Angah was rather calm...he actually went to the extend to tailor made the shirt he wore..embroidered with his name. He did it on his own only get the cash from me...if only he told us, we would have get a nike or adidas for him...but he being him..kan...alwasy memandai..anyway...
He did well....i cant remember his placing for the under12th but it was not bad at all...i think below 15...tak hingat lah. Angah has always been good in sports..it looks like a natural skills to me...so we were quite comfortable sending him to the tournament.
We all wore red for Angah.! Supporters with theme colour ha..ha..ha..
On the other hand, Along...ah...u can obviously see he was so pucat
...sejuk tangan semua and ours as well. When they had their first rounds of free throws...every throws ended in the "longkang"...me and abah were so worried...worried like hell...seriously! It doesnt really matter if he lose...taht is actually anticipated already...as this is their first try....but we were so worried how he would feel if al throws ended in the longkangBut when the game started, miracle happened ...he striked his very first throw...I guess he managed to grip himself and he did so well the first game...i almost cried...dah lega sangat...but after that....disasters happened again...he was like a yo -yo..2nd and 3rd and 4th games were all ke laut...scoring like 120ish...and picked up again at later games but that was too late....lack of concentration maybe and perhaps still developing the skills...and he ended up at last place...haiyoooooooooo ha..ha..ha...what an experience lah...
But Along being Along...he took it selamba rock aje...
Then we went down to KL...the circuit was held at Shalin's...The place is too small ..I think the Kuantan allay is much better in terms of the space and segregation of viewers and players area...but this place is shiny new!
Now keadaan terbalik pulak...Angah being as sporty as he is....can at time be very moody and emotional...and that was what happened....his first game was not so good and he started to show tantrum...playing with emotion...scolding the ball....showing his anger and all that...and ended up with lower average than what he ususally scores.If only he can control his emotion and follow abah's guidance , he could have scored better. He actually cried right after....I think sebelum org marah baik dia nangis dulu...ha..ha..ha..
Then Along's turn...once again risau nya bukan main...the free throws...ok...cantik semua...tehn the first game started...the very first throw...kedebuk...he actually slipped and felt down..adoiii...can you imagine how we felt...macam runtuh jantung...was so worried that the fall will affect the whole game...but remember i mentioned Along is the cool type ...selamba like nobody business.....sama macam mata kuyu dia tu...he was ok..and able to played well in the remaining games...perghhh lega...and his average increased and he was not the last...cant remember his number but at certain point he was qualified for the next round...perghhh lega...
I tell you if it was Aimran/Angah who felt down...habis disaster satu bowling center tu...ha..ha.
Now they are still playing...we will join more tornaments...it is fun actually watching the boys playing and joining the circuit...we learn many things along the way...in the preparation and during the tournament itself.
We slow down a bit now to give more rooms for revisions on UPSR and PMR...so they only practice once a week (with the coach) from the normal twice a week.
Adib is also learning...and he actually had joined the first circuit for 2013 selection for under 11th..and he was no 19 from 51...i was late by a few minutes and not able to watch him playing...sayang betul!
There will be more update on bowling as we move along...take care all! By the way, the Kuantan Megalane has been re furbished nicely for the SUKMA....cantik and kilat bersih ugak kan? :)
