Everyone's been asking me about Selangor... In retrospect, it was a tournament which I was really ill-prepared for, and my fencing standard was one reverted back to my 2006 U-20's level. Or maybe worst...

What Freddy said about my foil attacks being too predictable became too true during Selangor, still lacking the final "burst". This is a trait I didn't know I was lacking, since I spent most of my three years fencing epee, in a VJ team where every guy (except Jon Boon) was taller than me, hence cultivating a style of "go fast, go hard and go closer". However, though a long lunge is still important, the final attack need not have the "burst", since I was usually using bladework and my first two intentions to chase the guy back, and distract him with, something which worked well even with Ken (and with Maurice on good days haha)

But for the one-hit-one-kill foilists, my attacks were easy to pick off. When I came close, my close quarters could still move faster than theirs, but I only came close once or twice.

Still, we live and learn. I've got to settle down into a regular rhythm of studying, fencing, as well as handball, hallplay etc for next year.

Hope I can find time to go down for A-division, though I think I'll be super stressed when I watch them fence haha...

Well, some photos to come (when I've time to look through properly), I don't want to upload too many and slow down the whole thing also... Physio!
