Got talked into staying back and fencing with a japanese fencer yesterday in FM, despite the fact that I'd only gone down to test my blades, buy an electric jacket, and was wearing formal pants (hardly appropriate fencing attire) while my opponent emerged wearing a shirt which said "Kansai Universities Championships".

The match was pretty fun but maybe I wasn't fencing as hard as I could cos I was trying to conserve the tip. Lost 5-3 (one close quarter, one stop hit, one disengage). My opponent was kinda interesting. He can flick against the natural bend of the blade! The first point was scored when he was advancing, I reached out to parry, then clickclickclick zzzzziiing two counterparries later my new lame was blooded for the first time. Didn't help that he was tall and left handed.

Still, it should be interesting for both of us to fence all out if we meet each other on Tuesday.

Being 20's not much different from being 19 heh. Just had a combined celebration with my sister and brother yesterday...
