# swim!-

swim!

that's the title btw. wonder what the rest of you guys are doing. all pretty busy, if not studying: bio o, eating too much chocolate, oversleeping because it's raining and there's no other girl going with you to swim with FOUR CRAZY GUYS, seeing teacher for maths tuition and studying in the library (you were seen! by equally muggy friend of mine who went for maths o), at laos doing meaningful work, hanging out with your triple b gang before chalet etc.

come on i went at 9.20 to chinese garden and no one else was there! it darkened and slowly began to rain heavier and heavier. calling amy revealed that she just woke up and no girl wanna go with her cos weilin is sick. too bad, you just don't see your jacket until famine camp. (that's really trivial i must say, but it's just a futile shot at making you feel remotely bad) AMY1!?!! why you dun wanna go swim with us?? you will be in your tee, we won't see anything we shouldn't see one what. and besides there are plenty of things to see there, which we were not supposed to see but saw. i figure that since most of us are ald 18, it's ok to view m18 material to get more exposure to the cinematography of the world. so it's ok. i just managed to console myself on viewing porn shit.

the first was aloy teo who was there nearly ten. we lazed around and had nothing to do. aloy even wanted to go chinese garden, for the love of goodness. imagine our boredom! samuel! zhanpei!!!

so as we walked there it was thankfully clearing up (not samuel's blemish on his face though, which he was so dreadful over). samuel wanted a nice tan, which was the main motive of today's swim. i just wanted my neck to hurt less when i go home to study, but end up i was damn sleepy, and surprisingly quite warm from the burn. zhanpei said we weren't tanned much, and even less burnt. so i slept when i went home lah basically.

so the entrance fee was $1.50. i have no idea what that place is called. is it albirex? i remembered seeing some dinosaur name when i went in. frantic but resigned to looking for goggles, i went ahead with the guys to buy our lockers and our security. in the bathroom, we were hesitant to pull up our tees and reveal our muscles. because we really don't have very much to show to each other. no lah. i feel quite pale and flabby compared to the rest of you 3. so i shouldn't bring down everyone together. yeah. what more can you ask for if you don't watch your diet and eat loads of rubbish, other than the diet controlling staples of lots of vegetables, less oil, more fruit and lean meat?

zhanpei aloy!!! we can't misbehave and do bad things because the two of you decided to wear our school pe pants for trunks!! yah as if anyone will recognise that school and start pinpointing us as celebrities. as a famous quote from the opening of somerset mrt station last year during one of our class outings, 'wahchong? what's that?' and the girl was really trying hard to talk me up, 'serangoon jc?' good try bitch (for not knowing my school)

so in the end all of us wore pants, to varying degrees of fashionablism (no such word, and hwachong pants are really not bad compared to stupid nearly tight fitting and not very long at all blue pants). so in order of rides ... i never knew there was no standard pool here, but simply fun and amiable, easy to understand and use rides. the first we dunked into was the lazy river. it was basically a circuit which has multiple entry points, where you can use your loaned toilet seat cover (sorry, at least it floats in water), a GIGANTIC one too!, to float in the circuit propelled by underwater currents. fun. i really wished i had goggles at many points of the ride, especially during the times where there were water streams tumbling down like maxi showers. everytime i clear, i would be wiping my eyes. then there was this rock walled area we went past, complete with a seriously hard-hitting waterfall. and this carwash area where there was just sprinkles of water, as if we were gm tomatoes. i kept my head down and still felt slightly suffocated.

then we went to a more decent pool area where it was sort of like a lagoon. the front was deeper as we went along and the extreme end, which was cordoned off because of 'deep water', was a mountainous structure with waterfalls a-tumbling. so here samuel lay down to get his tan, the rest of us swam about and experimented with our floats, adopting various useful positions, one leaves your legs behind to propel if you need to catch up with fast moving asses of samuel at the lazy river, another slides your butt totally into the hole to virtually do almost nothing, except maybe push the water to turn yourself around. hmm maybe these are the only two i can think of. so i was trying frantically at the deeper end to get up on the float, independent of the wise sagey zhanpei (who really reminds me of yoda). it's really quite simple once you get the hang of it. just forcefully crawl atop the float using your one hand to push yourself ahead at the end nearer to you, once your whole body is above the float just flip over and your butt will fall into place. then there was the incoming waves of waves. and not to mention a fire-saving water spurt which simulated stormy conditions. so we were like in a tumultuous shipwreck kinda thing, except that everyone around us was really enjoying the seasick experience. a little boy was enjoying himself thoroughly (i thought he was in some kind of trouble), and making loads of yeehaw kind of noise. we derived the most pleasure from the shoreline, where according to physical geography theory, the waves would amplify in height when the shore becomes increasingly shallower. we got washed thoroughly with waves and tried to play shipwrecked and washed onto shore, but water entered my ears. we sat and tried to meditate at the most intense waveform, and i even tried to be as unstreamlined as i could, only to get seriously pawned.

next was the pink slide, the 2nd highest one besides the blue one which was under maintenance (damn). we stepped up all the way, only to ride on our toilet seats and cruise all the way down the pink slithering pipe and land on calm lagoon. it was particularly amusing to see people crash down and unable to keep their floats upright and stable. i shouldn't have laughed at others cos later we tried the yellow tunnel which didn't allow float, and i had to crash down in unfashionable fashion anyway, chunking up some water forcefully. anyway we found the pink tunnel particularly fun so we tried it a total of 3 times. what kids we are.

then was the jacuzzi place, where we really displayed gossipy uncles in midlife crisis, not having our own girlfriends to bring out on a wonderful school holiday morning to share your life and body with when she's down to her skimpy rubbersuit. no it wasn't that skimpy, and we can assure you that the guy is good-looking and the girl isn't so, so one of our criticisms was that the girl has good taste but not the guy. so bad right, people can love the person and her (oops too specific) inner beauty. i mean character, seriously, and not just go for the curves or anything. anyway we were really desperate, not to have our own girlfriends, but to look at them. after a while it gets sickening, not to look at them, but to look at them SECRETLY, so at many times i simply jerked my head towards them. there was once i found myself pointing outright at them, when cute little boys unsuspecting of such corrupting influences of the world (you expect m18 shows to be wholesome? no way) barge their floats in on our line of vision, effectively censoring the hot action. anyway the action really built up, at first they were quite hesitant to pat, and the girl even glanced upon us, but later they hid in a corner of the jacuzzi compartment they were in and began to hold each other real closely, patting along the way (as if there was music to pat along with). i didn't see the patting, but i saw the proximity. eww.

so after dunking ourselves into the lazy river for a few more laps of lazing (what else), we returned our floats and dunked ourselves from the yellow tunnel. then we concluded our splashing around, bathed and got out. the photos are a result of us, upon the exit stairs up and deciding where to eat. kfc there? no. chicken rice? too cheap, as in we wanted someplace more comfy and nice. so jp crystal jade it was. lai lai anyone? chicken rice too, but we still preferred crystal jade. the la mian so la! i ate the same thing i always ate when i go crystal jade. so we talked nonsense (as usual), whether richmond will get his psp in hong kong, whether we feel lonely and sad being unattached (that's me, i won't implicate the rest), and lots more. i think i look very sianned in my photos. i also noticed that my movement speed is damn slow. but anyway we walked around, admire handphones and music spinners, ddr players who ko'ed after a few steps, and we rode the train.
