Golf

not sure whether i'd mention here that we had gotten ourselves a set of ultra cheapo golf clubs some weeks back (i believe was the first week after our return to bermuda). it was advertised on e-moo at $100 one day, hao-e called the guy and arranged to have a look at the clubs that evening. so we rushed there after work, driving through maniac rush-hour traffic (eh... cannot compare with CTE rush-hour lah, but imagine the left-most lane of CTE at aroun 8.30am - it's close). hao-e eventually bargained it down to $75 for the set - it's apparently 4 years old, a full set, unbranded. hey, we took that guy's word for it, because i didn't know how to tell if the age of the clubs or what constituted a full set of clubs lor! LOL. thank God we met an honest guy (non-asian heritage of course) who really wanted to get rid of his clubs.

so anyhoo, we had this set of golf clubs (in a red bag no less!) sitting in the closet for the past few weeks... finally used it on saturday at the driving range at southampton. we took the driver, and #3, #5, #9 irons to the range for a try. i totally sucked at the irons, but did fairly well with the driver - 110yards ok! hao-e was pretty good of course, whacked the balls like there was no tomorrow, except they all flew in the 2.30 direction. =_= clumsy me hit my own shoulder with the driver - it's bruised. and both of us had pretty sore left arms that night. we had this bunch of si-gin-na's beside us, which added to the pressure (they averaged 50-75 yards, not much less than ours... sigh). long way more to go to reach 200 yards.

1.5 hours, 80 balls, USD10. ENJOYMENT, PRICELESS.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
