| Once upon a time... OHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GOSSSSSSSH! today is awesome and rock-on!!
School was just a medium of passing time.. i was actually waiting for 11.15am to set off to yishun safra! yeeeeahhahahaha.
Dropped by KFC for lunch, and trudged along to safra. Heh, thankfully it was not my first time there, if not i'll be in a panic. Actually, i was told to visualise everything in the bus with my eyes closed (!! CONTACTS!!) and i actually did. Seems the part of shooting to control your mind. It was quite unnerving once i got there, but i kept telling myself to treat it like a normal training round, with a tinge of strictness though.
it all happened so quickly and slowly (! how is that possible!?) but i felt that way, so anyway.. First problem. The pistol. Ms fauzana did NOT assign a gun to me although she said she will. DAMN SLACKER. We had to dig up the "archives" of unused guns, particularly Farshad's old one. The handle fit, but the trigger was extremely looooose. thank god for wenjie who helped me fix up the handle on jasmine's pistol - something like a cool hybrid (chimera?!) - and i dry-fired for about 30 seconds in the weapon storage room (which somehow looks like a damn fake jungle lol). Then wen jie also passed me this pellet storage box, made for rifle shooters i think, and told me to use it. its very cool, because you just pour pellets into it and shake it a little and all the pellets fall upright into the slots! then by releasing the 'hinge' the pellets all pop up and lets you pick them easily to load into your gun wahahah. felt so privileged for having that :) after hanging around for like infinity, the competition kinda unknowingly started. everyone was at their positions and we were dry firing like nobody's business. only THEN did i realised that the guy had just announced that "preparation time had begun". So for the ten minutes of preparation i was sitting on the chair shakin` ma` legs... So right after the word START was mentioned, piak piak piak sounds were already rattling. Those guys just couldnt wait a little while. They just couldnt. Meh, i started moving. The sighters card was already up and waiting like a sitting duck for it to be shot. Oh, the cruelty of guns... Anyway, i loaded up and down..down...down.. and fired a shot. HOLY SHIT. It's like completely off. Like the WHITE area. (less than 6points) Got 489 for my score. Not too good, not too bad either. Average of 8.15. At least im improving! Im definitely going to take part in the next monthly shoot in March wahahaha! So much for my first shooting competition experience. xiaohui is having her detail tomorrow and all the best to her! Too bad i cant spectate as its in the morning. A pic of me in mj shooting jacket as the post was too long and boring. LOL. approved by awesam | 10:15 PM
