Gonna be another long one... Bear with it ok?

For today's BB we had to swim and I was like, "what the...". Ya la, my admin already told me the previous night, but according to Ding, he say that BB not so bohliao, so I didn't really think we had to la. As usual we started off with drill, then the briefing about a trip to Thailand, then some First Aid Practical involving bandages...There was the turban-like thing, which was totally ridiculous, because if someone's head is injured, you don't tie their head so hard that they get Brain Damage right? Then there was the elevated arm sling, which replicated the right hand over the chest and those who were being tied said the pledge...Ya so funny right...English pledges were predominant, but I still said the Tamil Pledge, which I could more or less remember, at least the front part of it and some parts at the back, especially "Adipudiyager, Konder"...Nvm I never said anything...Now after that came the long dreaded Swimming...Most people were very unenthusiastic about it, and even if they brought their swimwear, they still insisted on staying in the sidelines. Initially, that was what I was going to do, but then Staff Wesley that this event involved the achievement of a badge, so i no choice wear my PE shorts as swimming trunks (Hey, thats the secondary purpose of it) And I like swam in the pool where I could basically walk in, cause its only like 1.2m, so I was pretty safe. Thankfully the Water Polo team were using the competitive pool if not I think I would have drowned..Nvm again.. So i swam like 200m, then we had this Water Polo match involving 2 balls. 1 ball scored had points of 10 (Good Ball) There was another rotten, dunno-who-spit-that-out that Sergeant Shree had to sqeeze the water out every few minutes (Hope I got his rank and name right..Yikes). At first my team was losing like 60-150, but then the final score became 260-155. At this point, I must say something. Phoon you bloody cheat, go scratch me to get the ball, and you are already like 1.9m tall...You should at least let me throw you still can catch right? So bad la Phoon. At least your team lost even with you towering all over us.....Geez just felt like saying that, but really la Phoon...Yay so happy...Even happier that got a badge for swimming...O ya incase you guys didn't know, I haven't been in a pool for about 4 years...
