First Swimming Lesson
This afternoon Radit started his first swimming lesson with Ditha & Lala. As usual, Radit was scared at first to go inside the pool, but once he’s inside, he doesn’t want to go out. He’s still shy with his teacher, so I had to assist him by following the teacher’s instruction. As an obedient child, Radit followed the teacher’s instruction although I have to always be by his side. At the end of the lesson, he can paddle while hanging on a swimming board, even though I still have to hold the board so he doesn’t drown. Sometimes his hands are not straight yet, and most of the time he still kicks with his knee, not paddle from his thigh (easy for me to say.. I too could never do the free style, I always hate the paddling).
At least he’s now getting more used to the water, the swimming pool, and his teacher. When I asked him if he wanted to go swimming again some other day, he said a definite yes.
The sad part is… I guess I left my cellphone near the swimming pool, I totally forgot when we were getting back home. All I remembered was to bring my shorts (which I though my cellphone was in), my swimming goggles and Frieza’s wallet that was given to me to pay for the swimming board. I remembered the last time I used my cellphone was to call happy who overslept, then I though I put it back in the pocket of my shorts, but I guess it must’ve slipped out. And to make it even worse, I only realized that it was missing around 2 hours later at home when Frieza wanted me to test his new ringtone. When he tried to call my cellphone, the respond was a machine saying "Please try again later". That’s when we were convinced that it must be in someone else’s hand, cause if it was still somewhere by the pool or someone took it for a good reason, the phone should still be on. Frieza tried to search for it around the swimming pool, but he came back empty handed. Despite the fact that my cell phone is gone, what I regret the most is the phone numbers and messages and photos that I will be missing.
Frieza said there must be something wrong with us, there’s something not halal because we keep getting trials. I think we should do more self-reflects, what mistakes have we made, try to fix them and do more good things in life. Do your obligations to get your rights. I guess I haven’t performed all my duties so my right is taken as a reminder. And as another reminder, be more cautious with your belongings !
Radit, as usual, is the most saddest when he hears that something is missing. He was the one crying over my missing cellphone.
