Okie i think i realise something today... I've got a phobia of deep water. Nope i'm not kidding... Yes i can swim though.
Its been so so long since i had a proper swim. With tab and del today at tampines swimming complex. Everything was alright at the 1.2m side then tab asked to swim the length... Swim swim halfway i panicked. No reason. Tsk tsk. But i persevered and managed to swim all the way! though i was really slow. Haha!! Don't blame me... I was just warming up.
That point of time where i panicked, i felt that drowning sensation. The fear in my mouth. My heart started beating so fast and so loud, it was all i could hear. It really wasn't easy. I couldn't reach the bottom of the pool and stand up. It took almost every fiber of me to find some courage, kick the bottom, close my eyes and make myself believe everything is alright and swim on. Slowly i got over my fright, looking forward i moved on and finished that lap. I gulped down some of the swimming pool water la. major EW!
After that it was easier swimming already once i got over the omg-i'm-afraid-i'll-drown sensation. then as luck would have it, i got a leg cramp. Oh wells. Note to self never to go into a pool without first showering AND doing warmups. Not going to repeat my cramp in the middle of the pool again... that was the worst i swear...
I shall venture to the pool again soon. I promise.
I also had my first driving lesson today too. Eventful day huh. =)
I had so much fun!! Gears 1,2 and 3!! and i was on the road too!! Exhilarating was the experience. Now i can't wait for my 2nd lesson!
Meeting the instructor for the first time was a tiring experience. Communication breakdown.. i took more than 5 mins to look for him la! Walking and circling the whole Eunos mrt literally. He looks like a grandpa sort and he seems to have much faith in me. Taught me in chinese but its alright. You should have heard me in the beginning, trying to grapple with the language. Haha... but as i went on it became better. =)
Clutch, biting point, accelerator, brake, change gear, indicate signal. Its hard coordinating but cool!! I made the engine stall like 3 times? On the main road. HURRAY. -.-" So sorry other road users. Can't say i didn't freak out BUT it was FUN!!

Just got an email from nus. thought it was about my appeal.. instead they asked me to do their survey. Blah. Fingers still crossed.
