Sigh

Two weeks ago I thought I was in love

With the borrowed golden blade =D heheh what were you thinking? =Pp

Well, unfortunately the owner of the oh-so-well-balanced golden blade which I thoroughly enjoyed using swooped back from the UK and took it away. And my own is still not rewired *whine whine*... argH!! Should I trade in mine for a new grip? Hmmmm... anyway... yar today Coach lent me one belonging to another fencer... n this one, unfortunately has a heavy blade and light handle, a stunning contrast to my own (light blade, heavy handle, which is brilliant for flicks heh).... Oh yea there was point control but not as much as I would have liked....

Training was also quite tiring... Doing all conceivable sorts of compound parries not to mention intensive close quarter!! Have to adapt quickly in time for the July tournament... Sigh I really really hope we can do well!! I wonder how people can swipe their blades behind their back so quickly.... and fleche so fast... practise practise.... in soccer scoring from say, 20 - 30 meters is an achievement... in fencing, its scoring from 4 or 5.... And for certain vertically advantaged individuals, of course the range opens more.

Everyone's form has deproved since January cos now we can't afford to think of fencing everyday all the time like we used to.... After CT1 one realises that "hey there's a bigger world out there and being a good fencer is not going to get you into university or the workforce" (more's the pity)...

And if we meet a certain Pasir Ris Cres bugger who does NOT have to content with studying for CT2...

Well, to balance that out, our raw fencing skill has also improved since January.... just must see whether we're on form during the tournament lar...

NS Medical Checkup tomorrow... Heading down to CMPB with ChuaH... hope they don't find that I have some med. con. like diabetes or something... As certain people have said, "Ah, if the stick turns BLACK, then you should start worrying".... oh kayyy...

Also is Liling's string concert.... heading down with Enjie tml... First time attending a concert somewhere other than VJ... Hope I don't commit any unforgivable breach of concert etiquette and get myself booted out of the place... No doubt I shall be blogging about the above two activities in the next 72 hours also...

Well, ok I shall stop here... time to sleep goodnight!
