Alright! more than a year later! I post! :D
Last, last Monday we went swimming.
We’re never going back again.
I mean, we were the only ones swimming, me, Liew and Terry! All the rest of the secondary kids were like off for some running thing. Maybe NAPFA. Anyway, the thing is that there were only three of us!
We started late, Chia was more amiable than usual, saying that we’ll only do one hour of swimming.
Wheee. We swam like usual, Liew was bloody fast, Terry was fast and I was still slow. Haha.
Then Chia made us do like sprints and then the dreaded IM! Chia was like fantastic. He KNEW we hadn’t been swimming for more than half a year, and he still put our timing as though it was our peak times! Argh.
So anyway, we were doing some thing to do with erm… breaststroke when
DUN DUN DUUUUN! It happened!
A muscle cramp!
I just splashed in the water and died.
Like what the hell, it hurt so bloody bad! Like I was floundering in the water and yelling because my leg had spasmed and died on me, when this China coach person swam over and pulled me to the water’s edge, made me sit up and proceeded to stretch my muscles.
Like ouch and ouch and much pain. Waaaa.
Then he massaged my baby cow for quite a while because he was saying that my muscle was way too tense and the usual thing. I was sitting by the edge of the pool, muttering curses about how cramps suddenly came…
So then I went back to swim, as all the while Liew and Terry had been swimming breast. Argh. So I continued, just that Chia said I’d do half the distance as my leg was still cramping slightly. So continued at a much slower pace, angsted a little about how slow I was.
Then Chia decided that we should do sprinting as the last bit, for like around 25m which was good and short. We all sprinted, Liew and Terry got to plunge from the block while I started from the water as I had a cramp and Chia said that if I jump, I’ll just spasm in the water and die.
We swam the length, Chia told us our times and then Liew said the most incredible thing!
‘Mr Chia! Cramp!’
‘Aahh!’
That was Chia exclaiming in exasperation.
Then he gave up on us, stretched Liew’s legs and said that there was no point in continuing. (45 minutes into training! Gasp! A new world record!)
We went to bathe at the bathroom and it was big and spacious and for us three only! Yay! Liew and I were blaming Terry, as she's the only one of us still swimming competitively as per say, in her polytechnic. It's good to go back to like the old times. Watching the Liew siblings squabble over the most insignificant things is so amusing.
Then we went home, feeling tired, exhausted and happy, knowing that we’ll probably never come back again. haha
We're considering coming for the National's this year. We've got Shauna now yay!
Also: Terry says that Ben and Jerry’s are offering free ice cream on 25.4.2006! Go eat them!

The VP of the SPKC has brought Neon paint! Fear her!
Neon paint is nice and shiny and is scary.
We love neon paint!
The President is currently on her multiple mad lifesaving courses so she seldom comes for training. I detect a hint of sadness from the Evil One!
Dooooom reigns upon her!

Wotcher world! Yesterday we had our first training session of the year! And as usual, Nicola started the whole thing off with her famous, traditional words of ‘Fuck, the water’s cold.’
Go Nicola!
Okay, for the ones who want to know how much we swim, I have calculated it last night, when I was lying in my bed, nursing a bloody blocked nose and the ‘flu.
Training:
200m Freestyle
100 x 10 IM
600m Kicking
4 x 100m Freestyle
8 x 50m Breaststroke
200m Backstroke
4 x 100m Breaststroke
8 x 50m Freestyle
200m Backstroke
100 Warm Down
Total = 3900m
Go figure. At the end of the entire thing, my limbs were dropping off and I couldn’t feel my fingers at all. Ah Liew looked exhausted but noo…. She had to swim so fast and frighten everyone. Bah.
We had actually heard horror stories from Ah Liew and Nisa about how evil the woman could be… oh because our original coach was off for some reunion dinner. Nicola said some very sensible words:
‘What are we doing here at training when the Coach and the coach’s daughter aren’t even here?!’
Guess how many people were actually there swimming? For our club lah, that is.
Four! Hahahaha!!
I saw my uncle and his wife. That means Sean, Sherman or Selena were in the area around the swimming pool. Hahaha I borrowed a float from them for Nic, only to discover that the coach had given one to Nic once she said that she didn’t have a board.
My uncle and aunt had threatened me, jokingly, that they wouldn’t give me my New Year money if I didn’t return it to them, and when they saw me coming back a few moments later with the float they laughed and thought I was really scared that they wouldn’t give me my angbao money.
Wa hahahahhaxx
And the lady deserves an Oscar for ignoring me. Nisa said that she would ignore those that were slow, and she talked to Elizabeth only! Hahahahhaha true to her words eh.
After that training session, we went to Toa Payoh Central for dinner.
We had to climb up the overhead bridge, and we took one step up the stairs only to discover a serious problem.
We were too tired to climb the stairs!
Okay, fine, we climbed the stairs and then we finally got to KFC, which I found out later was a bad, very bad idea.
I ate the Bandito Meal while Nicola had the Zinger Meal.
We both felt sick later after dinner. Nicola’s stomach hurt while my head ached. Hahahah
We are so screwed.
Today I didn’t go to school. I had a splitting headache, and had a blocked nose and today wasn’t accounted for, as it didn’t have any lessons and my mom scolded me and made me stay home. I went to bed and woke up only after the entire thing had ended, ie 10am. Hahahahahha!
Oh yes.
ELEMENT OF THE MONTH: Chlorine
Why:
Because it got into my nose so many times when we were doing backstroke, that I think it enunciated my condition of the bloody flu. Chlorine smells funny, tastes weird and is used for disinfection in the swimming pool, and when you want to make NEWater, whoever wants to drink it.
Go Nicola!

