Wonderful Coincidences Makes Me Wonder / 10:35 PM

Yesterday I went for a swim at the Bedok Swimming Complex and right now, I am thankful I went at a later time and waited for about an hour before I went in the toilet to change (when I always change the minute I reach the place). I was sitting on the chair and listening to music while occupying my mind with some stuffs. I got hungry and took out the double cheeseburger I bought at MacDonald's. Half way through the burger, I felt like stratching my lazy ass and so I did. My back was curving into a nice, comfortable arch and my head was tilting to the right, as if in doing so, I could achieve a longer stretch. For a split second I realised I still had a piece of the burger in my mouth, with the rest of the burger in my right hand. At that split second, I found my eyes staring at a familiar face. I can't remember if I accidentally muttered a swear (with precise and clear pronounciation I might add) but my almost perfect formation was pulled back and I pulled my gaze back towards the swimming pool. I turned my head to the left to watch as that person looked into the swimming complex, probably because he saw a familiar face too. I was in utter disbelief, after god knows how many months, there he was, walking along the pathway right behind me. Irwan, Irwan. HAHAHA! It made me smile in a way but yeah. I'm thankful to god I didn't change first because I found out he went for a swim that morning thus if I went in, it would be an extremely awkward moment. I'd probably run out and hide somewhere. I'm actually happy that I saw him though.

Other than that, nothing particularly exciting happened that day. My life is boring, I know. I get excited over seeing my idol for less than a second. haha. But like I said, it made me happy. Anyway, I swam 13/14 laps of breathstroke and 1 lap of freestyle. GREEAATTT. I got a super cramped leg when I finished that 1 lap of freestyle. Seriously, I need to train more. My stamina is getting worse but at least muscles felt worked out.

On a more solemn note, I congratulate all those that got the grades/aggregate they want for their 'O' levels and express my pity for those who didn't. But whatever results you get, this is not the time to celebrate just yet. Figure out what you really want: JC/Poly/ITE? If you wanna go Poly/ITE, make sure you pick the course you really like and can get into with the points that you have. After you've posted your choices, then you can relax and celebrate (unless if you have to go for JPSAE interview. That you must prepare port folio and whatnot).
