Hmmm, I'm troubled whether to bowl today or not... Crap.
Well, I was troubled in the morning, but after watching some videos from the PBA, I decided to go bowl with the motivation of having high scores, haha. So, I had my lunch, took a bath and set off to Safra.
I didn't expect Safra to be so crowded, but thankfully, not as crowded as it seems, cause' I still can bowl on a pair of lanes alone. So, anyway, I just stretched, prepared everything, tested the approach to see if I could slide and stuff like that. Then I just bowled. Hmmm, not so bad overall, cause' I could hit my target most of the time, except the times when I looked down again. Usually if I miss my target, I'll miss it about 3-5 boards... sad, because this big error always bring my ball to the gutter. Hmmm, but at least I corrected quite a bit of the mistake of looking down and not following through towards the target. So... the next time I go bowl, I've to make sure I still look up and follow through all the way, then try to release the ball a lil' earlier because I'm kinda lofting the ball. So... hopefully I can correct these two by the time South Zone comes. Hmmm, these are the two major ones. The other 1 I've to correct is to keep my trail leg down.
So... not a bad day afterall, didn't really remember the scores, but the scores were around 160 - 170, with a couple of games 180+. Not forgetting a few games of 130 - 150. But, well, no matter how badly I bowl, I'm still lucky tuckie, and nothing's gonna change that. Haha, Uncle Henry always says that.
I hope I'll be able to bowl on Thursday when my father's having his off day. Then I'll correct more of the mistakes.
I'll update soon. Hopefully I didn't defame anyone in this post, or else I might just get sued.

Alamak, I think I shouldn't have stopped bowling for such a long time. Crappy. I'm doing all the things I changed in the past. Releasing the damn ball late. Dropping shoulder. Following through everywhere except my target. Looking down AGAIN. It's damn frustrating when I was bowling. I couldn't even find the damn 1-3 pocket because my ball goes EVERYWHERE. It's really... what else can I say but the word that starts with "F", end with "K", with second letter "U" and the third "C". I think I'll really need a lot more practice and help. Maybe I'll ask Uncle Henry to help me during the holidays. Freaking shit man. Everything went haywire just because I needed more time to catch up because of the "A" Divs. I know it's not the "A" Divs or anyone's fault... but, well... what else can I say? Really very frustrating. Sighz... Uncle Henry changed my timing and stuff, so I'll really have to get used to it and practice more. Really bad day today, a really bad day to start the holidays.
GRRRRRR....

Sorry about the late update.
SAJC Bowling Team 2005:
Singles Boys - Gold
Double Boys - Gold
Double Girls - Bronze
Quartet Boys - Bronze
Overall school (boys) - Gold!
Overall school (Girls) - Silver!
Masters Boys - Gold (Anuaar) and Bronze (David)
So, anyway, haha, standard man.
Hmmm, well, actually, I just came back from Michelle's house. Supposed to be sleeping, but not sure why, I can't seem to sleep.
So, anyway, met up with MB at AMK at 6 supposedly, as suggested by nigel, to go have our dinner and also to get Michelle's present. However, everyone came late, and we just waited for the rest of those going with us, who agreed to meet at 7. Actually, I was on the dot, and LJ came about 25 minutes later, then came Nigel, followed by Jensen and then ZX, who came at 7. Hmmm, I should have left the house later so I need not wait so long. But, well, if everyone thinks that way, then... GG; next time we'll have to set the meeting time 2 hours before. So anyway...
Adam, Iris, Nic, and MB took cabs to Michelle's place. Actually, I didn't do much except eat, watch movies and also the videos recorded during the A Divisions by Nic, play carrom and play bridge. Hmmm, but the company of friends was great. Hmmm, I watched videos, movies, played carrom and play bridge till around 3 I think, can't really remember. Then someone suggested going out for a walk, so I went together with CH, Clara, Calista, Michelle, LJ and Jensen. Haha, we went to the playground and LJ drew many things, like shit, really shit, as in really he drew a shit. Haha. Anyway, many were already asleep then - people like ZX, Nigel, Alex, Adam. After hanging around the playground, we went back to the house and played bridge again. Haha, LJ, Jensen, Clara and I played bridge. Had a great time playing "No Trump". Haha, owning! So, anyway, shall not go into the details. Hmmm, after that, LJ, Jensen and I went into the mahjong room where Nic, Amelia, Anuaar and Vic were playing mahjong. LJ, Jensen used the computers while I caught some sleep. Hmmm, subsequent events are just blurry images now. Haha. Except breakfast this morning, bridge again and carrom again, and finally went home after dilly-dally-ing.
Actually... now I realised I don't really know the sequence of events, haha, so anyway, I just hope I wrote them down QUITE accurately. Haha. So anyway, I think I'll stop here. Hmmm, hope I didn't accidentally defame anyone, or I might just get sued. Shit, I'm talking cock, and ermmm, so... I'll be off. Haha, I should be updating quite often soon since holidays are around the corner.
MB rocks... nuff' said.

