so began the day of team events.
mrt-bus to nus. setup. then stone till the rest of the pple came. anyway. team rjc-1 was to compete in the team knockoput today. and who were we shooting against in the first round? the top team (ntu). oh joy. so. registration. then captain's breifing. then shoot. then get eliminated in the quarter finals. right. then watch open and compound!
we concluded that bensen and henry could cheat suring the team event. lol either of them could shoot twice. but whatever. compound team event was most interesting. we observed someone who's draw is more exotic than mr ks'. (video later) then there was the pro man shooting x-10s with his compound while everyone else was using uber fat arrows. then! it was time for standard class team finals! maris stella (on fire! they were the 7th team to get in to the 8 team knockout) vs. our dearest ntu which kicked us out in the first round. ahem. quarter finals. surprise, surprise.. ntu won. but only by a little bit (apparently).
then what? watch open team event! PPCC owned all haha for first and second placing we had PPCC vs PPCC wow. and of course mr + was present to watch ppcc vs ppc. ppcc won. surprise. (and my camera ran out of batt)
and so the shooting ended. lunch time! (or so we thought)
pack up, take down bows.. visit the toilet and come back for the long awaited expected buffet lunch to be greeted by.......nothing~! wow. fantastic. now what.
stone lor. think of creative things to do. try to take a rjc team photo of 3 very sian people then admire a certain blue riser... sleep.. stone.. try to study... have AS (antisocialdevice) party... watch the other archers do random things.. sirui and I went to look for sdomething to eat (breakfast) and we ended up eating pratially frozen pau from cheers. (wow! char siew ice cream in bread!) ingjie tried to get anyone and everyone to play chapteh to the horror of the organizers.. ("please refrain from playing in the hall")so in the end we were sitting with random notes in front of us while listening to asd(s).
then lunch came. FINALLY. guess waht it was. not buffet no. not fired rice. not duck rice. it was....drumroll..... da bao fan! woww (you mean we waited so !@#$%^&* long for THAT?) ok but anyway. it wasnt that bad. (but it wasnt that good either) but whatever.
so lunch was over. waht can i say about lunch? it was most unexpected. but anyway. after lunch was the prize presentation. okay so the prizes were presented. then what?
go home lor. and thats what we did.
