Tomorrow will be the day.
First things first, to my regular visitors, please accept my apologies if I haven’t been dropping by your sites recently - or if I hadn’t commented on your entries for the past few days. I am absolutely dying here with too much trainings with the added need to keep up with my assignments. By Sunday - I promise.
So, tomorrow marks my very first step into the Bowling IVP Tournament. Will it make it or break me?
I’ve trained hard for this, and I am quite certain that I can maintain my usual 140-150 average. However, after checking out the competition during the Men’s singles held yesterday, I am suddenly struck with several thoughts of “What-ifs?”
The two SMU guys teams did very well, with the SMU girls team (Me and another three teammates) screaming our lungs out cheering for them. Out of all the bowling scores achieved by our male counterparts, almost 50% of the scores were 200 and above.
But yet, we still lost.
And all of a sudden, my 140-150 average seems so… meagre in comparision.
Furthermore, there was also the incident of the wrongly-sized shirts. Apparently, the shipment of team shirts for the SMU Bowling Team came in the wrong sizes, and most of the guys who were bowling in yesterday’s singles tournament had found themselves wearing a tight-fit tee.
One of my senior teammates realized that he had to change his style of bowling just to accomodate the tee - as he was afraid the sides of the tee would slit open if he wasn’t careful.
Naturally, since Alvina and I were in charge of the team shirts, we weren’t happy, and delivered a bunch of good words down the phone to the ears of the supplier.
That said, I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
Wish me all the best - with high scores. I am hoping for a miracle to suddenly take me adrift and bowl at least an average of 180. Is that ever possible?
At the moment, I feel like Chicken Little when he was called up to bat during the baseball scene.
“I will not let you down.“

Good luck at your bowling tournament! Once again, entertaining entry hehe. Lol, “tight fit tee”. I hope you have a better day tomorrow! Do your best! Don’t worry about the results :D
Hello there. I just happened to stumble onto your weblog and wanted to comment that I really enjoyed reading your entries. (:
I’ll be back (that is if..you don’t mind..)
Good Luck. I know you won’t let everyone down =)
It’s all right Brenda :) Best of luck for your tournament. “Jiayou~~” Just give your best shot. =D
Good luck with your tournament! I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
I’ll be cheering from here and don’t worry about everyone else, just play an amazing game. Good luck and have fun.
Bowling?! Wow, that is awesome, hope that goes well, really do!
Humm…sorry to hear about the shirt problem though, that is a bit rediculous! Hope it all gets better, good luck!
Oooh, bad news about the shirts; no one wants a wardrobe malfunction while bowling; that’s for certain. The shoes are already difficult enough.
Chicken Little? Haven’t seen it yet, but it’s definitely on my list. I just watched Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit; I forgot just how much I loved those movies - haven’t seen any in years!
::reminisces:
jia u !!
dont worry, as long as you know you did your best,winning and losing dont matter. As hard & ..cliche that may sounds!
*imagines guys in tight shirts*
…oh dear
Don’t worry about returning comments quickly. I mean.. it took me over a month to reply to yours. I just return comments when i write a new post.
And you’ll do find in the bowling. Just relax, try your best and have fun. You have to remember one of the biggest things in sports is mind power. If you think too much it won’t happen if you try but don’t think too hard it normally just comes naturally *hugs* you’ll do fine!
add oil !! (:
140-150 is something to be proud of! I can’t even reach a score of 100! I’m impressed, and I’m even more impressed by the guys!
Damn the supplier for the size mix up. I hope you won the tournament! No, scratch that. You WILL win! :D
That’s though, but hey! Do your best and thohings will be alright. Besides, just because the guys score so much doesn’t mean you have to as well. Plus you’re not alone on the team. There are others responsible for an eventual win.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Good luck! Don’t worry too much okie? Just do your best and you’ll be great. :)
Good luck!
Good luck! I’m rooting for you guys. I hope you win!
