Today is a special day..It’s the day whereby all the ‘A’ Division shooting teams will assemble at Yishun Safra for their International Competition..It’s the day which every team is lookin forward to, especially after all their hard training..
As for me, this date used to be the day which I am excited about and yet also afraid of..cos it’s really tough to stand there all alone on the firing line..not only u have to overcome the tense atmosphere and yet u also have to face the consequences of every single shot u made..cos shooting is a sport whereby every shot counts..jus one or two points different could actually create a great impact on the overall results..
Anw, today i woke up quite early in the morning so as to make sure that I would be on time to support the Meridians shooting teams..The pistols guys were the ones going for the first detail, followed by pistols girls, rifle girls and finally, the rifle guys..At first, everyone was looking fine..However, once they were on the frontline, it was a totally different case..Some were still able to remain calm but some look quite tense up.. jus like how i was liked when i was shooting for the competition for the first time..lol..anw even though, i wasnt shooting tis time round, but somehow i jus feel as nervous as the teams..
As the competition went on, i jus sat behind on the spectators’ area to watch out for my fellow shooters..i was praying veri hard for every shots they made..cos i do really hope tat they will do well..After all, they had put in a lot of effort for this competition and i was once like them too, so i noe exactly how it feels if we were to fail to perform well..
However, things did not went on smoothly for the MJC teams today as we were meet up with stronger competitors this year..This is quite sad for all the teams..cos i had seen how hard they struggled to pull off every single trigger on the firing line..keepin their minds focus on every single shots..all of them had try their very best for today but the results was bad.. Everyone was lookin sad den..=( Some were blaming themselves for the mistakes they made..I was there feeling helpless too..dunno how to console them..
Most of the teams members den decided to go off first..Nobody wished to stay at that place except the girls’ rifle team..cos they were still praying for their veri last hope..which is getting the Zones Championship..that was the only thing they can hope for at that time..so i stayed on with them..we waited for quite a while before the final results were out..Luckily, this time round, it was a good news..The rifle girls’ managed to secure their Zones Championship! =D Finally, i was able see smiles on their faces again and i felt much better also..At least, this gave them some encouragement and made them feel less sad about not entering the finals (they jus missed it by 4 points..arghh..)
Actually, no matter wat, I am really proud of everyone today, especially the girls’ rifle team..I seriously think that they did well..It is jus that their competitors were too strong..So everyone do cheer up k =) Dun be too bother by the results..Anw it was nice being able to stand by all of u and supporting all of u today =) U guys put up a great fight! Let’s keep this spirits on as we are the Meridians Shooting team! =D
All the best everyone and hope to see u guys again soon =) anw dun forget it’s time to get on with ur studies too..haha =D
