| I'll remember this This happened yesterday and the day before actually. My family and I were staying in Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort and it was obviously an amazing place and well i've been there a couple of times before anyways so yeah. Since I got myself into photography, I decided to take pictures of the scenery and all and I brought my mom's Nikon D90 which she hardly even touches nor even knows how to operate it so instead it's usually either I or my big brother will be the one's who puts it into use. We were only staying there for one night because we'll be coming back there again tommorow (yay) . So as soon as we got there , My sister, little brother , my maid and I decided to go for a swim and check out the cool new waterslides and DAMN they were so much fun! Okay I must admit that i've never recalled of going on a waterslide eventhough i've visited a lot of theme parks with super awesome waterslides on them but I never tried it (sad). There was also an infinity pool and the scenery was just ..amazing. The infinity pool was actually deep , like over my head kinda deep and i'm not saying i'm tall but well i'm not short either so yeah. After all of the swimming and playing , we headed back to the room obviously and I was so tired and hungry so I ended up eating 4 plates of fried rice alone. Nothing happened on that day.
On the very next morning, we were gonna check out of the hotel on the afternoon so we had to make the most of our time there. My sister woke me and my brother up and we went to the hotel's cafe to have our breakfast and YUM DELICIOUS . I always ate there during the fasting month and damn the food there is just EXQUISITE I tell you. After our breakfast , we headed back to our rooms to get changed cause me and my brother wanted to go swimming but something in my head didn't want to go because I wanted to move around the place and take pictures..but I just didn't refuse so we went swimming. My sister was too tired since she and her hubby were expecting a baby so she decided to just stay in the hotel room and since my little brother and I could pretty much take care of ourselves...my sis just asked my maid to keep an eye on us and take care of us when we went swimming.
Okay so firstly we went to the waterslides again and same old thing, it was darn fun. We played and played until we eventually got bored of it so we went to the infinity pool . I'm a pretty good swimmer since I was a kid so I wasn't frightened of swimming in the deep pool and so goes to my little brother. Plus, We did fine the day before that so we were thinking "Nothing could go wrong today right?". But we were proven darn wrong.
In the middle of the infinity pool ..there's a little island where you can sit and admire the view but well, it's in the middle of the pool so in order to reach that spot, you must swim a distance . This all happened so quickly and I was also scared . I was in the other corner of the pool talking to my maid who was sitting in one of the benches but I didn't realise that my brother was in the middle of the pool. When I swam next to my brother , he was calling me for help and I thought he was playing so I didn't do anything but his face was so desperate and serious so I kept asking him what's wrong and then I panicked. His head was going up and down the surface because he could hardly float and since the pool was deep, his feet could hardly touch the ground . I didn't know how to help him because I was afraid he might pull me down too in attempt to desperately save himself . And so he did. he pulled me down as he tried to reach the surface and I couldn't breathe too so it ended up that we both couldn't breathe . My brother shouted for help and everyone was looking at both of us in the pool. There were 2 lifeguards on different corners and all the other one did was stare at us and waiting for my approval that we were not playing and was really drowning so he would save us by throwing the lifebuoy which he DIDN'T throw ! My legs were tired of paddling and so was my brothers's. I tried to hold onto someone because I felt like I was drowning too and I obviously couldn't hold my brother because he was holding me .I told my brother to let go of me and relax so I could try to save him but he wouldn't do so and I really couldn't breathe already.The feeling was super scary . I couldn't breathe at all and my brother even said that he was already swallowing water. My maid just realised and then she rushed to alert the other lifeguard on the other corner and before the other lifeguard could do anything , this random korean guy saved my bro and pulled him to the corner of the pool and then I could finally BREATHE! My brother and I thanked that korean guy so much . My brother then explained that he was swimming then his legs got tired and he realised that he was slowly starting to sink so he panicked .
Then when my family found out, they were well worried and angry obviously and they were also confused because my brother and I are great swimmers but we could experience something like that. Then my parents were angry because they asked us not to swim there in the first place eventhough we know how to swim because anything can happen and well, my maid was quite frightened too because she was the one who would be held responsible since she was the one who was supposed to be watching us. And they were right.
So the moral of the story is ...If you see a person drowning, call someone who knows how to save drowning people or approach them from the back or pull their hair and slowly drag them because no matter who you are ( even if you're Obama or some other important people like you mom or some family members) , they will pull you for help and you'll end up drowning yourself too. Secondly is , Shout for freakin help and don't be freakin shy because you either choose to drown or shout for help. Thirdly is , ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN NO MATTER WHAT. So that's what I learned and guess what..my brother and I won't ever be swimming again without my dad's supervision . ONLY MY DAD. I hope he wasn't serious because I usually go swimming with my family member's supervision but not MY DAD'S. And i'm going there again tommorow so yeah. wow i'll remember this forever.
