I'm back~! Once again. Just reached home after playing pool after eating after training.
So, anyway, training was pretty good. Uncle Henry splitted us into teams and we had a roll-off. Hmmm, I'm really glad Uncle Henry put me with Eu Dee, Nic and Jensen. Haha, it was pretty fun bowling with them. And so, we had 5 minutes of practise throws and it was on to the games. I started out with El-Nino Fatal, but, it's not reaching the pocket, which caused me to have a very bad second game of 114, cause' I'm not hitting the pin-10 and end up having several splits and difficult spares - so Uncle Henry told me to move inside. I changed my line from 10 - 7, to 15-12, and used SlayR. Voila, I found my line. The games after that were pretty alright, and I'm satisfied with them.
In the end I had a 185, 114, 169, 169, 160 which means I have an average of 159.4. Just 3 pins more! Damn! Anyway, it's over, and I should focus on the mistakes I made. Anyway, if not for the 114, let's say I have a 160, I would have a 168.6! Never mind, I shall learn from my mistakes. Anyway, I should not be focusing on my score, but the process. I really made a big mistake by being stubborn and continued using the El-Nino Fatal with the same line, I should have moved inside. Overall I'm pretty satisfied, cause' I hit most of my spares, except the spares in my second game. Due to the several splits, I was kinda panicking and end up being distracted instead of focusing of taking down the spare. I think I'd better build up my mental game.
Hmmm, it seems like Uncle Henry was not satisfied because of the 114. Hopefully, I'll still be able to bowl with Jensen, Nic and Eu Dee. I pray!
Anyway, I think I really lack confidence in myself, though Uncle Henry always told us to have confidence in ourselves and most importanly - be happy. I have to admit I can't help but to doubt myself sometimes, because of people who are really good in their games. However, I shall be a lil' more optimistic and positive. I must tell myself to be confident and convince myself that I can do it. I can do it! I can do it!
Haha, so anyway, I'm going off now, slack just a while and start my tutorials so I can spend a lil' time on my Preliminary Ideas for Project Work. Then, hopefully I can go bowling with Jensen on Monday since we end pretty early. Then I'll work on my follow-through and trail leg problem. Okay, shall update maybe next weekend. Oh yah, there'll be a few matches next week. Hope SA's soccer team beat AC and IJ! And also the basketball team! Up and on!
My torch is still burning brightly,
Your presence still lingers,
How I wish I can hold you tightly,
And never to let go of my fingers.
