Bowling, 1 Strike, 0 Streak

Yesterday I went bowling with my paternal side to celebrate National Day. After that, we went to one of the club's restaurant, Sakura, to have a buffet dinner.

The bowling was terrible. I got size 6 shoes, my mother got size 4, and my brother got size 8. Wow. Big difference.

Anyway, my brother was superb in his bowling skills (compared to me).

My score was as such:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
0 0 0 8 X 9 0 7 9 0

Total up would be 49. Oh. X=Strike.

My brother helped me play round 4, and this was the first record of points at all on my...well...record.

After that, I striked on my second attempt. I was reading Prince of Tennis 5 that I bought from Jurong East MRT Station's Popular. So immediately after I rolled the ball, I turned back and stuck my nose into the tankouban.

It was when I heard my mother (my father went to work...on National Day too!) and my aunt and my uncle and a few more cheer (or something like that) and shout 'strike' that I turned and looked.

The rest were all based on luck.

My brother played 3 sets.

On the 3rd set on I-dunno-what-round, he tried using a 16 pounds ball. First, he squatted with the ball between his hands. Then he waddled forward before aiming and pushing the ball. It was so slow I bet I could out-walk it. It rolled to the right a little, then to the center, then to the left, and then went back to the center and scored a 9.

Then my brother used the same ball and rolled at that lone, standing pin.

Spare.

YAY!

So anyway, after that, we went to eat dinner. Oh wait, the club we went to was Safra. The Sakura restaurant there was quite good.

I didn't bother eating anything other than fried rice, teriyaki chicken, 3 sushis, 2 oreo cheesecakes, one white chocolate bar, one prawn, one glass of green tea, and half a glass of hot/warm water.

Oh yeah, I tried the raw salmon from my brother's sushi. It barely had any taste.

I stole the prawn from my brother's plate. It was freezing cold cuz it was dumped in ice. My fingers were numb for a whole 2 minutes after I peeled it.

The prawn was a little spicy, my brother told me he put a little Tobasco sauce on it. Tobasco sauce is a kind of pepper sauce.

There was this stand with a round base and a thin metal stick sticking out from the middle of the base. On it was a round surface reading '48' for table 48. Around the stick were 4 clips. 2 pink (yuck), 1 green, and 1 blue. Only the blue was opaque.

First, I used it as a gun to aim at my sister, who was mixing Tobasco sauce with wasabi and soya sauce and also a little of the white chocolate that broke off from my bar and landed on the table.

We created a few versions.

Then my brother suggested the clips be ammos.

So before he fires, he places a clip onto the stick, and after he fires, he places another one and fires again.

That was the start of the 'Tobasco Gun' invention.

My brother took clips from table 47.

So I arranged the clips in a fashion that all 8 of them were spread equally around the base and chucked it on my sister. It seems she did the same with those from other tables.

All her clips were pink. *shudder*

This version was the 'Tobasco Toy Gun'. The aim is to knock off as many clips from the opponent's gun as possible without having yours knocked out.

So I lost...sadly.

Then we came up with a new invention. 'Tobasco MegaBlast Version X'. I named it. +D

It was 4 clips placed with equal distance from each other at the base and also has 4 as ammos. This Tobasco MegaBlast Version X blasts a large amount of Tobasco sauce into the enemy's face.

The 'Tobasco Feeder' was invented by my brother. It requires at least a minute of preparing the gun, all the big showy actions, just for a second's spray of Tobasco sauce.

Of course, from its name, the Tobasco Feeder stuffs the Tobasco sauce into the enemy's mouth instead of just blasting it into the face.

'Tobasco Bubble Gun' was just created out of luck. We imagined blasting bubbles from the gun and while people think it's just normal bubbles and pop them, the Tobasco sauce, with all its hotness, will burn the parts that come in contact with it!

There was also the 'Eye Lock'. It's not much. Just something that you can put over your eye to aim.

Oh yeah, and as long as there are clips on the base and they are arranged in a way that they intersect at a point, it will be an aimer which acquires a target and shoots.

The more clips the more arrows, and also, the target's face would blink.

That was my brother's idea.
