after fencing last night and getting home damn late... i woke up at 1215 today... that's the latest ever i woke up... damn...

today was spent looking at the uni courses that i wanna take which took up quite a lot of time...

more of selangor post on day 3

Day 3… 15th march

Marc’s alarm woke us up and we freshen up for the competition ahead… going down for breakfast gave me a shock to see the girls who overslept the day before down there the earliest…nothing much happened in breakfast and we packed up and left for the competition venue...

Mans epee was up first and when I was the polls, I was shocked; the person I don’t wanna fence from CJC is in my polls… AHHHHHH… that remained until the CJC people came [they were almost late] and somehow someone’s name was not in and they had to redo the polls, now I’m with Aaron... YAAAA… than somehow there is another redo and I’m with YC… great… in my polls was a Malaysia Nat fencer, jonna, YC, another Singapore fencer, one of the old guys who came down for FM open and me… its gonna be a tough fight… my first match was with jonna being the first time I fence him, I was kinda scared, but I think that day he was off form and I beat him, same for YC and the other sing fencer… next was the Malaysia Nat fencer whom I loss to 4-5 but it was a fun match… I do miss the screams Nat fencers give out when they loss points to no name fencers like me, this guy did scream like the Malaysia Nat fencer from last year… and old guy was last and I must say he put up a real fight, compared to FM open, he has improved quite a lot… back then he was an easy match, now it’s a little harder… but I made it through my polls with 4 wins and a loss…

The other polls went on as I waited for the results of the round robins to be posted, this was after all the male epee finish fencing, female foil and males sabre finish their round robins which I must say with only 7 strips, took a damn long time… when the results did come out, I was ranked no 13th[how lucky] and guess what, I by passed the round of 64= more waiting… in total, I waited form 10am++ to 3pm close to 4pm for my match with S.yeah…

Round of 32, the match that people say I sure win, which I really hate cause these kind of thing cannot confirm one… anyway, the match was the classic he attack and I reach out to take points off, many points were gotten this way, as well as some soul underhand and I must say, a failed execution which ended up with a nice kick in the air when I wanted to take a step forward, the point still got in but it was DAMN funny… in the end it was a 15-4 win for me going into the round of 16… watching my match, I felt that I was an asshole towards to end…. But what the hack, it was fun

Next match, round of 16 against GY from CJC, a match that I didn’t really like cause I sometimes cannot get his fencing style… but still must fight in this CJ-exCJ match… it was really close in the beginning until I got the lead and the gap widen to my victory at 15-12… GY was good, I must say, my soul underhand can’t really get him and the execution is unless and so is the overkill… I think in the end my reach killed him… oh whatever, it was a nice match and I enjoyed it… what I didn’t enjoy is the wait I had to have before the match, another hour long wait… all the time I was really hungry as I didn’t want to eat lunch, later to all comes back out in the match… so fighting hunger and sleepy-ness, I waited until GY’s name was called and I jumped for joy and got to the piss to see that it’s not him name, it just sounds like it and the announcer pronounced it like GY’s name… more waiting… during this period, the stuff that fought off the boredom was all the other FM fencers who were out of the competition joking around as well as the VJC people telling me that I can beat GY hands down… ah the pressure…

The round of 8 was against the top Malaysia Nat fencer Amir… aka. Sick flick… I dunno my mindset at the point in time but it was along the lines of have fun and survive… the FM fencers behind me cheering for Amir were not helping… but I must win their cheers over with my fencing which I did and got 12 points off him… yes I loss but it was a damn fun match and Amir is a very nice guy with great sportsmanship… at that point in time, the whole FM team was waiting for me and my match as I was the last person left in the competition and the bus waits for the last man before leaving for the hotel… after the match, and going back to the hotel, we had a big 2 match in the bus, when I deal the cards, Joseph got a good hand… this is what happened

Joseph: WA, such a hand, I loss ah, I chop off my balls
Everyone: you say one ah…
[Game start, marc won]
Me: Joseph, chop off your balls
Joseph: ha-ha, I don’t have balls


