Day 3… 15
th 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 13
th[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…
