Hey Kev, do there have bowling alleys in camp

Think about it, Kevo.Originally posted by TomaHawk^_^:
Its more like u had better lor.... heehee... come on... Power torq, i believe u can do better one! ur average had better be 170 by the time i come out of BMT... or i'll wring ur neck.... 
Only 3 people in the team averaging 170 so far in Katong, and only 2 in Classic. Both out of 12.
Perhaps that's a big burden to place on a rookie, my friend. -
That number is going to rise. Althought I have much less league experience, I believe that number is going to rise. Everyone will do their best. Same goes to both leagues.
-
i noe i noe...i just joking about squashing ppl with handicap scores.
of cos i wanna beat them flat out and lower my handicap.
hopefully i can maintain a higher standard of playing during league games.
Then I'll be able to get high scores! -

I should be in that bracket as well... *sigh* I'm trying my best to give backup to the abovementioned bowlers such as Hawk and Prataman so that they don't have so much burden all the time anchoring the rest of the team for overall pinfalls. I always seem to blank out for one game out of the series. -
Ouch!
Managed to mildly sprain my ring finger during my Monday Katong League.
Was due to my tucking of pinky (thus stretching the ring finger) and it got stretched that bit too far tonight. Switched to a no-tuck release the rest of the way. About 12 frames to go when the pull occurred.
Hopefully will recover by this Thursday! Will keep you informed if any changes to be had.... -
Don't force yourself too much mate. It's better to take things easy & let it recover... I'll be ever willing to be the replacement killer
ha ha ha
-
Shucks. Fingers still hurt.
I will be replaced in the lineup by
Kevin Phua. -
It's been a while since I saw Kevin Phua played... it's time for him to strike
-
Good job, gentlemen!
We managed to garner 11 points against 5th placed "Bowling Unlimited". Btw, we're a dismal 10th place. May have moved a slot or even 2, but we'll see.
Kudos to everyone for a never say die attitude, and team game wise it got pretty close at the end. Unfortunately we lost overall pinfall count by just 5. I'm sure that our guys knew we could have done much much better! Except WX, of course, who did a magnificent job.
Hayden got 2 points, Jay Soong had 3 and WX had a clean sweep 4pts with a good 184 avg. Phua-man unfortunately got 0 points. We won the 1st and 3rd team games, total 11. Great job. Got a tough run coming up, we faced the 3rd and 4th placed teams (as of this week) in the next fortnight.
As of now, the projected lineup next week (9/1) comprises of:
Tom/Brendan, Dinghua, Weixiang/Jay and myself.
Projected lineup week after (16/1) comprises of:
Tom/Brendan, Titan, Jae, Weixiang/Jay
Sorry for the uncertainty, have to check availability with individual players. -
Yo best best..The freemun speakth...ok..kaptan plata...I will be able to play on the 9th as per schedule as I heard tat big bird would be on his Bali trip and this would be last game before he [color=green]leaves..Obviously he would have many more good games to come.
Best I would be playing with The WX man as well as the bird himself eh..thats good.
Wishing all of you guys ..ha[]ppy New year and all the best for 2003 ..surly one.best ah.
ANybody letting go a 14 plus pound ball.? currently looking for one here...Please do feel free to contact me direct and we will discuss on the price.[/color]

Alright chums,
Tested out the finger 2 days back, and it's not all good. There's not much strength in the ring finger, which means I fail to extend through the ball properly (no length). To cut a long story shot, I missed to the left of target about 90% of the time, and missed every pin 10 leave but one. Hell, I have enough problem extending through the ball even without this finger injury.
Anyways, changes to the lineup then!
This week's lineup, and I have confirmed with all 4, are:
1) Phua
2) Brendan
3) Ding
4) WX
Our senior citizens (with the exception of James) do battle then!
Next week (16th) will comprise of, and I have also confirmed with all, are:
1) Tom
2) Titan
3) Jae
4) Myself
Please let me know if you can't make it or don't wish to play, I'll find replacements

Well, I suppose the guys are slogging it out at Katong SilverBowl now...good luck guys!
Me have not bowled in last 2 weeks due to SIM Futsal Tournament.
Ended this evening at 6.30pm and our team made it all the way to the final!!! Too bad we lost to SIM-RMIT on the golden goal rule... a shot going wide intercepted finely by a header and they scored..
Nevertheless, ended already. Next week can go back to bowling....
next week going to be expensive man...
with training, league, sunday SIM/NUS....oh boy... -
u failed us... u'r suppose to be beaten in the first match, then join us for training...how could u go all the way to the finals?!
anyway, well done! credits to u guys!
-
Getting flogged is not fun.
The opposing team put on a spinning clinic, scoring team games of 838, 807 and 828 ..............
WX put on an excellent defiance with 3 very high consistent games (average 192), whereas myself (173), Ding (161) and Phua (149) didn't do as well as we hoped.
Well, managed to get 2.5 points. Which was quite an amazing thing by itself. Wasted a chance to get another... argh!!!! -
eh, 800+ team score per 4 players is very good u know...
well, hope next week we can deliver a better performance! -
Of course it's good. And that was without handicap. Not like they had much, anyway.
Fun though! Really fun. The challenge of beating these spinners at their home ground is really fun. We failed this time, but the challenge is .. brrrr...
Anyway, next week you'll get your chance. Like I said, Titan, Jae and yourself are confirmed for next week. The 4th bowler will probably be ..... not sure!
23rd Jan's lineup will be Jay, James, WX and myself.
IMPORTANT:
You fellas may not know, but this league runs for 3 legs, till end June. Thing is, the first round's results will NOT be taken into the 2nd leg and 3rd legs (that is, all points are back to 0 after leg 1). The top 3 teams after the first leg will get some $$$, then everything is reset to 0. Not bad eh? The slate is wiped clean and we get a fresh start!
HOWEVER... the handicaps remain. Now, I'm not asking you to sandbag or anything, but considering that we're now in 9th place out of 12 (and that was before yesterday's whitewash) with just 4 weeks left in leg 1.... we don't have a chance of getting in the top 3.
So, on 30th Jan and 6th Feb (week 10 and 11 - last 2 sessions of leg 1), I'll be sending out the "rookies" (Tom, Hayden, Jason) to get more exposure - if they're willing and available, and a couple of you who would probably benefit from getting further aclimatised to the conditions.
Just play your games, test out what you learn in training on league conditions, and don't worry about the scores at all. To put it bluntly, they won't really matter till week 12, when leg 2 begins. -
clap clap... way to go Dimension X
-
Yo! I'm back from Genting! Time to warm up! Thanks for your considerations for us rookies! Will definitely build up my skills and mental preparation for the second leg of the league! Steady!
-
Oh, I see... no wonder didn't see you around the forum nowadays. Welcome back
Hope you had a nice trip
See ya on the lanes tomorrow -
Hayden, Brendan can't make it this week. Would you like to play?
-
Sure ! Why not! Time to gain more confidence in Katong!
My last League win at Katong had definitely boosted my confidence by 20%! See ya there! CHEERS! -
Alright then,
Now Hayden can't make it.
The lineup will then be Tom, Kevin Phua, Jason and Jae. -
Jia you