So, anyway it's yet another beautiful Saturday with rain in the morning. I woke up at 0700 hours, ate breakfast, and slacked. I slacked till now - which is bad. Haha, I wanted to do tutorials since I'll be out the whole afternoon. I'm going to Alicia's house. :D
So, anyway, many things happened. Our school's soccer team lost to NJ and was eliminated. Well, I have to say, we should have advanced. The referee did not see many things. Really. I'm not going to say anything or else I might be sued for defaming NJ. Well, hopefully they'll take it easy. When I saw Kenneth crying the whole day... I felt the ache...
Well, things were better yesterday during the A Div bowling competitions. Anuaar had a 4 game series of 903. Haha, great series man. Anyway, inevitably, there are people who did well, and did not do as well. I hope they'll be able to persevere on. Anyway, I have to say, some of them are kinda unlucky I have to say. For example, LJ, his ball couldn't carry. With many perfect pockets, only a few carried. Hopefully things will turn for the better on Tuesday. The best would be, of course, SA winning the team gold, which is also the most important.
After the games, we went to eat at Suntec, though not all came with us. Went to KFC. Quite a long while since I ate KFC. Anyway, ate, talked cock, and after that went to Subway to look for those who went Subway. After that we went home, while, YQ, David, Steph and Jan went to Starbucks. Hmmm, halfway to the station, Adam realised he left his keys in his bowling bag. So... as good friends and good teammates, Nic, CH, Iris, and I accompanied him back to Marina to wait for him, while he took a cab to where his balls are. By that time, I was worn out already man. Not long after, he came back and we went home.
Hmmm, that's about what I have to say, I think I'll do at least a few questions before going to Alicia's house, so that I can enjoy the food her mother is going cook and myself till the max and not worry about tutorials. Hehe.

Hmmm, I'm going to start doing my tutorials after updating.
So anyway, had training again today. Wasn't focusing really well, and my shoulders were dropping maybe cause' of fatigue or maybe not warmed up really well. Missed quite a number of spares when having some "buddy bowling". Well, but after a few more games, I could hit my target most of the times. Nigel, LJ, Ben and I played a last game individually at the end, and thankfully, I got a 181. Not bad. Hit most of my spares during this game.
Anyway, Shuo Yi by Sylvester Sim is not bad. Nice lyrics, nice music. Too bad I can't find the chinese lyrics on the net, only the han yu pin yin. Shall share with you when I find them.
Hmmm, actually, nothing much happened today. I think I'll just start my tutorials.
Friday, May 06, 2005
Oh man, I'm damn tired. I think I'll just try to complete a few questions of Functions before going to sleep.
Anyway, training was great. 181, 179, 170 and 188. I think it's quite consistent, haha, I hit the average Uncle Henry gave me, which is 175. Yeah baby! Gan! Haha. Anyway bowled two games after that. First game was pretty bad, cause' my thumb was really perspiring like mad, and I couldn't get a good grip of the thumb hole. So... couldn't get the feeling, rev, and ball speed I had. Luckily, the second game was better. I had a 194. Yay! Haha. After the two games, we were tired, and not mentioning there's training tomorrow. I'm not sure if I can get my strength back tomorrow. My right shoulder is kinda aching, elbow is giving me some kinda "shocks" if I exerted too much pressure on it. Lastly, my thumb has blisters already. Sian, due to quite a few late releases and thumb getting caught. Thereafter, LJ, CH and JL ate at Victors, so I stayed with them, since it's Friday today. Called my mom to tell her to keep some food for me, then went on to sip on my Snapple, pink lemonade, then talk cock with LJ, CH and JL. Anyway, the pink lemonade wasn't that bad. Firstly, it's pink and the lemon taste was good. Haha, sorry digress. Anyway, we were talking about various stuff, crap, rubbish and nonsense. Haha.
After eating, LJ, CH and JL went to take forms for Bowler of the Month and Youth Challenge. I didn't take cause' I think it's too expensive to be bowling in these events. Proceeded to the bus stop and headed home.
Hmmm, today was quite good. Anyway, got to message her a few times. Though it's just a few times, glad that she's getting along fine and especially happy that she's happy. Haha.
I'm Tuck Foong and nothing's gonna change that. :D
"All the best" is what I have to say for knowing that you're happy will make my day.

