Sharing My Thoughts
After graduating with my Master’s from Victoria University, I never really stopped learning. Life has continued to bring new challenges, opportunities, and lessons.
My 30 years in the corporate world taught me about leadership, discipline, and responsibility. But eventually, I realised that the corporate life was not where my heart was. I decided to take a different path and challenge myself by focusing on a journey to skate and truly life-changing experience for me.
Skating has taught me to keep moving forward every day, no matter what obstacles come my way. 🛼⛸️
The freedom to skate, travel, explore new places, meet amazing people, experience different cultures, and appreciate the beauty of our environment has become a lifelong quest for me.
Looking back, I’ve learned that sometimes the biggest opportunities in life begin when we have the courage to step outside our comfort zone.
I came across a quote yesterday:
“Either the fear will go away, or the opportunity will. Moving Forward do what’ you love, no matter the challenges you face in reality.”
- Coach AB 🛼⛸️ Abraham Gasre
Learning with a Difference 🪖
One of the most common mistakes in inline figure skating is spinning only on the toe stop.
A good spin should find the right balance between the first wheel and the toe stop (not just the toe stop). This helps create better stability, smoother rotation, and cleaner technique.
The key is to keep practicing your foot placement until you find that “sweet spot.” It takes a little patience, but once you find your balance, your spins will feel much more controlled and effortless. 🛼✨
Around the world an incredible moment in the sky and on the ground! A skateboarder was captured during a spectacular stunt during a total solar eclipse yesterday, creating an extraordinary alignment of the Sun, Moon, Earth and skater.
A stunning mix of sport, timing and nature that caught attention around the world! 🔥
As an inline skater, I love going out, exploring different places, and bringing my skates along wherever I go. 🛼💯
Whether it’s a park, city walkway, new skate spot, or skatepark, every place can be a new adventure.
It’s a great way to stay active, discover new places, and simply enjoy the ride!
Today, I’m skating at One Utama Skatepark!

Malaysia’s First Ice Skating Rink - Asia Jaya Shopping Complex ⛸️❄️
A throwback to the 1970s, when Asia Jaya Shopping Complex was home to what is remembered as Malaysia’s first ice-skating rink, located on the 3rd floor. Opening hours were 9AM to midnight, with skating at $2.50 per hour and skate rental at $1.00 per pair per hour. ❤️
A special memory for Malaysia’s first generation of ice skaters! 🇲🇾🏒
