I Got 212!

Saturday, April 9th, 2005

Picture116_07apr05 Yesterday evening, I went to new bowling alley in the Mall across to my office. It had been 10 months since the last time I played, It was exciting to play it again. I went there together with my bosses, Mr. Doddi and Mr. Hirohashi, and my colleague, Ms. Metty. You know, we went there on a special purpose. We had to prepare ourself for a bowling competition next week. The competition itself will be held by HSBC and the prize is very inviting. Although we had not played for long time, we still had confidence to perform in this coming event. I think, Ms. Mety and Hirohashi’s bowling skill are enough to make us away from the bottom line. at least, we intent not to Toyota in front of other HSBC’s customer. When we got there, we found that there were another Toyota-men there, What a nice coincidence, we could play and had fun together.

Eventhough It was our initial training, the result was excellent. in the 3rd game I got 212 points, it was about 8 strike, 2 spare and 1 got 9. Amazing! I had not ever got those scores before. As far as I could remember, my highest score was 172. My teammates believed that if I managed to keep my consistency to play like that, we could win the competition. However, I didnot want to feel overconfidence, because I was afraid that it was only my luck. You know, First time exercising and breaking the records. No matter the results was,the most important thing, I got accustomized again with the bowling atmosphere and instinct. I got a key to play "madly" like that. I was sure that I had to control my arm to control the bowl towards the right pins. Besides, I must have harmonized my movement and controlled over my breath. I didnot have to rush hitting the target. As long as it hit perfect spot, the strike would be an easy aim to achieve.

Picture114_07apr05 Well, Amazing I guess. Today, I get congratulations from many friends. I dont know how the news can be spread so fast. I hope I dont become overconfidence and arrogant because of it. Or perhaps, it was a sign, I should play bowling more often.

So when can we play again?

Main Basket

Wednesday, April 6th, 2005

Picture111_06apr05_1Badan saya pegal sekali sekarang. Setelah lama vacum main basket, sore ini kami memulai permainan ini lagi. walau cara latihan kami bukanlah latihan profesional, tapi lumayanlah untuk mnghabiskan kalori dan menyegarkan tubuh. Sehat itu bukan hanya tidak sakit bukan? tapi juga bagaimana agar kita senantiasa merasa segar dan fit. pegel itu fit kah?

Kami tadi main basket hanya bertujuh. cuma main satu ring saja, three on four jadinya.Menurut saya hal ini adalah awal yang lumayan untuk menggiatkan lagi kegiatan di divisi saya. Di divisi saya ini ada kebiasaan yang unik. Orang-orangnya mau aktif kalau ada yang bergerak, dan kalau kita bergerak terlalu lama/konstan, jadi pada cepat bosan. Tapi yang salut dari rekan-rekan saya ini adalah mereka mau aktif, mau berbasah2 keringat walaupun untuk ukuran usia mungkin terpaut beberapa level di atas saya. salut deh buat Bapak-bapak yang masih bugar. makanya saya suka menjadikan mereka cermin. Harus tetap semangat dan sehat, jangan lupa fun.

Kalau badan sudah pegal begini, paling enak pulang dan tidur. Tapi seperti hari-hari sebelumnya, masih banyak PR nih. Sampai besok…
