an add-on to NUS outdoor

yoyo ppl

haha a small little add-on to mr owa's post who left out a lot of impt MaNs.

great job too to the standard men Khairul Rusydi, Lim Fang Kang and Wee Wei Liang Dylan for coming down MaN early in the morning and shooting even with the CTs n all, and for staying to watch some of the C class ppl poke holes in the middle of the 50m target face.

congrats to Tan Kang Rui for his first compound shoot, and may his scores jump astronomically in the next one :D

great job also to the girlz (alanine, [specimen] and dylan's gay partner) from RJ-A, and i believe their seedings and CHAMPion medals were due to much more than destiny :P and thanks too for making noise on request in our last end v PPCC lol

let us also not forget Chong Jia Hao, a member of our dear RJ-AlUmNi, who shot in the same lane as the jambiMan and got his team silver medal with PPCC

and on a side note, thanks to all the j2s + faciliators + j1s + rj-alumni ppl who dropped by for making the past 3 days such an enjoyable time! :D

gd luck and gd mugging to all the j2s! dun shoot all X for CTs pls :P

NUS Outdoor Open 2007

The sun scorched the ground as NUS opened its doors to the multitudes of people who came to spam the open doors. The open house itself was not really that MaN as we thought with all the random stuff along the way, the school of computing, school of business, school of law etc etc.

Ok enough about the open house and we shall move on straight to the great competition in the great open fields if the NUS University of Singapore where the nearest toilet is like 400m away. First things first was to check out the GooDie Bag. Inside theres one MaMee, one newater, one packet of cheese rings, some eff magazine and $20 beauty voucher (wad the man). Waah , all the stuff above dam cheapskate… well except for the last one which is A SHIRT. Wow, for the first time ever, there is finally a shirt in the goodie bag which we have been waiting for the past 7 competitions at least to no avail. The shirt design is a bit the screwed up anyway with a small NUS indoor logo and a back full of sponsors. Some history about the competition as well – NUS and NTU, the 2 great universities in Singapore will take turns to organize the outdoor open shoot every year and the Inter Varsity Polytechnics. For this year, NTU is organizing the IVP while NUS organizes this outdoor open competition. Seems that there is an agreement between these 2 great universities.

The Standard Men were simply ending off their final shots when we came and it was the usual set-up bow and relax, talk kok as we wait for our round to start. Apparently the lunch today came form the same caterer as that of NUS indoor last year with the same trays, same rice, same fish, same chicken etc. The list seems endless. Aiya its just the same la. NUS got no variety. Not such a great university after all.

Stop crapping around and we shall go straight to the shooting itself. The first round was the great 50m 122cm face round. Things went by rather fast. Personally was a little shaky at the start( literally) but in the end was quite ok as the earthquake ceased, so not that effed. Finally can shoot with the mind straight during a competition though I shot too many 7s for comfort. The rest seemed to do fine for the 50m as well with rather ok scores and no one really MaN screw up. Quite zai.

Then came the great 30m 80cm face round and of course it is much easier to man the yellow from a nearer distance. The round somehow went by very fast as well. Some people angst that their 50m better than their 30m while the rest angst that their 50m too suck compared to their 30m. Kangrui also performed quite well for his first competition even though he is angsting. Aiya no point angsting la, the boring individual rounds are over and now it is time for something more exciting which is the great TeaM EvenT.

The teams and seedings are as follows:
Round 1
RJC - HELIX – Ongnardo (Inferno), Christopher(Black), Aaron(Gold), seeded 5th going against NTU.
RJC – BOYS – Si Rui ( MaTriX), Aswin ( Black Masters), Marcus ( White Masters), seeded 6th , going against Ngee Ann Poly.

RJC – A (Masters/Exco) – Annalyn ( White), Natalie ( Black), Hwee Juin (Red) seeded 2nd going against NTU.

RJC-HELIX had quite an interesting round. The first end both teams suck, after which we seemed to be equal a for the next 2 ends and at the last end we got a little higher than them. They also got quite a MAN score however. In the end, RJC – HELIX beat NTU by a grand total of 1 point in a moment that can be best characterized as “Cheers”.

RJC- BOYS had an easier time anyway as the totally PwNed the Ngee Ann poly team easily even though they are higher in terms of seeding with a very comfortable margin of 10+ points. It seems that RJC – BOYS simply just on fire and owned them.

RJC – A. Nothing much la. Pwned NTU without much effort. They can miss 2 and still get through. Theirs was straight finals somemore.

Round 2

RJC – Helix vs. Singapore Poly
RJC – Boys vs. PPCC – Boys

RJC – Helix now faces the toughest challenge as they face up with the top seed team that includes the individual champion De Rong. Their individual scores pwnz ours but in the team event somehow things went our way as we shot normally while they went off-form. It was quite a quick and simple match and beat them by 8pts.

RJC – Boys on the other hand had a harder time as PPCC was on fire that round and shot a MaNly unbeatable score and our boys lost to their boys ( including that jiahao) by quite a lot of points.

Finals

RJC – Helix vs. PPCC Boys
RJC – Boys vs. Singapore Poly
RJC – A vs. NUS

RJC Helix now faces the task of vendetta for knocking our boys out. Haiya wasted, if not could have been an all-RJ final and we can simply lalala and eff around. Well, was not really meant to be and in the end we face these boys instead. The first end totally pwned. And so in the 2nd end gave some mercy by shooting an M in the first arrow but somehow the rest average 9. Somehow the ppcc boys didn’t perform too well and won quite easily. Anticlimax, however, this proves that the HOYT HELIX is the BesT riser.

RJC Boys on the other hand face an angsty SP team who were the top seeds. They really shot lyk MaN and beat our boys as they shot 200+. Well, in conlusion the RJ Mens team event ws really an underdog story as we were seeded 5th and 6th only which was quite suck and yet managed to beat the top 4 seeds collectively. Great Job!

RJC – A. Nothing much again la. Somehow the girls just win lor. Destiny perhaps.


Well that somehow concludes everything. Quickly had a prize presentation before the sun sets and quickly packed up to go to Jurong East LJS for a much needed dinner after staying under the lan diao sun for hours.

Anyway here are the prize winners:

C Class Ladies 4th – Wee Jian-Ting Natalie

C Class Team Event Ladies 1st – RJC – A. Annalyn Ng Li-Ting, Lee Hwee Juin, Wee Jian-Ting Natalie.

C Class Team Event Mens 1st - RJC – HELIX. Ongnardo Wirateja Andreas, Han Ting Hui Christopher, Tan Jian Hua Aaron.

C Class Team Event Mens 4th - RJC – Boys. Teo Si Rui, Kothandaramaraju Aswin, Marcus Neo Ji Kwang.
