TPJC Invitational 2007

Wow! What a great day. Played in the TPJC invitational in the afternoon. There was the same competition last year but only TJC took part in it. This year, a lot of JCs took part in it, with the exceptions of SAJC, RJC, and ACJC. haha the top 3 bowling JCs last year. lol.

Anyway, i improved from last year's competition. During the beginning of the practice throws, i was like still wearing my bowling shoes. xD lol i'm like so lag. haha. Anyway, thanks to yesterday's training i found out the mistake i made on Good Friday when i bowled with my family.

Well, today i bowled on the exact same lanes at Tampines SAFRA which are lanes 5 and 6 as on Good Friday. That day my highest game was 135. =X Horrible.

However, today I was a lot better and well, got games of 175, 152, and 163 to get an average of 163.3 over 3 games. I got 24th position out of 96 for individuals but unfortunately, my team only managed to get 19th out of 24 in the quartets. But 3 cheers to Rodney, Qing Hui, Gerald and Billy who got 3rd for the team event! =D lol

After the 3 games, i looked at my bowler's statistics and realized i got 4 splits in 3 games. wow. that's slightly more than 1 split per game. shucks. haha.

Well, during the competition, I was trying to match the first CJC bowler on lane 6(next to my lane). haha, well, i managed to win him for the first game and last game*phew*, but sadly his second game beat me a little too much in the overall, so well, he won me in the end. lol. haha but the CJC people were pretty friendly though, and there's a 'shouter' amongst them, keep shouting haha and that guy was bowling on the same lane as me. haha. I will say the comp. was fun on the whole. =D

yep. So i'm going to end my post on this note and cya!=D

2007-02-23T13:50:00.000+08:00

Well, waiting in class for 3pm to come so PDP will start. It is pretty boring here in class with almost no one else.

So there's NUS Open at Tampines SAFRA for me tmr, so hope my team wins! Or at least some other prizes. lol.

Just very bored over here. haiz... I have nothing much to say also, so i just hope that bowling later will be fun! and Bye!

Sorry for this super boring post.. =P

2007-02-14T18:12:00.000+08:00

Harlo.. It's Valentine's Day today! haha

Well, i seemed to not pay attention at all during the first 2 lessons of today, just couldn't seem to concentrate, and well, it was just some maths B data collection discussion and watching a LA presentation, so it was really slack. haha

There was the physics solar cooker exhibition at the end of the day, so didn't go for bowling today.. Before that some girls were like purposely trying to tickle the guys. lmaoo. Then after that we had quite a bit of arm wrestling stuff, but I forgot how it all started. Well, i drew with FX and played left hand against Joella, and I won. Ha. Ha. lol. The exhibit on the whole looks alright, except for some parts like the efficiency of our solar cooker being 60%?!!? and the black paper stuff. haha.

By this time, I thought nothing really interesting will happen already. Yet, CRAZY things happened during my bus ride home. Well between the 201 bus stop and TPJC's bustop, there were 2 people shouting and quarrelling very loudly in the bus, and the bus driver came up. I think one of them is in the wrong, as that person went off the bus while the other remained. Also i think that the bus driver called the police. Wow. I saw that in real life? But guess what? That's not all, at that very traffic junction, an accident happened, though I think it happened a while ago. Apparently, a taxi crashed into a motorcyle, and the windscreen of the motorcycle was totally smashed. Yikes..

Hmm.. It's rather good that there is not much hw these few days. shiok ah.. haha hope it will last longer lol. So, i think I'm going to end off my post here, bye!

2007-02-07T20:09:00.000+08:00

Hello people! Decided to post today before doing my work.

Well, we played some murderer game during civics lesson today, and for the first round, i got an 'Ace of Clubs' for the card i chose. Well, apparently in this game, that meant i was the detective. FangXiong was the murderer. ChangLong saw a glimpse of my head raising up when teacher called for the detective, and he 'psychoed' a lot of people that i'm the murderer, so that the game will end fast. lol. And so the detective (me) got killed in the first round. ha.

