A short update

Did some things over the past couple of days.

1. Sat for the GP and General Studies in Chinese common test on Friday. Let’s just say that I’m probably going to perform as well as or maybe a worse than what is normal for me.

2. Went for bits of the archery camp. Had the experience of eating two servings of food for dinner (I’ve never been to a camp in which I didn’t eat more than the average person), and four roti pratas in the middle of the night (which Bing, a nice big J5, and Kay Hian, a nice small J5, bought back from somewhere on this island).

3. Went for a CIP activity involving distribution of food supplies to some needy families. I’m convinced that inflation stinks big time in a non-welfare state like this authoritarian militaristic capitalistic oligarchy.

4. Went to shoot after that.

5. On Sunday went to some corner of this island far from civilization (actually an army camp where innocent young men are punished for being born to people who generally support a regime which bases its strength on violation of human rights) for an archery competition. Somehow or other managed to clinch team first position, working in concert with JinJin and Zhanming.

6. On Monday after a short day due to timetable swaps went for lunch with Chikako-sensei. Worked out some preliminary plans for my three-week sojourn in a free land with terrible working conditions. Looks like I’ll be spending a lot on state-of-the-art rail transport, but she still rocks. And her parents too.

7. After lessons today (apparently Chinese was cancelled and I wasn’t aware) I popped down to the range, and shot a lot. And also confirmed a roughly 2-thousand local dollar equipment order. And I got a new fingertab (made in a great nation somewhere to the North-east).

I’m gloating.
