Having a blast ^^

Earlier today, I participated in the annual Closed IPIS Bowling Tournament organized by the bowling club members..well actually, the advisor was the one doing most or the organizing works but I should give credit to the club members as well..after all, they are all still in their foundation program..so it might be the first time they had to come up with something like this..hehehe..anyway, as I recall back my last involvement with such activities I realized that the only time I had ever win a place in the tournament was back when I joined for the first time..I was ranked as number 8..and after that, my records had gone down the gutter until it reached the bottom last year..I couldn't get at least 100 pins knock down for each frame in the last tournament..it was really not my day I guess..hahaha +_+
but today, I mean yesterday now, I could say that I had played my best game ever..I started pretty well with 137 pins for my 1st frame..but the real deal came during my second play..after wasting the 1st 3 throws, I was awarded 6 consecutive strikes..yes, I repeat I got SIX strikes in a row..this propelled my point towards 190 pins score..my best play in quite a while..for the record, I managed to get 199 once last year with almost the same style as then..for the 3rd round, I had already ran out of juice and could only get 138 pins knocked down for that time..anyway, this total up my score to 465 pins for this tournament..my best achievement ever it was..hehehe ^_^
I'm really glad I joined the tournament this year, even thought I had a slight problem making u my decission to join because of financial issue..but in the end, it really paid off..compared to the other veteran players, I still have a long way to go before I can reach 200 pins yet I'm still grateful for this momment of glory..it's not everyday someone like me could get this kind of score..I was really statisfied with myself..for now..haha ^^

Once Upon A Time in Putrajaya..

2 comments
Last weekend, me and a bunch of my friends went to Putrajaya to participate in a futsal tournament..it was my first time entering an event of this kind actually..in the past, I only play soccer or futsal inside my institute in the evening or if there are closed tournament held by the student's group..anyway, since it was my first time I ever joining, I felt surged by all king of emotions althought I didn't show any of it on the outside..I was thrilled, excited at the fact that I'm playing in an open game..I'm scared, anxious for not having much skills and experiences in the game..I'm sad since I couldn't play with the volleyball team since both match started on the same day..I'm happy, glad because I'm there with a bunch of friends who had faith in me..
the competitions was held for 2 days, saturday and sunday..since about 48 teams entered the tournament, the 1st day was given for thegroup match..there was 3 teams inside each group which mean only 1 team from each group will need to be taken out of the match..our team had to wait for a long time until our turn arrives..and to my amazement, we had 2 complete victory for every match that day..I couldn'tbelieve it when I first set my eyes toward the other teams we had to face..mostly they had a better built-body than me and seems much more skilled with the ball than me, again..but I refuse to give in to the fact of my incompetency and tried to perform my best during each game we played..with the help of my fellow team members, we succeded in the 1st round as a group champion..not too shabby..
on to the next day..we had a much tougher opponents that day..during the 1st match, my shoes gave up on me on the second half of the game..this rendered me unable to play since I didn't bring any spares one..even so, we had already taken the lead during the 1st half and manage to maintain the momentum through out the game..it was during the best 16 match that our journey was finally halted..it was a pity really..early in the game we manage to scored one goal and taken the lead yet again..but we couldn't maintain that lead and when the final whistle blow we were beaten 3-1..still, it was unexpected for us to last this long in the match..I had a pleasent experience all the way till the end..many thanks to all my mates..it was fun playing along side them all..
hehehe ^^
