Goodbye Austin...I'll miss you!

Last 2 days in Austin, Texas. Had a perfect bowling rally with my dearest WL - we were the last exchange students left (WK left Dec 8th, Justin on 12th, even KuokYuen too) - with average score of 101 out of 7 games, beat WL 3 out of 6 games and we ended on a draw of 110 points each. Well, at least i know now, if i've gained anything this semester it is to increase my average bowling score from 50 to 100! *Proud of myself* :)