Oh yeah! My group is in charge of block 17 this Sunday for the newspaper collection(For your info, that's the shophouses).haha so slack, but that's why we have to help block 18 people.. =)

WooHoo! there's bowling today! yay! =)
Well, we started off with kneel down drill, with both straight ball and hook ball release, but apparently both had the same ball motion for me lol.
Second, we were supposed to do 10 1-3 pocket shot, followed by 10 10pin spare. Well, i did only nine 1-3 pocket shot, then skipped to the next one fun haha.
Then last of all we did a 4 + 1. It's normal bowling but you *pause* on the 4th step haha. and then do a 1 step lol. But whenever i saw coach not looking then i just bowled normal 5 steps haha.
haha and i like my current revs. Sadly when i was getting ready for my shot, the bloody lanes switched off. haiz... =O haha

Anyway i gtg bye! =)

2007-01-22T17:50:00.000+08:00

Hello everybody, it has certainly been a busy day today, and pretty stressful too. haiz.
Chemistry was the first period of the day and after we did some work and waited for some other group members to do their work, our group had a Talk-Cock Session (TCS) ahha fun. But my group members keep on saying (jokingly) that i was a gay!

Anyway, during physics, i believe that my group was lagging far behind lah, though i am not exactly sure if that is true.. hopefully not. ChangLong's group is like super duper fast man.
We had a 'surprise' Maths B test during our last lesson of today, though some of us knew it like during lunchtime or sometime ago. lmao.
Oh yeah! Today's FangXiong's birthday too! haha and our whole class sang him the birthday song, and he looked so shy? haha lol.

What i am going to say now has nothing much to do with what happened today, but i feel like saying it so.. yeah. Sometimes, why does life has to be so unfair? why can't somethings just go your way? It is like there are some stuff happening not to my liking but i don't truly mind, but why can't this particular aspect of my life just work out? It's like I just hope * will just talk to me like any other normal closer friend, but even that is not happening... It's really saddening sometimes to see somethings in life, so close yet so far.. (those who don't know, don't bother finding out)

Yeah.. anyway i have piano lesson in a while's time so i guess i'm gonna end this post here, bye!

2007-01-20T18:09:00.000+08:00

Hi, i think i gotta go off soon, so i will make this a pretty quick one.
Yesterday we took a class photo outside the Audi and here it is,

There was bowling training yesterday too, awesome. We started off with kneel down, 1 step, 3 step then finally 5 step. We were playing frames during the normal bowling, so, we were like treating the whole thing as a game lah. Then there was once i striked twice in a row, and was like joking with Alan that there will be one more strike for a turkey. Then i bowled, marvelous shot, PIANG! then the 10 pin shook like crazy but still did not fall. DUMBass. I was like grr..haha
Well, it was extremely fun on the whole for yesterday's training, there were 2 newcomers yesterday, then one of them was bowling pretty well considering if he is a 'real' newcomer. hah.
Slept at around 11 plus yesterday, woke up at 10.30am today, shiok ah, 11 hours of sleep. hhaa =P
Anyway, i went to Pasir Ris CC to collect my Edusave Scholarship today, though this year i got $300 only compared to my $500 i got for the past 2 years. haha. guess i have to work harder..
But this time round, it was not as boring cos there was Noel (AHS) sitting in front of me and we chatted away the time. haha and we were the only ones who kept on clapping for others. see, we are so kind, lol
Took a photo with Sly (looking rather dao) and my cousins (sorry, didn't add it in cos i looked horrible in it =P)

Well, going out to my Aunt's place later, so yeah that's about all that i will say in this post, till next time! bye

2007-01-16T16:52:00.000+08:00

Hellooo.. finally back you would say yeah? haha x) I was simply too lazy to type all these stuff out lah.. yep, i really am very lazy. haha ok so under the persuasion of people such as Cat, Serene and blah blah, i finally decided to type out this entry.

