My golf game today

How did my golf game go today?

Personally, I thought I did pretty badly. Why? My pre-occupied mind….Troubled, when it shouldn’t be…Many thoughts flowing or stuck in a rut…One lesson from a novice golfer like myself, leave your troubles off the green, your game will be for the better. Golf really really cannot do without focus, concentration, patience and bit of self confidence..

Today, balls are flying all over the range…Left, Right Center…Mishit, etc..Really cannot go to the range with a mind like mine today..But luckily the last ten balls, I managed to convince myself to throw whatever disturbing thoughts off my mind and truly focus on hitting the ball…yes, I managed a clean hit in all ten balls, with 120m using a no.7 iron….Prove: Concentrate and Focus is truly important in a golf game…..

Okay, I guess probably I have hit a plateau…I probably need a break before I head back to the green again.

Summarising:

1. Grip must be soft..In the past, I simply held on too tight. Cardinal Sin!
2. Relax…Rome wasn’t built in a day, so I must be patient to get my swing in order 1st before I go for distance. Today, I managed 120m on no.7 Iron but it is not consistent. Consistency is more important than distance.

Well, nothing in this world is impossible, it all depends on how much u desire that result, that object, etc. Someone once said, anything and everything can be done, it all depends if you can pay the price, whether that object of desire is worth it or not…That said, it doesn’t mean that I work my balls off on my golf game, I will become Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods..Working hard probably won’t bring me there…but perhaps working smart will..but is it worth the price? I don’t think I am that passionate yet…though I must admit it is growing on me all the time. I long to hit that perfect swing that will send the ball flying…..> Keep the faith! Not forget practising!

This applies to my life too. There are certain objects of desire in my life, that I truly desire, like that long awaited to Tibet trip, dive trip to Palau…definitely achieveable with hard work and savings…and yes, work hard I will and smart my working style will be…..yet there are things/objectives that cannot be met with sheer hardwork… will bitch about that in due time..when I am back from my trip again…perhaps there is no need to bitch as it is quite pointless to bitch also…

Glittering Golden Peanut

Haha…Photography inspired by the NKF Fiasco. I almost forgot I got this ‘lucky’ peanut…My mum bought it for me some months ago when I was going some sort of bad patch, like always..life goes on…Anyhow, my peanut is only about 70 SGD only according to my mum…Haha, really wonder how a 600K peanut will look like?

it’s the job of gahment, and the CPIB, to dig and see, to dig and see…..

Stand up for NKF

There was a time when people say NKF would not make it,
But we did
There was a time when toilet seemed too small for me.
Now I replaced it.
Recognise you can play a part in my pay,
Let it come right from your sweat and blood;
Be prepared to give a lot more.
Stand up, stand up for NKF

Difference between 2 Peanuts and Durai’s Goodbye

The difference between 2 types of peanuts. Which one would you choose?

Durai’s resignation is expected. This is by far the most interesting ‘backfire’ incident to date as far as my memory can stretch.

I think my pathetic pay is perhaps not even peanuts..I think more like ‘PEE SAI’.

Anyhow, this week, the meaning of ‘Pay peanuts, you get monkeys’ just got redefined. I think in a literal sense the National Kidney Fiasco CEO was doing lots of monkey business…Now’s that’s more like it.

As we all know, TT Durai has resigned…But I do hope there will be a public enquiry as to how to how the funds were mismanaged. Public confidence needs restoration…ermh…resurrection???

Minority Man: NKF CEO Earns Too Much?

I guess there are many more out there…Really a public outrage now….A clever plan back firing…Reminds me of law 19 from one of my favourite book, 48 Laws of power…I guess it is quite apt to say Mr TT Durai trangressed that law.. Here’s the law for your reading then.

Law 19
Know Who You’re Dealing with – Do Not Offend the Wrong Person

There are many different kinds of people in the world, and you can never assume that everyone will react to your strategies in the same way. Deceive or outmaneuver some people and they will spend the rest of their lives seeking revenge. They are wolves in lambs’ clothing. Choose your victims and opponents carefully, then – never offend or deceive the wrong person.

Tiger- The Jack Russell Terrier

Tiger, my pet..For those of you who don’t know..Let me give you some education about this breed. This breed of dogs are so full of energy, loves to play every moment of the day. Favourite game now? Tug of war..He will bring something to you so that u can have a tug of war with him. Seldom barks…does his business properly..Keep my mum company…Hey, her blood prressure actually went down since his arrival 3 months back….

Vandals had Struck and my brief encounter with kidney failure

Backlash begins…This episode does reminds me that one should never wash dirty linen in public…avoid it all costs…This episode really make the everyday heartlander like myself quite pissed off, should I say tulan..Yes, if you deserve a good pay if you are generating an income …but however, read this….you should never, I say again, never abuse public funding to give yourself a nice salary, a 12 months bonus(Unheard off in Singapore these days)..It is sad but true. I am sure from now on, my money will go to more deserving organization, and even volunteering to do charity work myself, like my mum who helps out in the old folks home on a 2 to 3 times per week basis. Our family is not rich, whilst we do not contribute money but my mum’s effort goes a long way in warming hearts of the folks staying in that AMK old folks home. This is charity and more meaningful than a 1900 call to NKF (IMHO).

NKF will now face repercussion on the lawsuit. Less donations would be drawn in. This really affect public confidence in them. Kidney failure is not joke, I know cos I almost did…that is if I did not get my nephrotic syndrome treated way back in March 2005. It could have caused my kidneys to fail…Honestly, it was a really scary experience, during that time I did for the 1st time of my damm life, empathises with the suffering of the kidney patients that NKF put on TV..

Yes, many nights I cried..but thanks to the support of family and friends…I have managed to emerged unscath, less a few thousands dollars on medical bills and such…Yes, kidney failure is real and the amount of trauma you will have to go thru….simply not a joking matter…

What A Difference a Day Made

What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I’m part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

What a difference a day makes
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

Nice poem, I say it is…Well, perhaps use it on my next project I will…

My Aquascape one 12th July 2005

Picture of my tank as shot on the 12th July 2005. Much of the scape have changed since May 2005. Tank went thru a severe BGA attack, concidentally, means Blue Green Algae…but in reality it is a bacterial attack…back then, the tank really stinks…Thankfully, after blackout treatment with antibotics dosed into the tank, the tank recovered…most importantly, the mosses made a comeback…Stay tuned to this channel for more tank pics….

Worth a thought….definitely…
