Swim School Singapore: A Parent's Guide to Choosing the Right Program
Tumblr media
There are several factors that parents encounter when choosing their preferred swim school in Singapore. Selecting a suitable swim school determines the progress of a child in swimming in addition to the level of confidence and experience in the water. This guide will assist the parents in understanding the various factors that one needs to consider when selecting a swim school Singapore, with a special emphasis on ACE DOLPHIN SWIM SCHOOL.
1. Qualified Instructors
Several things should be considered first before enrolling your child in the best swim school Singapore one of which is the qualifications of the instructor. Ensure that the school has qualified teachers who are certified to teach children of all ages. Every instructor is a qualified one, who understands the best methods to ensure that a comfortable environment is maintained during the training sessions. They know how to address children with different abilities and give individual attention to every child.
2. Class Size
This is an essential factor because the class size directly determines the quality of teaching your child gets. Small classes provide a way for instructors to focus on each student and deliver materials effectively. In the case of swim schools, it is recommended to focus on classes that are conducted with little instructors-to-student ratio. We believes in having small classes for the students hence enabling them to learn at their own pace.
3. Curriculum and Program Structure
It is also important to have well outlined curriculum that is able to embrace the basic skills such as floating, breathing, stroke etc. It should also include fun stuff for kids with the aim of keeping them busy and eager to learn. Best swim school Singapore provides effective programs that are informative and suitable for people of different age and skill level, form first timers to aquaphobic and professional swimmers. This approach helps every child develop a good base and at the same time, learn in a fun way.
4. Safety Measures
One obvious key consideration to any swim program is safety. Make sure you find out how safe or secure the school is before you put your child there. We are safe by keeping the environment clean and well-renovated, having safety measures in place, and ensuring instructors have information in cases of emergencies. We also have laid down policies regarding the maximum number of students that can be allowed in a class plus the depth of water that is appropriate to allow students in.
5. Location and Facilities
The location of the swim school can be a factor that could bring a lot of difference to your family. Ensure that the schools that you get are well situated, and center with facilities that will host your training. Due to its nature of being a swim school for children has an appropriate location in which parents can easily drop by and pick up their children. All the buildings are well appointed, and there are up-to-date infrastructures for learners’ comfort as well as parents.
6. Feedback and Progress Tracking
It is very important to grasp how your child is developing. Choose a swim school Singapore that gives feedback and monitors the progression of the child or the student regularly. We give clients progress reports regarding the learning and development of each child regularly so that parents can know their progress and challenges faced during learning sessions.
Conclusion
The selection process of the right swim school in Singapore is very beneficial to your child, swimming.  By considering factors like qualified instructors, class size, curriculum, safety measures, location, and feedback systems, you can make an informed choice.

Reading that article from the sunday times and just gagging:
"Upstairs, in a corner room, was where she asked for three books to be read and five songs to be played to her every night",
"According to family friends they drove a Chevrolet Suburban — an SUV fit for the secret service — sent Christmas cards showing their impressive holidays and brought their daughter’s pony to school for show and tell.",
"The family would also give teachers the keys to their holiday home as a thank-you present.",
"They had a hot tub on the patio, a jetty with a boat from which they waterskiied and two jet skis. They were also members of the sailing club.",
"“When Taylor was young, the family came over for dinner and the kids were all swimming,” Hand says. “They [Swift’s parents] asked me if I had the Disney channel and I said no. There was some country singer on that was Taylor’s idol — and so they got up and they left.”,
"Her father, Scott, now 72, grew up nearby. He was a financial adviser at the investment firm Merrill Lynch. Swift’s mother, Andrea, now 66, was a marketing executive born into a wealthy family who grew up between Singapore and Houston, Texas. Andrea’s father was the president of a construction company, her mother an opera singer.",
"A third-generation banker and former radio salesman, he updated them on which songs she had cut (I am told he spent $10,000 on building her a recording studio at their home); which singles were coming out next (by the age of 15, Taylor had a record deal with a company in which Scott had bought a 3 per cent stake); where she was touring (he had bought Cher’s former tour bus for her); and the awards for which she needed votes.",
"During the long, hot summer days Swift would walk through town, her guitar slung across her back, much to the judgment of the local girls.",
"Swift gave out wallet-sized photos of herself as Sandy to the kids in the years below her at school",
"Her notebook, he claims, was filled with pages of her own autograph.",
"Many, however, thought she was “a bit of a brat”, from the moneyed side of town and modelling clothes for Abercrombie & Fitch. At 16, Swift bought a Lexus SC430 convertible, the car driven by Regina George, the meanest girl in Mean Girls.",
"Swift made an entrance when she first arrived at Hendersonville High School, says a former classmate, telling people she was going to be a star. “We kind of rolled our eyes because, being in Nashville, we hear that a lot,” she says. “It was just such a strong statement for someone of that age.”
