Its a Classic alright!

It's a cloudy Friday morning at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club.
Most of the late starters are expecting rain to come.
The crowds weren't as big as yesterday I felt, but it sure made it easy to pick out some buddies.
Most are volunteers this week and what would we do without them.
You guys and gals are saints to sports events.
While the action is ongoing, may I be so bold to wax lyrical with some anecdotes? :
1. Bill Hurley III must be a morning person - the boy posted six birdies, starting on the back nine, first out with Charlie Wi and Antonio Lascuna from the Philippines.
2. Overnight leader Rikard Kalberg makes having facial hair look cool.
3. Maybe its time to stop asking Guan Tianlang if he is turning pro. His reply to a question: "Not in this couple of years I think. For sure not this year, not next year." A very intelligent boy indeed.
4. Ryder Cup team mates, Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia were playing in the same group as Patrick "Shh" Reed. The American carded a 69, while Garcia had a 69 and Westy had a 72. The second round scores should be interesting.
5. The Kenko Fish Spa is becoming a favourite place of the players. Jonas Blixt followed in the footsteps of Bubba Watson by letting small fish "nibble" at his feet, and its on YouTube.
6. When East meets West - the buffet breakfast served local stir fried rice noodles with scrambled eggs, chicken sausages, baked beans and hash browns. Yes, they have corn flakes and milk.
7. We like Nicholas Fung's new hair colour. What do you think?
8. One of the air-conditioners were leaking this morning at the media centre, next to veteran golf journalist, Roger Rodrigo's station. No rain delay yet.
9. The CIMB hospitality suites, the Pangkor and Langkawi, are really swank. I heard if one is lucky, they can meet squash queen Dato' Nicol David in there.
10. The Heineken Green Experience public catering area is the most popular. They say the promo girls are very friendly.

What Matters Most Is Inside You

Somehow, humans are a bunch of sensitive, overreacting bunch!!! Observing the way things have been going, it is obvious that the world, and in particular, the human species will never change. Our lives are filled with the trails and tribulations of evolution and co-existence. Wars... they are inevitable and have always been existent even before billions of us were born. With the good, comes evil. IS ANYONE GOING TO STOP THE GENOCIDE HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST? Never mind that... Just look into the mirror and ask yourself whether you have felt anguish and hatred towards another human being? Have you gotten so angry before that you felt like strangling an irritating, back-stabbing colleague? Yes..., you have right? It is okay that you have had such feelings as we all have faced our fair share of bad and evil people in our lives. Do we just sit in silence or do we do something about it? When I was younger, I would have chosen the latter cause of action. Nowadays, I am trying my best to ...

GRATEFUL FOR 2024

From me to yours... Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!   Another Eventful Year on Earth Checked. Have we been naughty or nice?! Wow... what an experience the Universe presented me in 2024. The year started quietly with much uncertainty as a consultant. Truly, my year kick-started in February when I was appointed the Media Officer of the IRS Prima Malaysian Open 2024 at The Mines Resort & Golf Club. I was so happy to work with the international team of professionals from Fairway Inspire Sdn Bhd and the Asian Tour. It was a time to reunite with guardian angels from the past and to connect with new friends. You guys will always remain close to my heart and etched in my positive memory vault. This year, I travelled to many golf courses telling the Smartscore scoring and management solutions story (Still peddling the stories!). Fortunately or unfortunately, realised that the golf club management scene has not changed much from the 2000s'. The majority of clubs nationwide are stil...

SEEK BALANCE THROUGH AWARENESS

What we know, or don't, was meant to be. Through observation and understanding, your mental and physical state will stay healthy and happy. I always find it fascinating hearing conversations. Whether it is a group of retirees at a kopitiam  or the youngsters at cafes. Not that I am a serial eavesdropper, but these are loud groups that share information on topics regarding politics, love and life in general. Typical Malaysian mah..., "you don't know meh?", is the usual 'I knew the story before you' trait! Of course, many receive their information from the web and social media platforms that are mostly fake news (Many will argue that they are true!). Some debates seem like arguments at times, while there have been occasions when friendships end due to differences of opinion.    Aren't we humans a special bunch?! Most often than not, and subconsciously, we speak without realizing the truth or knowing the facts of a case or subject matter. It is perfectly norm...
