This is my first day of work, and time passes fast . 8hrs just flew by as i was pushing the trolleys and packing stocks. This job is ideal for me, and i am glad i took it up. The trolleys are heavy, phew. I had a hard time in my first try, after awhile i manage to keep it in control. I learnt something precious there.

The reason i said this job was ideal for me, is because :
  1. The location; i can drop by after archery and head down to work, or the other way round, go for work and than later head down to shoot. Also i can always head down after school to work if there isn't training that day.
  2. The workload requires me to tone myself up for archery..
I increased my order for another set of arrows. Cartel Triple 800. That will cost me another $310 at least, excluding the fletches. And my aim is for a WinAct by this end of the holidays. This is achievable if i work hard for the next 2 weeks. WinAct cost around $438 or so.. it depends.

phew.. what a tiring day, the first day of the lunar new year.

I was being woke up by the noise my step mum was making, she was saying it's already 9am and you all are still on the bed. I remembered asking her what time we were supposed to wake up but she just said anytime. Which was why i slept LATE too.. sigh.. anyway, that was no big deal.

I wore my new shirt, the one i bought from west mall- crocodile brand. The shirt is amazing, i like it very much. It has the feel of a normal bathing towel on the outside and inside it feels like a normal shirt. It cost a bomb as well -$79.90 before discount. There was a 20% discount, and still i paid a bomb for it; $63.20.

I headed to one of my relatives house at woodlands, and i was darn disappointed. sigh, none of my pretty cousins were there yet. My dad chose such a good time to go, because he didn't want to give out too many red packets in the afternoon. But you see, it has been 2years since i last saw my "kawaiii-neh" cousins. I am missing them.... oh well, than again.. NOT. (you'd understand this if you watch Borat).

i am having a hard time trying to get the little kids away from me. phew, they crowd ard me as though i am going to give them ang pows and when they all see that i wasn't taking anything out, she showed total arrogance and walked away. Wah lao.. Well, the girls are more well behaved than the boys-(as usual). Girls cling on to me and the little boys cling on to my sister-Dorothy.

Right now as i am blogging, my dad is having his majong game, i hope the past doesn't repeat itself. i dun want him to lose another $200!!!! i can get my arrows with that amount of money.

Next stop was to grandfather's house. That is on my deceased mum's side. He is ok, like always, he is getting a lot older and more flabby muscles . He asked me to his room and gave me another extra $20, i know he loves me. I think he sees his deceased daughter in me. That is why he treats me extra special.

Last stop is to grandmother's house, this is my step mum's side. I got lots of red packet. And there wasn't many girls there. Sian... There is one, she is from Ngee Ann too. She is my step cousin, i think.

sigh, darn.. i was forced to change from the old blogger to the new one. Anyway, this val's day was pretty normal. i had a simple dinner with Isabel at this japanese place, the ambiance was nice, more for lovers i guess. She surprised me with the paper rose, made using tissue paper.

SJ is still not talking to me.. hmm....

I have been working hard on archery. I made it to the national training squad, it is a pool of archers of above average than they slowly take the better ones out.. I need $1051 more for archery. Which is why, i will have to work hard to earn money.

WAH, the upcoming course for archery is so bloody expensive luh..

