Yesterday I went swimming with Shimmy (a.k.a the sea lion)! LOL. I was a lil late cuz I had to finish the breakfast Mum bought me. When we finally got there after an incredibly long walk, we went to the coin machine and it simply didn't 'swallow' our coins like it was supposed to, our coins kept returning, and we commented" The machine's spoilt." Well, no big deal, so we went over to the next machine and continued dumping coins into the slot. We tried the dunking method, the put-coin-in-slowly method, until we realised we had to press the 'adult fare' button before we could slot in our coins! Oh God. Yes we are dumb pple. Haha.

After that coin incident, I suggested going to the teaching/medium pool and Shimmy looked kinda bewildered? Haha. She'd actually forgotten to bring along her goggles so she'd to swim around with her eyes closed most of the time, it was kinda funny and I seriously thought she looked like a sea lion! Haha. We didn't dare to take off our clothes cuz both of us are shy 'creatures'( one's a lion and the other's a sea lion). LOL. And we discovered that Shimmy had the same swimming costume as an Auntie at the pool. LOL. So much for taste huh? Haha. Kidding, it looked better than my old-fashioned costume!

In the beginning Shimmy suggested we do 60 laps in the pool!!! 60 laps!?! LOL. I usually do like 5 laps and slack around the pool. But it was finally reduced to 40 laps! Thank God! Haha. It was fun cuz we'd to swim around pple to avoid crashing into them. LOL. Shimmy has really good stamina! Yeah 'sea lion' really really suits her to a T! So after like 10 plus laps we got kinda bored and we looked to what the kids were playing for inspiration. And so diving it is! LOL. There were these bunch of kids who were jumping into the pool, and so we came out with our own style of 'diving'. We sat cross-legged by the side of the pool, with our side facing it, and then we slowly tipped ourselves towards the pool, and SPLASH! LOL. Shimmy says it feels like we's slapped by the pool. Fun fun fun!

Then Sea Lion came up with the backward diving, so this time we sat cross legged, only this time with our backs facing the pool, and we tipped ourselves into the pool. SPLASH! LOL. Another round of fun fun fun! Haha. Later we started goofing around again and pretended to be decomposed bodies floating on water, it feels so darned relaxing!!! Works and costs better than a spa session too! Haha. After awhile we got kinda bored so we started to paddle while we were floating. LOL. Idiot me kept bumping into the wall of the pool. Then we began another 8 to 10 laps. Then we came outta the pool and ran then dive into the pool at top speed. LOL. Atta splash! It was gallons of fun!!!

Haha. The swimming boards caught our eye and there was this green board that nobody seemed to touch. So I pushed it towards the pool and goofed around with the board. We tried kneeling on the board but we kept flipping to our sides instead. LOL. Then there was this lady who called to us and asked for the board back! Aargh! She wasn't angry or anything, she looked amused in fact, and it was so darned embarrassing! LOL.

We realised that the more we swam, the more wobbly our 'muscles' felt. So outta the pool we went, and crossed over to the baby pool for some water terrorizing. Haha. You see there were these mini slides at the baby pool that were too good to miss! Haha. It was fun and we preferred the red, winding slide cuz it was much faster! LOL. The landing was kinda bunpy, and our butts really hurt! LOL. We tried the blue slide and we discovered that we could land standing up! So many kids in the baby pool started to try out the slides. And all of us were running up the slide going down and then up again. Haha. We've popularized the slides! LOL. Then I saw this notice in a very obscure corner that read: WATER SLIDES. FOR CHILDREN BELOW 10 ONLY. LOL. How could we let a notice stop us from fun fun fun? So we ignored it and continued our invasion of the slides! Hey the lifeguards didn't 'beep-ed' us anyways. Haha.

After some time, we finally decided to go home. And boy, were we tired. It felt like a long, long journey back to Northpoint! LOL. We prolly looked like walking zombies. Haha. After swimming, it really feels like ya in a dream, cuz ya all light headed, ya vision's a lil blurred and my ears are a lil muffled, ya limbs are all jelly, it felt like we were drifting around on land!

LOL. So off to the foodcourt we went for some food! And I had Jap food while Shimmy went Korean. I bought a moisturizer cuz the chlorine's really drying up my skin. Wooohoo we went home thereafter! Haha. Tired but fun!

When I got home my sis suddenly declared she's not going to ice-skating and it totally ruined my mood, and we called off the ice-skating trip. Instead we're going ice-skating today with my sis. Aargh. She actually says she's stressed up and stuff, man she's only in year 1 I mean i do empathise with her but if she can't cope with school now then I guess it'll only be worse in yr 2. Why can't she spare a few hrs in the rink to destress? I mean it's useless to just stare at the comp screen for hours on end and hope to find a solution right? Go out for some exercise and feel refreshed and ideas would flow more easily. sighs. But I respect whatever she's gong through and I shan't ask her to go today since she violently refuses. Relax a little girl!
