I want to take back what I said about competing in FSI and wanting to get it done and over with. Seriously I regretted saying that. The whole week of competitions has been a blast. It really made me remember why I want to fence in the first place. I totally forgot how fun can fencing really be when you start to stand yourself against people from other countries, and you get that statisfaction of fencing a good bout even though you get trashed and owned by them. Plus event like these gives you a chance to meet and make new friends and also bring everyone closer together.
The national sabre team which consists of Ernest, Mark, Matt and I almost won the Qatar team in the semi finals. Guess who's their coach? It's mihai's coach himself!! Our grandmaster neuka coaching the qatar team haha, anyway it was kind of like a reunion between both coach and Neuka and he knows us too.
I think I forgot to mention that the Koreans are as crazy as how they fence. They were like damn hyper during the BBQ and it was really noisy with them around. Oh and I really love how they grill the food that night. They just pour everything over the grill and then spread them evenly.
At the last day of competition, everyone camwhored as the prize giving presentation commences and we had lots of fun taking pictures too. I took loads of pics. Have uploaded most of them on facebook. Will upload them here later in the morning. So for now I'm gonna go to bed...
NITES!!
