The lost ring.

Recently, I learnt how to swim. Yes! After almost 3 decades living in this planet, I am finally able to. Better late than never I guess.

And so we went swimming yesterday - I wanted to try out my new goggle.

It is fun doing this new thing called swimming, it reminded me when I first learnt how to cycle. The feeling that you can actually float and glide and move on water feels quite cool :)

So you can imagine the super anticlimax when I discovered that I lost my wedding ring in the pool after I got out. Yikes! All the joy of swimming vanished. The happy-o-meter dipped to the extreme negative. Heck I felt panic! My ring?! Where is it? Such a big pool!

After quickly grabbing a torch light from the apartment, we went back to the pool to look for the ring... my precious :) (can't resist that one!)

Wife was super calm, dunno why. I acted cool but inside almost crazy liao.

Such a big pool and such a small ring? Where do I start? Luckily being the noob swimmer, I only swam a few areas so we started there. I even ask the guys in the pool to help.

No luck.

It was already nearing eight, the light wasn't very good but I wasn't about to give up really - since the pool was to close at 10pm. I swam back to where I first jumped in and looked there.

And there it is, what was lost is now found. When I surfaced with the ring in my hand, I held it up and shouted across the pool to Li Ping," Yeah! Found it!" Joy beaming from my face, so bright I thought it was morning! hahaha.

The guy in the pool congratulated me and I thought to myself, wow I'm so blessed :)
