Bowling up a Storm IV

another training session but this time at Singapore Poly Guild House. and it's sooo far la! thanks glenda for giving me a lift everytime there is training =D

another bowling ball introduction. the latest addition to the collection and also the last one i ever drilled. i've lost touch with all the new bowling balls. havent been to the driller for years now. to think i drill 1 new bowling ball almost every 3 months in those hay days. slowing down already. =P i still have one more bowling ball at uncle kenneth's, left it there for close to 3 yrs! woops=X

taken together with waffles baby's own green bowling ball.

glenda calls it the watermelon ball. haha yeah it does really look like a watermelon! haha this ball is free tooooo, i won this ball a few years ago during the last Youth Challenge. haha yeah it's been that long, at victors superbowl. once a favourite playground for us, now it has made way for the stupid IR. -.-

lazing at home on a summer's day

last week was a haps one for me. and this week, things are gonna slow down a little. everyone is back home, weibhin went back on monday, eric, ernie, sharon etc left on sunday. ahhh back to nothingness again. always the same empty feeling i get when people leave. =(

oh well, so today was spent lazing in front of the tv & laptop and waffles by my side. i realise i've not watched the tv for so damn long! *absorpts tv power*. i was watching Forbes Richest top 20 earners under 25. and they're worth a few millions. sigh, what am i doing? what am i doing?! incurring a deficit everyday instead of making millions. -.- depressed. with the athletes at the first 4 positions.

Top on the List: LeBron James worth 25million dollars!!!!!

King James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first conference title ever this year. When not on the court, James oversees construction of his 35,000-square-foot home outside of Cleveland, which includes a bowling alley, casino and barber shop. This year the cycling aficionado also acquired a minority stake in Cannondale, manufacturer of high-performance bicycles.

other than watching tv, i was watching boys over flowers on my laptop too, haha 2 shows going on. =P ohhhhh going to finish the series already, like kelly, i dont want it to end! -.-

went out for awhile to buy some hair shampoo for myself. im using Asience for quite some time now, and i feel that it's not bad. i went with mommy to AMK, some shop to buy it, it's cheaper there compared to supermarkets. bought dessert for ourselves on the way home. im having mango pomelo sago

doesnt look very appealing right? compared to this from Xu Liu Shan in Hong kong. haiya i miss hong kong soooo much -.- when then can i go there for another round of crazy shoppings?! booooo hoooo

end of depress day
-.-

Bowling up a Storm III

the bowling ball that was given by a friend from Thailand =) a few years ago

1 of my favs

back to basics.
bringing 1 bowling ball back to training at a time.
this one was uber dusty!
even after cleaning, my tee was black after training =P
white tee - not recommanded for bowling.
>.<

Summer Days of our lives

The summer holidays are probably the most happening part of the year. because school is out! not only for me, but for the the kids as well.

Had WeiBhin over at my house over the weekend together with 2 of his cousins from Japan. they went to the zoo, sci center w/o me! because i was too busy spending time with my friends who also came here from overseas for singapore open. *winks*

i felt quite bad, so i told myself i've got to go Sentosa with them on Sunday. only had 4 hrs of sleep before my little alarm clock came to wake me up from bed by opening the curtains! =P haha just in time to take your call before u leave singapore =) if not i'll still be in dreamland.
Their main intention was actually to visit the Underwater world and dolphin lagoon. i go there almost every year la. haha nothing much has changed since i last went. a little boring for me, but very amusing for the kids. the kids just kept going , "waaaaah! waaaah! waaah! the fish soooo big!"i think these are the 2 new marine animals available there, the big octopus(sashimi yum yum!) and this weird looking yellow fish.i was too tired to snap pictures too *yawns* but i couldnt resist to snap this! arent they pretty! next stop, 4-D adventure ride. i went for the exact same one 10 years ago in Gold Coast Aussie. this only arrived in Singapore a few years ago. explains how laggy we are in these kinda entertainment. 1st one was the "Pirates" which made my cousin cry! and the other was Extreme Log Ride. More or less the same as 10 yrs ago. not very appealing. last place we went to was the Dolphin Lagoon, quite disappointing actually. it isnt very exciting, still the same as last year. i think it's time for me to go Ocean Park right? =P

Bowling up a Storm II

Thoughts: Thursday after 2nd training.I still have it within me. =X not to boast, but im glad it still is. "Bowling is my life" i always reminded myself that whenever i felt like giving up. but i guess the effect wore off slowly as time passes.

Friday. wondering what i've been up to lately? bowling alley has once again became my favourite haunt. =X ahya no life. i went for dinner with eric, micheal and uncle paul after they finished bowling. Chicken Rice @ Katong.

