Good Riddance To Bad Rubbish

Today marks the last day of my archery lesson and its a relief.

1) I dun pay to seat for an hour for every of my 2.5 hr lesson, listening to the instructor hard selling his lousy bows.
2) I dun see myself learning from a plain lazy, lots of fei hua, vulgar instructor who does'nt care abt teaching the right techniques.
3) The muddy shooting pitch has knee length grass n lots of rusty arrows amongst the grass.
4) The instructor n archery members try to psycho parents into buying n joining their "exclusive" membership - $144 a yr for the use of pitch(as mentioned in line 3) n $300 for a lousy plastic bow.
6) Did I mention that some of the bows notch r loose n the arrows fly to the side or at ur feet?
7) Everyone in the class is very displeased wif the instructor.

Daunt Feeling

I feeling like a deflated tyre. Low energy, hungry but dun feel like eating, very restless, impatient, obnoxious blah blah blah. The overall feeling combines to a low powered battery running on a high energy consuming device.

Arh... Its near the time of the month n my hormones r starting to go haywire.

Seriously, I hate oestrogen.

Lessons... Lessons

Surprise.. Surprise... After appearing sulky for my yoga lessons(due to mum's dragging me), I come to like yoga. The aunties r pretty nice n the yoga instructor is a totally patient n fun auntie!! Haaa! I never expected to hav aching muscles after the Yoga class( cos of lazy muscles), the nicest part was having to immerse myself in deep mediation for 10 mins( its considered a great accomplishment for a hyperactive person)

Move on next, was my archery class. The activity was fun but the sad part was the instructor is more interested in making business by forcing everyone in the class to buy the hand guard n finger guard juz at the start of the class; a whipping $35 n we are not allowed into the shooting range wif out the gears. (These things does not compromize wif the safety as instructor hav insist).

Moreover, he was loud n shovy n kept yelling (using words like DUMB N STUPID) at us to disarm our arrows quickly, wif out showing us the right shooting tactic(cos he wanted to show that we get to shoot as many rounds as compared to other instructors). There were some little kids around 5 to 6 n he gave them adult bows, which were a 130CM in height n expected them to shoot. Hello? Where is ur common sense? There r bows n arrows for kids ok? We r not DUMB. One of the kids got scare n cried, my instructor shouted at him " Why are u cry baby? So useless!" WTF! Bullying a child becos he's young?

After one hr into the practice, he juz disappeared n came back 1 hr later wif a kopi. Fortunately, there was this other assistant coach, who was millions more patient n taught us the proper standing poses. Damn the fat glutton,wanna eat away time.
If u all wanna hav an idea of how my instructor looks, he is the typical uncle butcher or bak choe mee assistant at the neighbourhood market.

can't wait for the archery lesson to end so I can move on to a new coach.

IT fair tips

Woo!! I'm a avid fan of the IT fair. Feeling frustated over the crowd n sweating in the air con? Here are some tips I would like to share

1) Try to go to the the fair early before 3pm if u dun enjoy "packed like sardines" scenerios
2) Wear covered shoes. Looking gd is a trival issue here n you ain't going to look gd when stomped in the foot.
3) Watch out for the squeeze n squeeze crowds. Their eyes r glued on the "best squeezed discounts" which includes squeezing ppl around the fair.
4) Dress decently. Skimpy dressing invites only more squeezes n eyes glued to the wrong discounts.
5) Eat cuttlefish when u caught in a squeezy crowd, breath though ur mouth. It helps to relieve human congestion.
6) Go to the fair once a day. Going in more than once may result in disoriented buying, more stomping in the foot n unnecessary scolding from sales personnels who r less pleased to serve u twice.

Finally, enjoy urself in the midst of the crowd. Thta's the art of Sporean fairs.