Underdog who??? Tbh it's not just TS being obnoxious, rich, spoiled brat flaunting her wealth left and right, it's her entire immediate family.
“There were times when, in middle school and junior high, I didn’t have a lot of friends,” she told the Great American Country network in 2008." damn, I wonder why. /s
Classic nepo baby.

Eliza's Cruise Adventure
“Can we buy you a drink, miss?”
Eliza looked up at the three men. They were wearing board shorts of loud, gaudy colours. All were topless, showing off their tanned, muscular bodies and chiseled abs. These young punks were most probably in their twenties, thought Eliza.
“Well, if you can get me a Passion Spritz, that will be nice.” Eliza smiled. She had never said no to free drinks. She let her robe slid off a little further, giving the men a good look of her pink bikini-clad body. She was aware that her mum who was lying on the reclining next to her was giving her a disapproving look. But Eliza is no longer a little girl who needed her mother’s approval.
Eliza had worked hard all her life. Ever since her father left her mother to be with his mistress in China, she had decided that she will need to study hard and earn a good living. If nothing else, to show that useless father of hers the good life that he is missing when he made the decision to leave them. She did well in school and earn several scholarships to ease the financial burden on her mother. When she was in her first year in NUS Medicine school, she met a rich and handsome classmate which eventually became her boyfriend. She thought her life had turned for the better but alas, her boyfriend cheated on her just months after she had given her virginity to him. She broke up with him immediately and swore never to depend on any men. When she completed her medical degree, she worked hard at her job in NUH, rising quickly through the ranks. With her career stabilising and a high income, she bought a condominium in the western part of Singapore to live with her mom, fulfilling her promise as a young child to give her mother a good life. True to her words, she never had a boyfriend since her university days. She spends all her free time with her mother, eating at restaurants and going on holidays. And here they are now, on a 4 night Royal Caribbean cruise to Jeju Island in Korea.
Although Eliza is now in her thirties, she had taken good care of her body. Her skin was still flawless and her strict adherence to a diet and Yogo routine helped her body stay slim and youthful. It was no wonder that many men at the swimming pool were ogling at her when she walked past in her pink bikini. Eliza may have sworn off men but she enjoyed the stares of appreciation that she was getting from men. Men are so useless. They only think with their dicks. Eliza smirked as she put on the white bathrobe from the cruise liner. It was not out of modesty but instead, it was a calculated move on her part to cover parts of her body, to make it more mysterious and seductive.
The three men soon returned with her vodka cocktail. They purposefully sat on her seat and tried to touch her. But Eliza was too smart for them. She wrapped herself tightly in her bathrobe and the men could not touch her bare skin. She soon found out that Ahmad, Beng and Chandra were classmates at NUS and had just started work. They decided to take a cruise together with their first year-end bonus as a sort of celebration. Perhaps they thought she could be a memento of their trip, Eliza smirked to herself. Young punks. She will squeeze them dry of their bonus and leave them high and dry. The men continue to talk to her and she encouraged them by revealing parts of her body but never letting them touch her. Throughout, she continued to ask them for drinks and snacks. She even got one of them to buy her a pair of Gucci shades. By the evening, she realised that she had enjoyed the attention so much that she had been a little reluctant to leave the pool for her dinner. The men wanted to follow her but she skilfully evade them.
