Introducing Archery and Lawn Bowling...

I received a short message from my friends inviting me to this wonderful event here at SDK's Sports Complex before 3p.m whereas the gathering starts at 4p.m. As usual, we wore BEC Indah Jaya's uniform(t-shirt) and Claire gave me a lift :)

for THIS!! Archery ! Got a chance to try it, perhaps once in a lifetime. The honorable Datuk Peter Pang En Yin, our Sabah Youth and Sports Minister is also here to share the joy, which makes this event special for each and everyone of us.

first time got to see bows and arrows closely, and actually get to use them!

last but not least, we got the chance to try it! Yay~~! kinda fun actually, how sad, I'm too late to queue up! :(

Unfortunately, it's a no-try this time, huhuhuhu..just lost a once n a lifetime chance! But I heard from most of my friends that it is quite hard to aim the target. Eventually, we moved on the next session that is, lawn bowling. So we started down by car to the lawn bowling rink.

balls o.O quite heavy...

'The object of lawn bowling is to roll the ball, closest to the target ball, a small white ball called a jack. The ball's design, slightly flattened on one side, creates the challenge of the game. The shape of the ball causes it to travel a curved path, or bias.' See the white little ball, that's the jack.

'A rubber mat is placed at one end of the lawn bowling rink and the jack is placed in the center. Players roll each of their balls toward the jack. The player must keep one foot on the mat when releasing the ball.' Get the idea of it? pretty simple but challenging.

hello evening!! Before camwhoring - had some tea and sandwiches together, very delicious!

We had a great time together, especially when we're all from St. Mary's Church.
