Slick diver

Hahaha... this post is typed in response of what Rebecca typed about me in her blog. Both of us went swimming at Bedok Swimming Pool that Saturday afternoon. It was the first time in several years since I stepped into a public swimming pool...

It was a weird experience as I struggled to find out how to get in. Then after buying the entry card, I slot it into the machine & stood there wondering if the card would come out! And there was Rebecca telling me to quickly go through the machine gate. So funny...

When I went to change in the men's toilet, I felt that it was odd changing with several nude men around me. But then again, what's the problem... such thing is so common in the Army... its not my first time being in such an environment. So I changed & came out, with slight flabby thighs shaking as I walked. Not that I cared... I was waiting to get into the pool!

As the olympic pool was crowded with kids having swimming lessons, Rebecca & I waddled into the semi-olympic pool next to it. The water level was so shallow! Then Rebecca told me that nevermind lah, just swim. So I tried... but I felt like my legs could hit the ground coz of the shallow water & my arms swam so close to the ground that I could just walk with my hands! Argh...

After playing around in the pool, I managed to persuade Rebecca to go into the large pool. She complained that her swimsuit was quite see-through, but I told her nevermind lah... just quickly get in & don't act so obvious, then nobody would notice you.

Wow... I liked the big pool when I first got in! But Rebecca started to feel stressed by the large crowds swimming in the pool! But I loved it... though the water was salty & possibly dirty. But its ok, I seldom get to swim in a public pool anyway... but through this experience, I learnt to be thankful for my smaller yet cleaner & more peaceful home swimming pool.

With all the kids swimming across the pool & crashing into Rebecca, I had a remarkable idea of diving underwater till they passed. After Rebecca recovered from all the knocks, she noticed a person swimming calmly & cooly underwater... She wondered who is this smart alec... & then she saw... it was ME! Hahahaha...

I really enjoyed myself that afternoon... even went into the toilet, bathed, changed & came out in less than 9 mins! Why? Coz I wasn't wearing anything in the common shower area... so quickly bathe lor.