Right, and after than he never got the end of the no balls joke… we got back to the hotel, freshen up and went to some western cafe place for dinner just across the road from the hotel, that’s where the interesting talk with Edward and plans for the night starts… the gum gum gum joke kept us laughing on the way back and to the after hours events that I cannot talk about, group drinking in the room and thierry’s sick thought of using the taser… when some of them were a little high and going a little off the hook, we ended and went off for other stuff, after that’s done, supper[at 4am] and back to my room to see someone sleeping on my bed and Willie missing. In case Willie were to return at night from god knows what, I decided to sleep on the chair, it sounded like a good idea at first, but then the coldness of the room made me unable to sleep and the chair is a bad place the sleep on. So I went on the floor and slept with my long pants as blankets [bad idea again]. Than its hack Willie and sleep on his bed which was missing the pillow. The only reason I got to sleep was that I was so damn tired and couldn’t care anymore…

OMG... its the 100th post... i have never thought that this blog will grow so much and survive so long... and for the 100th post, i have my selangor open post about the stuff that happened there that can be said

I’m back from Malaysia with many stories that can’t be spoken and new experience that are priceless…

Day one… 13th march… [Friday the 13th]

After fencing on wed and Thursday, my fencing stuff was not really ready for packing the night before and thus I spent the morning packing for the trip that I will be going for the day itself… talk about last min packing… after that’s done, I had lunch and went down to Newton circle to meet up with the others.. But it was freaking raining… so I could not walk down to take the 167 there [saving me money] and I had to take 163 change to 162 to get to Newton circle… WA… Friday the 13th really bad luck leh…after reaching and waiting for everyone we got on the striking PINK bus off to the crossway

After entering Malaysia, it’s the boring bus ride to KL… along the way, I got to know my roommates Willie and Marc, VJC girls Annabelle, Celine and Sofia, Debbie, Thierry and the little kid better… the random talks we had in the bus raged from the pets we kept to strange stuff we seen and then to the otaku talk towards the end… Friday the 13 really hit in when the air con in the bus broke down on the high way and we were roasting for close to 1n hour and half before reaching the hotel… also I must add in that the bus driver went to the wrong hotel and we must waste some more time to get to the right hotel... after getting our keys and putting our stuff into our room [1402], we went down to wait for Joseph… everyone was down already and yet he is not there yet… I had to go up and get him down… it’s all Joseph’s fault

under boss Joseph and john, we went to eat Iran food which I enjoyed… after the VJC people left, Joseph and John had the idea of going down to china town to shop, am alright with it and so is Debbie, so we went back to the hotel to put our stuff like wallets and phones down so we are not robbed… on our way down, Marc joined us and we went down to china town via cab… to our horror, its closing down for the night… wth, we went down for nothing… so we decided to walk back to the hotel since it’s not that far away… asking directions from people we made our slow way back to the hotel going through a dark back road[ it’s all Joseph’s fault] and after 30mins of walking, we got back to the hotel… along the way, we were scared of being attacked... so i had this line," we are all well versed in armed combat, y should we be scared???" point to note, we were unarmed... haha

with Joseph and John having competition tomorrow, they went back to sleep while Marc and me went back into our room to find Willie and Thierry playing L4D… after bathing, we played a game of poker with chips that Willie brought from Singapore… after a few games, Marc was out of chips[cause I was winning] then Willie went all in, Thierry and I dunno what to do… follow or back out… in the end we play safe and back out… he did not have that good of a hand but he was playing on psycho to win… after a few more games, he went all in AGAIN… I decided to follow with him and his 12mill [chip money] bet… he had NOTHING and I won with an 8 pair… LOL… it was damn funny

that’s it for day one, the two guys plan to go out shopping the next day while I’m going down to support the CJC girls as well as the FM fencers

Day 2…14th march

Since when I slept, it’s already the 14th, I will talk about my sleep there… I can remember that someone was breathing really loudly[marc] and someone’s phone when off at 4am in the morning… and when my sleep was getting good, morning call came to wake me up [the other 2 not planning to wake up]… I got myself ready and when down for breakfast at 6am…coach said that it starts at 6, so there I was… and there I was alone for 15mins drinking tea waiting for others to arrive… breakfast was entertaining hearing Jiunn Chyau talking about their night and what an ass Joseph was… as I was done with my breakfast, I went up to get Irvin [little kid] down as he was competing that day… also I took my epee and body wire down to lent Megan as her spare blade… back down, coach saw me with my blade and went “Meng, you know you are competing tomorrow right?”this, and the same question that the AC people asked as well was the VJ girls… never see people lending spare blade before meh???

The trip to the competition venue was really long and I have given up on visiting my Jrs at their hotel there… the sight that hit me when I entered the sports hall was the sight of only 7 strips to fence on… THAT’S TOO DAMN LITTLE… and then there is the sea of blue in at the end that is so CJ...

