A month of injury for August, both mental and physical.

Well, I DID think it was slightly crazy to go for fencing so often, so I don't know what possessed me to go for 5 days in a row two weeks ago, which has now left me with a very strained thigh. Now can't lunge, and so cannot attack at all, which mean I'm restricted to reverse lunges and stop hits, neither of which work very well cos I have relatively short arms.

Man, yesterday I couldn't even score for than 6 points on each regular opponent =( Just a walking target yar? Once I had to grasp the wall for support cos Maurice pressed me so far back my leg wouldn't support me for balance.... And FM Open is this Sunday, Pesta Sukan is next Saturday! Well, if the leg isn't better than tml maybe I just won't go for FM open lar... save energy for Pesta Sukan...

Monday's session was very entertaining... Coach, who is always in a good mood, was in an extra good mood... kept telling us funny anecdotes and all... Told us about a "morse code" opponent who always blinked with a dot-dot-dot-dash pattern (The letter V? Why?) n he was like "So i would wait for the dot-dot-dot WHAM!" N we were laughing quite sadistically....

He suan-ed the VS guys for being too tall, suan-ed the 2 Jonathans (Chan and Boon) for being too short, blahblah... heh...

Yup... fenced with Aaron for the first time... tricky opponent and strong parries too... in the end I waited until he fleched, then locked his blade and went CQC... It was like "hey, this looks familiar" and let instinct take over....

I deleted my last entry cos I didn't think it was very edifying.... It was annoying me to think about it, and it would have annoyed Si Hui too if she had read it.... That sort of thing is as sensitive a subject as VS is now.... it was quite a weird feeling singing Victorian Anthem today given all the controversy over it....

I mean, if VS was to go co-ed, AHS would like, empty? Cos a lot of people want to go VS so that they can go VJ... typical Kiasu Singaporean... My tuition teacher also told me to go VS, which is why it was my first choice in my PSLE... only a last minute change at the second option made me put AHS and Cat. High. Happily, I fitted in well, n I have no regrets in choosing AHS... well, except for once or twice...

A song from my church that I remembered.... inadverdantly reminded of it by Li Ling and Charmaine at BK on wed....

This is your name
Your name forever
By which you are
To be remembered
From generation, to generation
This is your name, "I AM"

Jehovah Rohi, the Lord my Shepard
Jehovah Shammah, the Lord that is with me
Jehovah Jireh, the Lord my Provider
Jehovah Shalom, the Lord my Peace

Jehovah Nissi, the Lord my Banner
Jehovah Rophe, the Lord my Healer
Jehovah Tsikenu, the Lord my righteousness
You are my Lord, "I AM"
