Went bowling with the girls today over at Ekemai. Deang's first time.
Can anybody please explain to me what the hell the idea is behind techno crap, disco lights and fluorescent balls (bowling balls, you pervert!)?
I just don't get it. People are trying to concentrate on picking of that last pin that wouldn't drop, and all this racket is going on. No wonder I suck.
Anyway, the girls loved it (must be a generation gap thing), and they all scored OK-ish. Even Daeng, although I kept being amazed that the ball actually reached the pins. Using the lightest ball they have (8 I think), she still couldn't get any speed into her throw.
Nit, however, surprised me even more. She is a tiny little runt, but man did she let that ball rip! I was waiting for the pins to explode like they do on that animation they show you. So much power in such a tiny body.
(Note to self: Never ask Nit for a handjob!)
She bowled pretty accurately as well. She scored 106, 103 and 119 in the last game, winning two out of the three games. I let her win of course :)
Took the skytrain back and since I sprung for the bill at the bowling alley, the girls bought dinner, joking that that would make us even again. Oh yeah, great deal... for them. Me, a bill for almost 2,000 Baht, them 400 Baht worth of food, split 4 ways.
Guess looking at our financial situations it was pretty fair, besides I am sure all of them will pay me back in kind one of these days ;)
The problem with spending an entire afternoon away from home though is that I now need to work this evening. No going out for me tonight.
Guess I will just have to leave my door open.
