In the midst of struggling with my uni assignments.....I wanna a break. My brain screams for a rest. Gone for bowling yesterday to de-stress. And it does help a lil. But I've gotten some minor pain on my arms due to the exertion of my muscles...long time no exercise. Guilty...guilty....
Guess what....Am representing my school in a bowling competition, organised by our state education department. What a joke...me the famous "Longkang bowler" !
My team comprises of three teachers including yours truly. FYI, yesterday was our first and once of a life time training session and we will be heading our way to the competition tomorrow. My last throw at the bowling alley was more than a decade ago during my college days. And now in my late 30s, having me return to the alley. Never mind...Young at heart..!
I was informed that there'll be 20 teams altogether from 10 participating schools in our 'daerah'. My team, we named ourselves "Permai Princess".
My main focus now is to bring down as many pins as possible and collect points for my team so that we could bring home a trophy and make my school proud.
And I justfound out that bowling is a good form of exercise. It helps in burning calories and works muscle groups not usually touched. The flexing and stretching works tendons, joints, ligaments and muscles in the arms and promotes weight loss.....WOW. Look at thta...all the benefits.
It also has psycho-social benefits for it strengthens friendships among us colleagues in school. We see each other day in day out and at times got entangled in office politics. In a game of bowling, we can brush aside the feud and get closer......Don't you think it's wonderful ?
