NTU trios >.<

Much awaited to test myself, today was the day of NTU trios open competition.

Much drama happened even the day before. Charlie had to pull out because of quizzes and thus the team was down and short of one member. I had no idea who to look for till i remember one of my good pals Aug. Good thing his reply was a positive one. However, more drama was to occur the next day to my surprise.

On route to West Mall, I received a sms from aug saying that he just woke up and will only be able to join us at 1330hrs. That was when I was thanking myself that I actually forced him to come meet for lunch at 1215hrs. But I guessed I was glad too early. I finished my lunch at KFC before heading on to meet JY. Reporting timing was 1330. Time was 1310 when horror struck me in the form of an sms from aug. "u all go ahead. I'll reach asap"(or at least it was something in that manner).

At the alley itself, we were at a lost, cause we couldn't figure out what to do. 1 bowler short was not an option. Somehow, just to cut the story short, he came just before everything. And we managed to get a smooth sailing start. But that didn't last for long. My feared problem in the form of a stuck thumb hole resurfaced just halfway through the first game. I fought on hard due to the stuck thumb hole and later started to affect every aspect of my game, especially my mental game. For someone who prides his release as a spinner, I felt hell freezing over. However, I perservered onto using that ball believing that I'm at fault. That happened to be one of my mistakes I guess. I blew the games, wasted spares and missed mulitple simple shots. Felt like my National School's 'A' Div Nightmare...

After the tournament, we decided to carry on bowling just for fun and I found my problem in terms of a ball with differing pitch. Or at least that's what I've suspected it to be. Still pretty puzzled, I've concluded that I shouldn't switch balls at the moment, in view of the upcomming selections. Hope I get throught this time round... >.<
