Not much longer.
30th November 2011.
And we're already entering the last month of year 2011.
How fast is that.
How fast is that.
Same feeling every year.
Same thoughts.
But at the same time so many things had changed in the past year.
Training last Friday was alright.
Watched Puss in Boots last week too.
Chandan finally went to Brunei to find Andrew Sir.
Block leave ended with me not doing anything much constructive.
Only booked in yesterday afternoon to prepare for guard duty at night.
Was so 'warmly welcomed' by everyone who had not seen me for more than a week already.
Shagged out after guard duty, then booked out today afternoon again for training.
Did okay for training though, back to averaging around 528.
Should I say that I'm consistent or what?
But the time I dropped to 519, I shot 518 three times in a row before improving again.
And even though the total score seems consistent,
there had been many screwed ups in my series.
I can shoot 87, 88 etc for one competition,
then when I try again I might go up to 92 but also with series as low as 84.
Shot 93 for a series for the first time today.
Twice.
And also shot 84, 85, 86 for three of the series.
Doesn't make sense that you can shoot so much worse for one series when you just finished shooting so well for another one right?
Well things just happens and it's all in ourselves to control them actually.
Shooting is a sport I can say that I'm interested in,
but I can't think of any traits within me which fits it at all.
With low amount of patience and pure laziness,
I think shooting almost totally contradict with me as a person.
Experience tells me though, that, if you really do want to do well at something,
or desire a certain thing that much, you will somehow be motivated enough to work hard for it.
Work freaking hard for it.
If that does not happen it just means that you are not wanting it strong enough.
If that happens, I don't think there's any obstacles that can stop you in your way anymore.
If you truly want something, go work for it.
Not many training sessions left actually.
And considering the fact that we won't get to shoot for two weeks before the competition,
we can already see how screwed up it is gonna be.
And we still haven't seen the official rules for this competition yet.
Got a certain weird format for this shoot.
And with our men enlisting next Thursday, I don't even know if I can participate in any of the December training sessions.
Hope our CSM is nice enough though.
He should be.
Right?
Shall try to rest up tonight since there's a full day of training tomorrow.
Gotta try to maintain my consistency and
at the same time correct all my mistakes in order to improve further.
Other than that, it's another off day on Fri and I'll only be booking in again on Mon morning.
Guard duty again next Tues and also another training.
Haven't spoke to CSM about December training but then again
that's because I haven't actually seen him for so long already.
Well let's just take one step at a time.
We are all in one way or another all worried about next Thursday anyway.
But then again, what can we do?
Shall just try to settle myself down in my new bunk quickly first.
Shall just try to settle myself down in my new bunk quickly first.
My bunk which I'll be staying for the next one year until I ORD.
And other than these, with one month left in 2011,
I hope that everyone else and I would be able to complete what we set out to accomplish at the start of the year.
Your New Year Resolutions or any wishes remaining to be fulfilled.
Good luck people and let's look forward to the much feared year 2012 soon.
Byeall.
