61 (six days)

About this time last week, I turned on my laptop.

And left it on for 116 hours- the time it took to complete my essay.

In the end, I had to send my phone for servicing coz the spacebar jammed.

I am a gentleman

Florence says I come alive

Only when I fence with guys.

60 (7 days)

Tasted the metal blade for the first time.

That was dumb.


Got trashed in every single match I fought at fencing today. 

Good to know where I really stand sometimes.

But man it sucks.


Dear Lord, give me humility to accept how much I suck, and perseverance to not give up.

Who are you?

I had to explain to mom

That <3 is actually a symbol for a heart.

(Just in case you needed the explanation too.)

59 (eight days)

Melanie was talking to me before the lecture test started.

To emphasise a point, she stuck out her pencil case towards me.

I instinctively pulled up my water bottle to make a parry.


I think we're almost ready for December's fencing competition.

You think?

58 (nine days)

I sat down in the library opposite a girl I've never spoken to before.

I pulled out a highlighter and scribbled down something on a piece of paper.


The moment she looked up at me, I held up the paper that read:

"Are you Faith?"

She nodded.

I flipped the paper around for her to see what was on the other side:

"I <3 wo(men)"

She laughed.

I signed off the paper and she took it with her when she left.

Just made a new friend last week.

Just made a new friend today.

It's the little things in life.


Oh and today's film lesson was on short films.

And I am so, so inspired.
