singhui has yet to start doing her hw yet
somehow im still not prepared for next year's challenges i guess.

meeting with capts/vc-s , pres and lee yesterday
wat he had told gen seems to ring a bell in me
the fact that we didnt do much when half of our term is alrdy gone is disturbing me
it's not like we are always not in sg, like joannah and peixin
so it's very wrong of me not to do anything to even try to fulfill my promise of pushing every single one to 370
[actually i think lee meant the sch team to hit avg 370 that time, but i'll take it as the whole APG team]
now that the new year is about to start, i have to do sth.

reading yb's blog, i realised how our [or mine,more like] lack of support has impacted among our teammates.
i forgot wat was the content, it's sth to do with the shooting clinic i think.
i muz admit, i was assured tt they will be in good hands under the seniors
im afraid that if i were to get involved and give opinions that differ from what they have suggested,
they'll be confused and duno what is right, what is wrong for them.
personally i prefer taking in different opinions, try out on my own and see which one actually suits/works for me
but it applies to different people, there are too many variables...
thus i have decided to take the easier way out.

retest only consist of theory qn and ans, one-by-one somemore

helped vanessa and huimin with range duty, but no pay :(
haha...funny happenings during pistol final 10

during prep time;
uncle poh, standing behind rachel.t, was breathing damn loudly to disturb her.
everyone was like laughing and everything
den coach.gai, standing behind uncle poh, suddenly sticked out his foot and kicked poh in the arse.
he sort of like staggered to the front due to the force
LOL...hahahaha damm funny...

halfway through sighters;
coach.gai raised up his hands and told mr.eddie:
i want to complain. shooter 5 (poh) is shooting my target
[true or not im not too sure cuz i wasnt noticing]
-.-"!

den can see mr.eddie was like: aa can be serious during final 10 or not.

im lazy. yea i really am. sorry blog >.<

just some stuffs to add on.

bowling and ice skating and dinner with some of the AISL07 trip ppl on last mon was really fun
though im such a klutz. caused jasmine to fall while trying to teach her to ice skate, and broke rachel's necklace while trying to stuff ice down her shirt.
paisehhs. hope jasmine's wrist's alright and i'll try to compensate rachel's neckalce, somehow. Xl

oya oya, soo sorry to my dear seniors for not attending the seniors' farewell on mon nite.
which meant, din get to deliver the gifts to the 3 lovely APGs and the certs to the other seniors.

went to chalet on the 2nd day (tues) instead.
bowled again haha. but my score were much much better than mon's. ha.
tackled the table soccer thingy and got pwned by mark :(
played calvin's wii at nite. wahaha dam fun though i was always the first few to die :p

nyt monthly on sat
91 94 89 91 365
ewww i so hate tt 89 series.
it's like 5 eights argh. so gross.
the last series could have been better; shot a 7 for the last shot
and i got pwned by eunice...haha nooo...

yesterday (mon), jianhuan's birthday dinner at fish and co.
haha had a great time there..
not the dinning part though, cuz i ordered this clayfish pasta thing
but it's like dam spicy and the pasta is kinda not well cooked (not the gravy it's the pasta itself)
vanessa and i were like omg so spicy.
the fish and chips are so much nicer, and it's dammm big size tt most of them couldn't finish their's.

alrite, plans for these two weeks.
1. no online, no blogging, no msn
2. work work work
3. HOMEwork ---jialat i have not started on any yet!! :(
4. lifesaving 1,2,3 test on wed, muz study ><
5. train swimming skills for BM, i couldnt save a person properly for goodness sake.
6. training (pistol)-mite cut down on tt till next year.

and yea, other than the events happening around me as mentioned above,
im still a bit worried for my 2 frens.
though they more or less are quite ok for now, but there r still misunderstandings that i feel should be resolved
cuz these misunderstandings is affecting others too.
the coach is worried- shown in the wrong way, but (and thus) the students are ignoring.

perhaps im influenced by some other ppl
but currently im feeling ABIT tired of shooting, training etc.
like junhong mentioned in his blog:
'to rediscover the joy in creating just a hole on the target, rather than the sadness from not getting a world-class grouping.'
it's like, hmm...one has been shooting for years, to try to win medals, get into important games like beijing08 and stuffs. when one have been too engross, well, part of the fun is gone. u train so hard, so hard, just to hit a good score. yea, it's that sense of achievement that makes u happy, but is ur journey there fun after all?

heh, this so so make me feel. seeing my teammates sigh and anger when they shot an 8 or 7.
seeing this statement, i was like, yea, why, why feel sad? it's rather pathetic isn't it?
of cuz, for shooters like me who have been chasing after perfection, 8s or 7s or even 9s (for rifle shooters) arent sth u can happy bout, but y sad?
it's not worth the sadness though.

i think im not worth to say tt im tired of shooting, yet.
i have only shot pistol for like...2 years? which is like super short compared to international shooters who shot for like more than 10 years.
but i have been on the chase for four years alrdy, ever since i joined wat used to be aiarc (it's called aisc now)
hmm...im only ABIT tired la, just a little break (just for a week or 2), i'll be back.
for my chase after achieving 370s, getting into SEA games, achieving 380s, going for world cups, and finally 390s, for perhaps 2012 or 2016 or later.

off for now :)

yay! finally got most of the photos now
hmm...basically AISL 07 @sydney is quite an interesting experience for me
seen lots of really interesting sights and played lots of card games (lol)
as this time the group going there is quite small [even smaller than arafura's]
we really got to bond and stuff and yea, had lots of fun :D
really thx all of them who made this trip wonderful; including you-know-who ;)

for now i think i'll just flood my blog with all the pics
there are too many pics that i doubt my slideshow can contain all of them :p

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

the train!

train station near hotel - 15min away :(

ticketing booth; see so many stations to choose.
*child ticket is soo much cheaper than adult ones. me, being one of the oldest shooters there, paid like x2 or x3 more the others did :(

looks like sg ones isn't it?
*when the station stops 'working' at nite, all the gates will just be opened!

double decker..train.

everyone's so tired after the 10+h flight

underground station near town area

town here--Circular Quay
