A lot of students in jj are always getting rather poor results, and a 'small percentage" gets horrendous results. Sometimes i wonder whether is it the student's academic abilities that is the problem or is it the teacher's teaching capabilities or is it that jj students just don't study. I remember my chemistry teacher telling us, "You are responsible for you passing the subject, the teachers are here to help u get an A."
So, i guess it a combination of them all? Some people get negligent teachers...some can't catch up because its too 'fast' while some couldn't even be bothered to do anything about it.
For the part about teachers, while some are really good (which i admire them a lot), there are those who suck to the core of the core, and they also possess crocodile's skin to boast that their students do well. I don't know whether is it they are arrogant or plain ignorant, but its damn pissifying. I really can't imagine under what grounds did the admin allow them teach j2s, where it is the most critical of years. zzz
For those people who can't catch up or can't be bothered, i guess its time to pull your act together. Midyears will arrive in a blink of an eye and if you ain't prepared, you might be caught unaware. Heres a piece of my mind, don't depend on teachers. If your teachers are superb, good for you then. At least in the case where they suck, you won't get affected much. :/ Good luck to all. roger out

OOo, the anxiety sets in as the results for Project Work is set to be released tomorrow.I can't help but recall my group, which has the worst possible combinations with a chance of 1 in god knows what. Recalling how we screwed up during the presentation, I dread going to school tomorrow. I can't stand having to gather and listen to a talk while they drag the time. I could almost always hear my pulsating heart beat every so loudly with every passing second. Whatever the case, nothing's gonna change my belief that PW is one of the many major screwups from the MOE. It shouldn't even be introduced into the JC system in the first place. Anyway, good luck to all candidates tomorrow. Hug buddha tightly tonight.

Second round of trials. I did not even notice that that guy who gave me a "fantastic" impression did not get through. When he turned up yesterday, I looked for his name but could not find it. Alas ! He was not chosen for this, but Mr Oh happened to be there (dammit) and let him have a second shot at getting in. Pure interest ? yea hope so. Well, I would not comment on his attitude anymore, lest I get accused of slandering him. =X

In response to the lecture by Mr Oh on the CDANS results. Talked about what could have been but there is nothing we could do about it right now because we cannot change the past. Promises (?) about getting top few might not be kept because results on competition day can be absolutely unpredictable. About the thing about rifle boys not shooting well and the general arrowing on "bad" shooters. Well, there's no such thing as lousy shooters, just lack of practice. (That's what I think) Unfortunately, Mr Oh likes to judge people by their results which is quite unfair. But on the other hand, what else can he judge us on ? And about who's gonna shoot for competition, I don't think he should like, mention names right now or even remotely say who MIGHT and might not shoot. Totally misleading and demoralizing.

hahahz.. Have fun =)

haahahz.. It's Candice's birthday tomorrow !! May your wildest dreams come true and stay happy always ! hehehz... And most importantly, stay young at heart !! Afterall, you can only have fun when you're young. Please don't do that when you're old and creaking. muahahaz... Don't worry, you'll stay young as long as you hang out with the ar ppl. =) We are the elixirs of youth ! hahaz.. okok shall stop crapping.

- Happy birthday to Candice !!
by G!M @ 4/11/2004 09:22:00 pm

Today was a memorable day. Besides having to grace our loss @ the cdans competition and going to support those who have succeeded, I'm also impressed by the brillant performance put up by those shooters who went to shoot in the electronic range today. One fine day i might be the one impressing you at the electronic range. heh
What makes today truely amusing was rather, what happened after the shoot. Today saw the dawn of a simple plan masterminded by a sinister being. Since everyone else had no strong criticism about it and it won't do us any harm as long as it remains under HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL conditions, we decided to go on with it. The result? Whoa, its just too explosive, with sparks flying all over the place, shots fired at one another, insults hurled at each other and laughter bursting in the end. Want to know what happened? Its laser quest!!! HAHAHA!! (Pun intended, i know, i'm just being very lame. Who cares, i'm just too bored. Those who were there would truely understand the implications of what really happened :x)
Anyway, after we all parted and went about our own ways, I found out that its Candice's birthday tomorrow! Happy birthday girl! I could have imagined what we could have done should we have known about it. Tth would have stayed and the whole gang would secretly buy a cake to present a lovely surprise to Candice. I could almost imagine her licking the plastic knife with that gleeful look which was always on her face when she was happy. Of course, its much too late for regrets now, since its over already. If not, I swear we would have taken pictures on railway tracks. (I know its out of point..but whatever). Anyway, happy birthday and stay childish always! XD

Finally! A much needed break from school(currently posting from a friend's house...overnighting hahaha!)! Just can't stand school, its so frustrating, keep falling asleep even though i tried extremely hard not to. The air-con just provides too conducive an environment for sleeping...and the blue chair haha! Even in days when i sleep considerably earlier, i still fall aslp on the subsequent days.
How i wished i was there to witness the j1 trials and not go to that time wasting CMPB, where i witnessed some 'bigshot' aunties trying to defend their sons. I would rather have spent my time doing something unproductive, like sleeping. Its rather infuriating and irritating since they delayed the time by quite a bit and caused me to have to wait longer.Anyway, it'll be another long month before i get my medial classification. Oh how efficient is CMPB...
Anyway, i had hoped to had a glance @ my future AR juniors ( and maybe see if theres any noticable ones among the lot...which i can doubt so). I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that there won't be too many trials for the j1s, since it would mean less training for us j2s, which we desperately need at this moment of time. Anyway, hope that everything will change for the better after the holidays..so, happy holidays people! May the shot get the better of you.

