i'm sorry.
knowing that rj lost 4th place by only 10 points, and similarly i fell by 10 positions from ytd, it is really a devastating feeling.
so now we're 6th. can u believe it - we were 4th for 2 days, on the 3rd day tjc suddenly came out of nowhere when we thought cjc were our closest competitors. we were behind by 19 points and today vjc suddenly overtook us as well even though we decreased the gap by 9 points.
james, jeryl and lowell all played well today, tt's y we improved. i played like i only started bowling ytd, tt's y we lost.
if u knew what went wrong, it's ok. u could pick urself up easily. but the prob is i dunno wad happened. after 5 splits ( 3 consecutive ) i thought i was playing gutterball online. but again in gutterball u could strike the rest of the frames and still get a decent score. here at occ i just couldn't get my first ball right. on the 8th frame of the final game, my score was 88, and i thought, since there is no way of fighting back i might as well just play to please the crowd.
thanks 3r, j3s and the councilors for coming down to support us. u all really helped a lot by affecting the concentration of the acjc girls, tt's y our girls had a strong chance to win. thanks for shouting our names and cheering after every shot, because ytd we really suffered under the voices of acjc. ah and actually from tdy can really tell who were the people with character ie those who stayed at occ and not go for ice cream. i don't blame those who left - ok i feel an urge to be sarcastic but i shall just stop here. don't really want to offend ppl unintentionally. anw i alr expected a lukewarm response for our match support, esp when it clashes with free cone day. or maybe it's just the sport, or the players.
maybe if it was basketball the class would have been more enthu and stayed for the whole game, coz c'mon it's gerrard and fg. us, me and kiat. who? what? huh? bowling? how is it played? v fun to see ball roll and hit pins meh? it's not even a team game! liddat oso need to support one meh?sorry for the disappointing performance. i was so enthu abt our match support, as though i was like some pro player. ya right. u all agreed to come support us, in the end this is what i produce. hope u all had a fun time cheering and watching the better players bowl. maybe i dun deserve to be in this team - mr lee had to fight for me to get in the team.
tdy is the last time i will bowl for rjc at occ and this is how i ended my time in the cca on such a high note not?
well done girls. sorry guys.
will miss u all man.