I was thinking of changing my blog skin along with entering an entry all at once (dunno for what reason), but yeah, you guessed it, i was either busy or too lazy. Anyway, we had mass PE lesson today, but there were only TA2 people taking part in it, cos the JC2 people were away at the swimming complex. So, today, the guys and girls had PE together and Mr Goh was in charge. So apparently, we (guys) already knew his routine, --> Run, Pumping, Situp, Talk lots of repeating stuff, and "You may off.". haha lmao, but i guess girls didn't know much about this so yeah.. lol i can't find any words to say.

Well, there's always homework to do.. so sian. I've got maths tuition later also. yep.

Bio students are all going to Sungei Buloh tmr for some field trip. Hope it doesn't rain..

I don't know what much else to say for now, so maybe i will just end it off just like that? ok so cya people, bye!

2006-10-22T11:11:00.000+08:00

POSTING ONCE AGAIN!!

Yo! haha people, i am back posting. Finally! haha

Just came back from OBS on Friday.. Quite fun actually, i got posted into WATCH Bo Seng, haha fun. It's like there's a party in my bunk every night without fail lah. X)

It was fun at OBS, though when we are doing some activities it may not be fun as it was pretty tiring. haha, but after that it was fun.

Well, supposed to kayak on Tuesday but weather was bad, so we kayaked only on Wednesday.

Guess who were the sea ex. leaders for Bo Seng together with Kurt? Peng Ho, Glen, Siddarth, Clarence. X)

Just after we went out to sea for like 5 minutes, before truly starting, Glen and ZuoQi capsized!! Oh my gosh lah. It's like they were one of the last we will ever expect to capsize, yet they did it first, Well Done, whoops =P Just kidding (anyway seawater IS NOT salty)

Well, we had our capsize drill halfway through our journey right in the middle of the sea, and after that we continued.. yeah.. Had lunch, well biscuits and water, haha, i literally POURED ALL the crumbs into the sea and left the plastic simply somewhere in the kayak =) haha fun.

We took a much longer route and had our capsizing drill on the same day, so by the time we reached 'cottage 1?' i dunno the spelling, it was super low tide and we had to go into knee deep mud, sick. Then after i got over the cottage? point, i saw some land which seemed less muddy, so i stepped on them, it felt slightly less muddy but still yeah. It was only until some people told me that those things on the part of the mud i was stepping were some weird insects, and i saw them moving (YIkeS! I was barefooted at that time) i was like freaking thinking, i seriously would rather be IN THE MUD, than on those sick stuff. lmao.

haha, we got like 6 kayaks over the cottage? then the instructor told us that the tide was seriously, incredibly, hopelessly low that we had to BACKTRACK!! OH man.

So when we got back on our kayaks in the water, and were finally kayaking once again, we got some SERIOUS amount of mud in our kayaks. COOL. That's the way. yeah sure

Got some sunburn, but seriously, NOTHING AT ALL compared to Clarence's. haha his OWNs man, some gay crap. 'Clarence hot thighs'. yepp lmao.

Hiking was ok, but we forgone quite a number of checkpoints, and Shimon and I were like having a 'Dropped Stuff Carrying Service' (DSCS) NICE. We started from one poncho to around 5 ponchos, 1 ground sheet and 1 blue top? (=P i dunno the spelling here once again) NICE HUH?lmao

But overall, i think OBS is fun, sure gives one some nice experience.. Yep.

Anyway, i am going out to bowl later this afternoon! haha fun lmao

Oh yeah, and i have to meet Tong cos i did card magic in school during open house, -.-

Anybody who wants to see card magic are welcome to find me! haha lol, but can't show it to you people in school anymore...

Till next time! bye!

2006-09-03T18:00:00.000+08:00

Hey everybody, posting again.. But this may very well be the last time i post before the exams.

Yep, so it shall be a quick one.

haiz.. fell sick, got a flu.. But i still went to bowl today though (bowling is fun=D)

Went with my father to Victor's Superbowl at around 1.40pm, but all the lanes were filled up due to competition and it will end only at around 5pm. So, of course, we didn't wait, but instead went to Marina SuperBowl which is just beside it.

Well, the price there - $2.50 for students (Cheaper than Victor's by $0.30)
- $3.90 for adults (more expensive than Victor's by $1.10 though my
father got a discount in the end.)
Haha. So in the end, both of us bowled 6 games each!

