Missing archery...
Nak ubatkan sikit rindu tu, tulislah some lessons to draw...
Archery teaches us to always have our target/goal in sight. If I blindfold you, it'll be hard to hit the target unless you're really very pro or it's really just sheer luck.
You know, in archery you still need the equipments before you can start. Definitely you need the bow and the arrows and the target board. Not to forget the arrow catcher sheet and the armguard. This shows that before you do something, you must first be equipped. Not only equipped with the necessary tools, but also the necessary knowledge, cause if you have no knowledge, you can easily hurt yourself as well as others, and most likely you won't hit the target.
In archery, we see that we can hit the target at any angle from the board (your body has to be 90 degrees from it though) as long as you are not behind the board or something, which shows that as long as you have the target in sight, you can hit it.
I remember my first time doing archery at Aljunied. If I'm not mistaken, I hit the board! Because I was equipped with the tools and knowledge. After a few tries, I hit the center mark beb. Such a satisfaction I felt! Well, this just shows that sometimes we miss our target. Most likely it will land nearby though (still on the board within the radius of the center mark). And if you never give up, you will hit that target one day..
