Evaluation for Bowlers in the State of Selangor

I have heard from the grapevine, that there was an Evaluation for youth bowlers in Selangor, today at Ole-Ole Bowling Center. This evaluation to select potential youth bowlers to undergo development training under the banner of MSN. Can anybody confirm this?

If this is true, I am baffled why STBA04 Blog or website made no mention of this evaluation. Is this information being withheld and made known only to bowlers and/or Bowler's parents that the STBA04 favors?

The funds for the development program comes from the government's kitty. Let all the youth bowlers in Selangor, who are interested to attend the evaluation take part. STBA04 should stay transparent and impartial. Allow the Evaluators from MTBC do their job.

Just this Blog's two cents worth!

The Begining

Selamat hari raya to all. Now that the holiday season is over it's time to get cracking and shed that extra 'lemak' accumulated during the festive getaway. With renewed resolution hopefully all of us will get our acts together in starting the journey in producing our own professionals from our own households, our own backyards; never mind the historical politicking bogging the games or the association, we'll start as usual on our own. After observing the scenarios the last couple of years, conclusion drawn that if one were to make it all the way, he/she will have to go against all odds disregarding whatever happens around, and focus only to achieve triumph, only then one can even dream to be a world beater. Lets face it, only Shalin has reached there and therefore, nobody can really claim they are BIG hearted enough to take that road or to guide our youngsters to the pot of golds. We will still be a 'jaguh kampung' if we continue to bicker with mediocrities around us. So let them be and let us Be. 'Kalau nak tolong, terima kasih, tapi kalau nak suruh kita minta sedekah, takpalah'. SO, LET'S ALL SAME MINDED PEOPLE HELP EACH OTHER IN PURSUING THE ELUSIVE DREAM, INSYAALAAH.

Barnes halts Shalin’s run in semi-finals

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s Shalin Zulkifli secured her best-ever finish since joining the PBA women’s series last year when she reached the semi-finals of the season-opening Viper Championships at the Thunder­lanes in Michigan on Sunday.

Shalin had defeated top American pro Carolyn Dorin-Ballard of Keller of Texas 4-0 (255-191, 239-194, 276-253, 243-216) in the best-of-seven games first match-play in the morning.
However, her run ended when she was beaten 0-4 (184-225, 239-248, 199-212, 170-246) by another Texan, Lynda Barnes, in the semi-finals.

Shalin, who was part of the Malay­sian women’s team who returned empty-handed from the recent World Championships in Las Vegas, made the top eight quarter-finals on Saturday in a field of 20 top professional bowlers.

Tenpin Boling Perpaduan, Hari Merdeka 2009

In conjunction with this year Merdeka Celebration, the Petaling District Tenpin Bowling Association together with MILO & Sportunite, organized a bowling tournament amongst schools in the Klang Valley today, August 15, 2009.

There was a huge turn-out of participants from the Secondary Schools. However, the entry from Primary School is very alarming. There were only 4 teams from the Primary Schools that took part. So much so, that the organizers had to invite make-up teams, from Charity Homes.

Where are the rest of the Primary Schools? Were they not aware of the tournament? This would have been one of the best opportunities for schools to encourage and promote Tenpin Bowling amongst their students, since this is basically a “Fun” Tournament.

Sure enough, the participants had lots of fun during the tournament, especially the children from the Charity Homes. They threw away the basics of bowling and tournament to the winds. All they wanted to do was have great fun. All of them were eagerly waiting for their turn to bowl and some of them kept holding on to the ball while waiting. You also see all kind of bowling styles.

The winner for the Secondary School section was SMK Subang Jaya, represented by Tengku Nazrin, Victoria Chin, Kitty Lo and Wong Mei Yuen. The Individual winner for boys was Azry Haziq and the girl title goes to Wong Mei Yuen.

The Primary School section was won by SK Sri Selangor, represented by Mohd Haikal, Puteri Najia, Sim Wei Liang and Muhammad Nur Hazarizq. The Individual winners were Muhammad Nur Hazarizq and Puteri Najia in the boys and girls category respectively.

This time around, the Organizers presented Trophies, for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for both the Secondary and the Primary Schools. The winning schools ought to be proud of their school team.

The close of the tournament was accompanied by shouts of “Malaysia Bolih! Malaysia Bolih! Malaysia Bolih!” by all the participants. They were later treated to a small “Makan” of Fried Meehoon and Fried Rice with a cup of light juice to drown them down.

I am sure a lot of focus has been on the GP Finals. As I've already posted articles on the above subject on my blog and Facebook Page, I thought for a start, maybe your readers might be interested to know the Grand Prix Finals' results in more details.
