Ugh... Why do I like "money games" so much?...

DISCLAIMER: I'm in such a good mood right now I don't know what I'm typing. So please do not flame me, send me death threats, incense papers or pictures of my face in an obituary. Thank you.

----------------------------------------

Weekly sports for me, I guess. Played Bowling and Pool again, this time also with Shaun and Jun Tat. I finally adapted to a style of throwing straight in Bowling and improved my shooting in Pool.

----------------------------------------

Bowling: Apparently Jun Tat and Shaun got into their school team very recently (the day before, I suppose). Nothing special happened apart from the fact I finally carved out a throwing style to remedy my I-can't-effing-throw-straight-gawddammit! problem. It worked wonders, to my surprise, since I was using a heavier ball than usual. However, straight, weakly-powered balls don't give strikes, and my aiming is too atrocious to earn myself spares. Gotta train on that next time.

And... I played until my index finger hurt. And how it hurt when it's not used to bowl, only my finger knows.

-------------------------------------

Pool: Shaun is seriously not bad, but if he was as good as they made him out to be, then I guess he's off form today. Our last game was a race to 10 points and the rules are, apart from the normal rules:

First to reach 10: Don't pay.
Second to reach: Pay 10% of total.
Third: Pay 20% of total
Fourth: Pay 30%
Fifth, the last: 40%

And the results:

First: Shaun. He was very lucky, because of the extreme unluckiness of Marcus.
Second: Kwang Yong. He got it because Marcus dropped points, literally.

Third: Marcus. He was at 9 for a period of time, but every time he potted a ball, his cue ball also decided to meet the same end. Then came a shot where he could've lost FOUR points because he hit the ball(s) so hard the cue ball and the target came flying out and according to our rules, "Ball fly out = minus 2". He was saved two points because I was leaning against the rail.

Fourth: Me. I made the luckiest shot of my life (may explain here if I feel like it). Getting fourth wasn't any use however, since I paid for everything before I received payments.
Fifth: Tat. Nothing to say about him other than he wasted free shots. REALLY REALLY free shots.

At least I know I've improved in my aiming.

--------------------------------------

And then after all this was over, I had dinner by myself. Wow.

--------------------------------------

I got shortlisted for the schorlarship on Tuesday, 8 days before the scheduled interview. I have to wear formal (wtf?) and bring documents, not excluding:

'(e) any other documents that may reflect your leadership and suitability for this award. Letters of recommendation from your Principal or Head of Department should also be included, if available.'

(even more WTF!!??!?!?!?).

And with that, I can only pray.
