i just started my swimming classes 2 weeks ago..it was not too bad..besides the fact that we always end up with back and shoulder pain by the end of the lesson:) i realise that my fear for the water is so strong tat i always hesitate before attempting anything in the water. mind you, the water is only 4 feet and i am more than 5 feet! :)

why do i have fear for the water? let me highlight the whole web community on something that happened nearly 10 years ago...my family and i went to the waterfalls in Kota Tinggi, Johor. it was a beautiful day..the sun was shinning so brightly, the birds were chirping...it was all so glorious..when i, being the wise person that i always am, wanted to stand like Xena (The Warrior Princess) on a huge rock. and before i could attempt to do anything else brave, i slipped on that moss filled rock, slid down the rock and landed into the gushing water..and when i say gushing, i mean GUSHING!!!!! i was screaming and yelling!!! all i could ever think of at that time was..IM GONNA DIE, I HATE D WATER, IM GONNA DIE, IM NEVER GOING NEAR A WATERFALL EVER EVER IN MY LIFE!!! thank god, one of my very brave cousins manage to grab my leg before i went further...

and so people...tats my very sad story as to why i have a fear for water....:(

people never seem to understand whenever you tell that that ure frighten of the sea. they say things like.."aiyaa..u wont drown la..ure so tall..u can just try to walk a bit further away from the beach..im holding your hand rite? u wont fall la..." STUPID!!! DUNT U UNDERSTAND!!! IM BLOODY SCARED!!!!

and then there's the whole dumb ass thing that they do. throwing everyone into the water!! they somehow, cannot understand the fact that i am scared!!!! whenever i see any of my cousin's charging towards me, i run away from them as fast as my legs can carry me and find safety..which is behind my mum or dad...and if they manage to get me, they grab me and so very conviniently toss me into the sea...:( and when i manage to stand up, spit out the water from my mouth, wipe my teary eyes..i end up looking like a wet rug...:( and my cousins end up laughing their heads off at the pathetic sight of me! i end up as a subject for their cheap thrills!!!

so now, after 10 years..ive finally decided to face my fears..im going for swimming lessons. its not going very well..but from wat i was, this is progress for me...:) so to all you people who think tat its funny to throw people who are terrified into the water, well i have news for u, ITS NOT FUNNY!!!!