Saturday. Bowling alley again. Masters & Stepladder. wanted to go down early but i overslept! as usual. reached there only at 12pm, guys bowling their last game. missed the whole 7 games. booo. then it was the girls masters. damn boring. =X chat with kim jaemin, korean bowler, he told me, he prefers to stay overseas because, it's not so stressed here. in korea, he has to wake up at 6am in the morning for sch, sch ends at 11pm and then homework till 2am. my my my, that's horrible!

Had Lunch @ Parkway with eric, micheal, siuhong, ricky and uncle paul before heading back to the alley for the stepladders. ahya siu hong didnt win=( so sad.

i left the alley at 8pm to avoid the peak hr surcharge, while everyone else went for their banquet. not very nice for me to sit at the hk bowlers' table. *shy* soo i went dinner with my family instead.

*jaemin in the middle*

had a friend over to my house after the banquet, he's leaving singapore the next day=(, and we have too much catching up to do. we had waffles as our company.=) until almost 4am. sent him off in a cab back to his hotel. see u 4 yrs later=P haha

im quite sad he's leaving already, haiz told u to stay a little while longer.....

Bowling up a Storm

today was pretty much an exciting day for me!

1. i'm going to meet Eric! whom i've not seen for 2 years
2. going to Mt Faber as a spectator (Singapore Open)

i took a bus from Bishan to Mt Faber, and damn! the journey was long, almost 1.5hr. luckily i bought 8 days magazine along with me.

and finally after a long trip, i finally arrived at destination! all thanks to streetdirectory.com! hehez

so many familiar faces, ahyoo nostalgia going to hit me again. but shant rat on that. "picked" eric up from the bowling centre and to the Singapore Flyer. My first time there as well, glenda's too. we felt more like tourists than eric do! snapping pictures, snap snap snap.

this is my flyer ticket! welcome on board........
it was a 30mins long ride, highest point was 165m above sea lvl. there's basically only construction going on la. =P booooo! fortunately we went in the evening soooo we got to enjoy the sun set. for me, i got bored after awhile...esp after hitting the highest point, i sat down, stomach grumbling, only to realise glenda and eric felt the same haha =P
breath taking view from up above the blue blue sea. and the spectacular sunset amidst the urban jungle landscape.sooo alas! the journey was over, we went to the nearest hawker place for dinner. Local food, local food. food that cant be found in HK, well at least those that prolly doesnt taste that nice in hk. carrot cake, hokkein mee, satay, sambal stingray, chendol, etc. cherie, daphne and sharon joined us for dinner as well. Sharon says, malaysia dont have fried prawn mee, and their hokkien mee is black. haha


and for our last food stop of the day, DURIANS! yummy ones along geylang road! didnt get a chance to eat it during kok and ang's birthday, finally! open a durian along the road side, and savouring the richness of the yellow flesh beneath the green thorny shell. *yum*. we had red prawn by the way, hong xia. it has real small seeds soo it was quite worth it, lots of flesh.

the uncle looked so fierce, with tattoos all over his arm, and holding a knife at us "which one u want?"im surprise eric even likes it. haha i told him, tomorrow you sure perfect game, well close enough, he just called and said he bowled a 289! haha

xoxo

Ang Ang's 23rd Birthday

I'm a little lazy to blog already, haha too much of birthdays.

well i'll just give a short writeup. -.-

Dinner @ Ma Maison with the group consisting of myself, Kelly, ZJ, Eugene Ang & Lee, Kok, Ezann, Bp, Cad & nana

hoho, Ang's 23rd birthday! quoted frm Ang to Lee, "Now i finally know how u felt in year 1" .
OUCH!

food was as great as usual, we ordered escargots and soba salad to share, and 1 main course each. ZJ finished a seafood platter for 2 by himself. -.- Ang and kok had this flaming hamburger thingy which was quite interesting, exciting to see them light the steak on fire.
and of coz there was the birthday cake bought by Eugene Lee, we actually wanted to get him a Pandan cake because there wasnt any cake shop in Central!last but not least! presents for the birthday man! 3 new tees for him, New Look New Man frm Zara, 1 Nike Tennis tee and 1 Nautica Polo. that will be his attire for monday, tues and wed next sem. look out for the new man! =P

and another group shot of us outside the restaurant, all were in different shades of blue. it was all unplanned by the way!

a beautiful shot of the Singapore River/ Clarke Quay area at night =)

After Party, we headed down to Iguna's, which was nearby for some drinks. They're famous for their Giant Magaritas, there below...
