No, it is not about making anything into a coiled or spiral shape. It's about an Winter Olympics sports. I couldn't really find any good link on curling for now, so I'll just give u this: from Dictionary.com
Scroll down a bit and you'll see this:
Oh wait, I've got another link. At the Winter Olympics official page. My friend told me the Singapore Curlers(is that the correct term to use?) have an official website, but I can't find it in google, so I'll wait until Monday to check with her.
Edit: Found the Singapore curling link.

Anyway, me and some collegues went to try our hand at Curling on Wednesday at the ice skating rink in Jurong Entertainment Center. It was quite interesting I think, though we have to pay $12 per session. And it's only available on alternate Wednesday.
The Curling group in Singapore is quite small, about 20. SSC is not sending them to the Winter Olympics yet cos of this I think. I hope they do. It will be a good exposure for the curlers. And maybe by then, I am good enuff to go too. Dreamer I am. :)
Pictures:
Edit: Pictures were kindly taken by kind Elaine. :)
Some briefing before going onto the ice. Thats me in blue and not paying attention. Please ignore Sharon trying to act cute.
The part of the ring reserved for us to curl.
More briefing on the ice. Me not paying attention again. Haha!
The granite stones we have to slide along the ice. It weighs about 20kg I think.
Below the stones, are the hacks. It's what we use to propel ourselves forward on the ice.
On your mark...
Go!
