well, it's been mighty hot these past few days. So decided to go to the pool to cool down last Saturday. The public swimming pool near my place was still under renovation, so had to travel all the way out to Yio Chu Kang for a dip. I thought there will be less people since I chose the middle of the day to swim. Well, seems like a lot of people also had the same idea, so in the end I ended up in a crowded pool again.
But I was more aghast at how unfit I had become. Hadn't exercise in the longest time, and it shows. I only swam breast-stroke for 30 mins, and it was at a leisurely pace. But somehow couldn't push myself to swim further than that. Cooled down in the pool and went off after that.
Decided to go swimming the next day to get my swimming stamina up again. Again, have to go to a far far place*, and again the same crowded situation. This time, "lagi" worse, only 25 minutes before I "puncture tyre" liao. Singaporean parents are crazy to make their children go for swimming lessons at 12 noon in the day. Don;t they know the hazards of skin cancer?? :D
Well, be swimming more often these next few weeks. Maybe I'll go and swim before CG tomorrow... bwahahahah~
Went to Chao Chu Kang. Yea, cos' after church mah, that's the "nearest" pool i can think of...
