Blooper and Strike


After 1.5yrs+ in this new land, I finally had a chance to play bowling again.

This is from a teambuilding activity with my client for a successful project cutover.

Before the game, I actually had a blooper to share. A few of us from our project team rode in my manager's car. We put our things in the compartment. After I went up the sports club, I remembered my socks were in the hood. I told my manager I left something in his car, he handed me the car keys.

Finding the car in the carpark was my first problem (with my bad memory). They all seemed to look alike (all in silver). I called my manager and asked for his plate number. After finding the car, I went to the left door, opened it and started searching. To my surprise, I just can't see the button. It should be somewhere at the bottom (apakan), the one you pull to open the back hood or for refilling gasoline. I was thinking there shouldnt be any difference in car structure whichever part of the world you are, right?

I settled for the next option, I went to the back of the car, planning to open the compartment with the key. Again, I couldn't see the keyhole. I called an Indian teammate KL-based who drives and asked him is there any difference with the cars here? Haha stupid as I may sound. He said from what he knows, the cars should be the same. I asked him to come down the carpark to help me.

Then suddenly a bulb lighted in my mind. I was in a hurry that I forgot, Singapore are right hand drivers. Why am I searching at the left side. I quickly went to the driver's seat at the right side and easily found the button. Whew. d*mn it. I wasnt drunk at all nor was I too stressed that day. :p

Anyway, we had 2 rounds of games. And I was VERY happy that I had a STRIKE! Note: this happens only once in a blue moon for my level hehe. Funny thing is we all had strike in that particular part of the game (look closely at the picture). There were 4 of us in the team and luckily they were all good shooters. Our team ended up 1st place among 4 teams (good thing my score didnt pull them down too low hehe) If I can score a 100 in a game, I'd be a happy man. Cheers! :p
