Indeed, it has been challenging trying to get back the elements, and finding time to put together a good program.Nevertheless, what is different is that this year, the Singapore flag hangs over the rink here for the first time. And, for the first time, I find myself standing on the podium!I enjoyed http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FigureSkatingInSingapore/~3/yAUoltw0ReM/isu-adult-figure-skating-competition.htmlchowskates@gmail.com (Chow)1<p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LPJ9RlhypJxa3uJDAkYsoMiEZKA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LPJ9RlhypJxa3uJDAkYsoMiEZKA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LPJ9RlhypJxa3uJDAkYsoMiEZKA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LPJ9RlhypJxa3uJDAkYsoMiEZKA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?a=yAUoltw0ReM:PiTQKwgtR9g:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?a=yAUoltw0ReM:PiTQKwgtR9g:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?i=yAUoltw0ReM:PiTQKwgtR9g:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?a=yAUoltw0ReM:PiTQKwgtR9g:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?i=yAUoltw0ReM:PiTQKwgtR9g:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div>http://chowskates.blogspot.com/2009/05/isu-adult-figure-skating-competition.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21694826.post-5899537786257191111Mon, 20 Apr 2009 00:15:00 +00002009-04-20T08:38:51.492+08:00On Sunday, we had a little "family outing" to the rink, and I decided to put my baby on the ice - at barely 14 months! I wonder, does that make her the youngest baby to be on the ice in skates? She protested a little when I first put the skates on her feet, and it took some time before I finally got both skates on. This is her first time, and she has only just started to walk (on the ground, thathttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FigureSkatingInSingapore/~3/JQmtoHNalOw/my-baby-skates.htmlchowskates@gmail.com (Chow)1<p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0IBHun_gR_3sYJ8Nk19Y1bSNwUo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0IBHun_gR_3sYJ8Nk19Y1bSNwUo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0IBHun_gR_3sYJ8Nk19Y1bSNwUo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0IBHun_gR_3sYJ8Nk19Y1bSNwUo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?a=JQmtoHNalOw:6YIxx62Y_8s:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?a=JQmtoHNalOw:6YIxx62Y_8s:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?i=JQmtoHNalOw:6YIxx62Y_8s:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?a=JQmtoHNalOw:6YIxx62Y_8s:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FigureSkatingInSingapore?i=JQmtoHNalOw:6YIxx62Y_8s:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div>http://chowskates.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-baby-skates.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21694826.post-9128246076179314138Sat, 18 Apr 2009 06:57:00 +00002009-04-18T14:57:43.579+08:00comp-announceThe 2009 Hollins Trophy will be held on 5 - 8 June 2009, in Canterbury, NSW, Australia.

Here's a quick analysis (results sheet below)... Axel combination In both competitions, my opening 1A+1Lo+1T all became a +COMBO. *sigh* I really need to land my Axel clean, even if I am 1ft from the wall. What kind of choreography puts the Axel there anyway!??
