swimming in the snow on 11.11.11

its friday. there was a time then mom and dad used to take us out swimming every friday. dragged us to the nearby pool when they had to as we grew were typically annoying teenagers lazy to go. they would still insist. it was our friday family tradition. followed by dinner.
we swam in the rain a fair couple of times then.. had ABC in the pool right after swimming the rain.

today commemorates my first time swimming in the snow. you'd think it was an indoor pool. sorry to break that charming thought, its outdoor but heated.
the view when you're swimming backstroke: epitome of beauty.
err, though, i am quite sure i ingested more than a few mouthfuls of chlorinated water due to my unfamiliarity with the style.

its friday. i'm swimming in the evening again. who said you cannot carry on family traditions?

111111 is just any other sequence of numbers.
i think i read somewhere once,
" people who get somewhere are those who look for the circumstances they want. and when they can't find them, they make it happen. "

it really is just like any other day. so what if it comes but once in a super long time [can't even remember if it was every century or something else]
i suppose it is fortunate that i have a super hyper friend who in her suger rush the night before decided to plan and create an event to go visit a really pretty photo spot for pictures after dinner.

at 11.11am, i was in bed, woke up long enough to send a text and that was all. best decision i've ever made i think. [i slept late *bleks*]

at 11.11pm, i was standing on the bridge next to the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, savouring the gorgeous view of snow falling from the sky in rapid flurries [try looking up, that's my favourite view] while shivering.

the next few minutes were spent running up and down the bridge attempting different camwhoring poses. 

someone decided that my day was not memorable enough and demonstrated that by carrying me on his shoulders.. i was SO SCARED TT.TT it was fun, but scary.. [cos i know how much i weighed *ROFL*] thanks dude, hope your muscles decided it wasn't too much? =P 

another person decided that we might not make our curfew [no thanks to this phone clock which is faster by 15 minutes *grrr*] and made us run an impromptu marathon back.. MY muscles were unhappy about this.. =(

hence, the really memorable day. 

it would have just been like any other day, but because of luck [the weather] and a little bit of planning, it turned out to be a little different =))

thanks elise for planning it *muahxx* sughi, shane, weiquan, kaichi, ann and farah, thanks for sharing the night.. you guys ROCK!!!
