Ice skating

Is there a limit on how much can one embarrass themselves? coz if there is, i've way passed the limits. Went for ice skating with my friend Sham and her kids yesterday. I was not that keen really, but had no choice since the kids were all too excited to go.. so, there we were, 3 adults and 2 kids, all excited first timers. I was okie until we picked up skate shoes. but after that, I got too nervous that i slipped and fell right on my bum (yes, it still hurts) on my very first step into the rink. the rest is history. i'm so enrolling into an Ice skating class at the soonest.