Well, i tried to spin with a house ball but yucks, i have to squeeze so much to prevent the ball flying as it is sooo oily.

Well, in the end i decided that to bowl well, changing to different styles just like that is no use, as the saying goes, 'a ROLLING stone gathers NO moss'. Yep. So i decide to bowl well, i have to give myself time to develop my muscle memory and should concentrate on my fundamentals and be patient to see results.

So, i am bowling a stroker game now.. and just concentrate mainly on fundamentals.

haha today i got games of 147, 168, 127, 106, 137.

Anyway for those people who keep on saying that i talk mainly about bowling, that's cos IT'S FUN!! haha xD

2006-08-29T20:33:00.000+08:00

Hey.. asked coach about whether i should continue spinning the ball.. He said that well, if i feel comfortable with it, maybe i should, cos that may be the style that actually suits me, no one knows. Also, cos i am not really getting delayed timing necessary to hook the ball properly. Then he says if i really want to change, i may have to change the ball (again!).. haiz.. change to a lighter and polyester ball for spinning.. But i already have 2, Tornado and AP! ahh.. and action packed is a hooking ball.. Well, for my OWN opinion, i feel that since i feel spinning is seemingly more comfortable, sooo i should continue spinning FIRST. THEN, I train on hook too.. yeah.. but for now i am not very sure on my final decision. But since a ball is so ex. so maybe even if i spin the ball now, maybe i will just use my Ebonite Tornado i guess. Haiz.. (Well, i know after some people read this first paragraph, they will be violently disagreeing.. i guess? ha)

Anyway, exams are just round the corner (peek) woahh.. so fast man. After exams it will be FUN! haha but that's a long time yet. Gotta concentrate on it now, gotta work hard.

Well, this is one of my favourite few quotes, "Sooner or later, the man who WINS is the man who thinks he CAN". haha just decided to put it here.

So.. just gotta BELIEVE in ourselves in times of pressure and stress. yep! Going off now. bye!

2006-08-27T19:58:00.000+08:00

Great Sunday!!

Helllo everybody!! Due to elective weeks, so my maths tuition today was cancelled and my father brought me to Victor's Superbowl to bowl!! haha yay! =)

Anyway, i did 5 steps since coach has already teached it. However, my ball can't seem to hook at all, and i was playing horribly. REALLY HORRIBLY. then, i decided to try out something -- since my timing tended to be more like a spinner's and my wrist is not really able to cup the ball, i tried to spin the ball. At first, it was not very good but after time, i realized that i preferred spinning the ball over to hooking it!! haha =) So i decided to keep to SPINNING!! and people who believe that hooking is the ONLY way to look great, and bowl well and feel good... haha NOW I SAY that SPINNING IS NO WORSE!! haha spinning really rock for me. I think and feel that spinning really suits me more. haha well at least i grasped hold of it easier than hooking the ball. hha

Anyway, gtg bye!! To next time!! spinning =)

2006-08-24T19:48:00.000+08:00

If you ever look at my tagboard, and if you ever see this person named 'jx', well it's not me. I want to make that point CLEAR. yep.

2006-08-22T16:45:00.000+08:00

LONG TIME NO POST!!

yo! haha it's been a long long long long long long long long...........................time since i last posted. =? haha

Anyway, today i saw some number of chairs arranged in front of the GO, so i reckon that it is the IP interview test as it was similar to last year's. haha WOW, a year has passed. that's very very fast!! Anyway, thought i could see who were coming for the interview, but when i went home, it was still 'early' as no one was there yet as i was told.

For Maths in Passwords, we were given a written assignment of something we just learned yesterday and the time limit was 20 minutes. cool that's like SO SO SO SO short. haha nvm. Other than about the elective itself, Mr Lim taught us how to lock a microsoft word document with any password.. uhuh! sneaky baby.. Now, locking people's important documents for fun will be FUN! Imagine their reaction, they go, "&#*$&% WHAT!!!! PASSWORD???!!!", and their face will be like screwed up. whoops =p

Ate Kaya Waffle and took bus 12 with Yuyang today. haha learned something (veryvery) interesting from him today.. hmm. Not literally learned something for application but realize something.. hhaa. You wanna me to say? ai yah.. He hai siu mah. haha xD I better don't say bah.. if not that will be so bad to him, and I'm a GOOD friend. haha

Well, to next time! GOODAY!

