Current Interest

What I have been currently practising while waiting for Satuday music lessons.

It’s been a while since I let the little girl alone during the lessons. Let her deal with whatever it is.

Other than being her mom, I have a lot of things that interest me and I am quite eager to try, execute, and pursue it. Having quite some time during her lessons, I searched for a class and found this. Reasonable distance from music school with suitable lesson time.

I slowly moved from not being able to pull the strings properly to shoot quite well on the yellow circle.

I love the feeling of learning new things.
Being among kids around my daughter’s age who are more skillful yet it gives me some insight what these kids mostly talk about. I love being taught by them. A girl ask me : “Mau dibantuin?” (“Do you want me to help you?”) when she saw me having difficulty to pull out the arrows. Oh, I hope my daughter grows as kind as her.

There are very few other young adults too. I feel I belong more standing with this bunch than sitting with some parents on the side waiting for the kids.

Archery suits me in many ways.
It’s not loud.
I don’t need talking much to others.
Everyone is only focused on on their own targets.

It is similar to the reason Murakami writes in his memoir about running :
“Team sports aren’t my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don’t need a partner to go running, you don’t need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers.”
