Hi people!
As I slowly walked towards the other end of the pool, anticipation filled the air. Gosh, it's been such a long, long time since I swam. How many months, I can't remember. But here I was (in Seremban, some more), going to take a dip at the pool. Can I still do the breastroke well - which is the only stroke I could do! Dunnolah... Let's see...
SPLASH!!! (Overexaggerating...) Alamak! I'm at the deep end of the pool. Better hold on to the sides... Fortunate that the water wasn't chilly. Okay... what should I do, what should I do.... Do a bit of water kickinglah... (konon-konon nak buat warm-up). Aiya... tunggu apa lagi.... swimlah!!! Okay... that I did (the frog style aka breastroke). It felt good. Great relaxing exercise. You get the whole body into "aquatic" motion. Hey, not bad.... managed to swim one lap. Quite a number of people but was okay - no traffic jams.
And so, back and forth, back and forth I went. Doing the same thing, over and over again, 'coz that's all I know! Next time, I intend to do that freestyle (hopefully my brother comes along to teach me) which has been eluding me for ages. Can't seem to get the correct kick and felt so difficult to gasp for air (gasping at water instead...). This is great! Great workout and this place (Seremban 2 Sports Complex) is near to my house.
The swimsuit costs me a bundle. Hey Doreen, I finally got my ARENA. But it wasn't the design which we saw long time ago. Tak apalah... as long as it becomes my passport to the pool.
So, that was how my Saturday was spent. As for Sunday, well... malulah.... tak ada cerita special.... tidur, cuci kereta, baca buku, tengok tv, etc. I think next week also going to be about the same lah.. Maybe go swimming on Saturday and Sunday too, hee, hee....
Regards,
