1st ever bowling tournament - over!

i know my 2nd lesson (successful!) and e flagger bbq at xb's yet to be updated.. but today was my day!

shall talk abt it now. ok from the diagram depicted below (lol sounding like some teacher now) i attained 5th position overall out of abt.. 54 (18lanes x 3) bowlers. not too bad right! esp considering i was using only my spare ball throughout and wasn't playing too well.

it can be seen that there's a sizeable gap (104 pinfalls) btw the 1st (my coach btw) and the 2nd-5th bowlers, then a 50pin gap btw me and the 6th placed bowler, after which the point differences are negligible. goes to show that i'm in a different league from those insignificant, common gnats. i'm so proud of myself.

and from the team scores shown above, i cannot but help notice that i was instrumental in my team's relatively high ranking, esp in light of the fact that 2 of them couldn't play.

and i take whole credit for their tremendous improvement in the 2nd game, and breaking the 100 barrier for the 1st time - afterall, i'm a good teacher, having gone thru all the common mistakes that one can make.

sometimes, not being talented in something and having to work hard for it, justifies u being a good teacher in many senses. i'm not pleased abt it, but i sure am proud of it.
