After church today, we had the TCL (Teo Cheng Lock) bowling cup at east coast park, and yours truly, who was debating between doing work and going bowling, happily chose the latter...
The grouping system (the youths were divided into groups of four each) was more or less random in nature, but somehow, i ended up in a group with Felix and Eric, who both came equipped with their own bowling bag with a personal ball each, shoes, and that robocop metal glove thingy you put on your bowling wrist, i presume to give some added support to the wrist when bowling... (when people have their own bowling equipment - you can be rest assured that they're good...)
So, to cut a long story short, i ended up in the winning team... That has never happened in recent memory to any team that i have been a member of, in any sport whatsoever... Haha...
Of course, i was more or less pulled along for the ride by my fellow team members, but to my (limited) credit, i did do far better than the last time when i went bowling with church people (i bowled a game of just 18 pinfalls then), and even got my second-ever three-digit score [the first being a fluke years ago when i still was in sec three or so (which was like, seven years ago - boy am i old)] In the three games we played, i got a total two strikes and three spares, as well as a negligible number of longkang shots, unless i was aiming for a lone no.7 or 10 pin, which of course i could never hit... In fact, i could have gotten an even higher score had i used the correct ball in the ninth frame when i had spared the previous round, and had a score of ninety-something, but the unfamiliar ball slipped off my fingers prematurely, and headed promptly for the longkang... Lost momentum, and barely survived the remainder of that frame and the final one as well. So no personal best...
Bear in mind, i m not being hao lian in any way, just that it is so rare when i can actually say something positive about me in relation to a sport of any kind, even if it's of the comfy, air-conditioned variety, hence my excitement...
So what do i have to show for my team's triumph? GV vouchers... haha, fourth movie of the year, here i come...
