After so many years. I've finally gotten it. I remember the first time I went there was for a swimming carnival when I was in Primary school. Then, many years down, I went there for badminton once. And then, many years went on, and I went there by invitation to the pool for a swim once again.
Well. This place is none other than the Civil Service Club at Tessensohn. And yes, I've gotten my membership today.
For those who don't know, I live opposite the civil service club, but have never really gotten a chance to enjoy the facilities because, yah, no one in the house was a civil servant. I could freaking see the swimming pool from my place and being a kid who's grown up swimming alot, I had always wished I could swim in that nice competition sized pool. Finally, now that I am slogging my ass off for the government, I finally got it!
Took a 3 minutes walk over, with all my swimming stuff. I found the membership office, which was in the Corporate office. Filled up a form, and presented my TTSH card. In just 5 minutes, I was a member. And I didn't even need to pay, cos they'll just deduct it from my pay anyway. Oh, membership is $6. Unlimited access to the pool. I think everything else must pay, but I think I'm only interested in the swimming pool and maybe the bowling alley and the restaurants. Think the CSC at Batok is nicer, there's a billards room and a much nicer pool.
CSC @ Tessensohn's pools is great anyway. The view of the sky is nice, no building blocking the sky while freestyling. And the water is not salty, something I really appreciate.