Okay, this is like really once in a while stuff.
Let’s see, our Swimming team was previously exploited by Madam Carrie Ho and Mrs. Cindy Teo to do some thing known as the Sports Development Club! We were supposed to do our own board during the CCA fair but we weren’t getting a booth because we’re specialised and cool and don’t take stupid Sec 1s from the dumb CCA fair thing.
We’re too specialised.
Bwa hahahahahahahaha that completely switches the entire thing! Whee!
Yes, anyway, we were getting the better swimmers in the Primary school to automatically join us. As for the SDC, we are automatically members as our CCA is so horrible that we need another one to support it. Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
Yes, but the point is, we are in two CCAs and we don’t qualify for the things that that CCA provides. Why? Because…
WE ARE SECONDARY 4 O LEVEL TAKERS!!!
Damn them. Bwa hahaha!
We actually were nice enough to do their board for them. It’s all very pretty and colourful in this black background. Anyway, it’s thanks to them that I found…. NEON COLOURED PAPER!
ORANGE ROCKS!!!!
Do you know why? Because when you put it below your face, it’s GLOWS!!!!
Green is even better, because your face becomes some alieny greeeennn!!!!
Yes enough of Neon colours, I’m scaring my readers.
If I have any that is.
So anyway, we did their board and got what? Oh, a couple dollars poorer. Nic, we need some new way to earn money.
Donations, anyone?

Adeline called me this morning at 9am to tell me that she wasn't able to save the board as they were pulling it down that day and it was Out of Bounds.
So again, we morun for our board. Goodbye Board.
You've barely lasted half a year. Heck, you lasted only 3 months! I think. Hmm.... no more can we see SPKC, Ian Thorpe swimming like some fanged vampire of Swimmery Doom (what?I was being lame!) Ian Thorpe the thorpedo....
Oh well. Such is Life.
Goodbye PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA!

PS~ Does anyone know how to shrink my blog size or something? 'Cause apparently, it's only able to be properly viewed in a 1024 x 864 screen or soemthing. Even so, my tagboard's like waaaaaaay at the bottom... that's really odd hmmmm.....
Anyway, on with the post!
Heeellloooo!!!
HAHAHAAHAHAHAAH
It’s been a while,
Since I,
Started typing here…
It’s been a while,
Since I said I was craazzzyyy….
PS~ Sing that to Staind’s It’s Been A While
PPS~ Nic should know this song. I sang it so many times during the England Trip that it drove her to coffee.
PPPS~BWA HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Let’s see. What’s swimming related?
Oh yes, our training, due to the new whatchamallit…
Umm…
5-Day-Program-Thingy.
Yes, due to that, we have our trainings now on…
MONDAY NIGHTS!!!
Also!
The darling, incredibly dear-to-us, Trinity Christian Centre, whatever, is gone!! It’s gone! It really is! One day I and Ah Liew were on our way to the NEWater Visitor’s Centre and then we couldn’t see it anymore!
Oh NO!
What happened to it! I know. It’s because of that new building beside it! The swimming pool is gone! All gone and gone and gone…
WE HAVE TO MOVE TO TOA PAYOH PERMANENTLY.
I suppose no one’s happy about this. Toa Payoh swimming pools sink.
Literally.
Like, it has this funny sweat and chlorine and swimming pool water mixed together, the water’s always like eerily warm, like someone just perspired in there or something…(think along the lines of ‘like someone died in there or something…) And it’s ALWAYS crowded, with bunch of unwitting elderly people and children. They come over to our training lane while we’re training and cause this humungous jam and everyone has to nicely inform the misguided old people while the Evil Coach at the other end of the pool fumes about our horrible timing.
What?
It’s TRUE!
And add the unpopular schools, well unpopular with us that is, that are going to crash into it and show off shamelessly. At least it wasn’t so bad at Trinity, ‘cause everyone was too busy being screamed at by the coach than showing off.
Though I remember at Trinity we got slapped at while swimming, ‘cause we swim so close to the other lane (either that or vice versa) and cause they swim so damn hard, we get slapped.
But still, during competitions, it gets fun there.
For example, the Crazy Mushroom Pool!
Yeah… and Ah Liew’s thinking something like removing the lovely blue board of ours before the school really ends. They’re really gonna blow the entire thing up, so it’s goodbye to Shalom block.
And you know, the movers who are moving our stuff are called the Shalom Movers.
IS IT SOME SECRET CONSPIRACY?!??!!?
Sorry.
So, today, I have an Add Maths Lesson. Yes, I’m sneaking in, online at about 10.30am in the morning when my lesson’s at 12pm.
Wa hahahahaha!!!!
Anyway, on with the post!
