Am back from Selangor!

Was such a fun trip in general (a great break from mugging, though I did get in a bit of histo).

My competition itself was very screwy. My pool was... maybe a bit on the hard side... Contained a certain very tall Singaporean No. 1, a Selangor state fencer, a Thai national.... Thought I could beat the other Singaporean though. We were fencing until the score was 3-3 (he totally walked into my stop hits and my six-CQC moves), but then he won 5-3. Later I asked him how long he fenced and he said 8 years!!! My goodness... For an 3 year fencer I think my learning curve is still steeper...

Point to note though... The Thai guy also wasn't that good, but I think I was mentally drained after getting whacked by everyone else, so I didn't really fence my best... Coach said that I "wasn't my usual self"noting that I hadn't trained on the sharp edge for a very long time (NUS simply does not provide the competitive edge).

My juniors from VJ did very very well in my eyes... Will elaborate more later... But am proud of Jon Boon and Co. =)

Took the Aeroline bus back to Singapore at 11.30 pm. Haha first time travelling totally on my own (without anyone at all), even though it was just from Malaysia to Singapore... But the trip was kinda bad cos I was trapped with the person on my right and the person behind me snoring like a colicky GIT.

So I'm back here! Photos to come, meanwhile I shall go and sleep till 7.30...
