Post #110! I have no idea why I’m keeping track of these.
Anyway.
Archery was blastedly cool except for the fact that the only way to reach the roof terraces at the third floor was to use the lift as there was only 1 staircase and it was locked. Then we went up and we got 6 people to 1 bow and surprisingly we didn’t get a lot of instruction since it was easy to pick up and learn.
The dislikable part about archery is that it falls under the category of things that you’ve always wanted to do, but quickly turns tedious/unexciting after one or two tries. Yeah, the middle 3 fingers on my right hand are rather sore now. Looks like I can’t engage in my favourite activity any more. WRITING.
We had a mini-competition where we had to shoot targets at about 18m. They were probably the size of your monitor. Hitting anywhere on the target itself gave you 2 points, hitting the paper gave you 1 and hitting the board gave you none. We lost in the semis blargh.
In the semi-finals and finals the teams had to race to see who could pop all 5 balloons tacked onto the board first. They weren’t allowed to shoot more than one arrow per person until the whole team was done. I distinctly remember rooting for the girl team who managed to win although they were at 1 to 4. One of them (Adelyn I think?) did very well haha. They got second place in the end though.
Wang Ce, Boon Yu and I were mimicking Steve Irwin at the back and going “G’day mate!” “That’s a fiesty (FOIS-TEE) one!” “This is the venomous King Cobra. It has enough venom to kill twenty men. I’m going to touch it!” whenever anyone shot an arrow IT WAS HILARIOUS
Music video sabs tomorrow! Can’t imagine how it’ll be like.
