Another year, another round of bowling..

For the record...two Sundays in a row I played bowling, one representing our alumni and another one in our alumni's inter-batches tournament.

Mr.Google

Hahaha...in not playing for many months after last year's tournament, to suddenly throwing the balls in a "crash-course", took its toll on me after the first Sunday...and I was given a two-day medical leave, and my body aches all over!


Luckily I recovered in time to play for the second tournament. :-)

Representing our alumni was great even if we didn't win as we, players from different years had the chance to get to know each other, some better than before...a pleasure indeed.

..but a week later...we became "enemies" at the inter-batches!...and I had already *warned* them not to play good games....but of course they didn't listen, with one of them became the best bowler!..hahaha...

Mr. Google

However, we went one up...my batch team became the CHAMPION!...yeay yeay!!!..

...with our second team in 16th place out of 26th, a good result considering most players didn't practiced, some had not played for many years....another yeay!!

So now we plan to train early, at least once a month...but mmmm.., lets see the outcome...I think we said almost the same thing too last year...hahaha...

Anyway, few days ago, got a pleasant surprise...I was 6th best bowler! Wow..

One of my throws  :-)

On that happy note, wishing everyone a great week ahead..sorry for not having the time yet to read everyone's posts...will try soonest possible.

Ta-daaa...!

:-)

Summary : 2nd half of September 2013

Continuing from last posting up to mid-September..

Long weekend due to Malaysia Day on Monday 16th September : with some good friends we made a short trip to Lentang, Pahang for a 3D/2N stay at a resort.

On the second day, we went hiking for about half an hour to the waterfall

If previous trip to Tioman Island I didn't want to be under the fall.., this time I did, and enjoyed it! may be next time I would again..hahaha..

Made the way back to KL on the noon of 16th, stopped by the house, changed my travelling bag and my friends sent me to R & R Sg Buloh for me to hitch another ride to Kuala Kangsar...to attend the majlis "solat hajat" for PMR & SPM students at MCKK that same night.

All the best to them..the PMR students had just finished their exam..SPM coming this 6th November 2013.

Back at the office, was quite busy finalising the accounts for audit, that started on Thursday.

The weekend 22nd to 23rd I was on the move again...this time to my hometown KT for a short visit, as some family members were going for Haj.

Took some time to practice bowling with my nieces :-) ...

..On Saturday 28th, its our Alumni's annual bowling tournament :

My batch was 4th in team event and I was 10th best bowler! most probably because some best bowlers didnt play this year,  ..hehehe..

Sunday 29th : second year that I took part in SCB KL Marathon with some friends, some of us in 5km run(I walked actually..haha..) and some others in 10km.

Along the way I was enjoying the views of KL, took time to take photos..and finally at the finishing line I was caught on camera doing that !......hahaha...

[My nephew told me that he and his friends in school had a good laugh seeing that photo of me..., me and my camera..., I said luckily I didn't carry my DSLR! hehehe...]

The audit field work had finished and now to finalise it for AGM.

Meantime, now I'm back in my hometown again for Eid 'ul Adha  ~ so I'm wishing all Muslim friends and readers..

In "schedules" in the next few weeks are the Alumni's dinner, trip with some friends, then another journey to Kuala Kangsar and a volleyball match with students @Cyberjaya (don't know if I could still play... but I'll bring my camera surely...hehe)

No wonder my nephew's friend asked him recently..." does Cheqna stay at her home?"

hahaha...

:-)

A little squeak..... "hi...hello...allo allo"!

In "silent mode" lately as I've been stressed with work for past few weeks that at one point I burst into tears in my corner ...just to release the stress (and it did help as I felt better and calmer after that...)

:-) [ ~ NOW I could grin recalling that!]

I know I shouldn't let myself be too stressful....I even said to my boss "not to pressure me too much..I'm stress!" ...hahaha..

So my way to "de-stress" after work was by cleaning and clearing the house, and I have been doing that on and off...that I've felt too tired mentally and physically to update status here.

I have also been to play bowling a few times with my friend...at least I could "throw" the stress away...hehehe..

