Safra Regional Shoot and The DBI

DBI stands for "Day Before It". Yes, the day before today = yesterday. Yesterday I went to SAFRA from school after the slack lessons to some non-slack training. The whole range was freaking full and since Jianghao and Kelvin got there before us (Boxian and me), they got the 2 allocated lanes for HCI (Hwa Chong Institution). Boxian used a lane close to his competition bay, risking having to move out anytime while I just trained at the coach's bays. I had to endure the extreme heat of the room and worse the noise from the freaking noisy sec twos, namely DANIEL <-- If you are reading this I just want you to know you are going to pump like hell one day.

Anyway I trained pretty well and since I already made an agreement with Jianghao to let me use his lane after a while, I just beared with the FREAKING NOISE. Finally, at about 4.30, sweating and irritated, I moved out. I continued to train at lane no-idea-what-number-it-is for a while until they came to test the finals machines thing. So I packed everything ready to go home. Then I saw Qiao-ge at the coach's bays area asking me to train inside. So I just went and re-filled my gas cylinder, went inside and released about 5 air shots and started to train, AGAIN. Anyway hard work pays off a little.

So it reached today, SAFRA Regional Shoot. First time using my P700 in a competition and all. So I just went there, stressed to the core, sandwiched between a XMSS shooter and a TSS shooter. The TSS shooter shot damn fast and ended with a score of 480+ or 380+ (Can't remember la. And I didn't know the scores at that time by the way). So anyway I just continued shooting slowly. Then there was this fateful shot. I aimed, I pulled the trigger to the first pressure, I concentrated on the relationship and aiming picture, then I pulled to second pressure (or so I thought), then I shifted the rifle, then BAM! SHIT! 8!! Anyway that was my only 8. Damn sad. So I finished before the XMSS guy behind me. Estimated about 570+.

Packed all my stuff knowing I can definitely not get into the finals. Went to eat wif LJH and OBX. Came back and saw the scores, 576! Not really good considering my target was 580+. But I was satisfied with the 12 position, losing only to the pros. Best of all I beat Kelvin and Ronald!! Haha.. Exact same score with Junyang but I had a higher seconds last series (last series was the same) so I won him!! No tripod and all.. Haha...

Wah not bad right? 576. But I am still going to train and finally achieve my goal! To be continued..

Training (again) and Coach's Mini Competition

Woke up about 9 and left for safra at 9:45. Took a cab as usual and reached there at about 10. Nothing special was happening except maybe the whole gang of sec twos crowding around the counter. After I finally drew my weapon and equipment, I started training.

Still felt a bit sleepy. I realised that my butt plate was too high and cheek piece was too low. So I just adjusted and continued training. Sat down after 20 mins (too sleepy). Adjusted my cheek piece's angle and position while sitting. After that the cheek piece was puuurfect! Shot quite well but after about 2 hours coach started the Mini Competition (MC).

Wth I did not have enough cards so coach gave me a stack anyway. I was like "Wah. So many cards". But as usual I counted the number of cards and the counting returned 6 sets of 10s and a extra 5 cards (65). So I shot 5 sighters and went on to speed shoot (trying to ignore the pain and finish quickly at the same time). I shot uber fast unlike my normal self. After what seemed to be 50 shots (I didn't count), I was thinking "Wah kao.. 60 shots so many meh??". Anyway I finished shooting asap.

When I was counting the score, I realised that I SHOT 10 EXTRA FREAKIN SHOTS! Anyway I got 573 for the first 6 series. END!!! Playing CS!!

Camps and Miracles.

Nanyang Primary School's P5 camp today. I led 27 people to facilitate the camp. However, the instructors thought we were supposed to help the teachers, who actually do nothing, as in really nothing.

We met in NYPS at abt 8. Then I sorted them into groups with Ceyong screwing most stuff up by not following instuctions. Anyway I finally managed after quite a long time. Then I started learning the Elf Dance... (Learning.. learning..)

Anyway the camp started off really boring as the pairs led their classes and the VIP (Keef, Yu Xuan and I) just did the random work. We did stuff like preventing the blind lamers from tripping over tent pegs (DOH!). Like quite a few people fell. Thought the pegs were like damn obvious (DOUBLE DOH!). Anyway some of them served lunch and stuff.

By the way, I was able to do the Elf Dance after about 1 1/2 hours. Back to the camp thing. Since we were really bored and pissed, the VIPs decided to discuss this with the dua pai guy aka "Wax". Anyway, after a long discussion, he decided we could change the camp organisation a bit so we could do more stuff. Anyway, we (the VIPs) ran around informing everyone about the new plans. (My HP connected to the damn Malaysian line!!)

Anyway we did lame stuff like that basically. We also saw Bert and Jayliang kenna drenched. I also developed the taught the VIP cheer to the other 2 VIPs. It was a real morale booster.

Anyway, this is a real short miracle. No idea how it happened but... MY SOCIAL STUDIES HW WAS POSTPONED!!!

Meetings. Training. Homework.

