bowling trial

Ok.. so todays the day.. the day i prove myself to the bowlers on the temasek team. got up early to shine and polish all 3 of my (bowling) balls and left for safra at 9.45. the trial starts at 10.30 but i'm just nervous, i guess.. when i got there, they were oiling the lanes and some people from the team were already there..

sat around for about half an hour (they dont let me play warmups.. bastards..) before they started to collect money for the games.. by then, about 50 people had arrived.. not alot of pro bowlers (people with their own equipment) .. i'd say about 20 pros only.. so they collected the cash and assigned us with lanes.. i was the 2nd player for lane 13(unlucky??)

my lane was damn quiet.. got this pro bowler whos damn good called perry.. i thought he was very stuck up. he strike, i clap for him.. i strike he jus stone.. anyway, 6 people. stuck up guy, me, some nerdy dude and his friend who can't bowl for shit, a pretty decent house ball bowler, and a very quiet/relaxed chinese who looks like a malay (pro bowler)..

the trial was a 4 game series. anyone who hit 160 in any game will be accepted. so my game scores, in order, was 144, 103, 157 and 144 again.. after every round they would put up the list of scores and i ranked 11th for the 1st game, 18th for the 2nd, and 14th for the 3rd.. i didnt see the 4th scoresheet though.. but cannot be more than 24 right?? so i guess (and hope) that im in the team! i'll just have to wait till they put up the list of people up on the notice board before i know for sure.. keep your fingers crossed!!

nothing much happened for the rest of the day.. slept for the majority of it.. only 1 pic - an old model of the mercedes SLK
