GRIPS Bowling Tournament 2009

Last Saturday, the GRIPS ISC organized a bowling tournament for our fellow GRIPS friends.
The team games saw an amazing turnout of more than 40 students, alongside supporters and photographers! I was pleased to see that some of our Japanese friends, like Nakata-san also brought his children to enjoy the fun.
The energy levels of the players were running high as some began to cheer crazily on the bowling floor. It was indeed a first time for me witnessing such a competitive game amongst us here in GRIPS.
Here are just some photos of the event:


The few of us left that stayed till the last match that ended up as a 4.5 hour marathon game of bowling..
My lovely friends Nan and Ry who dropped by to wish me luck !

The Indonesian EPP team won with a total high score of 665!

The interesting Japanese students :)

Here's a picture of my favorite player of the tournament, Tashi from Bhutan.I felt that he truly embodied the spirit of the game which, in my opinion, essentially was about team spirit, enjoyment, skill and a sense of camaraderie with fellow peers. Also, his calmness in the 'storm' was definitely laudable. Go Tashi! :)
Nakata-san's children Masaya-chan and Tomoya-chan.

After an eventful match, I was pleased to invite my lovely friends from Indonesia, Phillippines, Japan etc. for a dinner at TIEC. We whipped up our best dishes to share with everyone else.

The night ended with us cycling to the Rainbow Bridge and back, followed by some random cycling in the TIEC square like kids all over again..
