Ma look, no hands!

Quite alot of things have happened recently. Surprising.
talking nutshell-style, I went bowling yesterday with a couple of guys. I've never been bowling before (no, not once in my entire life). However, it is worth a mention that bowling and me are not exactly completely foreign to each other. I've heard that, back in jurong, there was a bowling alley nearby. Here at Chua Chu Kang, I came to know about this place, called the bukit batok CSC, a place where you could basically chill out at. There's stuff like ballrooms, pool tables, and hey, a bowling alley.
In both instances, I was very tempted to go give bowling a go for myself. Problem is, i'm a lazy kid, and i'm broke. Paying for rolling balls across a smooth floor and hitting pins at the far end just didn't sound attractive under those circumstances.
That takes us right here - today. It was an invite from Alger, to join a couple of people to go bowl. Initially, the plan was to go ice skating, but they were saying things like "where has the ice skating ring moved to???", so...
While I was looking into slackjobs for 16-years old, Alger invited me, among other people, to go. Of course, he was being very persuasive in the processs, throwing out lines of instant text messages full of singlish, such as "walao just go lah!", "wad's a class reunion without people like you?", "come on lah!". It's times like these I realize how annoying MSN can be. No, Alger wasn't the annoying one. It was MSN.
Chen Sing was invited into the conversation too, because Alger wanted to invite him. CS couldn't make it, as he had already started Polytechinc. Epic. I wished DPA had saved my sorry ass too.
CS led us somewhere else, I guess. He invited Ang Jia Jin into the conversation. CS and AJJ were playing truth or dare on MSN, and Alger suggested we joined in too. So that's how we ended up in a conversation totalling up to 4 people. I'm sparing the readers of this blogpost the juicy bits of the Truth or Dare we played, mainly because we really were being retards online. Talking nutshell-style again, CS dared me to go bowling the next day.
You bet Alger was happy. Alger even said "thank you CS!!!". >_>
...and that's how I ended up.
Bowling is admittedly fun, and the beauty of it, to me, is the how simple the game really is, and how bowling literally almost has limitless replayability value. You can bowl, and each time you do so, it WILL be different.
Of course, I sucked at it. C'mon, it was my first time going bowling. I did however manage to get a few satisfying bowls, and exactly one strike. I'M NOOB, K?
That's about it. The day was pretty eventless, if you ask me.
A slightly more eventful day would be the day where a couple of us met teja to send him off at the airport. Too bad, I just don't feel like writing about it. Perhaps viewing Joseph's videos on Facebook would give an idea of how eventful the day was. No, really. Go watch it.
