Looks like I'm not taking part in the Epee event tomorrow.... As I said before, I guess at the end of the day I still prefer foil to epee.. Why, I'm not that sure, but I feel more comfortable with it... Not that foil is easier... It takes longer to learn... sighz... and I guess if I abandon epee I can watch my hopes of winning anything while in VJ take a nosedive... But thats the reason Coach wanted to start us on Epee and not foil anyway.

Last night Candice told me to blog about something happy.. I thought about it and the next morning (this morning) the answer dropped into my lap. As I got into the car, the cat was sleeping on top as usual... n my father was yelling at it to get off. In the end he triggered the windscreen spray. Unfortunately I was still outside. 'Nuff said... hehe... Lucky my TYS was behind my file...

Just had my dinner after sleeping for an hour... First time I had the luxury of sleeping peacefully for the first time in a long while. The more I sleep the faster I will recuperate... My right side is slightly swollen after tangling with Joseph on wednesday night (I was trying to do stophit-exclusion and got whacked AND thrashed for my pains.. heh).

Sleep

Is such an important part of a student's life (in this case, in the lives of a trio of ex-TKGS girls...) . Without it nothing else functions, really... Oh yea, I also managed to get another nice bit of sleep before Bio lect on this same place. It was great! I even managed to have a short dream (at least I didn't talk in my sleep then.. that would have been darn embarrassing).

Just 2 more weeks! Then I'll be able to rest on weekends again AS WELL AS TO GO TO CHURCH! Its a pain in the neck that foil is always on sundays (its also the greatest reason I have to stick to epee, in the epee-vs-foil decision).

Alright, anyway a lot of things have happened since my last ranting and raving. Firstly *takes a deep breath* my mother has found my blog =) which means subsequently my father probably will too.

On Monday, we went to roam around the Students' Lounge. With the soccer table and the pool table being swamped by various groups of guys, and no one particularly wanting to play darts, it left us back with the old standby..

BRIDGE. Especially since we can play bridge legally there... wahaha. Anyway just look at this hand. 50% chance of being picked as someone's partner and I don't even have a single picture card... haiyo. Anyway for the record I lost all my games that day...My cards were angry at me for letting them be caught in the rain.... sigh..

Wednesday was this Fab Week thingy. After much consideration I forced myself to go for self-awareness (for which I didn't want to, being the only one in the class to go for that course), while others got cool stuff like Self-Defence and Kick-Boxing etc. It was not too bad... The talk was given by this Gregory Burns, a Paralympian

Part of the presentation. Showing us the various events in the Para-Olympics. Look carefully and notice that the picture on the top right of the screen is that of two wheelchair-bound fencers. Their bladework must be really quick! The talk was ok... it was like those Dr. Willian Tan kinda talks... Supposed to inspire you and all that...

During the next break, those that had gone for Personal Massage were honing their skills at "our" stage in the concourse

Gerry experimenting on Trina... waha... The whole stage looked like a massage parlour.. heh...

Thursday was D-day minus 1 for many a Year 1. I can remember we spent ours in Marche last year on the 28th of Feb, Sunday. Sitting opposite Cine on that little stage talking and praying. I can remember (I don't know why), that Gerry, Dawn and Vibha were sitting on my left. I also have a vivid image on myself kneeling on the stage shaking hands with and wishing ChuaH "all the best" who was standing on the ground.

The D-Day minus 1 for us this year was more of a JTS, with 06S40 bringing us to Pizza Hut in Suntec n eating... Haha... my table was very entertaining (although we remained civilised). Christopher and Wenhui can be super suan when they want to be... haha... ok actually, so can the rest of us... Its was very fun! With talking n laughing n zong ji mi ma-ing... heng I didn't have to drink enjie's concoction.

Fireworks above Suntec after the dinner.. so pretty.. haha... thats Christl and Alon in the foreground..

We walked around the fountain, talked, talked, talked... Not unlike last year...

Which brings us back to friday... After spending 3 periods watching Gattacca, we broke out the 06S40 class list and using loudspeaker called whoever we could... 'Nuff said... Dr Boon talks darn long... Haha the junior AHS batch did quite well lei!!

Anyway that sort of sums up the week... U20's over the next two weekends! Oh yes, some pictures of Novices Prize Presentation, given by Sean-Paul

VJ's Epee Team silver (I'm short...arghH!)
