This coming weekend will find Daniel, I and a bunch of fencers in Malaysia for the Selangor Open... So exciting... although the chances of us winning are about the same as a cell surviving the release of its lytic enzymes into its cytoplasm.

Anyway, Maurice won't be following us due to his SSEF thingy... we had this conversation on the way home from FM yesterday while in the bus

Maurice: Oh yar, bring back a souvenir for me
Me: Huh?
Maurice: Like a packet of bubble gum
*pause*
Me: Oh. I thought you wanted me to kop a Malaysian fencer's blade

Heh.. Actually that may not be very wise given the very real possibility of fake FIE blades in Malaysia.... But can you imagine being at an FIE wholesale... Apparently a BF blade comes at $90!!! Oh to live in England or America with reduced shipping costs... Haha.

Well... anyway sometimes I get a weird feeling look at my electric jacket n my foil in my room and wondering if I'll touch them again. For now I'm concentrating on epee.

Oh yes! I discovered the joys of flicking, curiously, not in foil but in epee, by virture of having a superbly flicky V-blade. Hope it doesn't break too soon. The flick counter-attack is postively devastating if doing right, but until I'm 100% percent accurate with it, its not reliable.

On the other hand when I fenced with Maurice yesterday all my points came from flicks or stop hits. Not from parries. But yea, I lost 15-12 or something. Must start thinking epee-ishly.

Ahh there are so many things to start thinking of.... Like studying really hard after CCA ends, and of NS (letters filter in occasionally, reminding me of an impending duty to Singapore, which I relish and which I dread depending on my present mood) and blahblah.... Like Primary 6, or Sec. 4, I occasionally get the blues of what it'll be like to living life outside my current circle of education, friends, etc. Really don't want JC to end. I wish I could experience JC for a period longer than 2 years... But oh well, there you have it.

And I'm also going to go running and standing-broad-jumping during the hols, so that I can pass NAPFA with something other than a silver. Breaking the 10 min 40 sec barrier for 2.4 would be nice, for instance.

Looks like I'm heading for Pes B, bring 2/3 to being legally blind, having scoliosis, slightly flat footed, childhood asthma, allergic conjunctivitis and rhinitis... heheh...

Ok, so this post is supremely random. I'll end off here now... cheerio!