She went to Jamie’s for dinner with her mother. Throughout, her mother was nagging at her over her spaghetti on how she was being overly flirtatious and how she will regret her actions. Eliza was bored. She did not blame her mother but her mother was really too conservative. It was all fun and nothing else. If men can flirt with women, why can’t women flirt with men?
To avoid further nagging, Eliza went down to the bar and left her mother to return to their room. She was wearing a purple long dress with a low neckline, showing off the cleavage to her ample breasts. She was pleased that her choice of dress drew appreciative stares from the men when she walked into the bar. As she sat at the counter, the three men that she saw earlier plonked themselves on the seats beside her. She was pleasantly surprised to see them again. To be honest, they were good conservationist and were good looking. Ahmad had a boyish looking face and a nice brown tan. Beng had a muscular broad chest that exuded masculinity. Chandra was the most average looking of the three men but he sported a large, angular nose. Supposedly, this was the mark of a large cock. Eliza laughed to herself. She had not seen any medical reports on this yet and wondered how this myth became popular.
“Any of you want to buy me a drink?” Eliza purred seductively. The three men rushed to be the first to buy her a drink and other refreshments. Several hours later, Eliza realised perhaps a bit belatedly that she was getting drunk. She usually knew when to stop but she must have missed that point with the engaging conversations and the never ending flow of drinks. She blamed her mother momentarily. Maybe she drank too much because she was pissed with her mother’s nagging.
“I need to go.” Eliza stood up resolutely but faltered straightaway, holding onto the bar counter for support. “Come on, let’s have another one.” Ahmad suggested.
“The night is still young.” Beng argued.
“Or do you want to come to our room for another round.” Chandra said with a twinkle in his eye.
“No. I am going up to my room.” Eliza knew that she must not drink any more.
She walked a few tentative steps but stumbled forward on her fourth step. Ahmad and Beng ran forward and each held one of her arms. “Thanks.” Eliza muttered, her world spinning crazily around her.
“Let’s go to our room.” Chandra urged.
“No. I want to go back to my room 1120.” Eliza stated as firmly as she could. She looked at the bartender, who was looking at her direction. “I want to go back to my room 1120.” She repeated loudly, making sure that the bartender heard her. These young men would not want to try anything funny now that the bartender is aware that she does not want to be in their room. Eliza smiled to herself. Still smarter than you guys who think with their dicks, assholes.
The three men brought Eliza to her room. She was still too weak to stand on her feet and was half-dragged to her room, stumbling along the way. They met several people along the corridors and Eliza made sure that they knew that she was heading back to her room. “These men are bringing me back to my room 1120.” She repeated loudly whenever she saw anyone along the corridors. It was embarrassing to be that drunk but it was important to draw attention to herself, Eliza rationalised.
Once the door to her room was opened, the three men dropped her on the bed. Eliza fell asleep immediately when she realised that she was safe in her room and her defences dropped. Chandra closed the door behind them and smiled at Ahmad and Beng knowingly. Their plan to make Eliza drunk and then fuck her had worked. Well, almost. They had planned to bring her to their room but the venue was not the most important thing, was it?
“Eliza, you back?” Eliza’s mother called out from the toilet. The three men froze, looking at each other. Shit. They forgot about the mother. Beng looked around and pulled off two pillow cases. He motioned the other two to stand with him behind the toilet door. The toilet door opened and Eliza’s mother walked out in her bathrobe.
