March's Post
Ok I've been delaying this post for way long. March has really been pretty busy hahaz.
Firstly gonna wish Shu Hui a Happy 18th Birthday =]
Well lets start with the more recent events first.
Fencing was on the menu for PE enrichment, so I decided to sign up for it since it was charged at a pretty decent fee of $20(after school subsidy)
So the day finally came yesterday and today where the enrichment finally took place.
Fencing is really pretty fun. The coach taught us Épeé fencing as it was the easiest to pick up in 2 days, compared to the other 2 types of fencing, namely the Sabre and the Foil.
Well the first day was mainly learning how to parry and some basic footwork, and not forgetting the rules for all 3 types of fencing, which I never really fully understood( mainly the right of way part in foil and sabre fencing ).
The second day was sparring time. We were split into 2 groups with equal number of males and females in each group( actually my group was short of one boy ). We were told to number of, and I was number 6. Coach then decided that the first person to spar would be no.7, and that was lucky ZP lol( that meant I was last lol ).
He lost lol. Oh well girls got 2 bonus points to start with so can't really blame him yeah?
Well I was last, the score in the opponents favour 68-70. Oh anyway how one round ends is when a team reaches a point which is a multiple of 5, while this number should be 5 more than the previous round.( So a round 1 ends when a team reaches 5points, round 2 ends when 10points reached, etc. )
ZP took a vid for me but not gonna post it since uploading it takes so long... In the end I manage to win with a final score of 76-75, after both me and my opponent scored a double point, 75-75. Ah anyway my opponent was a girl so yea I guessed it was easier in a way to win. It was fun ._. I missed and "stoned" a couple of times cause i thought I already landed a hit.
After that the 3 ex maris boys wanted to duel with their friend, who was a student from CJC taking lessons there who was also from maris. Ended up the 3 boys were defeated easily? lol
More pictures of fencing here
I finally got my new com set up, thanks to matt for helping me choosing the parts at Suntec IT fair last Sat.
So yay finally I can surf the web without using my phones wifi.( and sadly finish up my computing hw )
Went Night cycling with SJJ, ZP, LQ & Keith last sunday to monday morning. I think we cycled more than 46km, starting from East Coast Park Area C to Changi Beach to Changi Village to Pasir Ris Park to some link missed the Bedok link, taking a flyover or sorts to get back to East Coast Park at around 6am.
More pictures here
We stopped for prata at Changi Village, and man their prata was way good. Great experience and worth doing it again. Next time no more taking the path beside camp camelot. Total darkness is really really frightening lol.
Oh yea I was a member of the band L6A which took part in THE ONE competition lol( Now it's L6D ).
Practise for the competition was really heavy on school work, or else it was pretty enjoying, except when the band decided to play a new song a day before the auditions. I played a minor role in the band, playing the keyboard( property of NYJC choir ). Ok so I had no exact score or anything which made things really challenging? Just 5 minutes before the tryouts clarence and I were transposing the keyboard part for sins, not really a good sign huh lol.
 Picture taken after the competition ended. Thanks to our manager Chun Leong, for wasting so much time guiding us, the SC for helping us set up such a wonderful night and lastly 0830 for wasting ur money and time to listen to us play!!
