A new phase of life.

25/12/05.A new beginning. A new beginning that I do not wish to have an end.
It will always be a memorable day.The fun and joy we share shall never fade away.Let it just be the memory only we both share and no one else.
Before we met,i hope to meet you,after we met,i cannot lose you.

Passion v.s Obsession v.s Craze.

I had a wonderful nite on my bdae with some of the bowling club people..Thanks for the ice cream cake! I love it!! We had bbq and im sure we all know how bad a cook some people really are..hahaa..But still we were safe from food poisioning.It was the first time i actually felt full after eating at bbq.bbqs usaully dont fill stomaches.. We played badminton and some weird table-tennis and tennis look-alike game.A huge table tennis bat with holes and a huge sponge ball and to be played in a badminton court.The balls flew everywhere.We ended up sweaty.I was soo exhausted that i had to share a cab home..I wondered if we have "stinked" the cab.I think we did :P It cost me only $8 considering the fact that i travelled from yishun to simei!
Next day,22/12,thurs,Mugged on my hw.Didn't achieve much. Boring life. Home sweet home.
23/12. Our last bowling training of the year. My thumb lost a piece of skin from bowling since mon.I was hoping that it would "grow" back before training..It didnt! I insisted on bowling.It hurts alot at first.I tried practially everything.From tape to plaster to powder.Nothing worked.Tape wont stay on thumb. Plaster was pulled out when i release the ball.Powder?erm...I like the smell..My milk powder.Milk scented baby powder.It does help to reduce the friciton a little.Pain was bearable.Training was fun as usual.Ms lim shifted me around the boards.Nothing worked out..so i went back to my orginal position. We had games and I cursed my ball for a while for not giving strikes in the first game,so it did buck up and gave me 3 strikes in my first 3 frames in da second game.Wheee! I love my Rampage!Keep going girl! (it's a she!).
We went for dinner at pasta mania.We sat outside and we placed our Bowling trolley bags outside in a row outside Watsons. A guy passed by and thought they were for sale.He picked up the bag and looked at it.We told him it was not for sale..He left feeling embarrassed..haha..$10 for a very filling and nice dinner. We went to the arcade and had some fun there. Unwilling but feeling tired,we went home.
Bowling is about focus,patience and hardwork in the right direction.It's the same requirements for acheveing goals in life.

Passion.It's burning.It's Bowling!

Bowling frenzy

I have been bowling for 4 days straight ever since wed.I had complete make-over in my playing style. I learnt the proper way of playing hook in 2 days from uncle razali. I was unable to get a proper hook after learning for weeks under ms lim. At first i thought it was totally my ball's fault. I was proven wrong. I went to uncle razali's pro-shop on wed and he taught me the proper way to hook.My ball was not drilled to give alot of hook,but it is enough for me.Sat was the YJC bowling alumni challenge.It was a chance for us to see how good or bad our seniors are.Only 6 of them went and 6 of us were there. They swept away the top 3 postions.They were very friendly too.Some are really good players too.We really have a long way to go.

Memories of 115

Today marks the end of the 115 chalet.A memorable 3 days which will be with us for life. On the first day when we reached the chalet,it was a little not what i expected to see.It was a 2 storey ,but it was really small.2nd floor was only a small bedroom.Everything was small,from toilet to living room to bedroom.Maybe that has brought us physically closer? Mr Sim p.n joined us for a day but a pity our beloved ct ms seah could't join us as she was sick.Hope she gets well soon! I brought my xbox there,although i was reluctant at first.I realised that i could put my xbox in another bag and carry it.I ended up with 2 bags.It was worthwhile,considering the fun we had together with the game "kung fu chaos"(I still hate the monkey with the bamboo pole) . We ended up playing only that game. First night's bbq was slow due to small fire we had,but we got some help from our neighbours. In the middle of the night, we(Me,Mad,Leo) took a mat and we went to pasir ris park hoping to find a spot to sleep.There were too many insects on the beach and we found a insect-less spot-->the road. We slept in the middle of the bicycle track.We had a long chat and didnt managed to sleep.We saw a couple with the guy cycling the bicycle along the quiet park,romatic huh?Not really.There was the loud indian music blasting from the bicycle.That however,broke the silence.I wondered if the girl would feel embarrassed going on such a date.Madina told me should she would be embarrassed.We understood why. At 4am,it became colder as the sea breeze came. We had no choice but to head back to the chalet.I slept for a hour before the rest started waking up and woke us up.I was too sleepy and decided to go home and sleep.A 4 hrs of undisturbed sleep and went for bowling training.Did abit of timing and footwork.I fell down 3 times.It sure will take some time to get used to it.The steps are too fast and the ball ended up uncontrollable. I couldn't get a balance too.The first fall hurt my butt badly and the subsequent ones,i have leant the techniques of falling,they were less painful.I went home to take a bath before returning to the chalet.They began bbq-ing again with the plenty of left-overs. I was disappointed to find out that Night cycling was cancelled.Some said $15 for the ENTIRE night was expensive and wanted to split into 2 groups,some of us were turned off by the idea.Some of us went bowling instead.The first time i watched others play and i didn't play.
At bedtime,i finally got to try out the bed.4 of us shared 2 single beds. I froze during the night.The blanket ended up with the other 3 as we slept.The thought of waking them up for the blanket didnt struck me so i tried to sleep with it.I ended up with a cold today. It was still a fun gathering for the last few weeks of 115!Few more weeks and we're 215!

Patience do wonders

T19 gathering yesterday.It was a normal bus journey there The bus was travelling at its normal speed when the driver suddenly went hard on the brakes.Everyone on board was stunned.The action as so sudden that the bus stopped almost immediately and everone on board jerked to the front.Someone dashed across the road some distance away from the traffic light.I didn't get to see who's the person.I saw no reasons for the person to dash arcoss the road this way.There was a traffic light a few steps away and even if he/she needs to rush,at least do it when there are no cars.Not forcing a bus to stop so this moron can cross.Maybe that moron wishes to die,but at least be considerate and don't affect others. Luckily the driver was alert,if not the POOR DRIVER will have to be responsible for killing a moron who wishes to die.Lesson learnt:Be responsible,if you want to die,don't affect others! My pity still lies with the driver.He was stunned for a minute and drove the bus very slowly.It was really an eye-opener for me.I have never seen a moron that stupid before!
When we arrived at the meeting place,we bought some pizzas and went to the kathib jetty.It was alot of the small fly.Some of the other's hair was their mating ground.We later went to bin's house and ate again.We played bridge and dai dee.
Woke up at an incerdible 8am today just to be on time for the bowling training at 10.My bowling was alittle haywire after adjusting my footwork.And i still couldn't adapt to it.It all went back to my old style when we had a game.Patience is needed in everything,especially bowling.I tried to learn everything in the shortest possible time but it all ended up with nothing.