“Eliza? Are you okay?” Eliza’s mother asked, drying her hair with a towel in her hand. Beng pushed Eliza’s mother down onto the bed and sat on top of her. He pulled her hands behind her and tied them with one of the pillow cases. Eliza’s mother screamed and Beng quickly took the towel and stuff it into her mouth, muffling her screams. Ahmad took the remaining pillow case and tied Eliza’s mother’s legs to stop her from kicking and struggling. Secured, the three men carried Eliza’s mother to the sofa.
“Well, there were a few hiccups but I guess it was almost as easy as ABC, huh? Shall we begin?” Ahmad rubbed his hands gleefully.
“This bitch is really too much. It is payback time for all the money we spent on her.” Beng laughed.
Chandra did not even bother saying anything as he simply smiled and undressed himself. The other two men followed his cue and undressed themselves too. They quickly removed Eliza’s dress, revealing the twin mounds of flesh. Despite her age, Eliza’s breasts were still perky and firm. The men took turns squeezing them and sucking on her nipples. Eliza moaned in her sleep and the men seemed to be even more excited when they heard her.
“Fuck! She trimmed herself down there. She like some fucking schoolgirl.” Ahmad exclaimed as he positioned his head between her legs. He licked her love hole as he brushed his fingers against the thin pubic hair. He slowly peeled the folds of her love hole open carefully, taking in the sweet smell emanating from her vagina. He found the small bud of pleasure and carefully licked it.
Eliza opened her mouth and moaned softly as pleasure coursed through her body. Beng took the opportunity to thrust his manhood into her mouth. He could feel his hard cock reaching the back of her throat. He pulled Eliza’s head over the edge of the bed. Eliza’s head now tilted backwards and allowed his cock to reach even deeper. “Fuck! Her mouth feels damn good.”
Chandra straddled Eliza and rubbed his hard cock between her breasts. He closed his eyes and moaned softly as his cock coursed through the smooth valley.
By this time, Ahmad decided that Eliza was sufficiently lubricated. He spat a glob of saliva onto his hard cock and guided it slowly into her. “Fuck. This bitch is so tight, like a goddamn school girl.”
Chandra laughed when he heard that. He turned around and helped spread Eliza’s legs wider. 
Ahmad thrusted hard and finally got his cock totally in her. It was so tight and pleasurable that he could not stop himself from ejaculating after only several thrusts. “Shit! What a waste!”
Chandra laughed again. “Weak! My turn!” Ahmad relented and Chandra took over his position. Chandra’s cock was even larger and thicker than Ahmad’s. It will be even more difficult to get his cock into Eliza’s tight cunt but Ahmad had lubricated Eliza’s hole well with her love juice and his semen. Slowly, Chandra eased his cock into Eliza, stretching her tight hole that has not been used in years to her limit. The pain shot through Eliza and she woke up with a start. The first thing she saw were Beng’s balls swinging in front of her and her mouth being violated by his cock.
“Mmph!” She tried to push Beng away but Chandra had now pushed the last two inches of his large cock into her, going where no cock had ever gone before. Pain paralysed her, followed by blinding pleasure. Instead of pushing Beng away, her hands grabbed his ass and pulled him even deeper into her mouth. Beng groaned in pleasure as he went deeper, the pleasure from his cock finally tipping him over the abyss. He shot out white waves of little Bengs, flooding Eliza’s mouth and bathing his cock in them.
Eliza was choking on Beng’s ejaculate. She tried to push him away but was too weak. Left with no choice, she swallowed his man juice as much as she could, but there was too much and some even went into her nose.
While Beng and Chandra were fucking Eliza, Ahmad had sat himself next to Eliza’s mom. He had been stroking his cock to hardness while watching his friends enjoying themselves with Eliza when he realised that Eliza’s mom was staring hard at her daughter being fucked.
“You like what you see, huh? Are you an old horny cow, huh?” Ahmad jeered. He pulled open her bathrobe and was pleasantly surprised that the older woman had even larger breasts than her daughter. The skin was still soft and smooth. He bent forwards to suck her tits as he stroked himself. His cock hardened as his body touched the older woman’s bare skin.
