Swimming Pool



Its been really long since I have blogged....life overall remains very much the same except that I'v grown both emotionally and without doubt physically (yes I have pretty much gained back all the weight I lost last year). But above all I've learnt how to swim. Yipee (a tick mark for my bucket list)



As a kid I considered myself a mermaid. I loved water (maybe my love for water is highly related to the probability that I'm an Aquarian). But alas I could not swim...I used to get into water tanks (more like a big bucket) and splash around and think im swimmimg. Ahh those days of innocence.



From my days of nearly drowning and dying in a three feet deep pool (which my friends laugh is "impossible" as im 5+ feet...but believe me i really did die that day) to water standing on a six feet deep pool, I can say I'v come a long way. My swimming coach + BF, Vincent laughts when he recalls my initial days when i suffered from the notorious "spider-girl syndrome" (Spider-girl syndrome: A girl who refuses to let go of the swimming pool walls/railing or whatever she can grab hold of for fear of death by drowning). LOL...

Now that I have finally leaned the fine art of swimming I just cant wait getting into the NGV Club Pool near my apartment to show off my skills to the newbies....hahah...but really there is nothing like a swim on a hot summer evening. Wow I really do love water.....
