I'm back here to blog again, partly because I promised my dear melia to blog about yesterday (I also did think of blogging about it). Yesterday comprised of half a day of lessons. Was mentally drained during the lectures as I did not have sufficient sleep the night (or should I say morning?) before. By Chem lecture, I was already in a semi-conscious state, engrossed in my own world. It was as if I had just entered a parallel universe, where everything seems to be there but isn't there, everything seems normal, but isn't really normal. It's confusing I know but that was exactly how I felt as I wasn't myself. I didn't have any Chem lecture notes with me so I just took out my foolscap pad and flipped to a blank page. There wasn't any motivation for me to copy down anything as it'll be a total waste of time and sadly I wasn't motivated to listen as well so I began to doodle. Really got carried away with doodling and filled one whole page with drawings! I guess that sort of confirms the fact that I'm more artistically inclined, since I prefer to express my emotions through drawing instead of listening fervently to a Chem lecturer who happens to be my Chem tutor =x I was just having this foul mood yesterday which I myself do not really know the exact reason why but I guess it's due to a couple of factors.
After the dreary Chem lecture was training! Finally! haha. Training always seems to brighten up my mood. There's just this unexplainable and unfathomable connection between shooting and myself. I love shooting, I really do. Speaking of which, I really can't wait for the shooting jacket to be ready. I'm getting envious of the other CCAs that are busy parading in their own CCA jackets haha. Training today was 4 consecutive shots of 10s. That was a level below my previous target of 5 consecutive shots of 10s. Well, I'm a little proud of myself as I managed the 4 shots of 10s pretty well and Mr Ng did compliment my grouping and told me that I'm improving at the right pace (he doesn't want me to peak too early as I will drop in standard after I reach the peak). Well, it really is fast as next thursday would be NUSIS and I was slightly taken aback when I realised this truth as I seriously am not prepared due to the break from training during mid years. Oh well, I'm just praying that I'll attain my personal best during NUSIS next week although it may not be possible due to lack of training but hey, having faith is believing in things unseen and that's the only thing I can do now. By the way, Mr Ng bought us automatic rollers and brought them to the range with the help of our guys yesterday. All of us were really excited as it was a step closer to having our ideal range- air-conditioned with automatic rollers. Sad to say, the air-conditioning area has yet to materialise and we hope that with our excellent shooting performance during Nationals this year, we will be able to realise our dream. The rollers will be fixed tomorrow and darling melia and I will be going down to the range to help the guys fix them.
After training, promised melia to run with her so I got changed and we did run but not alot I guess? haha. After which, melia and LQ wanted to go bouldering so we went but the area was occupied by RocMoc people so we decided not to in the end. Dinner was also cancelled as a result of the small number. All of us then proceeded home and yesterday was one of the rare times I was allowed to go home by myself. The journey home was made extra special as melia walked me home from shool :) However, I didn't want her to make the extra effort walking me home as she would have to walk quite a distance plus her bag was a little heavy and she still had a shoebag to carry! As a result, I kept asking her to go home but little did I know that my words had hurt her as she wanted to walk me home. It's not that I didn't want her to but it's just that I didn't want to tire her out. Anyway, she walked me home right up to my doorstep and we chatted along the way. It was truly memorable and I promise to treasure yesterday's walk home :)
Upon reaching home, I was really exhausted and sat beside my bed, only to find myself dozing off. Went out for dinner and late night movie much later. By the time I ate dinner, it was 9 plus (close to 10) and I was absolutely famished as I had only eaten lunch at 11 plus. Almost felt like fainting already haha. Anyway, dinner was nice and I watched 'The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian'. The movie was really nice and I managed to stay awake despite feeling extremely drowsy. The action was really good and I found the war strategies really remarkable and I have just one word to describe it- 'cool'. It was truly cool, that battle part and I especially liked the part where the griffins carried the Narnians and the other part where Prince Caspian led the troop to knock down the pillars underground. It really is a movie worth watching so I urge those of you who like fantasy and adventure to catch this movie. Went home after the movie ended at around 2am and by that time I was totally drained! haha.
Yesterday was truly memorable and hopefully tomorrow will be truly memorable as well.