  1. Arrow Appreciation course 4 hours $80/- you get training, a personal Arten fletching jig ($40), 60 pcs of fletch ($18), 1 tube of glue ($8), 1 tube of brownell string wax ($10) plus a bottle of cleaning alcohol ($4), free use of cutting jig for cutting 10 sets of arrows($50). This package is available only to the first 15 who signs up. Limited stocks. First Come, first serve. Others pay $40 for the course only. Oh yeah, I will also throw in one roll of toilet paper for all pax (such a generous guy). Seriously though, this is a great course in that you will learn all there is to learn about arrows, arrow maintenance, and how to fine tune. After the new year, we will no longer do fletching for you as it is very time consuming and expensive for us.
    The first class is slated for March 02, 6 to 10 pm, Canteen. The next class is April 06 (Good Friday), 6 to 10 pm, Canteen.
  2. String Making course, 4 hours $100/- you get training, 6 sets of strings ($90), 1 tube of bow string wax ($10), free use of jig (normally $5 a string) ($30). In this class you will learn about the characteristics of strings, how to make your own personal strings, how to care for your strings, reserving, doing nocking points, etc. Very good course to sign up for. Once you have graduated you can make strings for others and charge a fee for it. Jaffar will no longer make strings for the members so you will need to know how to do it. Class is slated for March 09, 6 to 10 pm, Canteen.
  3. TheraBand Training - 2 hours $30/- you get 2 hours of instructions on the various exercises, 2 sets of bands worth $30, a special edition flaming arrows towel to wipe those sweat off (priceless -- the towel that is). class will commence once the TheraBand is in.
  4. On top of that , there is an increase in the membership fees. UGH.. Increase in membership fees. for this year, our membership fee will be $10 a month or $2.50 a weekend. It is still the most affordable considering the benefits. all members will also get a free competition tee shirt to be used for 2007 tournaments if they pay by end February 2007. Which means i have to pay $120 a year.

On my latest order with jaffar, i ordered my v-bar, and side stab. I am still considering the arrows- Cartel Triple spine 800. I calculated i will need $141,that is without Cartel Triple 800.

I thought that Silie did a very right thing, which is to cancel the order from MRLIM, that guy just play too much politics. Cannot be trusted luh. His price keep fluctuating and also he keep quoting different prices to different ppl. He will plunge to his downfall if he keeps going on like that.

D-technolife- BLEACH

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed Shoulder the burden of the past that cannot be erased; don't throw away your will to live

Your hand that I held...

Will we lose it someday? I want to protect you and that disappearing smile The ringing voice that calls me dries out Even if it gets erased by the wind along time I will find you

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize

Like a rusted person

It felt so hollow to just pile atop one another You said you could live on your own Just with the usual kind words You ache to a point where I cannot reach you

Your hand that I held searched for some simple kindness Do you remember By learning pain, you can become a person who can be kind to others Drive your Life

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize

How can I see the meaning of life Disappearing, you're the only. . .

So you will not break, you distance yourself from me Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people Now it's by and by, even if you cannot see, there's a meaning to everything Shoulder the burden of the past that cannot be erased; don't throw away your will to live

You'd better forget everything. Remember. . . your different Life? You'd better forget everything. Remember. . . though, we cannot return

Like in times of warped memories, we can understand someday

sigh, it was such a let down today. i wanted to do down to shoot but FAAC was closed. jaffar wasn't there. Sam, tessa and nessa was there too. haha, they are sooo funny. reminds me of the times when i was younger and can't make up my mind in most thigns that i do. Also nessa reminded me abt my oldself, the part in me that loves to go walk during afternoons listening to my discman.

i increased my poundage in hopes of wanting to minimise the wind effects. Apparantly, i guessed it right, the flight is much better and the poundage is better suited for my arrows- 1816.

i have decided, from today onwards. I am going solo.

i am so glad that i won something on the AAS shoot. It was a team event on the FITA900, Silie, Hanwei and i are in a team. Silie did very well, and i will want to be as strong as him. I dun want to be number 2, i want to be number 1. I will work very hard from now on.. really hard. Just to take note, i got 570 for the standard class and for the FITA 900 i had 684.

Anyway, i went for a job interview yesterday at NTUC where most of my poly friends are also working. I will be there to be a storeman and do labour work. The pay isn't that great; but at least i have some money for myself and as so i can spend on archery. (you know archery is an expensive sport) .

Really tired from the 2 weeks of non-stop training.. sigh, yesterday was a good day too. I had alot of time to shoot and train. Fingers are numb and competition is tml, so i decided to take this day and rest well...




i miss the good old time =(
