swimming lessons + teacher-post

I love warm water!
OK that was quite irrelevant ._.
Nine at night again! -.-
Anyway, I've attained a tan. Highly uneven due to me wearing my swimsuit (that means, the parts covered by the swimsuit will be, shielded from the sun rays!) but bleah.
Quoting Jason Hahn in his book (Table for Three or something), the tanned parts of my body are in an "expensive shade of glowing mocha"!
:D Coffee-coloured skin! :D
Alright so it faded a bit, who cares? -yawns-
Ah. I do.
._.
OK let me start from yesterday's swimming hor? First at about 3 went to my aunt's house where I saw Wei Wei and Lucky yey! :D Wei Wei was damn hyper lor, hop hop hop and jump and twist and turn and whatnot :). Lucky was barking a lot when we came in. At about 5 o' clock me, my brother, my aunt and their new domestic helper walked to the swimming complex. I wore my swimsuit under (by the way, my swimsuit is not like two-piece or whatever hor) my long-tee and tights (my jeans look even more screwed than the black tight-like objects okay? At least the tights are not blue like my grandmother's bwahah!). So skip all the changing etc. and finding the instructor, my uncle.
Swimming. I hadn't swam for a v. long time lor, at least a year! First I used two floaty-boards and kicked my legs like a frog.
(Refer to post-about-area-calling-me-ah-lian.)
I love the feel of water on me lah! Especially when you don't move and just float randomly. It has a nice cool feel, sorta.
Oh and I didn't bring googles ._. Had to wear my spectacles, which sucks 'cos I can't see clearly underwater, and even if I did try and open my eyes underwater, they'll sting a lot.
Anyway.
Then I erm, quoting my uncle, "blow bubbles". Yeah, with my brother. He kicked his legs and when he was supposed to straighten them after kicking them, he didn't can, so his legs were bent ._.
Pointless lah!
Then I swam some more with the floaty-boards.
-swim swim swim-
After a while, we moved to the 0.9 metre pool. I can kneel in it and my head will still be above water, so it wasn't toey at all! D: I then used a floaty-pointy-hand-thingy and moved my hands in the appropriate manner. (How informative!) But with the disc-floaty-thingies that you're supposed to wear on your upper arm.
Yeah I know very baby-ish right! D:
But my uncle gave me a swimming-cap (?) that you're supposed to wear on your head so that your hair doesn't stick to your face (giving you a distinct water ghost look, especially with long hair), like my hair did -.-. He also gave me googles with degree, and even though it was for people with a degree of 200+, I could see relatively clearly underwater! :D
After a bit of swimming and hand-motioning my uncle removed the disc-floaty-thingies :D and left moi with just the floaty-pointy-hand-thingy. And then he removed that as well!, but after a while. I found that it was easier to swim without any floaty-thingies attached to me, compared to without anything/anyone supporting me! :D
I so rock! :D
My brother attempted to do so too and would have drowned if only the water level wasn't so low -.-.
Anyways. Yeah, today! :D The lesson was at 10.45 in the morning. We sorta gatecrashed, 'cos the lesson was supposed to be on Friday. But my uncle was ... cool about it.
:D
I used a single floaty-board to support myself while kicking to warm up. I had leg-aches lor! Untoey. Hurt a lot, but I continued so after a while it didn't hurt anymore! :D
Hmm, it was basically the same as the first day's except I learnt to kinda tread water, yey! :D And I swam ten short laps without anyone holding onto me! There was this adorable girl (who looks half my age, bleah! D:) who swam with me (my uncle's student as well), only a teeny bit slower (I've longer legs what!). She rocks lor! Demonstrated treading-water as well.
Then my uncle brought us all (my brother, me, adorable-girl, her brother) to the deeper end of the pool (1.6 metres, wao! :O) (we held onto the wall) to tread water! :D I could jump out of the water, so it wasn't very fair -cough) But anyway I did treading water relatively okay lah! :)
We also did a bit of underwater swimming and whatnot.
And then my uncle threw his key onto the floor of the pool and we had to go get the keys :D.
It was quite fun leh! :)
We had dinner after playing with the dogs and my other-uncle's Xbox. I accidentally kicked a plate of offerings next to an altar at the hawker centre D: But I did put the fruits back... And half-prayed to apologize. I deeply apologize!
Omy I do not want any ghost or whatever to haunt me -looks around-.
Ahhh!!!
The steamboat was tasty though.

The teacher-post is about Mr. English.
Erm, Etsuko said he read our blogs. I was surprised at myself for not being surprised at that fact (O.O), and kinda ... excited actually, but Etsuko was completely freaking out ._.
I think he'd not approve of my frequent use of Singlish and ungrammatical sentence structures. Therefore, for the rest of this post, I shall use my best English.
However, the-rest-of-this-post isn't very long!
In fact, it ends with:
Mr. English, if you're reading this: I just want you to know 6J and 6K loves you, with maybe the exception of FZ, but that's okay, because she loves you deep down!
Maybe not D:

Fin.
