Last night was my first lesson in my learn-to-swim course (not it’s not this one), held in Sutera Harbour Club. I spent an hour in the water, didn’t feel tired kunun. But when I was getting out of the pool, immediately after my ass was above the water, man was it heavy haha!

You know lah inside the water you don’t feel the gravity pulling all those excess fats.

Anyway, for this lesson actually I joined my colleague, who’s hobby is fishing and now he wants to try his hands on deep sea fishing, so not knowing how to swim, he invited me to join him for the lessons. I grabbed the opportunity since I would sink faster than a rock when thrown into the waters.

You can visit my colleague’s blog here. His favourite pastimes are fishing and chillis(!).

Funny when most of my colleagues and families know about the plan, they would say “wahh ngam oh, can exercise and become slim”. I reply “no - it’s so that I won’t die of drowning!”. See how commercialisation has changed people’s thoughts on swimming lessons.

Anyway, right after last night’s “class”, I went to withdraw money from Maybank and paid my car loan and credit card in the cash deposit machine in EON bank. Imagine, 9:00PM at night and I had to queue! At BOTH places!

Now the news is, starting from February all the banks will be closed on Saturdays as well. Alalala apa lah. If only I can pay all my loans thru the cash deposit and online, then I wouldn’t mind this decision.

I would say the queue at the machine would be longer when this new banking hours is in effect. Hope the banks will think of something clever to allow the “common people” to pay their loans conveniently.
