Total satisfaction

Card 5: After some rest, it just gets better.

Card 4: Tired but still hanging on.

Card 3: Tiredness crept in...

Card 2: that's a planet out of the solar system

Card 1

Here's my shots for today. Was quite surprised at how well my shots went, but there were always 1 or 2 stray shots on every card and also, the 10 circle is always so elusive, I can never seem to hit it. Guess I need to concentrate more when I'm shooting.. This is sooo fun, I just love shooting to bits.

A little jolt to the system

1st, let me welcome myself back to the blog after such a long MIA. Days have been zipping by and suddenly half of the semester is gone. Kinda feel like nothing much has been done and 6 weeks later it's EXAM time. Gotta start studying soon, i suppose.

Was kinda sad when I heard that there wasn't any event for air rifle in the Inter-Faculty Games (IFG). Was hoping to take part and at least get some competition feeling and maybe some prizes. But anyway, the sadness didn't last for long cos soon after, I've got wind of something even more happening than IFG. *drum roll* The selection for the varsity team is coming soon. Wow, that means that if I get selected, I would be representing NUS in competitions. How nice ya? But then when this feeling subsided, another problem cropped out. If I really became part of the school team, then how would it affect my studies and more importantly, my service in church? Would I then be serving half-heartedly when I have already given my commitment to God and to those who elected me to serve in YF comm the next year?

I'm seriously in doubt here but nonetheless, I've cast all these worries to God. I'll just have to do my utmost best in the selections and He will settle the rest for me. If by any chance I do get selected, then so be it. I'll just have to be a better steward of my time and talents then.

Cheerios and stay happy.

... ...

There's been no interesting things lately for me to update the blog. But just for the note, mid-term break starts this coming week. But don't think I can enjoy it much.

This is one of my favorite hymn. Hope it encourages you as much as it did for me.

The Old Rugged Cross

Verse 1

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,

The emblem of suffering and shame;

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Chorus:

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

'Till my trophies at last I lay down;

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

And exchange it some day for a crown.

Verse 2

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,

Has a wondrous attraction for me;

For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above

To pardon and sanctify me.

Verse 3

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,

A wondrous beauty I see;

For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died

To pardon and sanctify me.

Verse 4

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;

Its shame and reproach gladly bear.

Then He'll call me someday to my home far away.

Where His glory forever I'll share.

Gambatte!!!

I'm dying somehow 2 tests and 1 essay due this week. But the enticing thing is that next week is mid-term break. Yeah!! But there's much to be done during this break. One essay and one project to be completed. I know I can do it, it's just that I am lazy to sit down and study. I can sit down and do many other things like what I am doing now - blogg-ing, nua-ing, tv-ing and many other 'ing's except study-ing. Also, I feel displaced now in my spiritual walk with God, He starts to get smaller and smaller when my workload gets bigger which on the contary, should be the opposite. Not matter how great the workload is, if God is bigger than them then they will be little to me. But well, I'm not doing so. Everytime working based on my own strengths. I'm seriously in the dumps now but I can still maintain a cheerful outlook so friends and family don't worry, I am still same old ME.

Improvements

These are my target cards from today's training, not bad I would say.

OK, So you're asking how to define good?
1) The shots hit the bullseye. (duh)
2) All shots are in the black region
3) The shots are clustered together. (might not hit bullseye or in black region)

My Verdict:
1) I really need to get my aiming correct, the shots are not hitting the center!!
2) Most of the shots are in the black region
3) Most shots are clustered together

Card 1: still warming up, very dispersed


Card 2: Getting closer now...


Card 3: Not bad eh? Looks like Olympic logo. Haha.


Card 4: Getting a little tired (notice the stray shots), went for a little break after this.


Card 5 (After break): This is the best card of the day. Maybe I should be taking more breaks in between.. Hee..

Card 6 and so on are deemed too 'er xin' to show. It was evident that I was getting tired so I went home after the 7th card. But nonetheless, it was a fruitful training session. Yah, I love air rifle.

