*splash* *shirek* *hahaha*
children playing, water droplets and waves after waves, 'attacking' each other. laughters, screams, shrieks, filled the air, under the watchful eyes of the 'grown-ups'. fathers and monthers, teaching their children the rudiments of swimming of floating, going through the motion with their kids, patiently guiding their young ones.
the water, cooling n refreshing, figures like dolphins n wahles cutting through the smooth surface n underwater, strokes after stroke, propelling each being forward, all in the name of fitness, in the name of a good tan, in the name of out swimming the fella in front of him, in the name of ego?!?
anxious parents watching their children, many not even age of 6, taking their 'Survival' tests, little kids in their pyjamas, jumping off the edge into the water, thier tiny bodies set out to over come that body of water that is 50 times their height...
"good! wads your no.?"
"carry on, finishing already"
"well done! come go and gather at the centre." the tester gives little soothing words of encouragement, bringing smiles to the kids who, in turn, smiled back at their parents. little tots, one of whom may one day carry the singapore flag.
bronzed bodies, white bodies, dark brown bodies, all gathered on the far side of the pool, all lying around on the foldable chairs, some reading, many sleeping, all for 2 simple purposes, to get a good tan and to laze the afternoon away. the occassional pretty lady passing would draw the attention of many like bees to honey, and the proud boyfriend would return stares to them or jus non-chalently walk to a seat wif his partner.
children, teens, parents, grand folks, all congregate around this small 50 by 25m of water, all in a day...
