Dropped by open house on Saturday to take a look around... It was quite awkward walking into the school... The noisy student councilors who had been cheerily greeting all aspiring Victorians would just turn silent and one or two whispered "Is he from VJ?" as I walked past... Excuse me... the yellow fencing shirt which says "VJC"?? tsktsk... ignoramusus heheh... Except for one nice girl who said "good morning" and got a similar reply... Don't treat me like an alien can already.

Danced "I want you" in the gathering haze at Jingyi's prompting, then scarpered to the fencing booth which was tucked away in the corner of the hall... The "fencing is dangerous" policy had been applied once again, mores the pity...

Zhong qi and I managed to gather a small crowd by training close quarters in front of the stage... He was doing parry 6- riposte 7 and I was doing a simple close 4... But he's improved somewhat after starting private lessons heheh... We also did a short demo match with plastic blades (I'd only brought my glove with me). Atikah meanwhile managed to attract some girls by telling them that Coach had taught THE Jonathan Leong (Whom we also know as an ex-national fencer and Under-18 Foil Champion) last time haha...

We just talked on and on about fencing to whoever would listen... The sheer number of things you must learn and think of as you fence is one of the things that make it very very cool... You can't just do it by instinct (although you do need muscle memory), but you must really think on your feet... By the time the encounter ends and you can retreat back to where your coach can talk to you, it could well be too late! So a number of the sec. 4s really expressed interest in joining which is good I guess!! Hopefully the school will be more supportive now!

Jun Rong popped by and I intro-ed him to the juniors... Congratulated us on a fruitful year and we traded "All-the-best-for-your-As / All-the-best-for-your-NS [Don't walk into the intake of an F16]" before he left to find his class... Actually saw quite a number of year 3s there... The ex-house captains and such... Of our class I only saw Christl and Dory for a grand total of maybe 12 seconds?

Also met the first aiders manning the booth, and some of my SJ juniors in sec. 4... Hmm pushed off at about 12.30.

As I walked past the House comm members at the zebra crossing one of them yelled "ByE! See you next year!" whereupon I replied "I'm year 2. I hope not." before I could stop myself =Pp Seriously! Do I really look like a Sec. 4?! And what's with the general school population that they cannot recognize our CCA shirt... We should draw our own three stripes to look more professional haha...

Well, that's that for now... Have quite a lot of topics which I want to talk about, but not much time to do it....

Oh by the way, has anyone done the HCI phy paper, and if so, do you find it easy?

I have 2 pairs of shoes. Of my four shoes, three of them have holes and the last one has a worn sole -_-"'
