Swimming discoveries. xD

Its been a long time since I posted...
I think its the longest interval since I ever posted...

I've been doing a hell lot of stuff these few... weeks.

Some of them willingly, some of them slightly less then willingly... =P


I've been teaching some people swimming. (not like I want to take on anything, but rather, they're my friends).

But staying at the pool for 6 hours in a row, can sometimes open your eyes to many stuff that people "do" in the pool.

some hilarious stuffs include -

1) A women in her mid thirties, extremely fat. Flabby fats, and bouncy fats. Floating in the lap pool. Basically, she just lies on her back and waddle around the pool, pushing herself away from the ledge and floating around the pool like a gigantic float.

2) Old men who just stand at the edge of the swimming pool doing yoga exercises.
Yes. We all know tai-chee is good for the body. But in the water, thats a totally different thing. No. Its not tough. Its hilarious.

3) Little kids screaming their heads off, "I'M DROWNING!!! I'M DROWNING!!!" When their feet is on the pool floor.

4) Lifeguards talking to various people in English, Chinese, Malay, Tamil, Thai, Bahasa Indonesia, Hokkian, Cantonese, Hakka, Hainanese... etc.
I bet that you never knew lifeguards knew so many language eh.

5) Women attempting synchronized swimming that ain't in anyway "synchronized". In fact, they look like stranded mermaids (or just a school of lost dugongs)






...zzzz

6) Swimming instructors hollering insults to their students which includes,
"WHERE IS YOUR HEAD!? WHERE IS YOUR HEAD?! YOU GOT NO HEAD RIGHT?"
"GO DEEPER! YOU SCARED DROWN IS IT?"
"BLOW HARDER!!! BLOW HARDER!!!!" (which incidentally sounds like... what it sounds like.)

The uber ridiculous thing about this farce is that the swimming instructor is actually saying this to students who are under water. Yes. Underwater. How the hell can they hear what the instructor is saying??

Author's note : To simulate sound transversing from air into water, close your mouth, hold your tongue completely still in your mouth (paralyze it if you have to), and try speaking from your stomach.

Yes. We understand what you say perfectly.



Funny people that we have at the pool, which includes 60 year old uncles wearing spongebob squarepants swimming trunks and SUNTANNING.
Like their skin aint wrinkled enough.



bzzt.



Bleah. I'm going into army soon, so I must list a few resolutions to make within this week and next week before I enter camp.

1) Find out how PTP is like
2) Sleep before 10:00 at night by next Monday. (Hardest goal)
3) Get ready my "nuclear arsenal" (I think only my family knows what I'm talking about)
4) Find a good book to read
5) Exhaust ALL my muscles 3 days before I enter
6) An uber mushy romantic day with Alvin
7) Destroy Nicholas on his birthday
8) Redye my hair black and cut it even shorter.
9) Make sure that I pass on everything to tu-di to take over me in the band once I'm gone
10) Reach 65 kg.

Yes.

ok. WEEEEE~~~

umm. I think I'm ready to go in.

Heh heh.
