Turkey, Bagger, Six Pack... Whatever!

Had an eventful Saturday morning with 3 of the Ventures. Participated in district bowling competition. It was all "tears", adrenaline and excitement throughout the 3 hours.

As expected, the event started at almost 9.30am when they told us to gather at 8.15am. What do you expect from activities organised by HQ? To begin with, things started on the wrong note. How can one member from an opponent team bowl for two different names? That's quite suspicious...

After the first game, we were the leading team among the 6 teams that participated. We were on a high and really encouraged. After the second game, our team pulled ahead and widened the gap between ourselves and the second placed team. However, it was all downhill for us during the third game. (It was all Alvin's fault!) We were hoping that the team in lane 18 will slip up and let us steal the Champion trophy from under their nose, but it was not to be. Finally finished second in the team event.

My team members really excelled and played well. Way above their expectations. I guess the hardwork and practise is not wasted after all. Everyone was encouraging one another, Choy was super steady, Zhen Yi was almost like a kam-cheong spider (but he played his best-est game in the second game) and Alvin rawks (but it's still his fault that we did not win the team event!). I was lucky and did quite well for the first two games to emerge Individual Champion. But without the 3 sometimes nice, sometimes funny, sometimes encouraging, sometimes a pain in the %^@ Ventures, things would be very different.


There were no Turkeys, Baggers or Six Packs (WHATEVER... WHO CARES!) but enjoyed the session with them and hope that we'll do just as well next year... if there is a next year!
