TODAY SUX AND ROCK AT THE SAME TIME....
today was the day for novices. i woke up at 6 in the morning to get myself ready to go to clementi by 9. i always wake up an hour early from the time i have to leave home if i have to go in the morning. woke up, have breakfast watch some anime before packing up and left home to take 138 to AMK mrt and take mrt to jourong east and change train to clementi. i though it will take me bout an hour and half at least to reach there....but in all only took me an hour.
go there slack off till 9 and put on my suit and get ready to fence in the round robins. BUT... my group is the last one... last one to start. so i went around watching the other cjc fencers fence. helped some of the guys abit but i think it wasn't usefull enough cause they all got kicked out.
my poule has 2 semi-pro fencers(i am one), one pro fencers and 3 weaker ones. my first match was againist the other semi-pro fencer... i was feeling damn lazy and cock up my first match........... lost 3-5 my next 3 matches are againist the weaker ones and i wanted to trash them to so i can get a good index...but sadly, i didn't do as well as i wanted and loss a few points to get the win. last match was againist the pro fencer... i lost 3-5 again. but at least i was 2nd place in my poule.[thanks fencer for pointing out my mistakes]
when the round robins results are out, i was ranked 24th with 3 wins and an index of +5. in the middle of the DE group. my first fight was againist the 41th fencer. i was hoping for a easy win but i got a win of 15-14 while was crap cause i know i can do so much better. but at least i won... as conpared to the under 17s competition last year, i lost in my first DE match. so that was my first achiviment for the day.
while waiting for my next match which was a tough one, i laid down with derick and talked about alot of thinks like evolution and disguesting things in the hot springs. i told him about the plates of earth moving on lava around the world and taught him hom evolution is carried out. he told me about how some worm thing living in hot springs can lay their eggs in your nose if you dive in the hot springs and cause infections and possible death. it was an hour of knowledge exchange between us as we somehow always have these kind of talks when we are talking. i told him that if a can win the next round, i will buy him a drink. and if i can win the one after that, i will buy him a KFC meal. with that, i went for my next match.
next up was to fence the 9th fencer. i got a nice win of 15-8 againist him and i felt very happy with myself to win another match and advance up to the top 16. i went to watch jason and kain fence and they both also made it into the top 16 with me. but i know that they will advance further than me because they are more skilled than me.
next up was this guy call alex who i was warned to be very good againist my type of fencing where i just stick out my hand and use my long range to score a point. he is taller than me and that took away my range advantage, and he locks my blade very well stopping me from attacking. in the end, i lost 10-15 to him. at least i put up a fight againist him.
i left after that match cursing at myself cause i made alot of stipid mistakes in that match. i went to have dinner with derick at Macs and wanted to get him that drink i promised. but he rejected my offer and we laughed it off and promised that we will return next year and go further. i went home via mrt and my mom fetched me at YCK mrt station.
today i did go further into the competition than the last one but i killed myself with all the stupid mistakes i made throughtout the whole event.
bit late now...think i will go sleep and get ready for school tomorrow.... and face that bunch of fucktarts again.... haiz...sad life...
