I guess it's time to step down? Oh all right, after all, the road has been a long and fruitful one with more achievements than we thought possible when we first joined the team.Currently,the bar has been raised and the Juniors can carry on what we started and bring it if possible, to new heights. We'll be back indefinitely maybe when we have free time. For Now, Adieu and Goodbye! Vivalafencing! - EY

And I've also heard about our fencing banner done?! haha,I still remember our 'sorta-failed-banner' last year I think,right MeiYi? haha,too cool.Thanks to the Sec3s for all the effort ! =D

So the leading person of boys' team would still be Faris,ending off with Spencer.Leading person of girls' team is QianLoong,ending off with myself.Our new warm-up running route will be around the school instead of around the corridor of the hall and the number of rounds is reduced to 2.

2009-03-16T23:22:00.000-07:00

Hey guys,ah Mei Yi asked me to help her check the price of bowling in Kallang Leisure Park so i emailed them and i have to say,start saving your pocket money. It will cost a bomb.As quoted from my inbox"For hourly charge is $30.00 per hour per lane and shoes rental is at $1.10 per pairs and sock at $1.50 per pairs."(*Edit*)About 4 persons per alley so altogether about $150 needed and everyone pays bout $9?)Do bring your own socks as they cost more than renting the shoes.Cheers.

Great job in updating the blog, Alena!

Congratulations to all fencers in completing Greendale's first Jogathon! Well done to all who have came in top 30! I'm proud of all of you, especially Faris (1st in upper sec boys'), Dorcas (2nd in lower sec girls'), Mei Yi, Alena, Hao Jun, Vanessa, Wei Heng, Ameerah, Sweeta, Alex. (Sorry if I have left out your name..let me know ok?)

While you're celebrating your achievement and receiving your awards, I certainly hope you have not forgotten your values and manners!

*** Hope you remember to shake hands and thank the prize presenter whenever you receive your awards and prizes!

Good values and manners are definitely more important than any achievements and success! As a good sportsman / sportswoman, please do remember to practise graciousness. A simple gesture of shaking hands with your competitors would be good. :)

Fencing!-Alena and Khairina advised to me make this post as the blog was getting stale.However i will add in another (important) note.1)Mei Yi (or is it Miss Mandy?? I'm confused.) plans to have a fencing camp in school. She says it will be fun to have the school to ourselves(And Build tents made out of foils and sabres??!). Oh and maybe a fencing outing. Maybe eat lunch and go ice-skating or watch movies or something. Two more unimportant notes to add humor. 2)Khairina hates ppl who win her 5-nil (*JOKE*NOT SERIOUSLY-so maybe if ure winning give her a point or something*JOKE*):) and Alena really,really hates push-ups. Ok end of random notes. Signing Off.
