Golf tournament

Less than a month ago, I was instructed to organize a golf tournament cum a farewell event for somebody that is quite important to our organization.

I have zero knowledge in golf, but what the heck, life is a learning process. Besides, not like I'm given a chance to refuce the task anyway.

Golf jargon that I learn along the way..
  • Flight
  • Buggy
  • Caddy
  • H'cap
  • Controller
  • Tee-off
  • Par
  • Hole
  • and many more..

The Sunday's event turns out great (well, unless according to my standard).

Here's the attendees..

 It was on yesterday's news..


I'm very thankful to my team, I know that I'm not a born leader. But we did it together our way and/or anyway.

JE 3rd dose for Eugene

JE datang lagi, ada satu fatality kes di Kuching melibatkan seorang budak berumur 19 tahun di Haji Baki.

Baru teringat yang Eugene belum habiskan dose dia, Emmett dah selesai dah.

Lepas breakfast on saturday, saya call B. teo clinic, diorang cakap ada stock boleh datang terus.

Lepas bersiap kami pun ke klinik. Sebelum tu kena pujuk Eugene dulu, sebab dah besar, dah tau melawan.

Nasib baik masa kena cucuk tu dia tak melawan, tapi air mata tetap keluar.

Ha.. Ni la umpan dia.. 

Dah selesai da..

Cold War (2012)

Dah berkurun tak tengok cerita cina kat cinema.
Kali ni kita layan Cold War, ala-ala Internal Affairs camtu la cerita dia.

Boleh tahan juak Aaron Kwok dalam tu, hubby cakap dah nampak macam George Clooney, maybe sebab gray hair dia kot.  Teringat dia menari dalam Para-para Sakura (2001) dulu..

Ok, kali ni kite tak nak cerita pasal Aaron Kwok.

Kita nak cerita pasal Aarif Rahman aka Aarif Lee.  Rahman was born in Hong Kong, his father is of Malay-Arab-Cantonese ancestry, while his mom is a Hongkonger.

Aarif Rahman
Sekali imbas ingatkan dia ni Nicholas Tse - born in Hong Kong, raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Nicholas Tse
 
2 kali imbas macam Wong Lee Hom - dia ni ABC - American Born Chinese
Wong Lee Hom

Kesimpulan nyer memang boleh tahan hensem jugak dia ni.

Bukit Beruang, Melaka

Bukit Beruang; suatu ketika dahulu pernah menjadi tempat persinggahan dalam perjalanan hidup ku.
Banyak juga kenangan pahit manis di sini.

At the beginning, kehadiranku di situ bukan lah atas pilihan ku sendiri - takdir menentu segala.

Walaupun bukan atas kemahuan ku, tapi daku pernah bahagia di sini, tempat nie memang best, terutama sekali bab makan..yummy.

Mari kita mengimbas kembali...

Wantan Mee
 Chicken Rice

Dan..rumah yang menjadi perlindungan buat daku dan kawan-kawan seperjuangan..

Apa lagi yang best?!
Pasal malam (pasar petang), memang macam-macam ada, buah mangga apple yang murah dan sedap. Durian - dulu ada yang RM1 je 1 biji, cukup-cukup untuk sorang makan.

Kesimpulan nyer, di mana ada makanan sedap, di situ saya akan rasa bahagia..cheers.

Tony Roma's, Midvalley

Selalu gak nak try makan kat sini, tapi kalau datang masa peak hours, memang takde tempat.

So kali ni kami datang awal, dalam pukul 11.15am, 1st customer gitu. Order kami siap dalam 15-20 min kemudian, lambat sikit sebab oven belum cukup panas (kata si waiter la).
Penantian yang berbaloi.
Ribs tu sedap, anak-anak pun suka. Tapi broccoli tu macam kurang rasa sikit.

Wat Tan Hor and Pork Rib King

What is the different between Wat Tan Hor and Cantonese kuey teow? Honestly I dunno, or maybe they are referring to the same thing.

Whenever I'm in Malacca I will order Wat tan hor, and never Cantonese kuey teow.  While in Kuching, I'll have Cantonese kuey teow only. I think Wat tan hor is generally sticker than the Cantonese style. Nonetheless, both also taste great.

So this is what we had on our 2nd night in Malacca.
Wat Tan Hor

We also ordered this Pork Rib King, taste great and tender.
Pork Ribs King
This restaurant is located right next to Hallmark Hotel, not far from the Jonker Street.
