My Tainted Wall

Painted one of my home walls today! Since I was on MC, I might as well tried to do something with the house while I'm stuck at home.



This is the blank wall. No wait! There's stuff written there already! Not clear enough. But yes, I was so uncreative I decided to just write some words to get myself started.



Then the colours came raining down! As you can see, I was doing a terrible job at painting. Had earlier walked to CompassPoint to buy two boxes of acrylic colours just for this paint job!



The unfinished product thus far! Its too late to do the black outlines or draw anything else. Will have to continue another day! This is the beginning of the magical coloured room!!!!!

Looks damn bloody childish right? If you have the chance, come over and take a closer look, its a terrible mess!

Super happy.

MC

Am on MC today.

Doctor told me to go home to rest yesterday but I didn't listen. Down with a bad sorethroat and yellow phlegm. Didn't even bring my meds home.

Hopefully will get well by today. Cuz staying at home alone is boring...

And i just wasted my whole morning sleeping like a pig.

Least I get to update my Facebook and Twitter and do some trading :P

And here's a couple of pictures for entertainment:



I'm catching a rainbow in New Zealand!

This was in Lake Taupo shortly before we headed down to Turangi.



This was in Kai Iwi Beach where the winds were extremely strong!

Jumpshots were a MUST on everything that looked good during our trip. And the nicer the backdrop, the higher my jump!

Miss the weather there!

Twitter Is Great!

What a revelation.

Took some playing around to harness the power or Twitter. Its great not as a friend site, but more as a collector of all this relevant that I'm interested in!

Haha.

What a Twit I am.

Twitter Is Crap

Maybe because I've got no friends. Yet.

Nothing fun aside from status updates. Wtf.

Crap.

I'm A Twit

Hello, new Twitter-er!

Using Twitter is going to change the way you think about staying in touch with friends and family. Did you know you can send and receive Twitter updates via mobile texting or the web? To do that, you'll want to visit your settings page (and you'll want to invite some friends).

The New York Times calls Twitter "one of the fastest-growing phenomena on the Internet." TIME Magazine says, "Twitter is on its way to becoming the next killer app," and Newsweek noted that "Suddenly, it seems as though all the world's a-twitter." What will you think? http://twitter.com

Dear Futsal Organizers.

Tonight's game was seriously not fun. I would like to lodge an official complaint against the team we played.

If you're out to randomly injure your opponents using our soccer match as an excuse, I really don't feel like playing anymore.

If you're fielding young kids who look like they just entered varsity, under the guise of your established highflying name, I really don't feel like playing anymore.

If you're organizing a league that somehow makes our team play their team not two but THREE consecutive weeks in a row, I really don't feel like playing anymore.

This is rubbish. Doesn't matter that we won comprehensively. I've never seen such aggression from an opponent since the days of ICAP (and weren't they kicked out of the league for violent conduct?).

Week in week out we're just hoping to get a good exercise and get our corporate team hanging out together. You can see from our previous season's league positions what we mean.

But when a team like this just wants to use agressive play, ankle-breaking tackles and flailing elbows to make your life on the pitch a living hell, then there is no more joy in evening football anymore, is there?

Heck, we were just one or two more rough tackles away from an all-out melee out there.

I trust you will look into this promptly and organize things more sensibly.

Regards,

Texas At Horizon

2nd weekend in a row we played at Horizon Hills. This was what we were training up for all week. The mini tournament or Texas Scramble. Given that we were given a 26-stroke handicap meant that we hopefully wouldn't come in last even though we were plying with the pros.

Once again the course was seriously beautiful and scenic. I tried to take a picture of every hole until I slowly forgot about it haha. And we played pretty ok. Definitely better than our showing during the Ambassador's Cup. Ben bought himself a whole new set of clubs (to show how serious he was). Think I'll go invest in a few new ones myself.

We ended up with a raw score of 85. 5 better than our previous competitive Texas game. After handicap we actually came in 3rd! Which was pretty respectatble given the competition and the course.

Highlight was the 160m par 3 17th hole! This was the notorious island! With a 5-iron I managed to get it onto the green! For a moment I even thought that I had won the nearest to pin (didn't though).

Bummer was the causeway traffic, which took us almost 3 hours to clear customs, and the rain midway into the bottom 9. Boo those.

Midweek Thursday we played our futsal game against SJII (St Joseph Institution International) FC and lost 2-4. Felt like I played a really good game but the goalkeeper and the goalpost kept me from scoring more than my solitary goal for the team. Bummer man. Knee and ankles feeling ok though. Hopefully getting better.

Gotta take IPPT soon.

The Hell That Was Horizon Hills

Spent the whole day in JB yesterday at Horizon Hills Golf and Country Club with some of the company people. We're sussing the course out so that we're more familiar with it when we play again next week in that Texas Scramble tournament.

My oh my was the course tough or what. I think it's one of the toughest course I've played so far. We got very well acquainted with the sand bunkers. They look like wide open mouths trying to swallow up your ball all the time. They're really deep and really steep facing the holes. Eugene even put on a "Bunker Show" for us when he was stuck in one for 6 strokes. Haha. The fairways were also really narrow and there were alot alot alot of water bodies. Think I lost a total of 9 or 10 balls. Haiz. Need to stock up against before next weekend.

In the end, I scored a 119, Eugene got 116 and even Lasse who had an ok game could only manage a 94. So that shows how tough the course was.

Yet, as challenging as the course was, we actually had lotsa fun! Somehow it was very exciting and inspiring at the end of some of the holes, to know that you survived and didn't double-par it! Haha.

Its off to the range most of next week to practice, practice, practice!

Oh and you gotta click on the scorecard to enlarge it.
