Hello dear readers, feast your eyes on the beauty of world class ice-skating. The closest I'd ever come to watching ice-skating prior to this was at "Disney on Ice" and my one and only time on the public ice-skating rink in Glasgow where I embarrassed myself by clumsily skating into a girl from behind and having her fall on top of me! Let's not even talk about the latter. Of course, these 2 examples are hardly worth mentioning in the light of these pictures of such poetry in motion, such beauty on ice!! Watching these ice-skaters was like watching the Winter Olympics come to life from my telly! I know more than a couple of girls who would have given up a week's worth of food just to watch this. Oh! I forgot to mention, this was just the main entertainment at the gala dinner I attended last night (for the Russia-Singapore Business Forum) and the skaters were a mixture of world champions, Russian champions and Olympic champions. Ice-skating legends such as Aleksey Yagudin, Victoria Volchkova and Alexander Abt were among some of the many who'd been flown in just to perform for one night and I forgot to mention the most important thing: The purpose-built ice-skating rink and the entire set-up of marquee, table settings, sound system and the rest of the works was on top of a BEACH (and a mostly man-made one at that)!! For those of you who've been to Singapore, this was on Siloso Beach on the little island of Sentosa! How ridiculous....I don't think I'll ever get to go to such a dinner like this ever again. Those Russians certainly know how to put on a show!!
Peas Oot.
