Ice Skating Queen - Katy Perry adidas Collection

Finally it has been a month since I started the ice skating challenge, to celebrate my final lesson, I went to Pavilion and bought myself a set of adidas performance apparels. ^^





yes I even had the receipts to prove it for this set, only this set. :p


There was so many to choose from, I spent more than two hours in the changing alone conducting a fashion show of my own before settling for a set.

BEHOLD! MY BRAND NEW ADIDAS SPORTS APPARELS!
(This is by far my best buy yet!)










The sports bra can be worn on its own too.







Never seen myself that sporty in a long time.

I also got a white jacket,to go with the outfit, which can be worn with just the sports bra and tights alone.




*heart* max the white jacket design.


That's not all.

I finally got my hands on the famous pair of trainers from Katy Perry collection, the exact one she wore in her ad for adidas!


I wanted to the rest of the outfit she wore but they didn't have stock for it. However the sports bra was also from the Katy Perry collection, so happens.


Super nice right?!!








ceh~ like posing for ad :p








I bought it as a set actually, but I wore them in two different ways.
















Here are some photos from the lesson day itself.


woohoo~ I can skate straight~!



coach: ok now you can learn to spin like this
me: are you effing with me :S (just barely managed to skate straight)



no no... you spin with your feet like this *push in*



like this?


Here's the concluding video of my progress so far.

Started as a noobie with no balance at all, I'd say I've done pretty well.

Hey, I can finally skate!




What do you think? Not bad? Still need a little bit of improvement though.

But verdict~

"Nicolekiss is all in" challenge COMPLETED!




Will I continue to skate after this?

Hell yea, till I perfect my moves (definitely), and conquer the spin (maybe).

Have you given yourself a challenge lately?


Read here for Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 of my ice skating challenge.

The Missing Bag

It’s another MNG contest again!

This time the winner will get a trip for two to Barcelona, Spain. A city of history, culture, graffiti and shopping!













Some say it’s a city of robbery.




I kid.

What’s the missing bag about?
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
It’s about this bag that MNG lost which has a lot of Polaroid photos in it, photos of friends having fun in MANGO store camwhoring; you can find the missing bag here: www.facebook.com/mango.com?sk=app_255469604491330




‘Like’ the MNG page, register, and start sharing these ‘missing’ Polaroid photos with your facebook friends.

Like so.




And hopefully by doing so, the photos you share with ‘help’ the owner find the Missing Bag! Because inside the Missing Bag is the trip for two to Barcelona!

That’s the concept.
If you friend agree to the photo you sent, you get points; if you agree to the photos your friend sent, you get points; you register, you get points.

The more you share, the more points you get. And the one with the most points, WIN!




No self-camwhore photos needed for this contest, I’m just putting up mine for fun. :p

This reminds me, time to head down to another MNG store for a camwhore session; it’s fun!! ^^

Progress on my Ice Skating Challenge (with video!)

Wondering how my progress went with my Nicolekiss is all in adidas challenge?

Well I've recorded a video!! (read on)

Before that, here's a recap of the outfit I've picked out for my second day of ice skating lessons.


Or click on the link above to go to the post with all my camwhore photos of the outfit


And I know it's pointless (since I'm ice skating) but I just have to show off my brand new adidas pink and black sports shoe; I have another exact pair but silver in base color.




You would be able to see it if you follow my Twitter account. I used it to climb Mount Cook!!


Back to learning to ice skate.




Can you spot me in the photo?! I'm so colorful it's impossible not to. I love colorful clothing. ^^


This is my coach, Carmen.




She's really nice and am really patient with me even though when I'm obviously the worst 20s something student she ever had. I have like the worst balance for any form of sports. T_T




Btw do you realize she's wearing an adidas jacket?

Do you know that all ice skating coaches wear adidas jackets by default, because it's sponsored. OMG JELES! What a coincidence too! I swear I did not know this when I was signing up for the lessons.




There I go sidetracking again. @_@

Anyway I learnt a lot of moves and tricks to ice skating, not that one needs if one is already good at ice skating. It's just really useful for late learners like me to pick up the sport.



the kid was mocking me with her lightning speed. T_T


One thing after all these, I never knew ice skating could be so tiring. @_@




And the thing is, the moment my feet gets tired, I can't, even with all my might, skate properly. I will be tipping over at every glide/turn/slide, because it's using muscles I don't normally use when I walk, sleep and eat.


"Do I really need to skate more? I'm so so so so so so exhausted." Pleading at carmen the coach.


Here's a video on my progress, I also edited out the tricks and tips so that it becomes a tutorial for those who wish to pick up ice skating, take up an adidas challenge like I do.




I know I know. I'm still pretty shit. Will I really be able to finish my challenge? It's almost a month now and my aim was to achieve "passable" within a month! o.O

Am I setting myself too high a challenge? OMG kill me.

Still got one more week left. Will be TRYING MY BEST!

My new adidas outfit!

So yesterday I gathered up my courage and went for my second lesson with my coach.

It's pretty scary considering I only had one practice on my own between the first and this second lesson. And it's essential to practise a lot after a lesson because during your session with the coach, you picked up all the skills and then you execute them on your own during your practices.

But before I get to that, I want to show you the new outfit I got!!




In order to practise in conjunction with adidas new campaign "adidas is all in", I came up with my very own challenge called "Nicolekiss is all in" lol shameless :p




I got a pink top AND a blue training jacket. It's so colorful! MAD LOVE.







I don't know about you, but I think adidas has some really neat designs this season. They're all so colorful, funky, modern, chic, futuristic and everything wonderful I never thought sportswear was possible to achieve.


And check out my new shoes!








Happy face.


Few more poses.







Check out the back.


sexy back ^^


With the blue jacket.










Nice or not?

I bet you want to get hold of these brand new collection of adidas apparel right now. :p
Poison you. kekeke

And this was me right before my battle.




Hair tied and ready to skate~!

Bring it.
