Contented enough. We'll settle for second then (in Nationals and South-zone), an improvement from last year's third. But we could have gotten first.. First if I had not screwed up and pulled the team down with my score of 347. Not that my team blames me for it, or that I regret shooting this badly. I have no regrets, I think I've done my best for what I could have today, and I'm perfectly fine, its just a waste, not being able to win team gold at Nationals, among all the JCs because we lost to NJ by 1 point. But its okay.

Good job to all of you girls, I'm so very proud of you. The pressure was on especially after we received news that the Pistol Men's team won 2nd at Nationals and team first in the South zone, which we never thought was possible because it contained the top schools like NJ and RJ in shooting (in fact, NJ, RJ and CJ are the only schools in the South zone), and NJ and RJ never failed to emerge top, but the pistol boys proved us all wrong yesterday. Although I was truly happy for the boys, I was afraid too, because everyone (teachers, coaches, and the shooters) expected my team to do well, or at least be the highest achieving team in the club. But I don't think we've let them down. Fantastic job, girls! Congrats Eunice, for winning Individual gold!

Special thanks to the helpers today for taking the time off and coming down to Safra at 7.50am in the morning.

Highlight of the day: CJC won RJC in pistol again today (like yesterday).

I won't complain.

CJC SHOOTERS:
Good job for all the hardwork you've put in, and time set aside for trainings (which are so very frequent), kudos to all of you for the good fight you've put up. Good job, CJ Shooting Club, love every one of you very very much! Everyone, every single one of you (non-school team included) are winners to me.

Stayed from morning till night. Dinner with the RJ people, Justin, Daniel Lau and Glenn (my neighbour) and Glenn's dad gave Daniel and me a lift back home at 9+pm.

Congrats to all the winners (more like those I can remember);
[NJC] Akshay, Gerald, Samantha
[RJC] Justin, Daniel Lau ( A Div Individual First)
[SPS] Bradley, Albert, Daniel Toh, Sameer, Jeremy Yuen (for shooting better than last year!), Dylan, Ted
[CJC] EVERYONE!

PS, APW please check the shooting board whenever you're free, I'll put something up there by tomorrow!

PPS, I hope you all like the chocolates!
