Sometimes what we say isn't what we feel
People say you don't know what you've got until it's gone. Truth is, you knew what you had, you just never thought you'd lose it.

goodie goodie

Just a short update bc its 1.50am and i napped 2.5 hrs today so i guess my blogger deserves some time on its own. For the past few months, Toby has been ranting on and on about how quiet & clean this public pool near his house was.. so i was rly imagining this secluded and clean public pool.. until this morning when i went to meet him in the morning for a swim and actually realised it was just the god damn pr sports recreation centre's swimming pool LMAO. 

i was so disappointed?! Bc all along he could have just told me that it was the PR SPORTS CENTRE'S POOL LOL. and he also made me walk extra distance by alighting at a further bus stop ... hahahaha that ass.

after today, i realised i might have Thalassaphobia (not sure if this word really exists or if the website is just trying to scam me)(but basically its a fear of the ocean)
Basically after paying $2 each to enter the pool facilities, changing to my attire, incurring another 40 cents for the locker and also after spamming sun block all over my bare skin (lol in the end we went to the shady part anw HAHA), i swam one lap in the pool and decided not to swim anymore because the overall distance for half a lap was far too huge. 
it was ok on my first half somehow because i was busy evading people coming my way (Trust toby to say it was a quiet pool LOL) but on my 2nd half i was already tired (LOL) but i couldn't stop because i was in the middle of the pool wtf. i tried to reach the floor with my legs but i couldn't and suddenly this 'Thalassophobia' just kicked in. like i suddenly realised how murky the pool was (toby claims its not tho), and i barely even cared about the people swimming beside me, because i suddenly and desperately wanted to get to the end of the pool. And when i mean desperate i mean like D E S P E R A T E because i started swimming literally as fast as i could (while calming myself down) because i suddenly felt like i was in the ocean (lmao mu rong) . like i was so god damn far away from the shore and i couldn't touch the pool floor and the water was murky and wtheck ... anw i broke into tears after toby told me to get out of the pool and we 
actually 
headed 
for 
lunch after my pathetic 1 lap and his 2 laps LOL. 

at least now i know I'm only entertaining my condo's pool from now onwards bc overall distance is smaller and i CAN REACH THE POOL FLOOR even if I'm in the middle of the pool. god damn this thalassaphobia.
