My first bowling experience
Yesterday, Kelyn and I went bowling at Marina Square. We were actually supposed to go 2 weeks before, but it kept getting rescheduled. The other girls couldn't come along because they've all started working already (except for us 2...hehe).
It was my first time bowling, so I was a bit excited but when we arrived at the bowling alley, I got a bit nervous because there was absolutely nobody there! But the door was open, and it did say that it was open. So we went in. We waited for a while until a guy came to the counter.
I found that bowling is much harder than it seems. I couldn't throw the ball hard enough. So, during the times that the ball didn't go into the longkang, it's speed was very slow. I even dropped the ball twice while swinging it back for the throw. My arm is aching today.
Anyway, after the first game, people started coming in. Mainly just office workers, and they played like pros man.
After bowling, we ate at KFC. All in all, the outing was good. We chatted and caught up. Sorry I couldn't stay longer Kel. I promise we can stay the whole day out when I get my period..hehe. We're planning another outing next Saturday with Yu En, and maybe Jojo and Shereen. I hope all of us can make it so we won't have to reschedule again. We MUST keep in touch. Kel and I were talking about being worried that we'll lose contact of each other after all of us have jobs. I really hope that won't be the case.
Anyway, I've begun writing my Supernatural fanfiction. It's tentatively titled "A Woman's Woes". I've only completed the first chapter and am now in the process of writing the second chapter. It's only about a third done. I have to say, writing this stuff is much harder than it seems. Because there are rules in writing. Like how to start and close a dialogue. My main focus for this story is to stay true to the characters. I'll post the link of my story here once I've completed it. But it'll be a while yet because I'm very meticulous about every single thing. I just want to be proud of my first attempt.

How I've been keeping busy
Now that school's over, I've suddenly found myself with a lot of time in my hands. The obvious thing to do is look for a job right? Well I have, but I've only applied at 1 place. And that is the library. They've yet to get back to me. I'm choosy when it comes to searching for a job because my main concern is whether or not they'll allow me to wear tudung, let alone pray.Still I have been keeping myself busy. Twice a week, I have religious classes(mengaji). On Friday I have my organ lessons and on Sunday I go to madrasah. But those only occupies a fraction of my time. The rest of my time is spent immersing myself in Supernatural! I just can't help it. The show has practically taken over my life.Everyday, I would visit the Supernatural fansite at www.supernatural.tv. It has the most up to date information on the show and the actors. Then, I would read the fanfictions; they're fan-made stories of the show. And I read these stories at www.supernaturallville.net. But www.fanfiction.net has more. In fact, it has over 14,000 stories. Supernatural has the 2nd highest number of fanfictions. 1st is Buffy the Vampire Slayer with over 35,000 stories and counting because there are still many hardcore Buffy fans who write fanfictions.So, with over 14,000 stories, how can I not go bored huh? I would read story after story. It's not as though I enjoy all of the stories, but it's more of the urge of finding a nice story which has properly interpreted the essence of the show and of course the characters. Some of the stories I've read just made me wince or roll my eyes because sometimes the fans write wrong information about the show into their stories or made the characters just so different. For example, on the show, Dean is portrayed as the protective, macho, snarky brother who hides away his emotions while Sam is the empathetic one who isn't exactly emotional, but doesn't hide his feelings behind a mask. But in some of the fanfictions that I've read, they've taken the extremes of the brothers' characters; Dean is very hardened and overly protective of his brother, who takes in every bullet, punch and kick thrown at him so that his brother won't have to suffer them while Sam is super emotional and needs a hug from Dean whenever he breaks down. Every time I read something like this I'll be like come on la! Do you even watch the show? And shockingly, people actually like those stories! What is worse is there're even incest stories!!! I became an unknowing victim once. At that time I didn't know what incest was. I didn't even know about fanfiction. One day, I was surfing for Supernatural stuff when I came across a story written by a fan. So I thought, ok, let's check it out. I was reading until I came to the middle and just thought, what the hell is going on? Where are the supernatural bad guys? I continued reading and realized, to my horror, what was happening. I quickly closed the window. And at that time, I thought that was what fanfiction was about and refused to read any more Supernatural stories, until much later, when I came across supernaturalville. So that was how I got hooked to fanfiction.After getting so frustrated over the wrong infos and wrong interpretation of the character, I've finally decided to try my hand at writing a story. It is still in its planning stage. Hopefully, I'll do the show some justice. But mind, there are quite a few fantastice stories, and I've been keeping the ones that I favour.Anyway, Supernatural aside, last Thursday, Kel, Yu En and I met up for lunch. I was kind of expecting that it'll only be the 3 of us from the start because the others are kind of occupied ( I don't want to say too much).We met up at Cineleisure but ended up eating at KFC at Taka. It was nice, even though it was only the 3 of us. We chatted and caught up. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay very long because I got to pray. So after I left, Kel and Yu En went to watch a movie. Next Wednesday, we'll be going bowling! I can't wait because I've never bowled before. Got to remember to bring my camera..hehe. Well that's it for me. See you girls on Wednesday!!!
