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.
