speed of light

after having this much fun for the past 2 weeks and today, i suddenly feel the discomfort of leaving my company and my colleagues in another 2 weeks' time. if anything, time is the one thing that travels faster than the speed of light. it doesn't sound right in any way since speed is measured on time, but you get what i mean.
we went bowling again today and again, it was great fun. this time, we played 3 games. we didn't fare too well in the first. but when liam announced that the winner of the men's and women's 2nd game will officially report to work an hour later, zen and kell's score went soaring. from a mere 49 in the first game, zen managed a 120+ for the 2nd. that's almost 3 times her previous score and kell hit a turkey. see the power of time-off...
i still didn't manage to do too well in the 2nd game. thankfully, liam asked if everyone is game for one more round. the competition and reward stands. this time, i managed to hit a 137 despite a frame that went down in gutters. i almost took a shock when parsath, trailing by 20, hit a spare in the last frame and his score went up to 127. last ball for him and he had to hit a strike to level my score and he actually managed it under the pressure. then i went, "oh, then both of us come in 1 hour late" and liam agreed gamely. but for parsath, doing sales, he would be at a disadvantage if he reported late so he is given 2 hours lunch time. beverly, the birthday girl also won the last round and will be reporting in late. for someone who is bowling for the first time, she did fantastically well. kartik lost out to liam for the 2nd game by a mere 2 pins. wasted. he could've gotten the off.
following that, we went for dinner at siam kitchen. the food was ok but everyone had fun chatting, making jokes, including evil ones but it was fun. at the end of the dinner, a laser message at the fountain of wealth - world's largest fountain - greeted beverly and parvin a happy birthday and we sang songs and such. some of the messages before ours were pretty erm... weird... i still can't figure out why would anyone be called "tudbird"
