120/365

Today marks the end of the bowling competition. It was a really good experience, meeting different bowlers from other schools, seeing their bowling styles and techniques and being impressed by their team spirit.

So the competition happened over these two weeks. Singles on Monday last week, followed by doubles on Wednesday and quarters on yesterday and today. Shared the lane with Janice for the singles and doubles so we basically had a great time laughing and joking around. We were probably the most relaxed players because everybody else was so competitive and stressed up (the guys in the lane next to ours didn't talk throughout and positioned themselves away from each other) so we decided to lift the moods up a bit.

Met weixuan at his house so he could drive janice and I to OCC on wednesday which resulted in me waking up at 5am and stood outside his condo for 30+min while waiting. The car ride was fun though although I was mad tired. Bowled as usual with a decent score. The lanes in OCC are much more slippery than that in CSC so we had trouble getting used to it. Skipped school on Monday and Wednesday which was great because sorry I hate school. I think I'll need time to adjust to normal school days again (seriously Thursday and Friday please don't come so soon + thankful for labour day holiday tomorrow).

Quarters game these two days was really intense. All the bowlers were so determined and bonded and the feeling was great. Had AC guys next to us yesterday and I'm glad they're friendly. One thing I realized was that girls tend to be more competitive (and hence more unfriendly) during the competition hm. So we just encouraged each other throughout the 3 games and it was probably the more stressful games I've had. Really put in effort to focus and bowl accurately.

Today we had MJC guys next to us and they're nice so all was good too. I like the part where we just had high fives and fist bumps to encourage each other though haha. Bowled average but my last game was really screwed I guess I was tired/sick/hungry so I couldn't concentrate anymore? Was demoralized in the middle of the game already I wished I could stop bowling. Wasted my strike with gutters but I'm glad I had 2 spares in the 8th and 9th frame to pull my score up a little.

As of now, I'm on the shuttle bus on my way to northpoint. Really tired now considering the fact that I woke up at 5 today so I'm gna crash on the bus home later. Goodnight (it's only afternoon now).
