had novices team event just now. met ntu in the first round and won them 45-36, then met nus and lost to them 30-45 and got eliminated. but really, we've all tried our best (:
jingxun was of such great help, he came down specially just to watch us fence, and he was beside us all the while to give us tips and guidance. can't thank him enough (:
before my last bout against nus jingxun challenged us to try something daring, to attack really aggressively and just ran past the opponent if the attack failed. i did that and i won my bout 11-5.
my most memorable bout ever, and i guess it'll stay so for the time being cos there won't be many trainings left.
maybe cos jingxun's idea really worked, maybe cos i was fencing against this gal whom i shouldn't have lost to last week during individuals so i couldn't wait to take my revenge, maybe cos henry's scoldings right before the competition started somehow frustrated me.
i was so damn tired on the piste during that bout but i was telling myself to hang on, hang on. i guess during that 3 minutes i really pushed myself to the limit. after that bout ended i just collapsed on the floor and jingxun came to give me a hug and told me he was damn proud of me.
you know, sometimes i really wonder how people can achieve beyond their abilities when they are pushed and when they believe in themselves.
and me bernice and sichen never felt so bonded like today, and we are gonna continue taking part in other team events together in the future, even after we graduate (:
but there's one thing that really upsets me and that's you henry. the way you scolded me today and the things you said really hurt me, if you didn't realise. i hope your intention was good though. and you didn't stay to watch us fence either, when we really needed you to be there for us. but i won't forget the fact that you are my coach, the first person who introduced me to the world of fencing, and for that i'm grateful.
and bernice and sichen, i'm glad we've gone through so much together. can't love you less (:
