YA's update:

I've achieved my marksman 2 weeks ago during range!
I did try really really hard and I was glad I did not give up when there seemed to be no hope left.
I missed so many shots during earlier stages that every shot counted in the later stages! 
Worse still, the last stage was a standing shooting position, where I was the most unstable in. But with some good advice of my fellow friends and my shooting instructor, I managed to hit all targets.
The range I participated in was indoor. Compared to an outdoor one, it was free of soil, there were no mosquitoes, the toilet was conveniently outside the air conditioned detailing hall, it was free of gunpowder smoke and there was even a viewing/learning gallery where you could view the firers 5 metres away. There was no ninja van but there was a canteen which served mostly soft drinks and oily fried food. OH guilty joy!


Last week, I spent most of my time getting store items in order for an upcoming store check. I was busy as a bee, buzzing back and forth through the store aisles, lifting items, organizing schedule lists and maybe once in a while, power on/off the file server detachment. Even Jonah told me I was like a bee buzzing around the store bzzzz.

We also held Company cohesion that week in Vivocity mall. Activities involved rushing around checkpoints in the mall and accomplishing ridiculous/fun/embarrassing tasks to earn credits to spend on handicraft materials to build a miniature fort. Lunch was awesome, pizzas for everyone! Many photos were taken, many with my spastic faces too, I really ought to take a proper picture sometimes, but its too fun. As we were having cohesion, I noticed large groups of uni students taking the tram to Sentosa and wonder if I will be in such a group in a year's time.

Next week, I'll be attempting IPPT once more and hope to clinch gold once more. 




Goals:
-pass store check 
-IPPT gold 
-take basic theory driving test
-sit a SAT for physics/chem
-save money for a earpiece and a linen shirt, each costs around $50.