Aroused, he took an irrational risk. He removed the towel from the older woman’s mouth and stood on the sofa, positioning his hard cock in front of the older woman.
“Suck it, old cow!” The older woman complied, sucking his cock hungrily.
“Look guys! The old cow is horny!” Ahmad laughed. “God! She still has the skills. Damn it. She is good!” Ahmad groaned in pleasure as he started fucking the older woman’s mouth.
Beng walked over and untied the woman’s legs. He spread it open and started licking her cunt. The older woman moaned in pleasure, Ahmad’s cock still in her mouth.
By this time, Chandra had been enjoying fucking Eliza for some time now. He gave several deep and slow strokes, before finishing with a series of quick thrusts. Eliza’s love canal was flooded a second time after more than a decade of drought. As Chandra withdrew his cock, he was pleased to see the white man juice slowly seeping out of Eliza’s cunt. That was so erotic and made him feel that he had successfully conquered that proud bitch.
Eliza was feeling confused. She was conscious now. She knew she should be frightened by what had just happened but instead she she wanted more. It had been so long since she had sex and they had made her feel so much more pleasure than her boyfriend so many years ago.
“What? What are you staring at, bitch?” Chandra saw a confused look on Eliza’s face. Eliza looked away and was drawn to Chandra’s large, black, hairy cock. Maybe there is some truth to the myth. That was a huge cock. Did it actually went in her? Unbelievable.
Chandra saw Eliza looking at his cock. His cock hardened again. He smiled to himself. “You want some more of my cock, bitch?”
“You are not strong enough. Weak bastards that think with your dicks? You can’t even last long enough to pleasure me, assholes.” Eliza retorted without thinking. The rebellious streak in her took over.
Chandra saw red and pulled Eliza towards him. Her legs were now over the edge of the bed while her back was on the bed. He turned her over, spreading her legs wide and without any warning, forced his cock into her, impaling his whole length in one deep stroker. Eliza screamed as pain tore through her. She was still not accustomed to such a big cock in her. Chandra pulled her hair and forced her body to arch against his. This only caused his cock to slide even further in, eliciting pain and pleasure all over Eliza’s body. Eliza willed herself not to blackout. Chandra tilted her head towards his. “Not strong enough? I will make you come so much that you will beg me to stop, bitch.” Chandra grunted as he pumped deeper and faster into Eliza. Minutes later, he seeded Eliza again, with semen dripping out of her cunt, a long white river along the length of her legs.
Ahmad saw what was happening and took his cock out of the older women’s mouth. He walked over to the bed where Eliza was now lying flat on her back, exhausted. He spread her legs wide, sticking his hard cock covered with Eliza’s mother’s saliva into Eliza’s cunt. This time, it went in easily. He pulled Eliza up so that she was now sitting on his cock. He sank his head into her breasts, sucking on them slowly. The first time was too quick for him. Now, he intends to savour Eliza. As Eliza bounced slowly on his cock, she started moaning in pleasure as the slow love-making generated gentle waves of pleasure.
“Look at her!. She enjoying being fucked. What a bitch!” Chandra sneered. His cock twitched and blood starting flowing into it again. He pushed both Eliza and Ahmad down onto the bed, straddled Ahmad’s legs, positioning himself behind Eliza’s ass.
“Fuck, Chandra! What you doing, huh?” Ahmad sounded a bit piss at having his pleasure disrupted.
“I want to fuck her in her asshole. Give that bitch two cocks at the same time.” Chandra spit on his fingers and inserted them into Eliza’s asshole. Eliza froze at the unfamiliar intrusion but Chandra was impatient. He quickly inserted a second finger, trying to loosen it as much as he can. Eliza winced in pain but that only encouraged Chandra’s sadistic instinct. He pushed his cock into Eliza’s ass, forcing it against the muscles in her opening. Eliza screamed, her whole body reacting to the unnatural forced entry. Ahmad groaned in pleasure as the muscles squeezed his cock even tighter. Chandra did not care and forced his cock even deeper. Eventually, Eliza had both cocks deep in her. Chandra pushed himself against Eliza, the movement causing Eliza pleasure in both her holes. She moaned louder and louder in pleasure, unable to control herself.
