Yes yes, I am aware that Cynthia and Sarah also won stuff in the Novices... The difference being that they were epeeists from the start though... Please identify yourself when you tag though.... Tagging in annonymity is kinda freaky for me.

We announced the results to the school today... Maurice was with me making me look short... heheh... n Mrs Chan shook his hand too... Tiring day though, especially since we also had PE. Just running that 1.6 km at a marginal pace made me feel sick. Think next time I should eat my breakfast first... I'm definitely out of shape... Possibly the only part of my body still in working order is my right arm and right leg... Spent the lectures today drifting in and out of consciousness...

A few random thoughts about Novices... some meaningless and some worth thinking about.

1. The bout with Omar... How did I describe it... Although I was trailing my 6-1, I didn't write off my hopes completely, or switch off as I'd feared, like bouts against Wei Yang or Zi Xian in U17.... Hmm I don't know whether it was complacency or something good... But oh well..

2. Between Ngee Ann Poly and NUS, the entrie Saturday Morning foil group got wiped out in the same round. i.e. Me, Jonathan Tay, Matt Lopez, Michael, Kevin and Nicklaus... Grrr... ok that was random...

3. Next time I will spare the energy to break my fall with my hand rather than let myself fall like a paratrooper (landing on my side and back and rolling to lose momentum).

4. Having people support you does make a difference. Its much harder to give up when there are people rooting for you.

Ok shall prepare for Novices Team this saturday... Ahh, please let my blade survive...

One last random comment: I got assaulted by another creepy crawlie.

Look, I'm happy that cats like to jump out n rub themselves against me, but this is already the THIRD TIME a creature with more than 4 legs has decided that my arms or shoulders were good places to jump on.

Long and the short of it was that when Liling and I were at the Maths Resource Room looking for Stella who was doing Bio (In the Maths resource room, no less... I've seen the Maths resource room used for a lot of things, but not maths) a cockroach (again!) decided to take a flying leap onto my arm. Naturally, the two of us made a series of sharp loud noises...

Alright, thats it for now then....
