i finally went for fencing lessons. i think i have told most of you pple before that i was crazy over fencing last year and i wanted to go to rj super badly coz i wanted to fence. it was a painful decision to give up rj for hci. it was excruciating i tell you. it was so bad that i had insomnia.
anyway, i went for fencing lessons yesterday and today. fencing isn't as great as i thought it would be, but i still think it's a cool sport.
yesterday wasn't very good i suppose. i wasn't very keen on going for fencing coz i knew i was going to be super sian. i thought that huiwen would be with juli and abandon me, but i guess i was thinking too much, huiwen and juli rock! i feel so happy to be their friend. haha. but i really regret not reminding anna, zhouhao and kevin to sign up for fencing in time. if not it would have been so much more fun! met kityeng's primary school classmate there, timothy. his voice is super high, just like a girl. it's hard to believe that he is some super pro wushu guy. but he ponned today coz he overslept. and there was this other guy who didn't come also. these pple should have gave up their places to others!! argh!
anyway, i managed to make some new friends today so it wasn't all that bad. people kinda opened up and it was cool. i met dianmin (daryl's pri school classmate) and mong (bean and daryl's sec school classmate). this world is really small. haha. hobbit was there also! found out that his name is actually david and he is a super nice and cute guy.
today was slack slack slack i tell you. REALLY slack. went there, did some practises, then we had a 45 min free and easy so that you can practise any move you like, but most of us ended up just sitting down and slacking. then following that was a one hour lunch break. haha. SLACK. after lunch, we started to do foil duelling. my partner was dian min. i was leading at first, but i kinda lost my round by one point in the end. wasted. super wasted. then when i did epee with rachel, i won 5-2. =D perhaps, i am better at epee. spent most of our time watching my other team members fence and stuffing myself with unhealthy snacks at the same time. the instructor gave us this box that was filled with kitkat, snickers, assorted biscuits, disgestives, different flavoured potato chips. so we just munched and watched at the same time. then after one round of duelling, it was break time. haha. we had hamjingpeng and sparkling juice. XP then the rest of the time we just tried epee; it was optional, so some pple just slacked and sat there. haha.
juli's pri school classmate tan wen was also at fencing. he is one funny(in a bad way) person. juli despises him like mad. but seriously la, his stance is DAMN COMICAL! hahaha, he looks like he's singing some beijing opera or something and he thinks it's the correct stance! hahahaha. but frankly speaking, he's a good fencer. when he duelled with the instructor, he only lost 7-10. the instructor said he is a talented epee fencer. i agree. haha.
actually, after my 2 days fencing, i realised that you don't even need to know the basic fencing moves to fence. during my fencing duels today, i didn't even use any of the moves i learnt yesterday. all i did was just lunge forward and poke my opponent with the sword. haha.
there's paintball tomorrow and i know of 3 other fencing pple who are also doing it tmr. haha.
