A True Underdog Story

Setiawan, Singapore's 3rd Best Shooter, in Indonesia,
We had no reserves,
And i left home with a terrible terrible stomach ache.

Didnt seem like a good day for NCC Shooting Competition.

Seriously, we wasted alot of time.

Reached Nee Soon Camp at 8am.
Waited and waited and waited until 11.30, it was our turn to shoot.
And then 12pm ALL THE WAY to 6pm we waited to find out our results.

We actually wanted to go home.
Perhaps god was testing us?
But we waited, somehow, we were ranked 2nd overall in points.

And yet we had to wait til 7pm until the Central Finals began.

It was a team-based game.
Falling Targets.

4 shooters,
12 targets,
24 rounds,
6 rounds each.

Shoot down all targets as fast as possible with the number of bullets you have.

7pm

I tell you i cudnt see a single target.
Ok maybe i could.
But once i aimed for too long
it seemed to disappear from my vision.
Well, i had 6 rounds,
i onli hit 1 target.
Pathetic, but Luqman, Benny and Kai Yuan covered up for me.
We had onli one target left standing,
and the opponent, Yuying Sec, had 4.

But the real test is on Thursday,
as we pit against the best of East and West districts.

I, who have pulled the team's score down, shall use tomorrow
as a day to find the way of shooting and master it.

Something like dat.

Well, there u have it.
Sometimes all u need is just some pride and faith.
It was because we endured through that long wait, with GESS in mind.

Central District top scorers.


NOBODY EXPECTED IT
