Bowling 101

Abang and I went bowling today!

I hadn't done it in ages and it was so much fun. We checked out the bowling alley at Alamanda, Putrajaya, mainly because it's generally less zoo-like than other malls especially during the school holidays. (By the way, Abang also did go to the real, 4-legged animal zoo for a school trip. More on that later.)

It was very cheap to play there - RM4 per game and RM2 for shoe rental. They also have smaller bowling balls for children to use plus they can put the barriers up on each side of the lane so that the ball doesn't roll into the longkang.

It was so funny to see Abang pick up the bowling ball off the rack and go, "Oof. This is heavy." And then he sat on the floor (wearing children's bowling shoes, so cute) trying to get his fingers in the respective holes. In retrospect, he didn't really need to because he had to use both hands to carry the ball up until the line anyway. Then he put it down on the floor between his legs and pushed the ball as hard as he could. Once the ball rolled so s-l-o-w-l-y that it stopped just after it hit one pin.

The barriers could explain the few spares that Abang got, what with the ball bouncing off the right barrier, then the left barrier and then, lo and behold, it hit the pins! YEA! Although, *ahem* Mummy got a strike - which obviously had nothing to do with the barriers.

After bowling we went to Waffle Stop for a waffle stick with ice-cream on top. Ooooooo ... that was yum-meeee. A very reluctant Abang came home with me, all tired and happy.
