The Winning Mentality - Let your action dictate
Being passionate about tenpin bowling is not good enough. You need to have the right attitude, set a realistic goal with disciplined conviction, time management and consistency, good fitness and nutrition, and the positive energy to perform beyond your limits. When your commitment impedes your normal lifestyle, you need to make that sacrifice. You need the will and the right way to take action. Your success depends on your determination and grit. Your performance needs Results! Every tournament is an opportunity for you to chase your dream. Embrace the failures along the way, take notes, and acknowledge it. Ask for help. Establish a support network. Take pride in upkeeping your equipment. Change is inevitable, make it early, and move forward. 
While being competitive is healthy, do make it a habit to practice fair play and sportsmanship in the spirit of the game. Our choices and our past always have a way of catching up to us no matter how hard we try to make them go away. Hence, play the game with dignity. There is this maxim, Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.  Respect is never a given, it has to be earned. 
​​​​​​​And, do remember that your Body Language mirrors your thoughts. You are only a team player when you offer spirited encouragement and positive communication to your teammates.
Please portray yourself as an ambassador of this sport when it arises. Pass It Forward.
​​​​​​​Be generous in sharing your learned skills and experiences with others when asked for. 
​​​​​ "When we teach, we learn." Its like a self-refresher. That's the Joy of Giving.

​​​​​​​Forewarned: If you are coming to Malaysia for the first time, please be prepared for the Culture Shock. It is quite normal for everyone to talk to you at the same time before you have the chance to reply. And it is not unusual for you to be interrupted by others as well as the person you are talking to while you are in the midst of your talk. At times, the conversation topic can change unexpectedly. It could be a habitual behaviour. Sometimes you wonder if they are listening to what you say. They talk for the sake of talking. The Malaysian English accent, grammar, talking excitingly fast with hand gestures and a fusion of Bahasa, Chinese and English in a conversation can be quite daunting. I do wonder sometimes whether their brain can keep up with their mouth. Malaysian​​​​​​s do get overly enthusiastic about their chat and the food. Food is something that you cannot escape from in Malaysia. It's Everywhere. Eating wherever whenever is a way of Life.
Surviving the Day: Be mindful of the people and the situation around you. Pick up the habit of exchanging pleasantries. A simple courtesy can have a lasting impression. Be genuine with your eye contact and conversation. It makes the other person feels special and you to be appreciated. Show your social grace and you might end up exchanging FB, Instagram, Whatsapp. By the way, part of the Malay culture is that when people offer you food, it is polite of you not to decline. Your left hand should never be used to handle food under any circumstances. If the food is that delicious and you need a little bit more, the etiquette is to leave some food on your plate before you top up. If there is a couple pieces left on the dish plate, do not take the last piece. Both remaining pieces are to be taken simultaneously by you and the person before you. Every grain of rice is sacred hence, you should only scoop enough rice that you can consume. If you are invited to dinner, do bring "buah tangan" - a gift of fruits or sweeties. That's the Malaysian Way. Do be open-minded.​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​Current Frame Scoring System 
In the Current Frame Scoring system, a strike counts as an automatic 30 points,  a spare counts for 10, plus the first-ball count in the current completed frame. It doesn’t matter what you knock down in frame number 2, and an open frame counts for actual pins knocked down. There is no “third ball” to roll in the 10th frame, nor are there any extra balls to roll in the 10th frame because your score is an immediate score. A strike in the 10th frame, it’s simply an automatic 30 points in frame number 10, so with this new scoring method, you don't need to bowl ball 11th and 12th, a 300 game is still possible, but only 10 strikes score the perfect game. The same applies to the Spare on the 10th frame. Hence, the 10th frame counts the same as all other frames. The maximum score for a perfect game is still 300. 
Standard Scoring System is when you bowl a strike in a frame, the score for that frame is always 10 plus the next two balls rolled, a spare in a frame, the score for that frame is always 10 plus the next ball rolled.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

An Extract - Bowls is one of the few sports that crosses age and gender barriers, allowing men and women of different ages to compete with and against each other.  Only in bowls could a school student team up with a retiree (and 1990 Commonwealth Games medal winner) to win the Wellington mixed pairs title as Euan Wong (18) and Judy Howat (76) did in 2011!

​​​​​​​Truthfulness is to strike and defend without deception. Nothing is Truer Than Truth.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but rather in humility. Value others above yourselves. Philippians ch2: 3  

 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly; I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
 For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. 
​​​​​​​Ecclesiastes ch1: 17 - 18

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
