Bowling… The Past , Present and The Future
Saturday, March 4th, 2006It has been years since i left bowling. All de memories of throwing the ball, hooking it into the 1-3 pocket that gives a Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound of a boom due to the amount of weight and speed of my lovely 8 years old Zone Red Alert ball which causes the pins to fly all over the place. Yes, the feeling is great and it is time to live back those moments. When i was in high school, i would normally walk to the bowlin centres such us Top Bowl or BJ Bowl with my neighbours like Tzelic ( Clitoris Chong ) and Ming Yu ( nicknamed preferred to be kept privately, haha ) It all started when i was 6 years old, right after i got my UPSR results i was so bloody happy cause i had straight A’s *haha not anymore*. As far as i remember, friends that were with me was Kanagerajan, Harris, Farhan, Eddy and few more. We decided to go bowling the next few days i think. Haha. When we got there we were very excited, we always wanted to know how this sport works. My first game i think i got 40-50 pins in total. LOL.
I found out both my parents were bowlers. So my dad would take me out for some bowling sessions and guiding me in my noob style of bowling. As days, weeks and months passed by, i got better and decided to be serious in this sport. Got myself a bowling ball and a bag. Man i thought the price for my bowling ball (RM7++) was expensive but its still having the same price till now, for good ones.
Back in PFS, position of President of PFS Bowling Club was jus passed down among us friends. How often do u see 3 neighbours, all in Penang Bowling Team and all three were presidents of the club. So it started with Chong Tzelic then me and lastly Ming Yu. Ming Yu was a better bowler, left hander hook players are also nicknamed, natural born hookers haha due to natural talents. Hooker is a just a term used among bowlers for hook bowlers (Hook - where the ball will rotate and curve in a certain axis to form almost a fish hook shape)
Now, i’m still using back that ancient bowling ball which has lost its reactivity… so it means i got to maximise my finger tip power to lift the ball to give maximum impact. Just spent Rm145 to redrill my ball and adjusting slightly to my finger span. I just hope to be able to enter some minor competitions and own it just for the sake of my testimonial in the future. So to any people out there who loves bowling, please send me a message. I’m glad cause i have a bowling partner who is nicknamed Xvalour ( Jon / Parasite Arm ) We share alot of laughters and giving ridiculous bets over our scores and frames. GEEEEEEE GGG.
PS : To those from PFS year 84, please send me a message, would be great to update on your whereabouts.