Beng was amused at his two friends fucking Eliza. But he had no intention of joining them. Having his cock coated in another man’s semen seemed disgusting. Anyway, now that Ahmad had done a good job lubricating the old cow, he decided to fuck the old woman instead. He lifted her legs over his shoulders and fucked her on the sofa standing up. It was not tight as to be expected, but a cunt is a cunt. It was still warm and pleasurable and the old woman seemed appreciative of having a fuck at this age. She was moaning softly, seemingly enjoying herself.
The three men continued fucking for a while and ejaculated for the final time. Dressing quickly, the three men looked at the two women, covered in semen, exhausted. They laughed and exited the room quietly. It was already morning. The ship had docked and they should quickly leave the boat before the women wake up.

Oh, also! I'm about halfway through the final rewrite for the almost case of the swimming pool! (we're at about 10.5k words right now)... I might actually need to have it britpicked afterwards because there's some spots where I'm like "I don't know where this phrase comes from actually" xD But we're getting there! Today is Monday so hopefully I'll be able to send it to whoever volunteers to britpick at some point this week :3 In the meantime, a short extract:
“Finally,” mum says rather than return her cheerful greeting. “I pressed the call button ages ago. What if there had been an emergency?”
“I’m sorry you all had to wait,” the nurse says, wheeling the tray so it’s within Edwin’s reach. “We had some complications with another patient in the ward.”
Mum huffs, and dad mutters something that sounds derogatory about the NHS. Edwin braces himself for another tirade about the state of the government but is mercifully spared by the nurse’s questions about how he feels, his energy levels, and other things Edwin is sure must be a lot more informative to her than they are to him.
“Well,” she says when she has all the answers she needs, “things sound promising. You’ll have to wait until the doctor visits this afternoon to get more concrete answers, but you’ll probably able to go home soon.”
“Oh, he’s not going home,” mum says dismissively. “His father and I must fly to Singapore for business reasons. He’ll be going straight to school.”
“Well,” the nurse says, most likely unaware that Edwin can see the way her eyebrows rise on her forehead, “he’ll be back to learning in no time, then. I’ll see you again around lunch time, yes?”

Dolce in casual/alt clothing. 🎃 she has a cute pumpkin hair tie, ready for spooky season! Because I’m bored here’s some more dolce-y info down below 🤡
Notable quotes:
“shěn mè lái dě? shěn mè lái dě?“ (what is this? What is this?)
You guys really forget that where I come from—Singapore is like the melting pot of the East…. Well… more like a hot pot. We mixed a little but stayed separate enough to know the difference between each other’s cultures. And that includes English. I speak it. It’s just not my favorite language to speak in.”
“Is this country full of careless fools?! I put MY HANDKERCHIEF RIGHT HERE! So we can have THIS SPOT! Does Italy not respect the unspoken rule of chope-ing?! These ass-dicks moved it to the other table IN THE SUN!!! What do you mean you don’t know what Chope-ing is?! It’s putting your belongings down to reserve a seat or table! This is what we do at Hawker Centers in Singapore! I know we’re not there captain obvious! But I thought EUROPEANS were civilized!”
“I’m not dumb. I know the sign of the cross. The Father…Son…and Holy Spirit. My caretaker taught me prayers before bedtime. And… I DID go to a Boarding School in Napoli you know. I just don’t really believe. Too many rules and forgiveness. 2 things I just cannot do.”
