All the best for the exams! Study hard and smart!

Birthdays Galore

So it was the birthday celebrations of the Power of 3 in the club. Its just past Fush's birthday and now we're starting Sisi's birthday with Mac's following up closely behind. Of course, there's Zhenrong's 21st birthday on Wednesday too. Too many birthdays man. Well, Happy Birthday everyone!

The Power of 3 (or is it the 3 in power?)

Poor cake was under attack by the fencers. A really delicious cake. Yum.

All looking so pleased with their presents.

So some of us crashed Zhenrong's party. Thanks to the great navigating powers of Pam, 3 cars pulled up on the driveway and we marched up into the house shouting "Happy Birthday!" A bit obnoxious I might add. But well, we were led by Fush and CY, what more do I have to add?

The fishes were a tad freaky cos they were facing the same direction, for quite a while. I wonder what fascinated them so much.

The invited, the uninvited and the birthday boy.

Hang In There

Hang in there!

With all your mental strength as a fencer. Hang in there. Fight your best, endure on. The light at the end of the tunnel is clear. It might not be very bright at the moment but you can see it. Just a little bit more, and you would have fought an enduring battle. Make it one of your best battles. Emerge victorious.

Hang in there. I know you guys are really tired being swamped with project deadlines and preparations for the impending final exam. But you're reaching the end of this hurdle. During this period, please do take good care of your health at the same time. Found this quote by Henry Ford which I felt rather apt for this entry. Thought it'll be nice to share:

"Unless you have courage, a courage that keeps you going, always going, no matter what happens, there is no certainty of success. It is really an endurance race.

For that, my friends, I hope you receive courage from my moral support by the sidelines. I wish everyone the best.
