Accoustic
:Tuesday, December 19, 2006:
finding solace in accoustic music. Many of which comes from the game chrono cross. I dont' know why i like that game so much. Storyline isn't all that fantastic. Well perhaps the graphics were quite stunning to me when i first played it. Coupled with the music.. i think that's one of the best games i've ever played.
Listening to: 18 Another Guldov-Chrono cross OST
they're the best to listen to when you're alone and don't have anyone to talk to. OR training in isolation, for the matter.
well, i'm finding myself increasingly isolated. In school... i don't havem uch social life because i don't mix around much with the people there. I mean it's fine mixing around with the archery peeps... but at the end of the day.. you graduate... and slowly you stop contacting each other.
that said,
it's kind of disappointing that the YF is slowly turning from a fellowship group with God at it's throne... to a social league of 'christians' with socialising as their main goal, meeting under a pretext of knowing God better.
nothing wrong with being secular in terms of goals. nothing wrong with wanting to bond better with the YFers. but everything wrong when your focus is wrong. because God is not in your least endeavour. Because God is not the ultimate objective. Because we sacrifice scripture and doctrine and sermon for fun games and bonding. because we put sermon time in ONLY BECAUSE IT'S NECESSARY... because if the adults weren't around we would place importance on secular activity.
ultimately, there will be people who would be left out of all the fun.. especially those who are really here for the spiritual feeding. people losing their meals over this is the latest i've heard.
it's sad to see that we're becoming like the mega churches. Professional in everything. soon we'll be getting our own ISO certificate like them(like huh. what does a CHURCH need an ISO cert for?) we are truly guilty of not being able to glorify God in this small cell. we have not been effective in ministry, in evangelism, and neither have we been effective in preaching and teaching the word of God, so well understood that it sets our hearts on fire. That is one big thing to be guilty of....unfruitfulness.
let the christian take heed, for God will prune the unfruitful.

VICTORY!!!
:Sunday, December 17, 2006:
A resounding win. My first time in C division too.
though i'm still pretty sore about losing to TP in the team event. we only had one arrow each in the heavy rain... it's almost just random shoot and hope your arrow hits.. after all none of us have had prior experience shooting in heavy rain.
came home tired and drenched to the bone. Lost my NIKE bottle there :( so i went down to JP and bought a replacement on my way back. They only had black left but ah well. i'd have preferred white or red. :(
Lots of thoughts run through my mind. i'm dying to share this victory with someone but there aren't many who would be around to listen to you and be able to appreciate it. i mean.. share your joy of victory.
Was really edgy in the first three ends. VERY edgy. heart pumping and all. Shot way below par.
It was an impossible win. one granted only by God.
I'm still wondering how i managed to outshoot the rest by about forty points while i was shooting badly on at least 5 ends. Though it's also true that i underperformed during this competition.
anyway, here's my score:
30m, 80cm target: 329/360 (training score 330)
50m, 122cm target: 316/360 (training score 305 on par score 330++)
Total score 645/720
not exactly very glamourous scores but ah well. still got me a win. though this was kind of a small scale competition so i don't know if these scores will stand the test if the uni people were competing too.
