swimming.

Hah, been using my bandwidth to download a game, so haven't been updating. And playing.

I can't remember much shit about the sec 3 camp, so... maybe another day for that.


Was at Queenstown Swimming Complex taking the gold star test, how I wished I was a kid then, one that knows no fear. Felt so sick while waiting. Argh. There was another batch taking a swimming test, think gold star also, one indian swim really fast sia, dunno how many laps ahead of the others. Got leg cramp still can be first to finish.

So my time came and on to the day. There's this gay tester, give us rubber bands, say for tightening the pants. Was reluctant at first, but monkey see monkey do afterwards..

Jumping off the fricking board is nuts. I was the (third?) to jump, anyone can jump at any point. Siao, look down I see until like die, then the stupid coconut tell me jump! nabeh, jump still tell me leg straight. Then the coconut remember to leg straight. I was like "fuck, fuck, straight ar!" then plunged into water liao. The splash concuss me, swim back shore hit second guy. lol.

Later got pee time, everyone go the peepee, then realised the pants too tight thanks to rubber band. lol sia, everyone crap in toilet, forcefully pull out "laser gun" and fire. dunno how the rubber band tie to pants, I pee finish tie to shirt. tester joke i can go be magician, lol...

100m swim was nuts, first time swim until 2min 11 sec, usual training 20 sec something.. then again, queenstown's water pressure is quite equal throughout.. and the swimming cap. and pressure.

was to swim 10 strokes each worth of backstroke and sidestroke, and another 10 frogstyle or freestyle. almost wanted to puke swimming the final laps of the backstroke, perhaps stomach not used to the water pressure, yet the sidestroke and frogstyle still quite ok...

Looks like I may get this gold star after all... wonder what's next. Life saving? And a sore left thigh and neck. How can the neck be sore from swimming? I don't get it...

Went to visit an old lady with my mum after the test. Sheis quite pitiful, daughter sorta abandoned her, herself in US and not contacting her... no one knows what happened. So now the old lady is abit senile, in a timespan of 2 years. Every now and then she'll ask who my mum is, have I married (lol, i that big meh.) and always mention the same few topics. Wanna drink water, she asks. In less than 5 minutes. at least she still has neighbours who kinda help look out for her. And a church that gives free food. (I doubt she's in for the jesus talks.) At least she does talk about other stuffs here and there... like how people ask her to rent out her place, and how she finds them shady. (Rent a room for storage? later drugs then you know ar.) Kinda sad, at her rate, she may end up being at the old folks home. And she's still hoping the daughter would contact her again...

Had a werid dream today, when I dozed off during maths homework. Mr Lee Boon Kit with Madam Chaim, at my house? And they like flirting around. In front of me. Walao, scare me awake sia, so disgusting.

Looks like video-editing club, now Under New Management, will no longer have slacking days where we just sit down there listen to teacher talk. And out first job appears to be the sec 3 camp. Sian, i want play along eh. And temporary teacher is Mr Lee Boon Kit. Fuck liao ar. And I've forgotten how to use those Mac video-editing tools. Haiz, long year ar....