2006-08-13T21:11:00.000+08:00

TPJC invitational !

Well, in the end, I was still allowed to play since the competition has changed from competition between teams of 4 to doubles. So.. I was able to bowl today! =) haha

Actually, many other schools were supposed to compete but well... only our school seemingly DARED to take up the challenge. haha

Well, our bowling team was supposed to write our lineup on a piece of CLEAN white paper. THAT'S ALL. haha. Guess what, some of us drew nonsense all over the piece of paper after we had written down our names, and when the TPJC captain came over, he was like going, "WHAT?! Wo men hai mei you xie wo men de ming zi leh!" hahaha xD it was like so hilarious at that time lah, everyone was like laughing.

A few of the bowling team people were playing at the arcade and when they came back, Qing Hui showed us a photo he took of Billy looking at the screen of an arcade game (some photo selecting game) with supposedly naked women on it. hahha xD QH showed everyone and our whole bowling team was like laughing non-stop. hahaha =p it's really dang funny.

Anyway, for the 3 games series, i got a first game of 112, followed by 154, then a 133. Overall 399, average - 133. Is that good or bad? hahah i dunno.. but i certainly know i still have to pratice a LOT more. hahaha

All the girls were given 20 pinfall handicap!!! that's a hell lot man. 20 pins to your average. MAN! WOMAN! What the heck! hhaa nvm..

Well, for individuals our school took top 3.
1st - Genevieve Lim!! =)) (216 average with handicap - still SUPER UBER good)
2nd - Qing Hui
3rd - Rodney

Well, for me, i got 18th position out of 30 but well, there was 20 pinfall handicap to all the girls so, for a start, it's still ok lah.. but the next time i WILL improve. wahahaha

After that, i went for maths tuition and nearing the end, we were discussing about skyscrapers?!? hahaha XD but it's still fun, cos we saw the trigo worksheet with the Leaning Tower of Pisa on it, so we were talking about how they build skyscrapers.. something like that. haha

Well, i have to continue doing my work now. haah byyeyeyee

2006-08-12T11:18:00.000+08:00

COCKED UP!!! ALL COCKED UP!!!!!!

Yesterday, we had bowling training =) and we were supposed to train in block of 5, this means that we pair up (Alan & me) and we were lucky enough to have 2 people on one lane only !! =) We were supposed to time our ball speed, from the point of release to the point where the ball hit the first pin area. At first, my timing was fluctuating like crazy, one time, 3.00, second time round, 3.6?!!! haha but after some time, my ball speed stabilized, and now with my one step drill, my 'perfect' ball speed is 3.3 secs, for two steps 3.1secs. there was one silent shot followed by a perfect shot. woo, the perfect shot totally rocked!! =))) haha

Well, at the end of yesterday's bowling training, Nic told me he can't go for bowling competition on Sunday, but since he already told me before that he may not make it, so it's ok lah.. AHHH... forget it, i don't wish to type out this whole BLOODY STUPID incident. anyway, it seems that my team can't bowl on Sunday, what the SHIT

2006-08-09T17:39:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday Singapore!! hha As you can see, today's National Day!

Anyway, there was the National Day Celebrations at TJC yesterday, but the participants in the parade.. goodness, their 'Sediya'(or something like that) sounded like bird shit!! whoops =x haha

After the parade, we had to go to the Hall to watch some performances and National Day Idol. A small stage was set up in the middle of the hall and we had to turn and turn and turn to face the small and main stage at different times. This was supposed to be the uniqueness of this year's celebration as said by the Emcee but apparently, it was quite troublesome. There was only a slightly better singer and she eventually won the National Day idol award. The prize? -- Kinder Bueno haha xD

I took a nap in the afternoon as i knew i was going bowling with my family at night. =)

