Just came back from CCA walkabout... Not too bad.. over a hundred people signed up haha... but I wonder how many people will actually stay? Still, compared to our 60 in 2006, I guess its good... Oh then we were located opposite the guys' and girls' soccer booths which were supremely noisy heh...

Did a few demo bouts on this little piece of ground below PE dept which couldn't have been longer than two piste segments in FM.... Then whenever Maurice stretched out his hand I gleefully flicked it hahaha =Pp Man I wish I had carried this blade into A-division last year... But anyway now I've got my trophies, foil and sabre back... Plus my blue fencing bag.

Oh yar... did I mention it was very hot wearing 3 layers of stuff and walking around... and that there are so many girls this year (70% according to my juniors)... looks like VJ is turning into another AHS.... The small Y chromosome is becoming smaller.

Incidentally New Year's day was spent with a few of my classmates at ECP cycling (my household was generally too tired for Watchnight service plus getting caught in a one hour traffic jam to do any family activity). First time I've seen ECP so crowded.... Yea and all of us were quite lethargic too since we were all suffering from lack of sleep..

Anyway a few pictures from the past few days...

Orientation 2006 for St. John... It was quite good... This year the stretcher drill was nice to watch and rather cool too (so cool, in fact, that I forgot to take pictures... In any case my hands were covered with plasticine and all that stuff for casualty simulation anyway) haha... And surprisingly our drill is still not bad compared to other CCAs... Kudos to WLT for manouvering the contingent in the confined space ahaha... I remember suffocating myself trying to yell the commands quickly enough in '04

Jon Boon at Upper Pierce Reservoir during fencing camp, in the proverbial "cold grey light of dawn"... This is before we started getting sleepy, having slept for a maximum of 10 minutes the night before....

Ta-da.... The effects of a sleepless night... Only Jieshi, leaning on John (obviously asleep), was properly awake... Maurice (on the right) and ZhongQi (extreme left) were both trying to get me to stop my horrible singing which was keeping them awake ahaha... Jon Boon, leaning on Maurice and hidden in the picture, was semi-conscious listening to his handphone...

Two days later at bowling haha... It was quite funny to see all the pro fencers sending their balls into the gutter one after another =D. So above is Maurice, who was bowling for the first time (actually not to badly lar haha)

And Coach (who can hurl the ball like halfway down the alley before it touches the lane...)

Well shall stop for now then.

Anyway I'm left with one week and 16 hours before I'm due to enlist and I'm still stuck at 8 chin-ups max... Sighh...
