Memories in a Pool

Yesterday morning, my mum dragged me to go swimming. It was the first time in many many months, the last time being during PE lessons, that I went to the pool! Thank goodness we could still fit into our swimsuits. haha, after all that slacking and rotting at home I'm starting to feel like a lump. It felt great, to exercise again and more so, to be swimming again with my parents at a place which brings back so many fond memories.

I still remember as a young kid playing at the pool with my parents and brothers. We did stupid, quirky stuff like

seeing who could shout the loudest underwater, which we more often than not ended up being choked on water instead :/

traumatize my lil brother by tickling him without mercy. yea we were evil siblings.

Watch my lil brother helplessly trying to find his goggles which we threw really far away.

Attempting hand stands underwater.

Trying to swim without using our arms

Trying to swim without using our legs

Trying to swim without coming up to breathe

Trying to swim without our heads in the water

See who was the tallest by measuring the height of water against our bodies , which i decided to abandon after realizing i was always totally submerged.

haha I'll really miss those moments. Even the painful ones when I get kicked by my mum while she was swimming, coz she didnt seem to be able to scan her sides when executing her deadly breaststrokes.

Every lap told a different story, different feelings and experiences which inundated me.

As september draws near, I tell myself there is not much time left to share and feel them close to me. I wish time will creep by slower!
