range

finally came back from range. it was just so freaking tiring. had only abt 10 hrs of sleep in the 3 days. came home on fri nite and slept all the way till sat afternoon. and the crap food they give there gave me diarrhoea. how pathetic it can be. next week still have 12km route march followed by field camp!!

at the IMT, my results are not bad. when it comes to the actual range i am actually a bobo shooter. my day range is still ok, just that i cannot shoot well when it is prone unsupported. dunno why also. then when it comes to night range, it become worse. for the first day, during nite practice. i miss almost all my shots!!! then on the 2nd day test, i somehow managed to just pass the range. then the 3rd day day range test, results are also just ok. the good thing is that my rifle did not have much IA, only got once, where there is no feeding. suspect it is due to the faulty magazine. some ppl have IA almost every time. then it is super suay! talking abt suay, i also have my suay moment. got once i was sitting under a table, then i stood up and crashed my head onto the eduge of the table. now the bump is still on my head. the worse thing is that whenever i put on my helmet, it was press on tat area and it is fucking painful!! i am so glad that range is over and i need not go back to that pathetic place to sit down there and wait for my turn to shoot.

and now that the govt has decided to built the casino, not one but 2! i was wondering, can singapore support 2 casino?? and there seems to be too much restrictions regarding entrance to the casino. one of which is the $100 entrance fee. many people feel it is ridiculous. spend 100 just to get in?? if for me, i rather take the 100 bucks to go to genting and i can alreadly bet like siao! i am not a siao on gambler, so i think i just go for the jackpot machine. i admit i have no luck. i only won one lucky draw for some cd that i didn't even go collect. another lucky draw is during sec 2, where is 'won' the lot to go ATC in ubin. then when i went to korea, i went into the casino in the hotel, actually i am illegal to go in then, i lost like 10 sin dollar in jackpot machine. but that is spending money to entertain myself. never try jackpot before what, so go and try loh. whereas my father had luck. he still managed to win some money through jackpot. that why he is a gambler. the good thing is that he didn't gamble as much as he used to once i was born into the family. so is gambling addictive? i think yes. when one win some money, he wld think he wld win more, so he gamble more, with larger stakes. and another rule the govt imposed that i heard on tv is that one can ban his or her family member from entering the casino. seriously, when one wants to gamble, there are lots of other revenue to gamble. and sporeans are alreadly gambling through 4d, toto, soccer and all these shit, so with a casino, does it makes a great differece? with a $100 entrance fee, if one do not pay for it, he can always go to genting. the bus ticket alone won't cost even 100 bucks. now that the govt has decided, no point aruging over it. and i hope the integrated resort wld offer something good, not something that wld die and collapse within 10 yrs.
