catherine, my flatmate, asked me to go bowling last sunday. i’ve never
bowled before but, hey, there’s always a first time for everything.
besides, a new form of fun wouldn’t hurt when you’re feeling a wee bit
pressurized by your dissertation. so, off we went to the arena.
i was giddy at first. well, i know myself quite well and i know i
really suck at sports, especially ones dealing with balls. and i hate
it when i know i would look stupid doing something i’ve never done
before.
but, i finally took those little steps and let go of the ball.
it glided off..
..and hit one pin.
hahah!!!
it was only after a few turns that i began to get the hang of it. in fact, i
actually enjoyed the game. okay, my ball often went sideways but, really,
sometimes it was good laughing at yourself.
then, on the second game, a miracle happened – i succeeded in hitting
all the pins on one go! mark this, people – exactly at 5 pm on the 26th of june 2005, i did
my very first STRIKE! woo-hoo!!!
the game ended with me trailing behind catherine by 2 points. 2 points! not bad for a beginner, eh?
what happend to the frame after the 3rd????…another strike??? *wink wink*
hahaha.. no more strikes afterward! :P
hihihihi..roll the ball anya!
the thing is how you enjoy the game & hving fun of it…no matter how suck you're in sport!! huwekekekeke….
that's great..
you get strike in your first game of bowling….
because i didn't get that for my first game..
well, it's a beginner LUCK..
i think, this sports will suit you..hahahaha
Anya! Nice going on your first stab at bowling! word of advice though, avoid having the word “suck” and “Balls” in the same sentence. hehehehehe ;)
hahah.. si nia juga komentar begitu. siyalll…
*almost choked myself with laughter*
and why should i avoid them, kit? would you please explain?
lho jadi apa dong kalo bukan beginner's luck.?.:-D
Well… it's because….you see……..it might……….*choke*……..
i'm still in my pj's and a few minutes ago i was still half alive.. but your reply brought me back to my senses as i'm choking again with laughter…
i think it's been too long since you had your last sate tikus fix, kit…
I miss ……….
I definitely miss sate ayam,
I miss risol in the morning, I eat about 8 pcs at least,
I miss nasi goreng wrapped in brown paper held by a rubber band,
I miss padang food,
I miss nasi pelangi,
I miss a restaurant in pechanongan which is a carshop in the day,
I miss my apartment in Jakarta,
I miss Plaza Senayan,
I miss the Grand Hyatt,
I miss Hotel Borubudour,
I miss the announcement in the cinemas before my movie comes on,
I miss Blue Bird and Silver Bird,
I miss the Mulia Hotel,
I miss a whole lot of things in Jakarta,
But most of all I miss my friends who have shared their precious time with me.
I miss my friend Anya whose the first one I always call from a cab after landing at the airport.
Thank God for the internet…for it makes missing friends more bearable.
Thanks Chananya Rompas.
