Tuesday, January 27, 2009 Went for a swim with the cousins today. I've never been very good at this form of exercise and lost interest after a few laps choosing to instead retire to the benches for a suntanning session after i was motivated by lin's lobster-red skin. I might even consider wearing an orange blouse to complete the look hahaha. I never realized suntanning was so comfortable, the morning breeze, an inviting addition which somehow felt foreign under the warm sun.
Sis almost drowned today because she forgot how to swim. I dove in to her rescue with a mixture of Baywatch scenes and a heart full of brotherly love. Dammit she wasn't the paperweight she looked to be. The water was above me, she was pinning me down and i was swallowing mouthfuls all in an effort of hefting her head above the water and trying to move towards the shore. My shouts of help was received by Stefan who came to OUR rescue.
I replayed the scene a few times, telling myself such an incident like could repeat itself again, and much worse if it happened to you and you matter more than anything to me and I'd gladly drown in place of you if it meant that you'd carry on living. And I could be the only person there. Note to self: Swimming lessons! Physically, submerging myself in the pool, lifting my head towards the shimmering surface, the regions beyond mutated by the behaviour of light. So this was what drowning looked like from above.

Watched Bride wars later in the afternoon with the cousins. I really love the show. Hathaway is so pretty. Hudson looked really fat at certain scenes, but what i learned from the movie apart from the intended Friendship Comes Out Stronger Through Difficulties was how crucial the period between engagement and marriage was; a world of change could take place in a matter of 3 weeks, like how Emma (Hathaway) found out that Fletcher (Chris Pratt) wasn't for her and vice versa, because they had different expectations of each other, and how they could not sit through the period where Liz (Hudson) was just tearing at Emma (which was pretty much the whole movie) and chose to end their relationship right on the D-day. It's so amazing that they've been together for 10 years and such a decision could still arise. I'm content now but at the back of my head, I worry for us.