My family and I went to Tampines SAFRA to bowl and after some time, my aunt and uncle also came. After swinging some Energizer Battery keychain for 4, 5 days, haha i wondered how my bowling may improve. First game, first shot -- Gutterball , score - 109

For the next three countinuous games, i got 188, 163 and 171. YAY!! haha nvr got so high before
=DD

So, i was soooooo happy hahaXD

Well, there's nothing special today YET. haha anyway byeeee

2006-07-31T14:51:00.000+08:00

hello, there's maths test and ting xie for me today! haha =p I feel that today's maths test is more difficult than the last one. yep haha. We(TA 1E) got back our results today too.... FINALLY People from other classes had a look at them on last Friday already, and we had to wait for so long haha though i forgotten about it during the weekends =p nice, i bought 2 magic decks over the weekend and i think that the tricks that I can do with them are simply marvellous. HOOOO!! Hopefully i can show you guys someday! haha. Last Friday, i was bowling ok ly until I removed a thumb tape and i felt that the stupid thumb hole was so sticky and i can't even bowl properly. =( BUT NOW, I have cleaned it up and YAY, it is ok already!! =) and i finally know what coach mean by focusing on what you do rather than just trying to hit the pins! (a second -- =)) ) Yes, the maths test is over and i can feel slightly more relaxed now though there are still projects. The geog one seems fun (my group is doing on U.S. Government) haha.. hopefully it is! =p whoops and i just remembered that i forgot to record the sound of chairs being moved about with my handphone =p [something got to do with geog project]. I have piano lesson later too btw. Here are some pictures which I have found on the internet and wanted to show you people.
This is some kind of illusion.

This is a funny one.

haa.. I still have stuff to do so byebye!! =)))

2006-07-27T18:47:00.000+08:00

Hiii!!! Today's Friday, yay there's bowling once again and i am going to bowl well already.

Anyway, Mr See was seemingly angry with our class today as there was very few class participation from most of the class except for those people like Dinie, Minyun, me! and etc. (the usual lol.) So he said, "Ok, this lesson will benefit no one if no one wants to answer ok? So, do what you should and I will go through with you next week." Then he walked out of the backdoor, he sounded sarcastic ok? ..

I had Australian Maths Competition today morning from 7.45am to 9+ am before going back to class. I feel that those who go for these type of competitions are always the same few.. haiz. haha. Although this was definitely simpler than SMO, it was more difficult than New South Wales. Ohh yeah! I realized yesterday that I had actually gotten 9 marks for SMO and got 'Honourable Mention'! haha I had only expected Participation.

Coach said yesterday that my finishing position was very good and told me what to practice. Well, I did and 'bowled' with my football at home after that and wow, the ball motion looked much nicer now. haha. Tmr's bowling day again and i really want to do well already. Hmm.. Gonna do like what i did with the football haha.

Daryl and I had gotten 'Best Actor' award (MoV) though he got 1 mark higher than me. However, my MoV's group mark totally ... haiz.. no choice.

Gotta maintain a HAPPY AND POSITIVE attitude in life so.. I CAN DO IT! lol haha so bb cya!

2006-07-24T15:14:00.000+08:00

Heyy.. Was sick for yesterday.. took cold panadol and WA LAH!! i am ok now!! YAY!!!! haha.

Friday's training was ok nothing much. Went for bowling yesterday though i was sick haha. Did one step bowling. ha. Well, I changed my release and now i open my hand slightly and at the release thumb clear then go through the ball haha. This creates more revs for me! haha. There's nothing much i want to talk about and i know this post is quite boring *yawns*. haha but there is nothing much to say so bye!

2006-07-19T22:10:00.000+08:00

HEY TODAY'S WEDNESDAY!! haha. Anyway, my group handed up the chem report already. YAY don't need to worry about it anymore.

