Family Fun

went to the newly revamped CSC (chinese swimming club) for an advanced birthday celebration with my family! the place where i hung out most to learn swimming, practised badminton, ate dinner, swung on the swings which my sis and i used to snatch for, ran in the playground with dripping wet feet from the water, aimed the froggie fountain at passerbys, lay cosily snug up in the air-conditioned TV room and balanced on the floating buoys in the pool--- basically my childhood fun, has been torn down and a total new building's in its place.

i've reminisced enough of the innocent, worry-free fun i once had and its chugged nicely away in a secret corner of my mind thats not easily revealed (: well, life has to go on and new memories have to be created! --- which were created today!

first, we went bowling. it was friggin cold k. it was the first time we were in the new bowling alley. well, i havent bowled for like 1 year at least. come to think of it, i dont remember when was the last time i bowled =P i remember we went bowling during the 3hm outing last year but i only sat at a side to watch. okay, so based on my rarity of this sport, i expected my bro (who usually bowls with his buds) to thrash us all. BUT! but but but. i actually beat him!! hahahahaha.

here was the score taken halfway during the game:


i'm M (michelle), and he's W (william). P's my sis and H's my dad :D
look! im 49 while he- 39!


see see see - my score's 62 while his 56! managed to overwhelm him with my spare heh heh.

ahh but anyway. the nail on my right thumb broke while i tried too hard to swing the ball out and during the second game my performance was a vast contrast from the first as my weight7 ball kept opting to settle into the drain instead of hitting the pins. my mum, who joined for the second game thrashed us all, while my dad was full of antics.


my dad, when he almost scored a strike!


this is what my bro does when he manages to hit only a few pins or his ball goes into the drain--- *wide grin*


me, after hitting a spare (:


my sis, when she finally scored an 8 after consecutive nils =P


my dad bowls just like he's golfing. maybe its cos his fingers are too large and he could only go for the bowling balls with huge holes :D

oops, no pics of my mom but i can tell u she was bragging away ^-^

alright next up,we went to play badminton while dad &mom rested. the court was actually charged for $3 an hour but we managed to sneak in and played on for gosh knows how long w/out anyone finding out WA HA HA.

i shan't suffice u with the details but we went swimming after the sweaty games of badminton. there're currently four pools in the club.
an olympic sized pool
a water-polo pool
a baby pool
and a wading pool

sis and i first headed to the wading pool while we, well waded in the water =D and raced too. bro joined us while we headed to the waterpolo pool which we were promptly chased out of by a lifeguard which proclaimed it to be closed.

so we settled for the olympic-sized pool then. balancing along the divider ropes and stuff, the ferocious wind whammed against us.
1. because there were no tall buildings or anything nearby and it was a flat open-space with the pools, thus loads of abundant wind
2. the east coast was nearby :D

we had enough fun challenging one another with who has the longest breath and bombarding one another with splashes of water. so we got up to change. it was the first time i stepped into the new female changing toilet and boy has it totally changed 180degrees.

it's huge and the shower comes down from the top while you're surrounded with high grey walls (i kinda felt like i was in prison hahhaha). and the hairdryers, weighing machine and air-refreshner provided was a luxury i guess. for a while there i thought the members fee was kinda worth it.


scented petals gave the toilet a nice fragrance.

the night ended off with a sumptuous meal and a dessert of ice kachang!
i love icekachang, it was delicious with the icecream coated with durian at the top =D


oh they're inside! gotta rush in to join them for dinner, BYE!(:

misunderstood :(
