Xtreme Entertainment at Botany

As planned earlier in the week, I organised an evening bowling at the Xtreme Entertainment Centre in Botany Downs. I originally booked a lane for 7 people, however the final party size was 6 people. Scott and Amber were not able to make it that night. We bought dad along to make up the numbers. We prepaid for two games which was a total of $NZ16 each.

The final complement was Anisha, Dad, Nick, Charlene, John Innes, and myself. I performed well in the first game, having the highest score and winning the first. My second game was a complete disaster and I will not be detailing the results here!

Useless Information: A regulation bowling alley is made of polished wood and measures 41 to 42 in. (104.1 to 106.7 cm) wide and 60 ft (18.3 m) from the foul line, where the ball is delivered, to the center of the head pin (nearly 63 ft/19.2 m to the end of the alley).

Chicken and Rice

Today, Deepak shouted everyone the leftovers from the dinner party after his sons Holy Communion. I treated myself to some lovely Chicken and rice. There was also a selection of fruit, and other hotter elements which I decided to pass on.

The other thing which happened was a disastrous Telecom Internet outage. We lost connectivity to all international sites with only domestic traffic being available. This caused disruption at work when attempting to connect to international hosts. Fortunately, I was only working on domestic customers at the time.

I booked a lane for bowling at Xtreme entertainment for Thursday night.

Useless Information: More than 95 percent of inter-city trunk routes are fibre optic, and all customer lines are connected to digital exchanges. Broadband coverage now extends to 93 percent of New Zealand households.
