Thursday..

My first full day of training with a main stab on.. borrowed club's one of course.. shot 30m blank face.. tried to use the limbs that mr wee lent me.. 40lbs.. not bad.. nice to pull.. much easier to pull then the challenger limbs.. but the top limb with the loose button was irritating me with the rattling sound everytime i made a shot.. until i reverted back to the challenger limbs.. no progress on my shooting.. still floating.. can't seem to fucking anchor.. hah.. until sam came and guolong told him about my mistake.. "He's a floater.. he know's his problem..".. ahahahah.. so sam tried to help me with the problem.. hah.. and his help did help me abit.. nonetheless it did help me.. when anchored.. the grouping was there.. so.. all the more motivation driving me on to just fucking anchor.. ahahahahhaha.. borrowed sam's bumblebee.. nice.. nice feeling on the main stab..
shot and shot.. then it started to rain.. woo.. shooting in the rain for the first time with my eclipse.. woo.. damn cool lah.. but it was hard.. first.. the grip was slippery.. secondly.. i could barely aim through the water-droplet surface of my glasses.. thirdly.. somehow.. i strangely forgotten that i'm shooting 38lbs.. and since it was raining.. the boards turned soft.. all my shots almost went through the board.. there were some that totally shot through the board..!! ahahahah.. me and shwajuan had a hard time retrieving the arrows.. we had to push them from the back before we could pull them from the front.. ahaha..

after shooting.. back in the club.. cleaning and drying my wet bow.. and sam was like having trouble with his sight.. he's using a Cartel 2000 sight.. it had ball bearings which is suppose to be better.. but the ball bearing got stuck.. so he had trouble taking the sight out.. hahahaha.. and he spent like half an hour just trying to get the thing out of his riser.. it finally took me, ryan and him to finally pull the thing out.. ahahahah.. and he's reaction once we got the sight out was damn funny lah.. "I'm never gonna use this damn sight again..!!".. ahahahha..


Friday..

SPDP..
sian.. no mood to teach.. i have problems of my own in archery and i was totally in no mood to teach.. and guess who i was assigned to teach.. my secondary schoolmate cheng ying.. he's like wtf.. he's those.. aiya.. hard to describe lah.. but 2 years with him ah.. walao.. had trouble teaching both my assigned students.. one.. chengying.. has no strength.. and the other guy.. eng sheng.. was only intent on "learning a new skill" so that he could fill a requirement for NYAA.. i was like wth.. u join this thing to learn something new.. not to fill in one of your damned achievement requirements.. and he was like giving me bloody wrong info about his sight.. wth.. totally lost my mood to teach.. wonder whether i'm gonna teach ever again.. have to do some silent thought about this too.. damn.. those words that wei yi told me awhile back keep ringing in my head whenver i find myself in this type of situation.. damn.

finally.. it was over.. so took the 2hr break to shoot.. my rest was like tearing off.. but i still shot with it.. shot 30m at first.. but it was so cramped i couldn't make a decent shot without worrying of hitting nadiah, who was standing in front of me, with my bow swing after i made my shot.. so i finally went up to 50m to shoot with GL and shwajuan.. at least got space.. somemore we're the only c-class archers around.. so it'll be nice to show those spdp people that the c-class archers shoot further distances.. somehow.. for another strange reason.. my shots are better at 50m then at 30m.. o.0.. i finally stopped shooting when my rest flew off after a shot.. ahahahha.. it was damn funny lah.. i was like aiming.. then release.. *poof*.. i see a white thing also flying out.. ahahahhahahah.. so spent the remaining time putting my rest back on before i went to friday prayers..

back.. had a light lunch.. dunno why these days i seem to be losing my appetite.. oh well.. finally got back to shooting.. learnt how to use the clicker.. it was hard at first.. coz i was prone to releasing very early into the shot sequence.. not until i lost some fletches of some of my arrows.. finally.. i got used to using that metallic strip.. it was hard.. but nonetheless i can do it.. i had to anchor.. so there.. the anchor problem solved.. and i had to expand into every shot so that the clicker would click.. Guolong was like "go go.. push push.. keep pulling *click*.." and my arrow flew.. it was nice using the clicker.. but there were times that i had trouble clicking coz fatigue started to kick in.. we all unset the field when a thunderstorm came..

back in the club.. christine, kailin and esther had bought pillows for the club.. woo..!! damn cool lah.. all the better for me to sleep with.. ahahahahah.. the pillows were nice, snugly and firm.. nice nice.. ahhah.. so i took one and slept with it.. and that yazid ahh.. always like to disturb me when i sleep.. wth.. ahahahah..

so now.. i've got to get use to the clicker.. it'll take time.. but now i can do all the SPTs..

i really wanted to go for NUS compy.. i know i can be ready by then.. by march. but i'm not ready for the shootout score.. so now.. i have to abandon going to it.. coz i'm not ready for the score taking.. Patience.. i have to be patient.. i'm sure there are other compys coming where i can show my mettle..

i'm in an archery class of it's own. my own.. it's called C-standard class.. ahahahahaahhahaha..


Saturday..
second day of SPDP.. met up with rachel at boon lay station.. met guolong at chinese garden.. earliest in school.. set up field.. used those small light stands.. taught only chengying today.. much improvement i have to say..

then they put up balloons up on the board.. decided to join in the fun as well.. shot several balloons down of course.. hah.. i dunno why.. but it's strange.. ever since i've upped poundage.. from 24lbs to now 38lbs.. i have never been able to find my sight for short distances.. i would have to aim-off..

anyways.. had fun shooting balloons.. worked my form at 18m.. though somehow.. it didn't look like 18m at all.. had yu sheng tossing.. taste like jeruk i should say.. had my usual light lunch of 2 sandwiches bought from 7-eleven.. ate.. then shot.. 18m.. 30m.. constantly jumping boards.. coz whenever i felt that my form was wrong.. i went to 18m to sort it out..

wymer came down.. as usual with his family.. his father and sister are compound archers.. woo.. damn cool.. suddenly i feel like going over to the Dark side of the archer Force.. ahahahahha.. rachel had a problem that clement highlighted out to her.. and she can't seem to work on it.. so helped her.. did a little bit of form tweaking on her.. taught her what clement actually meant.. expansion.. hah. and she made improvement.. ahahahahha.. wth.. how come i can help people but never myself..?? maybe it's becoz i see their mistakes and i can't see mine.. i only have myself to feel whether i'm right or wrong.. feel.. feel..

i still need to gain strength in my left arm.. need endurance and strength to click and hold up to bow..


anyways..


HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR to all my chinese friends out there..!!!!
