Since it’s the alumni, we travel by bus. From 10.30am in UM. We reach Pagoh around 2.30 to break and pick up Amin. He happens to be working in Johor. So its better to meet him half way compare to get him up to KL and back to Singapore. We touch down Singapore around 4.30 plus break, border clearance and such. Two buses went there with the strength of 87 people. Including other sport like badminton, golf, table tennis, squash, football, and including bowling. It’s my first time being there. So bear with me with my ‘jakunness’. Travel a lot when I was small, but never here. Sedyeh kan.? So reach the hotel and chill for a while.
An hour later, we went down to Orchard Road to check out what’s good? Fail to realized it is a place where you could see back to back shopping mall on the both side of the road. Woaw….. That’s a looong way to walk. Though we did took the bus and MRT, but most of the time we be walking. Simply wear my flip flops as was tired with my kicks. 1st trip around, I went with amin, rizz and nigel. The guys stuff and places. Sporting outlets and such. Nigel ditch us as he have to attend a best friend b’day party celebration. We went every where. Tangs, Happy Plaza, Ion at least 5km radius. Didn’t activate roaming, so my fon was turn into a camera instead. Bhahhahahaa…. IMPROVISE people. Sorry bout all those who tried to get me through. I didn’t even have the chance to say good bye. Hope yall not mad.
We came back around 9pm I guess. Take a bath for awhile and straight to team meeting. Ziran has to work late and supposedly be coming that night around. Still have a spare room. She planned to crash down at Johor that night and to Singapore that very morning before the games starts. That morning around 2am, the room phone rang. Its Ziran, and she just arrived to Singapore as a result of overshoot on the highway. So they said, why not go straight to the hotel. They came in with the whole family, so I woke up and pass the key to them instead. At least they have a room for them self as all of the room are full.
We went to the bowling alley right after breakfast. We have to check out form the hotel there and then as we be leaving to KL right after the grand dinner. The lanes are similar to BSC if you ask me. Partner nigel, azza and ziran in my mix team event. Performance was abit low actually. Got line at 1st 1 ½ game but then gone with the wind. Should have stick to that line. Overall we won with the score of PAUM 7 - NUSS 6. It was a close call, but still a win is still a win. Even if it’s a 1pin difference (still remember Udin, Yasser and Xavian broke my SUKMA 2002 trios record by 1 pin). Grrr.... That’s harsh.
After the glorious win over the NUSS we were brought to the NUS club house. The place is huge and so beautiful. Crap…! Had a last min preparation lunch which look sooo impressive. We wonder how does it look like if it was well prepared. Hrmmmm…… they makes me so envy of them. We went to Vivo city as we got plenty of time to spare. this 2nd edition, i went with the girls for shopping. why? a diffrent point of view i suppose. We went zara, top shop, guess, tangs, and owh so many outlet that i lost track. This time around went with ziran, syegha and k. norma. i tried the jacket at Zara. It was sooo nice, i drool over it. bhahhahaaa.... giler kan? the mens attire there was awsome, two tumbs up. *ting...!
came back and manage to catch some tennis action on the roof top of the club house
Dinner started around 7.30. But with all the speech and stuff we ate around 8.47. We hungreey.! Food was nice n HALAL! We had rojak, roasted chicken, mango dessert, sup kambing and etc. Really good food if you ask me. Feels like home. I suppose they cater to our taste bud and sensitivity. As we serve them Chinese dinner during our side last year. They end up with a boat race. We were wondering what type of race are they reffering to. It’s kinda like a drinking game. Went back after the dinner around 10.30pm. We reached UM around 4.43am this morning. Abg Ayien and kak Azza was kind to give me a ride back home. And that’s about it.
Would like to thank to all the bowlers of PAUM who manage to spare some time to bowl in this short friendly games among two varsity alumni. Sorry for any inconvenience that occur during this time around. Special thanks to ziran’s family that went down from Shah Alam to Johor in 3 hours to support the games. To rizz for the roaming phone that we constantly use. To Syegha’ for replacing me in the PAUM meeting (I STILL owe you big time. Just wait….!). To Nigel Pong for being our tour guide in Singapore. To Kak Norma for being 1 sporting aunty that we could tag along with. To amin wit his havoc type of personality that bring up the life in the crowd. Top Ziran who played superbly well 213 average knocking all the guys score and avg (mannn that’s insulting). To abg ayien for all the pictures that is so freakingly kewl cant wait to have them. The NUSS bowlers, organizing team and especially PAUM admin for making it happen in the first place. Cant wait for Melaka next year around. As we celebrate our silver celebration of 25th years the ties of PAUM n NUSS. Till we meet again.
Been to Philippines and Thailand before. I suppose every place has their own unique thing which makes them pop up from one another. Glad to be in Singapore, stuff is expensive but at least they are updated pretty fast in fashion and technologies. Super duper clean and walking is good for the heart. Well that’s what I think. hopefully this wouldnt turn me into a fashionista or something. lallalaaaa....
Ps: We took plenty of photos. By me myself, rizz and ayien. They have better camera than I do, so ill be waiting for them and the version of photos. So hold on..
