WOW! WOW! WOW!

It was so fun today. Met up with Qisong and Abloy, then we went swimming......

As usual, I waited patiently at Superbowl for Abloy. Before that I went to his place to get his clothes. When Abloy came, it was still 30mins before Qisong's dismissal time, so the two of us had a quick game of bowling.

Soon after, Qisong called us when he reached home. We told him we were on our way walking from Superbowl to his place, and told him to get changed before we arrived at his place. We reached his house in no time, then Abloy changed his clothes and we left for JP. We took a cab since there was no bus. The taxi uncle was not familiar with the road, so I ended up guiding and chatting with him.

At JP, we headed to the food court to fill our stomach first. After that, Abloy and I went to do some shopping - ok, for our swimming trunks, because we have not been swimming for years. Both of us were so shy especially when the sales lady came to offer her service. But we overcame that and got what we wanted. Before we left JP, we went to buy bubble tea.

Walking from JP to the swimming pool was supposed to be tiring and boring, but it was not. Ha ha, Qisong and Abloy were busy competing their shooting skills - with the pearl from their bubble tea. It was so funny. We were joking and playing along the way, everyone was tired just before we reached our destination. However, when we were at the entrance of the pool, all tiredness were gone. The pool was huge and the best thing was there were not many people.

We paid for the entrance, then went to the changing room. Even the changing was full of fun and laughter. No doubt we are guys, it was only the second time we went swimming together so we were still relatively shy to remove our shirt in front of each other.

We started at the wave pool. Then we went to do some serious swimming. We switched between the outdoor pool and the sheltered pool. When we were bored, we went to do the slide. It was quite fun, but we did it only once, then we went back to swim again. Actually our main purpose for swimming today was to help Qisong prepare for his swimming test next week. So, the person who swam most had to be Qisong lor. By then, all of us had overcome our shyness and we were even joking about each others body. But do not be mistaken, we do not have barrel tummy, Abloy is in the track & field team, Qisong and I do train on our own free time, so all of us are quite fit ok. Suddenly, I thought our trip today was fun so I suggested meeting again for swimming, and my brothers without the need for much consideration agreed. We swam from 3-5pm. We wanted to continue, but due to the heavy rain with lightning and thunder, the life guard told everyone to get out of the pool. We had no idea when we could resume swimming, so we decided to shower and go for dinner.

We went to the sushi restaurant above the swimming pool. We ate a lot of things. As usual, Qisong had limited choice, but we still managed to find everything that he could eat. We had our fill, then we went to JP. We played a short while at the arcade. It was late, so we returned to Qisong's place to collect our things. After that, I sent Abloy home, then I went home. In the night we had our usual chat.

Today was really fun. On our way home, we were almost like thanking each other for the fun we had. That's what buddies or best friends share - happiness (and woes, but best if dun have). We promised to go swimming again.
