(:

hey! i really shouldnt be blogging considering i still have gp and pw waiting for me but i've neglected my blog for long enough!

anyway lets start with fencing camp! last friday-sunday. haha at first i thought it was going to be damn long but i realised that as any other camp, it ended just as i was having more fun. so my group was GROUP 2 (we insisted we liked the name alot and yes we do!) consisting of yanlong, dennis, lorraine, sarah tai, arnold, henry, bernard, jebez and me! and our group leaders were sichen, zhangfan and jinghan! i was quite happy when i saw that i had yanlong dennis and lorraine in my group cos they are all quite fun! :D yeah so i spent the beginning of day 1 in the company of 6 guys -.-" cos lorraine and sarah were MIA. and they were damn funny cos for some reason they thought i was scared of them. i wasnt la it was just quite weird but they were nice to me! (: yup so we had icebreakers then dinner which was supposed to be rice with 3 types of vegetables but they went to get chicken and fish in the end. haha. and after dinner we had war games so we were split into 2 teams instead of our original groups but it was like 2 groups combined to form one team and 3 combined to form the other! yeah and the game made sure that there was plenty of interaction between the guys and the girls. haha. it was fun la! minus some parts of it but all in all i think our team worked well! and yanlong and dennis were amusing. at first yanlong said guys were too vain to tuck their shirts into their shorts properly but in the end his shirt was tucked in! good boy :D and dennis was damn happy to be caught in a group fight haha nothing better to do so everytime he'll come and fight while i run away >< yep then we had washup and lights out!

day 2 was fun too! we started the day with pt which wasnt fun it was super tiring! and we saw the ruggers and soccer players training. i admire them for their willingness to train so early in the morning! anyway we had breakfast after that! and then station games. haha quite retarded la the games. we had like this slide on soapy table game, some group singing thing, caterpillar, jump to eat the grapes, push up station, munchkin land and this disgusting blender thing ): thennn we had lunch! and a second war game after that. it was some march of the penguin game, so we had to line chairs up in the row and go around the dustbin somewhere across the amphi before going back to the start line.. and i fell off the chair quite a few times but thank you yanlong and lorraine for saving me all the time :D had intergroup captain's ball after that! it was damn fun haha the first time i played capts ball properly in rj! and my group did well if im not wrong we won YAY! but yeah i had a good time working with my group! the j1s played against the j2s in the end and we ended up with a tie 6-6. everyone's a winner! hahah. so we went out for dinner as a group after that and to grocery shop at the same time. haha we dabaoed and came back after buying stuff from ntuc i think the cashier thought we were weird! went into the AVT after eating and they played 3 horror movies, none of which i watched. haha spent most of the time talking, sleeping and covering my face and ears. lorraine and i were the last to go on the nightwalk and we were super scared haha. in the end we had many escorts but the monsters managed to frighten us anyway. -.-" was quite glad when it was over but it was sweet of dennis and arnold to wait for us somewhere along the route (: yanlong zhenggang and yuanzi left after nightwalk cos they had nat trials on sunday..

we got to wake up late on sunday cos of the late night. then we had breakfast before going on the dirty food trail. they just splashed stuff at us la hahha but at least we got to clean up after that. yup so we helped to clear the various areas we used, my group was in charge of the indoor sports hall. then had debrief before breaking camp! met my parents and went for lunch together! :D spent the rest of the day with my family..

monday to wednesday was interschools! (: i think i didnt fence too badly during the competitions but much can be done to improve and there are certain things that i could have done better! nvm there's still nat juniors and cadets. as for our team event, it didnt turn out as expected but i believe we're much more inspired to train harder after that! interschools was also a good time for bonding among the fencers, especially the people who went down for the competition and we had fun playing and supporting each other! hopefully we'll get to represent the school in interschools again next yr, im sure we'll do much better! (: OH and the foil and epee boys did really really well! okay so did the sabre boys and epee girls so.. GOOD JOB ZHENGGANG YANLONG YUANZI AND JUNHAO im super proud of you! im proud of JINGHAN JIAHUA (even though you scared me) AND WENHAO too! not to forget ruth sophie balps choonwing! :D and thankyou to everyone who was concerned abt my tired state haha i know it isnt usually seen, i should recover soon enough!

thursday was quite a.. i've no idea how to describe it and i'd rather not. hopefully things will return to normal and i dont think anyone's to blame for what happened. after experiencing this we're definitely gonna be affected but like ashvin said, its cliche but forgive and forget. we'll move on and grow stronger. some things may feel different but most havent changed. i still love you all as much as i did before (: so may monday bring a fresh new start for all of us!

since this is still the middle of my mugger weekend, im going back to mugger mode which isnt really aucceeding but im on my way. pw and gp here i come!

goodnight and have a great week ahead everyone! :D