Favorites:
Favorite Band/Artist: Jun Togawa
Favorite Color: mint green
Favorite Animal: fennec fox
Favorite Movie: grave of the fireflies (she likes to cry)
Favorite school subject: geometry
Favorite Meal:
Appetizer/Side dish: Tonjiru , miso soup with fried tofu
Entree: Chili Crab and Seafood Linguine( Filipino spaghetti is her guilty pleasure and comfort food)
Dessert: Melon sago, Halo Halo
Drink: Boss Canned coffee and Limoncello cream
Snack: Melon sorbet, seafood cup ramen
Food/Drink Dislikes:
Appetizer/Side dish:
Entree: anything that has strong smelling cheeses (Gorgonzola) she won’t let ANYONE eat it in her vicinity and beef tendon
Dessert: there’s literally no dessert that dolce doesn’t love… unless it’s Durian flavored.
Drink: umeshu
Snack: olives, cheese platter
Additional notes (any other details you wanna add about your OC?):
She picked up a habit from her caretaker that never seemed to fade. Dolce points with her lips. A Filipino trait called “pagmumurá”. Her grandparents thought it was endearing since it showed they had a close bond so they never discouraged it.
As a child she wanted to be a Star. But she learned about the tragedy of Pepsi Paloma from her caretaker so she decided she wanted to be famous from the “background” by being a fashion designer. She thinks about past child stars a lot and hopes they weren’t taken advantage of. This was a core memory for her that many adults cannot be trusted.
She has a soft spot and high respect for foreign domestic workers in Singapore. They work very hard to make higher currency to take back to their home countries. She misses her family’s caretaker Tala who she saw as an older sister/ mother figure.
Love is a powerful thing that Dolce obsesses over. She only got any love and attention from her maternal grandparents and their Filipino caretaker until her grandparents passed away from cancer and old age. Her grandparents and Dolce adored the Caretaker. When she had to go back to the Philippines Dolce felt like she was losing the closest thing she had to a real mother.
Cannot swim for her life. Her biggest fear is thalassophobia and she drowns to death in the canal after passing out from hypoglycemia.
Refers to Risotto as lǐng xiù (leader) and the boss as guai lan (irritating,loathsome, strange dick)
She reacted the most violently to Sorbets death by getting ill out of disgust and shock. She hasn’t been able to eat solid food for 2 months after that.

so to whom it may concern. fuck you (jet lag)
I. WANT. TO. FUCKING. DIE.
in my head, it's 8:00 am and I have to get up before my nonna comes in and throws a bucket of ice-cold water to sleepy head (me). in reality, I am no longer in Italy, it's 1:00 am and I'm supposed to wake up at 6 because of ✨new year's resolutions✨ fuck you too as well, stupid stuff I promise myself I will do during the year and only actually do until March (I have to go to the gym and I can fight for title as the world's laziest person ever)
besides, my 1655 ass is not even able to go in X to get bored because everyone and their mothers are ripping each other's throats like fucking wild animals. if the man does a joke and someone laughs let it be. it wasn't even that deep or even something mean or bad. it's not like he said that he hates his guts and wants him to choke on pasta carbonara. it's fucking winter *break*, give me a *break* as well and go rewatch Monza 2019 or Singapore 2023 or Bahrain 2022 if you must, based on whose 'side' you decide to take, dear little person. it's good for your liver to let people be happy in their 'joyful ignorance'. I swear.
this was my neutral (you know what? I'm a schwartzy girlie now. that's how fucking neutral I am in this whole shit) and pacific (I have a migraine, I'm jet lagged as fuck and I'm fucking done with these people fighting over anything. if I have to choose, I'll choose whoever's side is telling absolutely everyone to go fuck themselves.) interference on the whole LA video and CS joke thing. as a both-ferrari-boys girlie and old school tifosa.
pd. how my brain is able to manipulate itself into believing that 'this year it's our year' but not into motivating itself to go three floors down to the gym that's next to my apartment block and listening to my brother for once to actually do something good for my health besides going on a run every three months and a swim twice a year is beyond my comprehension. if anyone wonders, my brother is a PE teacher and he tells his students about me. specifically uses me as an example of what they should not do. I feel a bit like a oversharing bitch today. sorry not sorry.