Here's my score from the last game last night :

I believe 197 was my highest score ever! I couldn't believe I did that..hehe..

Left me with good feeling that after reaching home I continued with the house cleaning..this time "attacking" the fridge - now its brighter, cleaner and definitely much emptier than before...haha..

Oh...and the living room and kitchen now look very much better too than past few weeks.

But today I'm tired and suffering from body aches and muscles pains!

:-)

"Goody Two Shoes"

The expression could mean : "any person who will focuses on extreme good behavior in order to impress others, an extremely virtuous person."..a goody-goody person.

But in this case, it means I'm really taking out my two "new" shoes to good use again..hehehe..

The first event would be during this coming weekend where I've registered, together with few good friends to do the 5km charity walk in support of the "World Hunger Relief 2012" to be held in Putrajaya on the 6th. October 2012.

Did some walking over the weekend, managed to finish the 5km in less than one hour, with the last fifteen minutes spent on taking photos of pond lilies...hehehe..

mmmm...one other reason why I agreed is that I love city of Putrajaya ..so I may end up walking and taking photos...although at the same time have to keep pace with my friends as well, not going to be left behind among many..hehehe..

****************

The second event that led me to take out the other shoes again would be the bowling. Few days ago a junior friend from our former school sent me a private message in my FB asking me if I could be the reserve for our alumni team!

Thinking that normally reserves don't have to play I said ok, and as I believe I'm going to be reserve no 2.. I'm not nervous about it...and I don't mind not playing as I could enjoy being the "photographer"...hehehe.

After the 5km walk, I joined my friend who'd be in the team for practice..and even though I hadn't play for few months, I was happy with the scores!

Good enough for me!

****************

Now I have to start keeping fit again..especially after not doing any serious exercises since before the fasting month.

:-)

System down.

My personal health system that is.

I guess with all the tourist dos in KL, touring overseas, my back-and-forth trips back to my kampung K.Terengganu..on top of the trainings for both the 5-km fun run and bowling, my good health finally took its toll..(but just nice after the bowling tournament..hehe..)

Feeling much better on the viral fever thou my cough is slightly worse since this morning..have to make sure I control my food intake during break fast later..and to finish the cough syrup given last week..,


or may be I should just take pure honey before sleep tonight.

Anyway...on a happier note, was glad that the weekly trainings on bowling paid-off. Even thou I had "stage fright" when the actual tournament came (hahaha)...was elated that our team managed to be the 2nd runner up (Third from 21 teams..not bad eh?)

and I was placed 12th overall from 84 players! Even I was surprised..hehehe..

but lucky me, I didn't have to represent the Alumni in inter-Alumni as only the top 10 bowlers were chosen...huh..if I'd done better in my second game I'd be somewhere there...things happened for good reason ! :-D

Didn't take many pictures as I was nervous that day..and the few I'd taken didn't turn up well too..photographer mode was out...haha..

Most importantly thou, I had fun with my friends as usual.

But now I suppose its time to revert back to my normal slow and steady pace and relax (but I'm looking forward to the trip home for eid-ul-fitr with family...and trip with good friends after that!)

:-)

What I need now..

So cute..found it @ FB

Before 9pm and I'm already feeling tired after the bowling practice with friends (today's scores were like yo-yo ~ up and down..hehe)....but I long for a cup of coffee...thou don't think if I should, in case I'd find it hard to go to sleep later...

Highest score that I managed today ~ 143, the rest (played 6 games!) between 103 to 129

Mmmmm...on second thought...I'll just post this short entry. Not going to deprive myself on coffee and will have one after all!

:-)

@ T.E.R

and that stands for "Terengganu Equestrian Resort" at Kuala Ibai Terengganu, where we played some rounds of bowling on Sunday. 

These girls enjoyed it most :-) 

But we couldn't play extra games as the State's SUKMA (Sukan Malaysia = Malaysia Games) bowlers were having their training for the coming SUKMA. 

"Frustrated girls"..but we've planned to play again on my next trip home. 

But I didn't play well ~ busy "teaching" and looking after the kids at the lanes..so I have to be satisfied with this score... 

~ for the bowling played at my tablet...hehehe... 

 :-)
