Waha.
Grégoire Moulin contre l'humanité.I finally found the name for the movie! This is a must watch movie next up on my list :D
Hahaha,how's life everyone?
National Trials were just over the last week. It was a very fun experience I admit,Coach said I fenced well for the Cadet Trials. Not sure if he was just saying that out of encouragement,but nonetheless it was nice of him to say so :D
And the following Wednesday I grazed/scraped my knee. Again! Hahaha. Times like this make you appreciate having uninjured knees very much. I'll pray for a speedy recovery :D
God has been as good as ever!
God bless (:

National Trials.
Hello world!
After looking at several videos of the Beijing Olympics 2008 Epee matches,I suddenly feel extremely motivated to do well in fencing. Not that I haven't been,its just that suddenly I feel a fresh sense of confidence that I can actually fence a lot better than what I'm achieving now,but simply because I've never been properly confident in myself.
So so,this year I'm really really going to train very hard! And have a healthier diet. Away from junk! Hahaha. Okay,away from junk 95% of the time. I'm going to build up on strength and fencing smarts. Most importantly,work on my confidence because I can do it. All it takes is time and hard work.
Example,I feel particularly good about CNY this year because I work out before/during my visitations. Haven't put on any weight at all.Majority spent on swimming and doing weights.Tomorrow before one on one I'll die die make sure I do 100 skips with the skipping rope.
National Trials this weekend. For me,its both Junior and Cadet Trials. I admit I'm nervous. Especially since there's no poules and that it's going to be direct eliminations straight away. You die,you die. You wouldn't really know where you rank.God please please help me pull through at least 3 bouts!I don't want to die at the first bout. Hahaha.
God,please let me get into the Singapore National Team by 2012.
God bless!

And thats life.
Hello world!
I have managed to pin up all of my short hair with about 8 pins. Comfy,a nice for studying.Heh.
And I was just thinking today about several rather deep issues.
For today,I kind of observed life in school. From my perspective at least. And I well,today I honestly and truly felt lonely in school.
Today I felt the painful side of being in a girls school. Not that I experienced it today,but even as I observed others and recall my previous years in St Margarets,I can honestly say that girls are rather difficult to get along with sometimes. Yes,girls can be lovely.But at the same time,I can find girls the most poisonous and despicable creatures on earth.I know I'm a girl as well,and I'm not excluding myself from it. However,there are certain girls on earth that aren't like that.Where are they?
I'd really rather get caught in a fistfight with boys than get gossiped and backstabbed about by a girl.Most of the time,girls are merciless with their words when it comes to gossip.I experienced that in secondary 2 and I can say that it was the most crushing and shattering experience of 2008.
From that experience sometimes I really don't know who I can trust at times.Girls are strange,they love you this day and they hate you wholeheartedly the next.Some are shallow,some are hollow.But of course not all girls are like that.I'm not perfect,and I do believe that I'm not better than the rest of the girls I know.And of course,I pray that I'll become better and better as the days go by.
But well girls,do strive to become people of SUBSTANCE.People with character,people that KNOW whats right and wrong,what's stupid and what's intelligent.People who know who they are and truly put up a good fight in life.People who know how to control themselves,people that know how to deal with failure and not go all moody because of a setback.People who aren't pushed about simply by what others do.
For those girls who are truly genuine from their hearts deep down,I thank you.
We need more girls like that on earth.No offense of course,just voicing out some thoughts in my heart.
God bless!

Fresh Resolution.
Hello world!
Of course I'll see where God wants me,but at the moment I do have my few targets.
Art - A1
English - A2/B3
Chinese - A2/B3
Math - B3
Humanities - A2/B3
POA - A2
Combined Sciences - A2
Not turning out well this year so far,but by God's grace I will overcome!Secondary 4 life just gets tougher and tougher,and I want to excel at it with all of my ability. Definitely will cut down much on my slacking time this year.
And external targets:
FENCING:
- Get much much more built (enough to fence and compete in strength and also enough to not scare off people)
- Self Confidence!
- Hopefully able plan a way of saving up enough for one on one sessions with
coach more often.
- National Team by 2012 (I really really really hope. Unless of course,God doesn't want me there.)
And in my Christian life,a definite stronger walk with God,and to remember him more this year and to be much more aware of his presence in my life :D
If above all these I would want to excel in,I want it to be in becoming a good servant for Christ.
God bless!

A refereeing weekend.
Hello world!
Hannah thank you ever so much for praying for me on Sunday morning before my refereeing shift began. And I honestly believe that thanks to that,I had an absolutely lovely day refereeing at Novices. Beats refereeing on Saturday much better! :D
And yes,yesterday was very very very very fun. I didn't mess up! For my third time refereeing and being a Cat D referee,I thought I did fairly alright yesterday.Thank God. Good Job Epeeist and Foilist so far! Not a easy fight this year,but you guys fair rather well.All the best for team event! :D
Refereeing once more for team event. I think I may need guidance or advice on that,I haven't refereed a team event before.
God bless!