So basically I went to school. So it's pretty straight forward. Dismissed with Mathematics (super sadistically difficult so I can't even do 1 out if 7 questions) and Biology. Went to try and deposit the Class Funds but the damn room wasn't open. So anyway I went to throw my stuff into my father's car, then went to look for NanZG (wasn't there) to return the class funds for safe-keeping. Anyway when I finally could go to the canteen for lunch there wasn't enough time to eat. So I bought a sandwich and went outside LT3 to play chapteh while eating and waiting for the junior instructors meeting(talk about multi-tasking). So we went to the meeting and discussed the usual stuff. Dismissed with me and Clement each leading a group of 14 boys and 14 girls to facilitate the NYPS camp. After that I had to rush to Yishun SAFRA for some sec 2 c div' selection shit. I reached there and started doing my maths (still stuck at first question). I wrote 18 steps of some super complicated algebra+SURDS+quadratic equations+all other kinds of shit. 3 times. And I still couldn't do it. Anyway we were damn happy when we found out that the new rifles finally arrived. We unpacked them and packed them. One of the rifles were assigned to Ronald (sadly) and the other was supposed to be used by Kelvin, Boxian and I. So we realised that that was too stupid and troublesome we decided to "chee-ko-pa" it out. And I won so the rifle is mine :) Anyway I trained a little and realised that my rifle (Feinwerkbau Model 603) was still spoilt. So anyway I got kind of pissed so I stopped at abot 6:30P.M. Packed up my stuff and went home. So when I reached home (8P.M) I ate my dinner hungarily (I didn't eat lunch). Then I re-visted my seven maths questions and realised that there was no point since nobody was able to do either of the questions and my JC1 sister couldn't do it either (expected). Anyway I finished my IHC homework and continued to be pissed with my maths. So here I am blogging and yes this is a pretty long paragraph. Nothing else to say. EOS (End of Story)

Shit.

PE tommorrow. Can't log in to IVLE. No luck with FTP. Afternoon lessons tomorrow. <--in order or shittiness.

Pwnage.

The title's crap. This has got nothing to do with pwnage.
Anyway let's blog away. Here I am sitting in front of my dual monitor laptop that's connected to a 200 watt sound system and my wireless network (including printer and 3000kbps internet connection), thinking of what to type really. With Boxian's blog on my right monitor, I am simultenously (spelling?) writing and reading. It's a test for my multi-tasking ability [otherwise known as Hyper-Threading Technology (click here for more details)].

Anyway, that's more than enough for computer jargon. Testing out my other language in preparation for my first computer studies (C++) lesson tomorrow. Anyway, I was searching for a more suitable GameBoy Color emulator for my handphone running Symbian OS. It's said that my handphone has a 100megahertz central processing unit (CPU) capable of emulating the GameBoy Color environment. So I went on a full scale search, and it ended with 3 results. vBoy, GoBoy and some other lame useless thing I didn't even consider. vBoy is said to be the best by many, and GoBoy is also said to be the best by many. So I tried GoBoy (it's free, unlike vBoy) and realised it didn't have colour (so much for a GBC emulator). Yes anyway I uninstalled it (didn't like it).

And back to the file transfer protocol (ftp) problem. No idea what happened.

Mmmm.. I am thinking about something to say..

Oh maybe my Biology lessons (endosymbiotic theory related jargon) or my recent experiences pwning people in CS (hmm.. seems a bit related to the title...)? Nothing much to say. And I have to go to school tomorrow.

Anyway let's all play Pokemon on our phones. We pwn (some relation here)! Anyway I will try to speak in more complicated computer terms from now on.

super training

Weekends finally. Trained from about 3:30 to 8:30. 1 hour for fixing rifle though. Haha. One of the cards after the fix.

I can't ftp. Some error. I will throw the pic in some other day. Those who carn wait can ask me for it :)

It's a 10.9 for those who don't know. Shot quite a few though I only wanted to keep one. And note the spastic name error. Was like damn tired but still continued training anyway. Since I have afternoon lessons on Monday (SAFRA closed), Tuesday and Thursday, I can only go to SAFRA on Wednesday and Friday. Sad.

Time Table Blues

Damn. Look at my time table.. It's the reason why this post will be short. I am going to rest as much as I can in preparation for tomorrow... I hope I survive the first few weeks before I get used to the super time table..

Nothing Much and a Personal Recount

Nothing much done today.. Except re-re-re-reading Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.. Dunno why every time i read it I will skip the first 3 chapters.. Haha...

Anyway I found out that my wireless internet connection isn't super stable.. It disconnects me from time to time. Anyway that's not very important :) I tried out my phone's features today.. Everythings cool except the last row of keys on the keypad. They are rather small and difficult to press.. And I still have to get used to the new keypad layout. And especially the new menu button and clear button (I keep pressing "Close"). I transfered some mp3 files and they sounded pretty good to me (for a phone). I also made my own Hitman: Contracts theme even though I don't use it (will cause lag - and I hate lag).

Time passes so quickly goddamnit. School is going to re-open in 2 days and I haven't even bought my new PE- t-shirt. I also need to buy new pants (damn I am getting fat!). I still remember how I felt just before taking my PSLE results. It was something like this...

End of Year 2002 (after PSLE but 2 days before release of results): I was bathing one day and at the same time I was dreading about the release of my PSLE results. I had 220 (exactly) for my prelims and I was expecting around 230 for my actual PSLE results. I studied like hell for PSLE (1 month) but anyway I still had little confidence in myself. So anyway I was dreading it.. And (surprise, surprise!) the day came (duh 2 days later). I was thinking "shit, shit" when I was sitting in the classroom. Anyway the teacher announced the highest scorer (Valerie) and she (the form teacher) said there was a tie for the highest scoring place. Anyway all I can say I was tied to that place. *END*
