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.

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
