SWIM

"So, what do you wish you've learnt when you were younger?" Dot asked.

It was Saturday night. We were both waiting for the bus at Tampines.

I considered for a moment. "Ballet", I answered, "But no longer so."

"How about you?" I asked.

"(insert here)." (Ok, I confess. I forgot what you replied.)

"Then... What courses would you likely to enroll your child in future?" She asked further.

I paused. Now, I've never really quite given it much thoughts yet. "I think I'll firstly ask my child what he/she is interested in. If there is none, perhaps I would consider violin. Or the cello.

How about you?" I re-posed the question back to her again.

"Piano piano!" She replied enthusiastically, with a glint in her eyes.

It is exactly what had first came into my mind a moment earlier. "Hmmm... It's a tad common, isn't it?" I commented, throwing in my two-cents worth. Anyway, it had been the reason why I chose violin and cello over piano in the first place.

"Oh, yeah. True true..."

The conversation paused momentarily. After a moment's thought, something better struck me.

"You know what?" I grinned. "I think... First and foremost, we should both enroll our kids for some SWIMMING lessons."
