Accidental Hero


A little bit late to the office today...! There always few traffic jammed on the way..! Al-Corniche route, I thought that only during Ramadan it always be happening but not...Anyway, today we are planning to join the crowd for the Bid Celebrations. Seen a few big (not so big for rich country like Qatar...) white screen starting from the middle, where the antelope species(Oryx Mascot) standing up to the lepak area near Sheraton. Thinking of parking the car there and walk along Corniche Walking Path, don't know my kids/wife could afford to walk or not, but definitely I can foresee a big crowd, with a little bit of showing-off (from some people) and a terribly 'Sardine' like stuck (in the dark) on the road tonight, but what the heck once in a blue moon.

Don't know Rizal's (kentz) family and Others....maybe they have their own plan, or maybe I could use their escape route.


Plan to escape to QBC after that, [after the fireworks (they say..!), or Nancy Ajram's song ( if she is performing- my kids are the Ajram-Natic - now they learned arabic through her song, we bought the CD for >QR50 ...], maybe after a few frames, then we'll go home. If got stuck very badly in the crowd, then tomorrow definitely it ( to QBC coz very long time don't see the lanes --- we love to bowl like crazy...! besides solving the most challenging SUDOKU, you can see from the trophy earned by K.Pah and Che Aiman, within 2 wks here, during MAQ Bowling Merdeka Tournament)And also I'm the only M'sian who enter the Ramadan Tournament, which the prize money for A-Bowler QR 15k, and B-Bowler QR10k. I did the MQ (Master Qualifying) for 3 times only, 3 games for each one, and the best 6 games will be count to for selecting the best 16 bowlers in each category. Then the best 8, 4, 2 and lastly the champ.

I could not go and do the MQ so often coz, you know Ramadan is the month of AMAL so ....eeeheemmm..!

My average so far here, in QBC would be 180, I could not find the consistency here, maybe due to psychology effect, or maybe we are not bringing our own ball(...excuses!), or maybe I have to change from Spinner to playing the 'Hook'. Thought of getting the hooked ball here, 14-15lbs, spin ball for my weight is only 12lbs max, and there are nobody else here in QBC playing spin ball, that is why I'm nervous, thinking of it might be illegal for a certain House.(--because of the oiling, etc --- just guessing) and this is the psychology that I was talking about! Actually bowling is not the energy sport, we compete mentally and definitely not like soccer, where the score could go more than infinity (we also beaten in futsal - 0-20/0-16 against Qatari's team in the Tournament recently - I'll talk about that later) it is the game of mind, we are playing, fighting with own-self, high discipline, planning carefully, taking time before throwing the ball and hitting the 'right' pocket, maybe just like golf but who are bowling can't go for golf because it will jeopardize the swing.
Oklah! I'll talk more about bowling when I come to it some other time..!
The pix is 'Giant'-nickname, my bowling buddy from QA.
