Ok.. here comes the super long entry ( i think )

New year.. Well.. it's january so mostly it's the exam period.. so that's the main reason behind the long absence of updates on my blog.

Spinnovex was fun.. i think it's the best one i've been.. maybe it's becoz we have an archery booth and that i always visit my lovely cousin, Sakinah's, FYP booth and disturb her. Ehehehehehe.

Her project was to measure angles of joints in the human body. Only hinge joints though. It had everything that i have learned in year 2. It has this strain gauge called a Goniometer. And I pronounce it wrongly on the first time and am pretty much embarassed about it. I bet she loves to disturb me about it.

SP Open is coming up.. and all the administrative work behind it made me work my ass off. All the calling. All the planning. All the drafts. Lucky it's all completed and now we have to just wait for the actual competition. And that is gonna create another hellhole.

well let's look at other things. Subcom interview. Was a very insightful 2 days. Learned new things. Got to know some of the year 1s better. All in all. I've picked my assistants.

Archery. It has been a very very educating few weeks into the new year. Albert came by to give us the strings we ordered from him. He spent some time with us. Taught me and shaun several new things. New and wonderful things that will help us in archery. He came down again during Spinnovex, not only for the ice cream (ahahhaha), but also to teach us new things and answer our questions on all things archery. Great great things i learnt from him. Great to have Singapore's Best so eager to share his knowledge and experience as well as give us advice. All the more giving me more inspiration to perform and strive to be better in archery.

My ITP posting's out. Posted to Lifeline corporation somewhere in potong pasir. Damn far. But come to think of it, i can train after work if i have the time. Then again, i'm one of the few fortunate ones to get a job that's related to my course. Fixing and assembling control boxes for automated wheelchairs. Pay is relatively low, but i'm promised a raise in pay if i can get my task done before the 2 months of attachment. I intend to upgrade my equipment with the money earned.

NTU Open and IVP is coming up. Double 70 is what i signed up for. Crazy shit. LOL. but wat the hell. i'm all for it. Have to train hard with the minimum time i have left. One year out of competition for me. Must make an impact when i come back. Hope to win something in the team event. The friends that i have made from other clubs will be there too. I miss wymer. LOL.

These past few days, alot of things have been running through my mind. It'll affect me i know it. It already has.



1000 arrows of persistence.

TAC 2008

Nothing much to blog for now.

Busy Busy Busy.

Will promise to come up with a super long entry next time.

In the mean time, here's a good read.

Year 2007 is the past and now it's 2008.

Like any other year, i have set resolutions for myself (which i tend to forget and end up not doing them). I haven't quite thought of resolutions for myself for this year. i'm still holding on to 2007.

Let's take a look back in my life in 2007.

In archery, i finally upped to recurve with my dear eclipse. Learning many new things, making new friends, gaining more experience as i participated in recurve competitions. Most notably the South East Asian Junior Championships which honestly changed my life in archery. I got to know wymer and his family more, forging a great friendship. I also developed the ability to coach, coaching an archer to win the female standard individual champion. Which also cemented my name as someone whom the other archers can come and ask for help. well. i've been appointed team captain as well. pretty much following the steps of guolong.

In studies, my first sem as a year 2 was disastrous. Totally horrendously disastrous. But now, in sem 2. Things are turning for the better. I'm desperately covering up for what gpa points i lost back in sem 1 and things are good. It's two more weeks of study then a week's break for study and then the exams. Studies have been good. No matter the grade for the module. The lecturers have been influential and really helpful. Pretty much injecting the vigour and drive to study harder.

In life. i had a relationship with a wonderful girl, but it was never meant to be. Good things come to an end. Abrupt and confusing end in my life. Oh well. I have to move on. Trying to but can't. I lost some friends due to their selfish attitudes. I nearly lost a few good friends but all's well now. My relationship with current friends are strengthening by the day. Religiously, i have chosen not to become an apprentice but have always been convinced by the adults to re-consider my decision. I don't want to. Too much politics involved. I mean how can spreading religious knowledge be coupled with politics? They can't. So i choose to be a normal student for now. For now. See how my life goes in 2008.

Now that's the past. That was 2007.

Now it's 2008.

I can roughly guess wat's in store for me. FYP, the responsibilities as team captain, my own studies, my own shooting.

Resolutions for this year? I don't know can't think of any right now. To be more sorrowful and emo perhaps? XD.


Wishing a happy year ahead for everyone.
