Air rifle has come to an end for most of us (except xiwen that is). No more trainings, lectures by coach, skipping cultural lessons for trainings, crap sessions in the range, smelly jackets on fans, whistling, soccer behind the lanes, broken fishing lines, getting target cards stuck, "cease fire !",  spats over functional lanes and such. Hahaz. Thanx people. You certainly gave me loads of memories. Really glad that some of us got to know each other better this year, it was great !
 
Come to think of it, was joining air rifle the best or the worst thing that happened in your jc life ? To some, shooting is something that you have to do because you've joined ARC, but I think to most, it has become a love. A love which we have to give up, be it temporarily or permanently, while we pursue what we came to jc for, A levels.
 
Now we do not have investiture like the student council where there was closure, we just stop. Somehow I feel that we're left hanging in the air while our wednesdays and saturdays are unusually free. What has become routine now turned out to be, well, gone.
 
Time spent on CCA should now be spent on books but I guess this needs some getting used to. Used to find trainings some kind of obligation, something that needs to be done but not necessarily enjoyed but now I actually miss trainings. Though it has been a little more than a week since I last touched my rifle, I feel that I haven't touched it in ages. Did it ever occur to you that we might never touch an air gun for the rest of our lives ? If you don't consider taking it up next time due to monetary, time or practicality constraints that is. Hmmmz...
 
 Don't you feel like a part of your jc life just ended ? Now there's nothing much left to look forward to every week (except fridays and weekends). Anywayz, let's not focus on what we've lost but what we've gained from all this. =) Which is friends and lessons which we can incorporate into our lives. That, as what Mr Oh said, is the point of a CCA.
 
Study well people. =)

finally... all those trainings that we all have been training for, are going to surface.. all our hard work will not go to waste.. well... just to tell u all some psychology stuff that worked for me..

1st... u all must have faith and believe in urself that u will perform no matter wad happens.. deep down in ur heart... u will have to believe... just keep believing... and u can go on...~

u all think its like all crap.. but its the mental strength u possess that matters.. just try it tml.. i am sure that it will work

2nd... stay focused... concentrate... look at the sight picture... if its not clear... put it down... breathe slowly... ensuring that ur brain is full of oxygen... it helps u to gain a clearer picture of sight picture..

3rd.. no matter wad happens... stay calm... if u panic... *gone case ok~ so... as i had said... u just have to believe that YOU CAN DO IT OK... close ur eyes... breathe slowly... imagine that u are doing well... keep going.. and all ur obstacles will diminish... just keep believing...

well... good luck tml... remember... U CAN DO IT! :)
