The view from here

Hit the pool this morning and thought I’d try swimming twenty laps,
you know, because I’m a total Olympian swimmer and all…

BAD IDEA!!!
Now my lungs are about ready to explode and 
my arms might as well be disconnected from my body 
because I lost feeling in them about an hour ago…
Blah, I am soo out of shape. =X

Wannabe Olympian trying to put on a brave face
and regain feeling in arms, all to no avail

The scandalous elephants were out sunbathing again…

God, they are such show-offs!!!

Later, my dad asked me to help put together
a huge compilation of songs for various sections of the hotel
– the pond cafe, the pool bar, the hook restaurant, lobby, rooms, etc.  
Talk about a total dream job!
Apparently everyone can’t get enough of Hem.

In the mornings, the sun shines down on one side of the pool,
which the Scandinavians are very careful to reserve beforehand
so as to burn themselves silly work on their tans.
In the afternoons, when the sun shifts over
to the other side of the pool,
the Scandinavians switch sides with the Japanese and Taiwanese,
who strive to avoid the sun like the plague.
It’s all very amusing to watch. :)

(P.S.  Sun is a lot hotter than it appears)

Currently Playing:  the new Take That album! Thank God they reunited and released this album, proving that they are far from your everyday boy band.  Standout tracks include the very addictive Patience, Shine, Like I Never Loved You At All and Wooden Boat, although, honestly speaking, all tracks are totally stellar!

Currently Reading:  The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.