Daryl and I 'participated' in the 'MINICLIP GUTTERBALL 3D CHALLENGE'!!! haha our own competition. He got a nice 221 for a first game whereas i got a crap 173 game. haha. He just started playing yesterday nice lah. improve like crazy haha. Second game, he got a 189 while i got a 233!! haha i closed in the gap from 48 pinfalls to 4 pinfalls!!!! WOO HOO!! haha We played the third game after chemistry lesson just before the contact time. haha i got a 203 while he got a 177!!! I WON!!!!!!! ahha SOOOOOO... Finally, Daryl's average -- 193.33 MY average -- 203!!! WOOOOO!!!!! nicenicenice. ha

Anyway had training later and i also had a waffle ha nice. Yi Xuan, Weixin, Zuo qi and Valerie went onto the first taxi that came whereas Eran, Marcus and me went onto the second one. HOWEVER, OUR taxi reached Hougang Superbowl by about 5 - 10 minutes earlier than theirs!! haha and from what i know, amount of money we had to pay for the taxi we took was the CHEAPEST among all!! NICE.

ha.. At the end of the training, coach told me to use the lighter ball (a.k.a. Ebonite Tornado) on this Friday and see if my bowling would be better. cos.. i seem to have more confidence with that ball. ESPECIALLY on last Friday!! haha that training was SOOO fun. Repeat shots haha. This Friday i will do that too.. HMM.. i will do it! haha.

eh, it is rather late already so i shall end of my post. To next time!

2006-07-08T11:32:00.000+08:00

Hey! Today's a Saturday! and it's a GREAT day! or is it going to be? haha. Had bowling training yesterday at Tampines SAFRA. 4 lanes, 3 hours. Fun. Anyway, when doing the one step drill, i tried to cup the ball with a considerable amount of success. I did not swing from my usual setup so the backswing was low and with a cupped wrist, WA LAH! What great hook man! haha. i tried my sanded ball playing 10 10, i think it hit only the 7 pin. Then i shifted inside and swinged the ball out from about 18 board to 5 board and the thing is, IT CAME BACK! The ball still managed to hook back.. cool. haha.
Anyway, did 2 step drill afterwards. Yesterday was the first time i did a 2 step drill. There were a few shots which were like silent...... haha. but only a few, ha. Then afterwards, my right foot just doesn't want to move. crap right? haha. My brain told my right leg to move but instead my left leg moved. haha.
Anyway, there were definitely some problems afterwards which i was trying to figure out. Mr Ng was telling me some mental game stuff. But guess maybe it was because i was slightly tired that's wy i cannot perform that well already? haha.
Maybe partly is becos i saw someone.. haha. Trying to look at that person in the eye, but so it was so damn freaking difficult. That person went to Tamines SAFRA bowling alley with i think possibly her brother, sister and father. haha. And this person is NOT whom you think is. anyway, i think that person distracted me for a while. LOL! during bowling time, when i was least possible to be distracted! unbelievable.LOL Anyway, i did not do anything.. haha. cos there's training and i well.. maybe regretted the chance? NVM! haha.
QH, Gerald and Billy seemed to have gotten delayed timing and their hitting power was so much greater! happy for them! =) I am also going to train hard and get it by say one month or less? haha. But they have so many more years of bowling experience than me. But still, i must believe i can do it, and i will do it! haha. Just gotta practice harder, both at home and alley. I will get it.. soon. hm..
Haiz. 'After holidays' tests are over but there are still several projects left, like maths, L.A. and Chemistry.
I gotta make the best out of my time for both my academic and bowling! =) So well, I am off to do my schoolwork and practice my bowling! haha. lol so CYA!

HELLO! Tests are over!! haha.. had 3 tests in a row today and IT'S ALL OVER!! HOOOOO!!!!!!
haha.. can relax more now.. haiz, but there are still projects such as the maths and L.A. acting.

I remembered wrongly and thought that there is Chem make-up during today's break... So, i went to eat fishballs after assembly =p (greedy me) or i will be like so hungry during tests time immediately after break. Later, i found out that the Chem make-up is actually supposed to be tomorrow. AHHHH!!!!! crap right? hahaXD

And man! how i wish that JP will stop his 'dear dear' nonsense. It's getting slightly irritating lah. haha. Anyway during yesterday's training, coach Jimmy was like showing us bad examples. He used Gerald's puff ball to demonstrate. At first he was trying to show a freeswing, then asked Billy to catch it. haha. guess what? Billy missed it! haha.. but he seemed to catch it easily after a number of tries. lol. Then coach Jimmy was showing to us the bad effects of forcing, that the ball will whack the ground. Then i don't know what exactly happened, but he seemed to have sprained his shoulder when showing the bad example. Gosh, it's like so sudden lah..

