Melancholic Rhetoric

Shooting on tuesday sucked.. I think it's the competition pressure.. Could feel it even though the competition haven't even started.. was on the verge of breaking down and withdrawing from the competition.. after some deep, tearful thinking by the steps of the multi-purpose field after training alone after the others went up.. Decided to stick on with the competition.. Wanna know why i still stuck with the competition..?? Ask me in person..


Shooting today was well as compared to tuesday.. Shot the 40cm face for a moment.. Went over to the 122 face to so call get a "moral booster".. But james and ashley chased me away.. LoL..!! They say i my standard was too high for the 122 face and that i was scaring the new student from SPDP, Esther, with my wicked groupings in the yellow... so went back to 40cm face.. so i shot.. Not as good as i thought it would be at first.. but then i managed to get a yellow or two.. or 4.. LoL..!! But then something had to change in my form to achieve that but guolong didn't want that happening.. so he asked me over to the 10m board to train my form.. well.. got my form back.. just some adjustments to my finger hook and my bow arm.. then i was grouping like crazy.. so shot like mad at the 10m board.. getting the groove of the new adjustment.. then went to had a late lunch with the gang.. at about 2pm like dat..


Went back to shooting.. still at the 10m board.. had to get the new adjustmet attuned to my form.. Then i went over to shoot my regular 10 ends of 3 at the 40cm board.. when i went there.. connie, lilian, rachel and christine were using the same board.. so i checked out my training buddy, christine's score list.. terrible i should say.. terrible i have to say and she knew it too.. there were so many misses.. tsk tsk.. and connie made a strange statement when i came.. "Oh.. triple ten come alrdy"... i was like "who's triple ten"... Then lilian and connie simultaneously said "YOU LAHH..!!".. LoL..!! I was shocked.. so many nicknames in archery sia.. Hyena lahh.. Hafiz-si lahh.. and now Triple Ten.. Gosh..!! My fellow year 1s really look up to me.. And christine thinks that i'm influential and has this aura coz when she shot with me.. she never missed..!! LoL..!! I got trueshot aura..!! hahhahahahaha..!! I know rachel and shravan look up to me... rather flattered but feeling quite uneasy about it.. My total score for 40cm face --> 196/300.. deproved by 1 point from my previous score of 197..!!! hahahhaha...!!! then connie, lilian and christine went over to the 122 face board.. Matthew, minghui and shravan came over to shoot.. I took a break and watched them shoot.. rachel's arm is just NC-16 blood and gore.. Disgusting.. LoL..!! after taking enough rest.. i got up to shoot.. And matthew asked how my shooting was.. And before i could answer.. rachel piped in.."U ask for his shooting..?!?! His shooting is like "OH MY GOD!!"...".... I was like -.-".. am i really that damn good..?!?! after shooting that end.. chatted with rachel and shravan.. asked them wat were their opinions and reactions if i were to withdraw from the competition.. Their answer was like if i were to withdraw then they too would follow suit.. coz if a person with my shooting cannot shoot then why bother for archers like them to shoot..?? understand..?? i was impressed.. they really look up to me.. But then again i feel uneasy about it.. guess i'm influential to my fellow archers.. rather flattered by their remark..


shooting was done.. unset field then went to clubhouse.. guolong, shwajuan and shimin had left earlier coz shimin had to visit this acupuncturist at clementi.. so it was down to me, de rong, christine and chinyan.. at the clubhouse.. de rong taught me and christine how to fix arrow points into shafts.. it was fun..!! Later de rong also gonna teach us how to fix the nocking point on the string.. wow..!! how great..!! we went to clementi to join guolong and the others for dinner.. met them.. ate.. talk cock then went home..

Only a day left before competition starts.. must be prepared.. most importantly mentally prepared.. i'm gonna do my best.. i'm gonna make my friends proud and i'm gonna faint if i win this competition
