on saturday night, i was informed that my sis and i made it to the next individual knockout round. we had to rush to get everything ready for the next day. we were so shocked. especially me, i thought that i wouldnt make it. nice surprise.
***
then on sunday, we went all the way to tbac. my hands were so clammy. i couldnt even eat. i dunno why i was feeling like that. it may be my nervousness. but i have always been cool. i just.. dunno. when we reached there, there were so little people. i kept thinking that it must be a BIG mistake. but after we asked one of the organisers. she just said most of them have gone out to have lunch. so we waited for an hour. repaired fletches using a jig. my dad checked my rank. it was number 8. hehex. surprise-surprise again. but i dunno out of how many, more than 27archers i guess. quite good. then i was paired up with a girl from temasek poly. i was supposed to shoot a score higher than her. if not, i am out. this is well, individual knockout.

there was one temasek guy who called me plaster girl. just because i put on a plaster. isnt that childish? but in the end, i beat the tp girl by a margin of 5points. it was a close fight. i was elated, i guessed maybe i went over the top. then i waited. waited..then many np archers congratulated me, like sara, jed, zhihao.. my parents said they looked surprised, like they didnt believe i got in. arrgh. anyway, i waited again. while i was waiting, andrew walked past and he wished me good luck. he was like smiling and waving thumbs-up. then the next match began.

that girl was very good. after the match then did i know she was younger than me by a year, but have been shooting for 3years. so much for me, 3weeks. arrgh. dun need to ask, i lost.

but i felt good. real good. i beat a girl older than me but lost to a girl younger than me. fair. i will work harder. just wait and see.
