Advent of FSI

Well..it's a day before FSI team event for me. Not that I'm scared, just a little excited since there might be a chance of being up against top Asian fencers. Good experience haha. I know..it's kinda near my prelims and I really should be gearing up for revision, not spending so much time on fencing anymore, but fencing has been like a part of my life ever since Sec1, and I dun think I've ever taken a very long break from it before. The longest was 3 months? (with occasional trainings I think..or not. Can't rmb) Asking me to stop is like taking food from a person...still can survive, but not for long haha. Ok not that serious. It's really good exercise, and a revenue for destressing. I'd love to go back once a week still just to free-fence after this FSI, but I doubt I'd have the time. Hmm...see how it goes.


Why does work always come in humongous truckloads whenever you have the least time to do it? It's like they know I wun be in school next Tue and Wed coz of FSI Jrs and they choose to knock on my door and say, "Hello! Please complete me by this and this date." Great. Now I'm personifying work. Too much Lit haha.


Walking really does one good. The other day after the long lectures in school, I took a relaxing walk in the park on my way back home, and I made a friend! Ok..2 actually, but one was more friendly than the other.


My good friend! Didn't think it was a cat right?



The Shy Friend


I realized that beauty is actually all around us. That sounds cliche, but it's true. Really..if you just stand still and look around you, you'll realize that there are so many beautiful things in life. And I realize that I'm really lucky actually? I've got my family, lots of good friends, a sturdy roof over my head, good food, material stuff even. Guess that walk sorta inspired me. Or rather, it brought out that part of me which laid buried under tons of work such that there wasn't really much time to appreciate life. Try it. Just take a walk at the park and dun think about work. Even 10 minutes will refresh you. Some other take-aways from the walk:



See the black streaks? Fishes at the longkang near my house...protecting their nests (circular shapes) I think?

And the longkang! Actually it does hold nice scenic views.. (In case u're wondering, it's not photoshop-ed. The daylight came out funny..like too bright.)


Some other random stuff.....

See..even a rainbow appears at the most mundane place. (Reflection from Junying's bottle..during GP so I had to take it quickly b4 Mdm Lim caught me with my phone haha.)


This is what crazy people with long hair do...like mother like daughter:



Anyway, I got a new pair of specs ytd! Kind of a classy look. Ok so random haha. Yesterday my bro was playing the PS2. You know that kinda wrestling games where they show your character and you can choose his pose while deciding his appearance..and yup, he was making this poor guy do funny things. (Sorry you gota watch it sideways coz I duno how to rotate it.)



Ok gota do lots of work now..duno if can complete them in time though. Hmm...just try my best. The current song playing now kept playing itself over and over again in my head ever since that time my bro let me listened to it. I knew that song, but after such a long time not listening to it, hearing it again is nice. Enjoy!

12 July morning was significant for me. Ask me if you want, but I may not tell you. Haha.
