My highest score so far...

I am posting this up just so I don't forget...My highest score achieved using the Columbia 300 White Dot passed down from hubby was 182. And I scored this on 1st August 2009. :D

I am quite happy with myself as prior to May 2009, I didn't know how to bowl at all. I didn't know the stance, the 4 steps approach and definitely did not know anything about how to spin the ball...It all started when M invited us to bowl at Olympic one fine Saturday morning. It got hubby itching because he was playing quite well even with the house balls.

Then hubby showed me the picture of the Hello Kitty bowling ball from Brunswick...I fell in love! Honestly, not with bowling but with the ball. So we went in search of the ball in the weight that I wanted and found it at a pro shop at Causeway Bay. There, hubby also bought a Columbia Momentum Swing in 13lbs. The new balls made us both itch more and so we started to play almost everyday at our apartment's clubhouse for the whole of June.

Now, we have graduated from the lousy lanes at the clubhouse and moved all our gears to MFBW. We both got our lockers and have even put our names down to join the league there! Addiction level = VERY VERY HIGH...

Weekend Update ~ Bowling

Went bowling on Saturday and literally bowled the whole afternoon away at Mei Foo Bowling World (MFBW) with hubby...13 games each from 12 noon till 4pm. Then hubby bought another ball at the pro shop, met up with M and his wife, P for dinner at Tseun Wan before heading back to MFBW again for another 3 hours of bowling. P bought a new ball too and she played so well with her new ball that she broke her own personal high scoring 199 points! Watching her play, I was screaming "I NEED A NEW BALL!!!" in my head.

Then last night, I finally got myself a new ball! It's the Wild Thing from Brunswick and I love it! I am still trying to find the best position and line for my new ball though but I loved the way it smashed the pins down when it turned in right. I just need to make sure it turn in right all the time from now.

I need to go bowl again... I am addicted...

My new addiction...

I am addicted to bowling now...have played consecutively for the past 3 days, 12 games in total and even scored my own personal best at 153. :) It all started about 2 weeks ago when hubby and I decided we ought to do some sports after work everyday, to help me loose weight precisely. So far, other than going for golf practices, we hardly do any other sports. We hate going to the gym, hubby doesn't like yoga and I can't play basketball, so it didn't take us long to decide that bowling will be good for the both of us. Golf practice is boring if we don't go to the green and it's too expensive and time consuming to go to the green often. We can only go once in a month at best? Bowling is different, we have 2 bowling alleys within walking distance from our place and we can also bring D when he comes over during his school holidays.

In order to play a good game, I have sort of perfected my 4-steps but still have to work on the throw. I have decided that I will need a bowling ball of my own and I want to have a Hello Kitty one. ;) We went hunting for the ball yesterday but have no luck. I guess I may have to settle for just anything available at the pro shop and place an order for the Hello Kitty one as a 2nd ball. Whatever it is, I think playing some games everyday is working for me. I am wearing a pair of pants which I couldn't zip up 2 weeks ago...still a little tight though but I think I am getting there.

Talk about loosing weight, I just received a call from one of the slimming centers telling me that they are looking for "slimming ambassadors" from the public as part of their promotional programs. The slimming package will be given to me for free but in return, I will need to attend their promotional events at least 4 times in a year. In the event, I can choose to be filmed or not to be filmed. For eligibility, the lady asked me if I am over 110lbs and told me that I will need to go to one of their slimming centers for assessment with the slimming consultants. Just the other day when I was inside the MTR station, I was checking out the slimming advertisment billboards and was wondering if I would need to go to one of them to help me loose weight. Coincidence? Should I really go for it? Will it be a scam?

Hmm...
