Malaysia Day and my new game…

There should be fireworks tonight. My capo failed to ship early but that’s okay. Decided to use a rugby ball for lassoball, instead of a round soccer ball or netball. Watched videos on making bolas.

Want to visit Decathlon for good quality rope for my bolas, $7 for 5 meters which should be enough. Feeling a little nervous over my UpLink submission as it’s a fairly obvious idea.

I did it -walked out this afternoon and bought the gear I need to make my catcher-bolas. Cost me $9. Had to reload my disability rail pass, $4.50. So the haul is: 2 jump ropes, and a basketball hoop netting. I didn't need to buy a rugby ball as I have 2 old ones perfectly serviceable. Was thinking each lassoball player should have 2 bolas / boleadoras. At $9 each, it's pretty affordable.

Today's ABY / ACIFS reading says to be brave and to answer your true calling which is really not something very out of the ordinary, rather, closer to basic human nature. Lassoball -may it be a success!

I may be able to save 900RM this month, 400 in October, and 200 in November. 1.5kRM in total, ready for my birthday present! Whatever it might be. Will spend a few hours on Shopee tonight.

Woke up early, dazed from the sedatives I took last night. Stumbled through my morning routine. Looked over the lassoball materials on my desk and wondered where to go from here. I’m not a very good inventor. Maybe get some help? No rush, as I’m retired.
