Champion!

Wohoo! I'm back from competitions! And the good news is.....our team got gold! Yes! I'm so happy happy lol. Especially the anchor bout with Nelicia. Actually our team had a lead which narrowed and got overtaken before catching up with them again, so I had a 2 or 3 point lead when I fenced Nelicia. I admit I was nervous, but taking deep breaths does help, although I stupidly lost 2 points coz I lowered my blade. This is also the first time smth else happened: I shouted. But I doubt anyone heard coz Nelicia's screaming definitely covered mine. It feels damn good actually..I never knew that haha. When the score drew to a nail-biting 44-44, I did feel panic before the 'allez', but it was only for a fleeting second before I got the last point. We won! It's like a release and an explosion of happy feelings and disbelief that you won. Eve and Ras came and hugged me followed by the 'little girls' (our juniors hehe). But we couldn't have won without the team effort and encouragement we gave each other, and I must say a big 'thank you!' to Eve and Ras! We earned it yeah!


My indiv wasn't that good though..lost to Nelicia in semi 15-11. Was stoning the first part when she got 7-0. That was the mistake I guess..nvm that wun happen again the next time we meet in competititons. Anyway, congrats to those who won in indiv or in team! To those who didn't do as well as expected, dun give up! There's always a next time! And to those fencing Cadet next week, good luck!

Ok now that competitions are over, I guess it's time to settle down and immerse myself in notes and books. I haven't really sit myself down and revise for JCTs since the start of the holidays =P The clock is ticking..the sand is running. I think I'll be lucky enough to pass haha. Oops can't think that way. Ok gambete! Hello mugger Lyn! Think I wun be blogging for some time now..time to afk haha.