Stressed is desserts spelt backwards

Thank God for His wonderful grace, I've managed to survived 5 weeks of school, stress has really set in now. It's much more than what I experienced in Science but still coping fine.. It's kinda of a positive stress so it's actually driving me rather than impeding me to do my work.

tutorial overload

I need help.. Tutorial fatigue has set in, I'm now bushed with all the tutorial preparations.. Learnt my lesson of never ever put 4 tutorials in a day.. Definitely a killer, saps more time and energy than 4 lectures in a day..

Progress Report

Yippee, I've heard the inter-faculty games are coming just round the corner. Hope to take part in the Air Rifle events. Here's some of my training cards not that good but I hope to improve.

Fatigue overload

After a tiring evening of training, I went over to church at around 10.30 to help set up the open house stuff. The moment I arrived, I was impressly surpirsed to see onlyEdson at the YF booth, and only Huijuan at the SBC booth and they looked like they needed extra help. Being the only one there and unable to split myself into 2, I decided to help the juan as she was busy with the photos, leaving no time for the other decos.

Along the way, Tian En came and the guys/gals from the study camp came to help and voila, we managed to finish everything by 12. After a little dilly-dally-ing and fellowshipping, managed to grab some sleep at 2 am, weirdly enough, woke up at 7am!!

And well, dragging the zombie body to the open house, thank God that I lasted all the way till the end at 4pm and even later helping edson again when they returned from IKEA to set up the YF room until 10pm.

Tired me.. Slept straight for 10 hours till sunday morning and another 3 hours after choir today. Looks like I've managed to catch up the sleep and can sleep some more again tonight.

Air Rifle Day, Yippee!!

It's the day of CCA again. I'm so driven by this passion that every week, I can't wait for friday to come. There's just this sense of achievement every week after training when I have improved by a little or modified my techniques for the better. I just love this sport. Hope it doesn't changes my priorities in life. God is still 1st no matter what and studies 2nd.

In & Out, Here & There, To & Fro

Had a REAL annoying day yesterday from the moment I woke up till 5pm. From the minute I woke up at 8.30, I realised that I could not log in to NUS email. Then after that, I tried logging in to IVLE, the system said that my ID was invalid. So, I called Registrar's office, which then directed me to IT center because they said that this was an IT problem, so when I called IT care, they said that my account was de-activated so, they directed me back to Registrar because they said that they only activate and de-activate accounts on instructions from Registrar's office. And so, the whole day I was making calls in between the two departments trying to get my problem solved while also waiting for either side to help me investigate and solve the problem. Then on a call from IT centre which said that they found the email which instructed them to delete my account, and so when I whom upon contacting the sender of the email (who was part of the Registrar's office), my problem was solved immediately. But all these was done only at 5pm!!! Can't they have better work efficiency? took the whole day to settle one problem of mine!! Can't believe it, and I think they need better coordination between their departments.

Doom and Gloom

One more hour to my 1st test of the semester.. Dratz, can't wait for it to be over. This test is about 4% of my grade for the translation module so I have to score nice nice, if not throw away very wasted. Been slacking a lot on my QT, seems to me, I'm drifting more and more to sleep when I start doing my QT and can't concentrate on it. School work and other stuff keeps clouding my mind, looks like I need more divine help to clear my mind :)

Shan't talk much liao, time to study for test. Gloomy day outside, keeps wanting to rain but then doesn't. Long day for me as usual. But I like tuesday as 3 of the modules are my favourite modules. No matter how tired I am, I'd never switch off during these lectures.

Yummy

I am totally mesmerised by this phone. It looks so tasty and nice to the eyes.

YIKES!!

Wanted to snuggle in bed this morning as it was quite cooling, but couldn't as my sister had tuition at 8.30 and with her awake, none can be asleep.. Hee, :) Today was kinda fruitless as I only touched a little on my translation module's readings. Haiz, lazy me.. AND I totally FORGOT that there was the giving of invitations to the church's open house next sat at 1pm until Preacher Ngoh called me to see if I was going, so I told him I couldn't go.. Crapz, I felt so guilty that I took a quickie lunch and rushed over to S'goon North to help. Turned out that there was only 9 ppl (only 3 youths) there to cover 20 blocks so it was a good thing that I went. Darn, I gotta work on my responsibility.. getting quite irresponsible nowadays..

Tired..

It has been a tiring friday. I guess it's because I caught only 5 hours of sleep the night before. Shall not talk much.. nitez
