Tackling Bowling

Dominique Thoughts

Ryan showing Roy how to bowl

Roy has been asking to go bowling for ages. Every time we pass by a bowling alley he would ask to go in to take a look.  He has this fascination with balls and bowling and loves to see the bowling ball knocking down all the bowling pins.  At that time he was a tad too young  for even the lightest 6 pound ball. Roy had to be contented with playing bowling on the WII-FI instead.

Our Bowling Shoes

Today was the first time that we managed to go bowling with both boys. I’m surprised that they even have bowling shoes in Roy’s size which is smaller then the traditional Size 1 shoes.  They had a whale of a time trying to get the ball to knock down the pins. We got the bowling center staff to put up the gutter rails for the boys so that their balls would not fall into the gutter.

It has been nearly 8 years I guess since I last went bowling. My skills are really rusty as many balls that I threw ended up in the gutter. Maybe I should have played in the boy’s lane instead.  R scored much better then me even though he hasn’t been playing for a similar number of years as I have.

Can you guess which score belongs to which boy?

Weekend Reflections- T3

Dominique Thoughts

The weather has been rather gloomy lately. It has been raining quite a bit and bringing the kids outdoor was out of the question. We ended up at Terminal 3 for lunch and the boys were really thrilled when they saw the slides. After checking with the height chart only Ryan is able to ride on the slide as he is above 110cm. Roy will have to wait till he is slightly older and taller before he is able to have a ride on the slide.

The slide was opened at Terminal 3 earlier on this year. When it first opened it was extremely crowded. However as the months passed and the novelty wore out the crowd dwindled. This suited us well as Ryan need not queue for a long time before he could go on the slide. He also was able to have more tries on the slide while we were there.

Parking at the airport used to be very expensive. However with the recent introduction of $2.50 for the first three hours on weekends it has made it more affordable for us to visit T3 more frequently. The food there at the food court is also very delicious and moderately priced. The dim sum, carrot cake and charsiew bao servings are generously and taste much better then some of the Chinese restaurants which we have been to.

How has your weekend been?
