today is my ... 6th day working as lifeguard !!
but i kind of tender a verbal resignation todae.
after so much struggle , i still did it!
I love tis job actuali..
recalling back,
i haf been swimming for my childhood n youth days..
i guess i started swimming when i was in pri2 or 3 cant rem..
i still rem i went for a useless MOE bronze, silver, gold award
followed by survival bronze, silver, gold award but not e gold star one haha..
den later went on the get life saving 1,2,3
lastly my Bronze medallion. e cert tt brought me to my dream job which is also e award dat ties down e end of my swimming journey.
actuali it was one day when i asked myself wad i liked abt swim when i reached a point tt i hated swim.
Den i realise i can be a lifeguard, i watched mani shows n realise all hunks are lifeguard haha..
like 715 in one of the drama. Den being life guard was my dream n goal i worked towards in my swim life.
i was reli good in my teens bt i reached e low peak during my JC swim.
I realised im reli lousy when i meet much better swimmers in e team.
I cldnt make it to participate in the swim meet.
Tats my greatest regret in my swim life.
I reli wish to haf audience watchin me swim, the satisfaction of hitting the wall wif my head at the finishing point haha..
People applausing for u !
cheering u on!
Wad to do , im tt lousy.. i was dejected n wanted to gif up swim.
aft tt i went on to uni.
Lifesaving caught my attention n blur blur made frens wif shi jia n siew lian.
Nt pro swimmers.. end up in e club..
encouraging one another each lesson.
Even in busy months of exams, we encourage one another to turn up for trainings despite the far journey fm clementi back to amk which take an hour or so ..
n days when our big aunt visit.
We dread to go for training.
And one thing thru out the yrs, i resisted on using tampons!!
wad e hell.. so scary.
I rem shi jia once showed me on tat was like 3/4 length of e bubble tea straw n its diameter is e same as the bubble tea one! wth !!! i nearli fainted.
I cant imagine the amt of pain!! poor girls.
So even how swim teacher in charge in jc forced,
i refuse to use it!!!
den when i reached e stage of BM .
my health suddenli deteriorated.
doc say i cant do vigorous excercise like timed swimming as we nid to hit target.
N pulling someone for 50m wif clothings on within 3.15 mins inclusive of a 50 m swim.
n pull e damn person upshore to do cpr can jus take my life away haa.
i rem jus few wks b4 the BM test date,
i was feelin v unwell. Im was also in e midst of exams.
was so v shag. when i missed the timming by few secs, i was devastated.
I felt so useless & tired.. My first drop of tears by e pool.
I felt ashamed bt those were tears to my beloved sport, swim!
another set back was e test for sentosa bay watch.
I failed the target of 8 mins.
Run swim run 200m.
Swimming against the current was real tough!!
u realise u arent moving!!! n ur energy r draining tremendously!
Well good thing la, i tink baywatchin there is 10 times r stressful.
u Noe la huh.. sentosa is famous for something.
the most fearful ting of lifeguard is not u dunno hw to save bt is u cant pull one back fm the 鬼門關 !
n where ur guilt will torture u for life.
swim was once my first love.. but now.. no love bt became something i treasure.
Im begining to hate e waters sometime.
Damn troublesome haha hate to bathe in e cold water..
bring so much barang barang n e dirty toilets haha..
when i showered in yck pool when i was young i see lots of shampoo foam dried up at the edge of the drain den i will tink tt how one will feel licking it wif the tongue..!! haha
i wana puke whenever i tink of the scene haha.. im sick!
bt safra is real good la.. clean toilets wif hot water.
It gif me a feeling of 初戀again haha..
i had another nitemare again..
dreamt of someone climb over e edge of the wall n commit suicide infront of my eyes..
N i screamed !!
when i open my eyes i was kind of making those weeping sound... sound so silly haha.
aft since i became lifeguard tis is e 3rd horror death dream.
my colleague told me he saved 6 person in total in his lifeguard life!!!
he is young lol..
im so worried i will meet one..
when im e onli one at the pool. better live e place asap haha..
looking at those notorious kids u will wana die i tell u !!
u tell them dun run,
when they tink they r out of ur sight they continue n they shoot u wif their water guns!
( haa.. cute kids though)
i saw kids taking their tests todae.. so cute..
can u imagine a 0.9 or ard 1m kid wearing their pyjamas in water n keep struggling to swim fwd when the water current n the weight of their pyjamas pulling them back haha..
it reminds me of those earli daz of mine.
Bt i miss the underwater circle thing ,
we nid to swim deep down n go thru it.
Tats v fun!!
oh ya,
tat day i said i wana marry a police rite?
todae i changed i wana marry a swim coach aft i saw Billy.
A coach of safra.

I started swimming wif dolly.
I rem i was in tis red ballet dress swim suit.
wIf e flares of e skirt haa.. i miss those daz ..
esp when the coach points n u n ask u swim to him den he will carry u sweet talk wif u n throw u back to the wall haha..
