Yesterday I
Removed the stitches! I didn't quite dare to look. The after effects of removing is I think the pain-est thing (apart from the anesthatic jabs) of the whole ordeal.
Swam! For the first time, after not swimming for 12 days, when I entered the water I didn't have the "you're drowning" feeling which I usually get if it's more than a week! Looks like Rod's right after all haha. But I think the stretchcords partly helped! But I still gotta keep watching my stroke mann.
"Training" (inverted cuz it wasn't tt bad for handicapped ppl like me who slacked haha) consisted of a nice 800m warm up! Which is just like how sis' sets which she told me to do started off from day 1 :) Swim, kick, IM. Then we did some sprints which I guess is to get our heartrate up? IMs. And then I started to wonder will I ever really be able to do it again and do I even want to :( I guess it's just paranoid about the wound! Sis explained abt the air being already inside so when you're in the water the pressure and all thus the bubble moving around. EWWWwww. So disgusting. But the opsite did last and all n it was dry inside!
So cheers! :)
Also, TKGSSB -- Gold with Honours! :)
I'm so proud of tkgssb! I'm so thankful I stepped into there, into that amazing band with so much history. It was a superb learning ground, both in terms of clarinet playing, music making, intonation, tone, the exposures we had cuz of connections, and also outside music wise. Dealing with relationships as we grew up. Of course we had the coolest batch of seniors leading us, BEST BAND for syf 01! :) Still can recall them practising for Othello and us being left behind when they go for combine haha.
Saturdays! Of nice happy mornings coming to school JUST for bandbandband. Morning sectionals at 4th floor with the SEVEN of us :) Lunch-ing at Caltex! Working hard together as a section. The lusciouness you hear all around. Playing together as one. Afternoon combine! (The fear and dread that strikes when you hear ppl shouting 'Combine!' haha!) And then the chilling out till late at Parkway for dinner :)
TJband was a totally different experience. One that I enjoyed nonetheless. But nothing, will ever take that place of tkgssb in my heart. And I'm sure I'll be a totally different person if not for stepping into there :)
