Hello people!

The week has been pretty okay I guess,but the weekend really created a awesome BOMB.It was fencing and fencing and more fencing.One of the most fun weekends EVER.

Shall upload the pictures next time,but let me tell ya about the ultimate National Trials experience(:

I had and went through a lot of things in there.Friends,pain,INJURIES,support,fun and laughter.The most memorable part was beating a national fencer(just by a point,but I'm happy enough xD),and AFTER ZILLIONS OF YEARS,finally getting into the quarter finals and winning a round of DE.I never actually thought it would be humanely possible that I'd see a whole 15 on my side of the bout before.Haha.

On the bout that I won the girl jabbed me REAL hard on the same spot for at least 3 times in a row,on the highest point of my chest which is like 2cm away from the neck.That part is one of the most painful spots and totally not protected by the chest guard,so you can imagine how painful it was.Fine you can't.If ya wanna try contact me anytime(:

So no doubt I had a bruise. It's a pretty big bruise,about 2x1cm is visible but the pain stretches from the middle of my chest till it reaches my right arm.Super pain can.It's a little swollen with a hint of red.Everyone keeps asking me 'Aye you got protection what,why still injured?' and for the final few times the suit is just there to make sure you don't die.Haha.Injuries not a guarantee not have.Heh heh.

I had a few silly experiences too.One time I was fencing a girl in the DE bouts of 15 points and I hit into a table which sounded the buzz.And instead of turning to the Referee or my opponent for apologizing I turned to the table and apologized to it instead,and I have absolutely no idea why on earth I did that.The referee laughed at me.

Speaking of awesome referees,there's one referee I really like,which is the old China coach.He's mega tall and he can fence.He talks with me a lot,be it signing my name after bout,testing blade before bout,waiting for DE match to start,or calling me to fence.He pats my head too.Like I'm his granddaughter.So I call him 'The awesome grandpa referee'!!He's really awesome lah.

I met another nice lady,I suppose one of the trainers for Jerene.Because I won Jerene by a little bit in the first DE bout,I was made to fence the 1st in ranking.I felt like a midget next to her can.One look and I could tell immediately why she ranked 1st.She's tall.VERY VERY TALL.I reckon about 1.78 and above.And LEFT HANDER.And she has like loads of advantage cos she can see my arm super easily from her height.So when I fenced her it was even easier to tell why she ranked 1st.She ain't JUST tall,she's strong and fast too.I'm short,not so strong and not so fast.

Then the nice lady came to give me a lil message before the bout started,and she was like:

'Don't think of her as the first ranking.Think of it as you two are on the same level,then mentally you're on par with her,and it won't be so bad anymore.'

And she praised me to the Awesome Grandpa Referee,it was a great sense of encouragement.It doesn't hide the fact that I still lost,but it meant a lot.Like really(:

And of course thanks to Nicole,Jeanice,Pamela,and Jue Hui for being there to watch me on the first day!Especially Nicole whom risked a scolding,sacrificed lunch and made me a BANNER(OMW thanks lah) just to be there and watch me.I owe you one,like really!No one,I repeat,ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has EVER EVER made me a banner.

I thank my almighty fencing team for wishing me of course,I was touched at all the messages you guys sent me that provided me loads of support.Knowing that you guys will support me till the end,that you guys will be behind me and cheering me on,I was really touched.Telling me to be brave and not be scared because you guys will always be cheering me on in your hearts really gave me the motivation.All your best wishes on your blogs and even facebook!Thanks so much,I owe you guys one.LOVE YA!

Thanks to my church people too for praying for me and wishing me all the best,and asking how I did,and rejoiced with me when I had good news(: Thanks guys.

School tomorrow.I think I'm going to limp there because my legs are numb.Especially since I tried a little new way of footwork.Haha.GOD,THANK YOU THE MOST FOR BEING THERE TO WATCH ME FOR 24/7,EVEN FENCING WITH ME ON THE PISTE ITSELF.PRAISE YOU!!!(:

God bless ya!
