Let's Go Bowling





Ever since xiao ci has went for a bowling session with papa and his colleagues, she expresses interest in playing the game. Well i thought it would be good cos it is an indoor sport that does not make her perspire (due to her eczema she would start scratching all over whenever she sweats).
One of my colleague is an avid bowler and told me that there are suitable places for kids bowling and also classes for them. Good! Then if she is good in it, who knows she might be able to represent Singapore in Asian or Commonwealth Games!!! hahaha... Actually what we really want is to get her to pick up a competitive sport. This would help in getting used to challenges in life, to learn perseverance. In another words not too be too 'nuah'. I have seen too many kids giving up even before they try and not a goal in their life. It is all just either academics and academics. Ask why they need to study, they would answer 'I dont know' or ' Just study loh'. I want my 2 kids to have a goal in life, be it academically or in sports. At least they could strive to be the best and tries to achieve their goal. Whether they can succeed or not is not important.
ok ok so much for the long long story, we played only 2 rounds cos it was actually tiring. Xiao ci used a 4 pounder ball (the lightest available) and she needed Papa's help. There are 2 gutter guides to prevent the ball from going into the 'longkang'. We also got to keep entertaining BB Yun Er and prevent her from running to the lanes.

Yes, Strongly agree with you ....Kids must have a purpose in life, and I also believe in well rounded citizen. Book knowledge is important, but there are still many other skills that we want our children to learn in life, no point having great academic and don't know how to treat other people (which is their social skill is also important), and SPORTS is a BIG thing here... Know what....here if you have great book knowledge, you make yourself look like a nerd, and it's o.k. not to be good in acadamic, but it's NOT OK if you are not good in sports....compare to Sin, it's so different!! In Sin, everything is academic....really sad!!! I am getting Ethan to play golf ....haaa....
