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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

Thursday, July 06, 2006

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.

Sunday, July 02, 2006

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

Saturday, July 01, 2006

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.Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

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.Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

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! =)
