Its 3.20am! What the heck am I doing up so late!

It all started with going fencing... And actually I was going to leave early but Coach (who safely got back from Germany) persuaded me to stay... Not bad I finished 2 out of 5 fencers after losing 15-5!! to Joo Chiao of all people, so I guess its not such a bad loss =)

Haha was quite shocked. I only lost one round robin to JC, and scored a freak 5-4 victory over Shawn yeeks. Am probably gonna visit NUS fencing on thursday and fence Jason heh.

Came back at 12 and have been typing up PBL and reading through anat since... But to accompany me I have a lovely Roger Whittaker CD from my father, and almost every song is one which I like! His songs are all those really beautiful and sad at the same time songs... Its not just the words, but also the lyrics =)

This is "The Last Farewell", his greatest hit:

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

CHORUS:
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell

Though death and darkness gather all about me
My ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return home safe again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale

-The Last Farewell, Roger Whittaker
