Swimming Lesson One
Today is my second day of leave. So far i've been doing alot of exericising cause i'm really out of shape. First day of leave i went for a little run, only to discover how pathetic i am. Run one two rounds and i was panting like a dog. Heart pounding like one who's about to have an heart attack. And i'm only in my early 20's!!!
Anyway, Today my boyfriend was my swimming instructor. I've always had a phobia of the swimming pool and stuff since i was a little girl. So my instructor of the past used to call me a cry baby. He was really stern and i didn't take it very well. It was because of him that everytime i see the swimming pool i feel queasy. But believe me, i really do want to learn how to swim. To get me into the pool alone is a challenge itself. Got to slowly warm up to being in the pool. Take today for example. My boyfriend had to hear me whine for an hour or so being in the pool and all. But he was really nice and patient with me. I wanted to learn the breast stroke, because in the past my instructor taught me breast stroke but because he kept pushing me, and eventually i just dropped out. I wanted to overcome my fear, and challenge myself. When i first showed him (Gary) what i know in the pool, he laughed cause my legs were freestyle but my hands were breast stroke style. Ok. Laugh.. i know funny right. The starting of the lesson was hard for me as i struggled to do the kicks correctly and not be afraid. It was pouring too but we carried on cause no thunder. He was determined to teach me. Think i make it as his most whiny kid he's ever taught. Plus i am the oldest too!!! *shame*shame* He also thought me how to breathe, blow bubbles and stuff. Oh and one more thing, i've NEVER swim in a public pool all my life. This is my first time. It was not very crowded and dirty as i thought it would be. *smiles* Although i still can't swim properly, i certainly do hope i can swim. The breathing is tough, and man is swimming one lap tiring. Think swimming exercises the lungs more than anything else. *bloop*bloop*I drank chlorine through the mouth and nose. I am so excited to go swimming again. Although i think it is v.tedious. Must bring swimming costume, goggles, towel, sunblock and swimming cap (which i have yet to buy). Unlike running, just put on socks and shoes can run already. Yup, hope this big girl can swim one lap one day.

Surprise + Shock
WEll well... Gary came back on the 17th!!!! (sat)
ANd he told me he will be back on the 18th! (sun)
I just finised church at abt 10pm at church and was making my way back home with my sis when suddenly a car with a handsome long haired man called out to me! I turned and my mind was completely blanked. The first word that came to my mind? NOOOOooOOO!!!!
Followed by: It couldn't be!!! How can it be!!! Oh WAIT! TOday is sat or sun?!
His car happened to be behind my CGL's car.. so my CGL was shocked as well. What? Linda has a bf? Oke.. i didn't tell her lah.. so she was kinda upset the following Sun.
But i was kinda touched. To be surprised and showered with love and gifts.
Yesterday had a half day off. It's so good not to think abt work or work OT... there should be more days as such. Less work but more pay!!

Confession Time
Just got back from church...
For the first time, i am actually helping out in Junior Youth. In particular the sec 3s coming sec 4s.. erm.. its a struggle for me definitely because i feel so little. What i know of the Lord, is just like that... its not much. I felt awkward and in fact, i felt like i was being analysed by the young ones. It didn't help much that i was so burdened in my heart. During the 2nd service, my heart was just wondering, i mean i know pastor was teaching on Titus. But my heart was very burdended and here's why...
Friday i over-reacted at work. And, i caused alot of pple to be worried and unhappy. My boyfriend, my colleague and my boss. Looking back, i feel that it was stupid for me to have done what i've done. I only knew i was angry and was more concerned about my issue than others. I mean you know when somebody push u, i don't think you will go and hug the person. Rather u will want to push him back. And, i think that was what i did and maybe abit worse. Very burdened about Monday how my colleagues look at me and judge me for who i am. I feel broken inside and not myself the past few days. I don't know how.. or what to do next.
Just want to thank AMadea my closest church friend for praying for me. For my heart to really forgive and to have the wisdom to amend the broken r/s at work.
This Thursday, Jean and myself will be bringing the girls out to like bond with them. I also don't know how i'll fit in. Hope work on Thursday don't drag me down.
Right now i feel very vunerable becoz of the dumb thing i did at work and becoz i really want to give my best shot for God in this service. Soo.. praying he'll work through my weaknesses... and that even though my knowledge of the bible is only so little, that i can still share sth that can stick to their hearts and carry them through throughout their lives.
