Freshman Year

today is the end of study week for semester 2 of my year one

its has been quite a journey..

begun with sports camp

then hall camp

then sem one and sem two

life in NTU had good and bad times

new friends from all sorts of backgrounds...

some times i wonder if a degree will really bring me somewhere

somewhere that i will settle my life with

and work there until my last breath

things that we need to do to get our grades

what if one day there are no need for such a grading system?

the world should gone haywire

no one will ever study hard for exams and all

thats the sad truth

one thing i learnt from NDU is all humans are slut..
take ippt for example.. 9.14 is gold.. most people will just aim for that and not a lesser time

put this into perspective

GPA 5 seems unreachable for most of us

but what does GPA 5 really means

some times i asked myself why people including myself are chasing for this..

im tired of finding the answer..
yes the result will look good for resume indeed..
but what else does it truly matter?

work hard and enjoy life should be the emphasis

ill try to live by it...
too much influence from noises around

be surprised how these noises changes people

not blogging is not good for me

i kept thoughts in my mind and cant unleash them

cant organise them properly

still recall those days i blog almost everyday

my mind is always clear and straight and things and decision

but somehow with the advances of technology..

iphone and ipad and all..

i became much too lazy to even touch the app in my phone

sense a need to get back my thoughts in alignment

need to

end of year 1 with 5 papers..

it will end at 2nd May

after that we all will have nothing to do

have to start planning stuff to do after

if not we all will feel the void in us..

no need to touch books and notes anymore

that kind of feeling

feeling of freedom and lost at the same time

suck

ironic it is

luckily i have trips reservist and camps to look forward to

and finally the day i should start getting my formal sporting life back

ACL reconstruction

let me fly through those fields and climb those walls

conquering all kind of obstacles again

i need it

ACL save me from my misery!

Hooyah!

A high step

NIS is over. I got my open cat team gold. But somehow when im back here reflecting. I knew i could do better. Oh well. I guess its good enough to maintain the performance with that level of stress. Besides winning medals. I also got the chance to observe our team singapore shooters perform. Watching them shoot has a different kind of take away.

Took my sweet time and careless of all other stuff happening. Peace and joy. Me and myself only in the range. I scored 582.

I know i can do better.
I will.

A roller coaster ride

I asked myself if im prepared for the shoot today. Then i said to myself. In always ready. Mao xin pulled himself out and place me for the first team event. That level of expectation is... Consumming.

Preparation time was a mess. I cant draw my rifle because i was wearing slippers. And the armour guy also mess up on where was NTU's weapons. So the ten minutes was just a standing hopelessly kind of moment. Oh well. Did my sighters as productive as i can be. First series was depressing. Trying as much to follow what coach has been trying to tell me. But the competition mood total had me. No chance at all. 2 8s that i will never forget.

It wasnt all smooth and sweet there after. Got self-mind fucked big time when i realise the 20 over shooters behind me were pistolers. And only 3 rifler at jc and secondary level. Obviously they will shoot faster. Like alot faster than me. So if everything goes as what i expected. I will have 15 mins of fame for my last series. Zzz. What the shit was i thinking seriously. End up. I finished 6 mins before time and some pistolers ended 20s beofre time. Lol. What a joke.

Personal honour to be top of air rifle man cat for the day since only those few rifle man shot. Wait to see my scores drop by each day. I know i dod my best. All the best for Jonathan and Alexander. May us clinch our own NIS title!

NTU spirit!

NIS 2012

After months in the NTU Shooting team. I finally have my first shooting related shirt.
As host and shooting isnt that easy. People say thats a home advantage. But it not in this situation. Safra yishun is home of all shooters. Especially the national team and other school that doest have a shooting range in their campus. Nis. Im in the first team by chance. I hope for the best. Wish me for the best. And let me have the best.

Going through it

One thing at a time

Have been doing alot of things. At everymoment it seems like there is something i have to do. Now. Just sit down and enjoy.

Eating this is the best. All i need to say is one person eating.

Out of time

As we going into recess week. Somehow everything comes in and take time away from me. Need to go back iras to prep for war in march. Need to do try outs for sports camp. Need to shoot for monthly shoot. Need to help out in events. Need to do singapore biathlon. Where got time to catch up in studies and for my probable love? Oh mans.

Nis in week 9 and exams also coming soon. What a 15 au semester for me.
Hope NUH dont give me some shocking news on my knee.
