Bowling was my sport of choice before I lost my sight to an accident. I remembered having good and bad days on the lanes then. I picked it up again in 2002 after they introduced the guide-rail for blind bowlers. Using a four-step approach and a little guidance from my coach, I was able to manoeuvre the ball just like any other bowler. And just like before, I too had both good and bad days. So when things don’t go my way, I don’t dwell on it. I tell myself I’m not going to get all the lucky breaks or roll a perfect game every time. It’s all part of the game. So no matter what comes your way, stay poised and move on. There’s always the next frame.

Composure.

That’s the Singapore Spirit I’m taking to the Games!