Male foil was up first and I was roped in my Joseph to film the Joseph series and show the world his trip up to get the gold medal… his polls went well and its confirmed that he will make it into DE… so after it finished, at 10++ I went around cheering the other FM and CJC fencers fencing foil at the point in time… female epee soon started and I was roped in [again] to film Steph and Annabelle[same polls] with my cam… all this really made me wanna fence and can’t wait for the next day so that I can fence… this duty ended at close to 2pm, female epee matches can be so ever slow, and I could finally have my lunch… YAAAA… and also laugh at Joseph at Y he is not fencing yet… he,waited till 3 plus before he could fence in the round of 64… his ranking was 31 and he is fencing the 34th fencer… the match was not really that exciting but we all wanted him to win… cause if he did, than we can watch him fence[and lose] to the rank 2nd fencer…HAHA… also in females epee, the Li fang and Annabelle was a match that I wanna watch… to see another CJ-VJ match is always nice… it was close but CJC’s Li Fang won and went into the round of 16 to faced a Singapore Nat fencer which she loss 8-15… but to get 8 points off a Nat fencer is really good already

With that, all CJC girls were out of the competition, which was better than last year where we didn’t even made it pass first DE… now we were waiting for Joseph and his match with the Thai Nat fencer ranked 2nd… Joseph got beaten 8-15 and we can finally go back to the hotel for dinner and whatever shit planned out…

Dinner at some place with free flow bread… and all the crap about this name card we got about a shady place… nothing much[that can be said] happened the after dinner activities are much better…

The VJC girls came over to my room to scold the VJC guys for not going down to support them as well as take my laptop to watch anime … when we enter my room, the guys were sleeping already, and it’s not even 10pm… wth… so everything was fast and the girls got out before I went to bath… I’m not going to sleep at 10pm there and went over to the girl’s room to join them in watching anime… we were interrupted by the other guys we looked at me with those strange eyes asking what I was doing in the girl’s room… haha… after this happened a few more times, I went over to their room to play cards and mahjong as there were short of 1 person… after my 2 day mahjong course during CNY, this is the first time I played it with others… and I think I did quite well, winning abit towards the end… after Mattew didn’t want to play anymore, we went to play asshole big 2 with the others in the room[Sofia and Celine came over too so the group is quite big] till 1am where I went to sleep to get ready for the next day’s competition…

results are bad for me and i don't wanna talk about it...
Malaysia trip is 2 days away and i have found a long existing flaw in my fencing that has not really been fixed... now, i must spend tomorrow training my hand to get used to moving around to get this flaw fixed...

one thing i must ask the world is y must they always come in small packages, y must they come in overseas trips, y must they be so out of reach, y must i take notice of them... Y, kami, TELL ME Y... one is enough of a problem for me to handle mentally already, now you bring in another one...

i ask myself [AGAIN]y I'm like nothing in the eyes of others... because the things i see around me tell me this hard fact that i cannot help but ask again and again why it is so... is no matter what i do pointless in the eyes of others, or is it wrong to wish to be remembered??? i can still remember a talk i had about me "bullying" someone about her height, during that period of time, we had quite a good friendship, about after the talk and i was asked to stop what i was doing and i distanced myself from her, this friendship fell apart and in the end it became nothing... and guess what, i what i did was wrong in his eyes... GG...

looking back, i can trace alot of my pains back to him... i wonder... but i guess its more suited for another time, can't be too emo in one post...

on a different note, my jobless days have brought me to new boredom levels to make me draw this...

its quite an orginal work, not much reference other than the idea...haha

i will now say it, i have totally given up an writing on APMEC... i'm too damn lazy...

to note, i ended work on friday[27th feb] and now i'm jobless again... on to training for malaysia trip and NS...

today, biking trip with BHSS friends at east coast thats kinda a failure...

meet up at 1100 at TPY for lunch of subway which was kinda bad cause all three of us who ate not feeling well after that... we left the place at 1200-ish to thatb 31 to parkway there and walk to east coast... well, it was a normal trip until it started raining... under that shelter that we were to hide from the rain was a couple that all of us were damn angry at... what the hell is the good looking girl doing with this fu*k face guy??? while riding back we were all cursing... from this and a few other evidence we saw today, we have concluded that the world is very unfair... and that there is nothing we can do about it...

and for the first time biking, i got a sunburn... kinda, but now it don't look so bad already...