- Holidays anyone?

The first trial is over ! hahaz.. The turnout was not very good though, expected more. Anyone knows why the turnout for this and fun shoot was so... miserable ? I think we had throngs of people last year during fun shoot, but now, it was rather slow moving and there were empty lanes. A lot of my friends who came last year did not come again this year. I wonder why.

Back to the trials, the J1s that were here, well, can be said to be quite genuinely interested in joining ARC. Think it's quite sad, to have people sign up and not turn up for trials (either they forgot, don't know or signed for the sake of signing). Saw quite a lot of people who had different attitudes towards shooting and am quite sad to say that though some have a positive attitude towards shooting (the eagerness to learn and the attentiveness to the instructor), they might not have the physical abilities to shoot properly that day. They had the potential given their attitudes but unfortunately we do not select people based on that. On the other hand, I had one arrogant guy (you probably heard me complain about this one) who had a rather bad attitude because he apparently cannot wait to prove himself and hence did not want to listen to me. I asked if he had shot before and he said about 1 year ago (1 year is enough to forget A LOT of stuff), I taught him normal procedures and stuff but he was impatient. Unfortunately,( or is it fortunately for the club?) he was quite good. His grouping was quite close but my impression of him dipped to a nought and am hoping to high heavens that either he does not get into the club or someone will teach him a lesson on being humble. Such a nerd, check out his glasses next time. Muahahaz !! Okok I’m evil... The range was practically empty most of the time, leaving us much time to slack, talk rubbish and have some fun shoot among ourselves. Ahhahaz.. Funz !

Happy holidays people !!

Lol, so much talk but sad to say, there still won't be much training scheduled in the weeks (at least this week) ahead. If only some people have as much passion to the cca as the shooters themselves have to shooting. (You guys know who i'm talking about..) Only then can the shooters get the sessions we so desire. There's really no point in having a hot, fiery, burning passion when there's no means of expressing it (in this context, shooting). As far as *ahem* remains undedicated to the cca, the dream of people saying "Whoa, jj's here" remains a rather distant prospect (I would rather they say 'whoa, weibin's here' though =p)

Fear naught! when there's a will, there's a way, somehow.... Zz

hahahz.. After reading those posts, can't help but marvel at all your prodigious talent in the use of English. wahhaz.. good good.. people will then be awed at the rifle blog (don't mind me calling it rifle blog =) somehow shooting blog sounds stupid and rifle and pistol blog is too much of a mouthful) and perhaps wonder if this is truly a rifle blog or English society blog. muahaha !!

It's about Passion. hahaz.. Passion of learning, passion of getting top grades and of course, passion for shooting. (there is also the passion of the christ though some of us can't catch it) Well, perhaps not all of us have the passion to shoot, but I can safely say most of us have. Not just for the sake of gaining cca points, I guess many wants self-improvement. But really, all we gotta do now is to train like never before, with this newfound passion, so that we can shoot beyond what we are now. Soar above the rest ! I totally agree with xiwen's vision, to have people say "whoa JJ" with the tremor in their voice. No, not because the range is freezing or have a fishbone stuck up their throats, but with a certain apprehension and trepidation. With the possibility of JJ giving them a beating and the stress of seeing our serious and intimidating faces. (please don't act professional and misfire though) What ?! CJ with their "garang guni" gear beating us ? haiz.. But no matter, there are other competitions. Yes, not just between other schools, but within ourselves, to get to represent the school. This should be stressing enough yea ? So let's get about improving ourselves and not just care about that score which comes with every shot.

Right now I just feel like shooting. Don't know why. Will rather have intensive trainings than to stone and get lousy. For those who shot on Sunday, please do not be too sad, or think of what could have been. Disappointing things happen but yea, they're part and parcel of life. ahhaz.. I'm not gonna philosophy about life so don't worry. So all the best and may u all shoot better than what you last shot !

I wonder what our new juniors will be like. ahhaz.. Cannot wait for rifle camp !

Yes yes...all that silly banter and pieces of crap boils down to one thing. WE NEED MORE TRAINING!!! (And btw, i never knew that tan te is capable of such bombastic english, if only you could use them in your GP essays, or did you? XD)
I guess its kind of distraughting to always have your standard then drop below your expectations during competitions, but i think its what u get from it that matters. For me, i learned something new about handling my rifle. Did you? XD
Oh and btw, does anybody else read this blog?
