Shooting Cars

Wednesday, October 24, 2007

You may think shooting an arrow for the first time through a target is easy, but I can assure you, it ain't at all. My class had archery today. I was totally geeking out about it because for the first time in my life, I get to relive my favourite character in the Lord of The Rings movie: Legolas...Woooooooo. It turns out that holding the bow and aiming at the yellow circle(the most inner of all), wasn't easy as it seems to be.

It turns out that I'm a very bad archer. Even though I have the power, I kept missing the yellow spot. Several times, after I released the arrow, the string hit my left arm and now it has bruises all over. My muscle ached too. Haiz, I shouldn't had arm-wrestle with Ron yesterday..Damn..

The instructors say that when you're firing your arrow, we expose our inner self to them. It's kinda true. The way we stand tells us if we are discipline or not and if you're talking while shooting, it tells use how easily you can be distracted and lose your focus. And the main point of this Archery program is that if we have self-control, focus and discipline, we can actually achive our goals. Yes I know, preachy...

Abad, Zhao De and Xiang Chou came to my house today and we played Project Gotham Race 2, PGR2 for short. LOL. It was totally fun and I enjoy playing with them. Xiang Chou is getting at it but he is nowhere near as me. :D I just need some time to familiarise with the tracks and I can win Xiang Chou! Woots! There was this time when Zhao De crashed his car and I overtook him with style. Because his car was in the middle of the road, I had no choice but to cross him by driving OVER his car. He starts going "NOBODY OVERTAKES ME LIKE THAT..." and tries to distract me. We were gawfing madly like idiots when we saw what happened in the game.

Zhao De and Abad left first. Xiang Chou stayed til like 6 plus and we played very lame games like trying to topple each other's chinese chess set pieces out of the board. It was a very fun afternoon and a great day for me. Arghh...I hope my arm can recover faster...Bye!
