Completed Golf 101 on to 102.

Last Sunday, we completed all 10 lessons of our beginner Golf package.  Another task completed for 2014. Happy.

Only realised we seem to be ahead of most people (i guess our eye-hand-legs coordination is ok) so the coach has nothing else to teach us after the third or fourth lesson. Boo.

Ordered my customised set of irons.  Happy.

Clubs are going to take 3-4 weeks to arrive, can only play with second hand matsushiba.  Boo.

Bought a damn cute set of golfing apparel. Happy.

Facialist says I have more freckles on my left cheek. Damn the bloody sun!!!  Boo.

Picked up some second hand callaway clubs for hao-e last night, so that can supplement the matsushiba set for a while.  Happy.

Generally happy.

Now that we are on our own, we will be embarking on the following training plan to be handicapped within a year, such plan named and hereinafter referred to as "The Lim Family Golf Handicap Attainment Plan":-
  1. Twice weekly driving range practice, 75 balls each
  2. Weekly putting and green practice 
  3. Monthly golf course 9-hole practice
The aim of the driving range practice is as follows:-
Oct : Hao-e - 50% good hits (based on a 7-iron) at 100m, Me - 30% good hits at 60m
Nov : Hao-e 60% good hits at 120m, Me - 40% good hits at 70m
So on and so forth.

I hope this time next year, we'll both be ok players. Fingers crossed.

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

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.