Yeah baby, I cleared FMA, FMB and Physics. Haha. I feel quite accomplished. However, there's still more to come. Well, during the first three months, Weber and I were always ahead of everyone, sometimes even ahead of the lectures. But now, we're behind the lecture. We only complete the tutorials after the lectures finished. During the first three months, we finished the tutorial as soon as the lecture ended. Haha, a lil' hardcore, but I kinda like that, because I won't feel pressured by the quick pace of Miss Tan. Anyway, up till now, I'm still coping pretty well. Hopefully, I'll be able to maintain like this throughout, or better be faster!
Hmmm, I really feel like bowling. Actually wanted to go bowling yesterday, but I couldn't complete what I aimed for on Saturday, so had to carry forward to Sunday. I really really have the urge to bowl man. BUT, to make things worse, I may not have training on Wednesday because of some Civil Defense talk. My senior said that the talk is to teach girls how to handle emergencies, and teach boys how to rescue the girls. Haha, corny, but I like it, but too bad the girl I wanna rescue won't be there for me to rescue.
So anyway, I hope Miss Wong will talk to the teacher-in-charge of organising the talk to allow the bowlers to attend training. Really hope man. I really don't wanna get all my bad habits from the past back. I need to keep my trail leg down, don't drop my right shoulder and follow through towards my target. The most recent training was quite bad. My shoulder kept dropping, which made me miss my target to the right, and ended up with many splits, like 1-2-4-10, 1-2-10, 1-2-5-10. It's really frustrating. But, luckily I could still pick up most of my spares to reach 150. Very bad man. I need to keep my trail leg down to prevent my shoulders from dropping. So, I think I'll work on my trail leg the next training.
Hmmm, before I forget, haha, I went to my Aunt's house yesterday, and played mahjong. Quite some time since I played mahjong. Not bad, won quite a lil' bit, but lost a lil' in total in the end. Wanted to have red wine, but I didn't cause' I wanted to do tutorial at night, but ended up watching television... -.- should have drank red wine instead. With red wine, I could have slept better, and longer. Haha, could have dreamt of Her longer. Haha...
Ok ok, so anyway, there'll be a Math test tomorrow, on Small Angle and Approximations, 3D Trigo and Polynomial equations. It's FMB, so, got quite a lot of study, since I'm still not really familiar with the factor formula, and stuff. Going to study for it soon. Alright, other than Math test, tomorrow is quite a good day. There's PE tomorrow! Yay! Haha, love PE. Then I have 2 hours of break, thanks to Mother Tongue lessons. Thereafter, it'll be FMA lecture, GP, FMB then Physics. Not bad actually, cause' there aren't many tutorials. :D
Hmmm, I think I'm going to go off, not to study YET, but to slack a lil' more. Heehee...
I just wanna hold your hand, and hope it'll never end...
I'll keep faith till the end,
and never give up even if someone offers me a few thousand grands...