Had a great dinner tonight of Mee Rebus which is cooked by my mum. =)

There's nothing very interesting today to talk about actually, i think? haha.
So........ bye!!!!! and END OF TESTS!!! HOOO!! but sei sei sei.. there's still projects!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! lol

Hello.. Yesterday, i felt that my thumb hole of my bowling ball was tight when i reached Victor's Superbowl, so i took out a piece of tape. Then, it was ok.. However, over some time, the stupid thumb hole felt sticky, so i had to relax totally my wrist and allow it to break to release the ball.. lol. If i tried to cup it, i felt that the ball's going to fly!! along with me!! hahaXD. anyway, this morning, i found out that it was the half-tape that was causing the problem. haha.. took it out and it felt great ! haha

But i still could not figure out why my ball can have revs and timing seems ok (haha) and the ball keeps on going to the right of my target. hmm.. maybe the weight of the ball is causing my shoulder to open up too much. haha that's just a guess.

I went to Tampines Mall in the afternoon and had my lunch with my parents at Jade Restaurant? or something like that. I am not sure about it's English name. Anyway, I went to NTUC and bought a 'heavy duty 3M scotch brite' and went home to sand my Ebonite Tornado ball.
Before

After

haha.. it's really like a face surgery before and after comparison.
Anyway, I am off to do continue my revision for the tests. bye!!

Hello everyone.. There's nothing much i want to talk about today.. There's only the bowling part where i want to mention. My father and I went to Katong Pocketbowl to bowl (duh), and were assigned lane 23. Both of our bowling balls were scratched. NEVER BOWL ON THAT LANE!!! unless you are using a house ball, then who cares? (shrugs..)

So, we went to Victor's Superbowl at Marina South to continue, and mind you, the amount of oil they put on the lanes there today, was like more than any oil spill which had ever occured in history, disgusting oil, and there's LOTS of them. haha.

Anyway, i might not be posting anytime soon as i am going to have tests this following week. So cya! =p

Hi, must be surprised that i got a blog huh? XD Actually, i was just curious about it and thus wanted to try it out. Yeahh.. So there's not many events for me today, so i shall talk about yesterday.. Poor Valerie had a fever and couldn't come for training.. Get well soon! haha.

Anyway, we had art lesson today, and we were to draw on the wall or floor for the TA Open House. It was quite fun, and we used chalk to draw. As before art lesson commenced, Mr Lau let us off early and so the few of us, Daryl, Jonathan, Dinie, Aidah, Nadhirah and me played games like 'Bang who died?', 'a+b+c, d=?','Black Magic', and stuff like that.. But the unbelievable thing was that all of us figured out each other's trick, but Daryl just could not!! hahaXD and thus i decided to remember this occasion and i drew 'Bang Who Died' with a gun and a bullet hitting someone's head on the floor.

I also drew something on the wall, but i think it looked horrible thus i do not want to tell you people where it is.hahaXD anyway i drew a deck of pins and a ball going to hit the pocket on the floor.. Here's the picture.

Ok, to the part of bowling training. I finally realized my mistake i have all along been making after my father noticed and told me (many thanks to him =) ) and i practiced it at home and guess what.. The problem of double-boucing was gone!! yay!!! XD.. i tried a 5 5 line for my last shot after Billy told me ot try it and it hooked at midlane!! and hit high!! (as my ball speed was slow and revs medium) hahaXD and that shot was SILENT!! haha.. There were DSA trials today too.. haiz.. none of them are really high revvers, haha i was expected a few or at least one.

Anyway, yesterday was a great day.. and today shall be too! hopefully =). Will make it one, haha.. and at this note, i end my VERY FIRST post. hahaXD Happy day to all of you! =)
