Our journey

If your ship had sails, the wind would be your obvious ally. Life is similar, or at least what comes with the package. The toughest and unexpected challenges breaks down egos. But we face them, even if it makes no sense. Does life go on even if the ship is sinking? Of course. Love presents the hardest and most challenging emotional scenarios. If darkness befalls us, blessings will also present itself unexpectedly. That is pure joy. There's no right or wrong. Alone or not. Just make sure you love with passion and compassion.

Many miles ahead of the rest

The SUV segment is somewhat more appealing. The Mazda CX-5 is one that just oozes dynamic sensuality. Ever noticed the difference in atmosphere when you travel in different vehicles with friends? There may be more chatter about the car and perhaps, it becoming their dream car someday. Receiving the keys, or rather a dongle for the smart keyless system of the Mazda Cx-5, I did not know what to expect of this aerodynamically-styled SUV. The timing was perfect too, as it coincided with my trip to the Swiss-Garden Beach Resort for the inaugural Shafie Memorial Cup at the Damai Laut Golf & Country Club. It will be hard to forget a dear friend of the media and the Swiss-Garden Cup. The alarm on my mobile “crowed” at 5am, as I had to get ready to fetch Eddie Hoo and his wife, not to mention having to squeeze prizes into the SUV. My arrival at 6am triggered off the barking of dogs in Eddie’s neighbourhood, as they sniffed a stranger, and a new ‘deep crystal blu

Ryan Moore successfully defends CIMB Classic title.

Sunday’s hot and humid final round was a nail-biter with the leading flight providing the oohs and ahhs to the large gallery. After Moore dropped a shot on 16 th , his lead was down to one shot on -16 with Gary Woodland and Kevin Na lurking. With the humidity taking its toll, Na was the first to crumble on the 17 th hole, sending his tee shot into the trees on the right. His ball was declared lost, on top of an oil palm tree. Meanwhile, Moore nails his approach for a tap-in birdie, his eighth of the day. He now had a comfortable three-shot lead heading to the 18 th . With a final putt for par, Moore became the first man since Tiger Woods to win back-to-back PGA Tour titles. Final round anecdotes… Angelo Que wins hands down for wearing an all-CIMB red apparel. Only Danny Lee outplayed him in the fashion department with red checked pants. Lee Westwood wasn’t hard to spot. Westy had his favourite neon lemon-coloured Dunlop shirt on. The tree on the

All about hair and rain.

Day 3 at the CIMB Classic. I arrived at 9.30am and KLGCC was filling up already. As expected, the weather seems to be a creature of habit and play was suspended again. The crowd was distinctly larger than Fri and they weren’t disappointed. No animals were harmed and the Heineken Green Experience tent continued to be the best place to be when the rain came. Kevin Na and Ryan Moore fired a 5-under-par 67 to tie for the lead on 12-under 204. But here’s how I saw it today in no particular order… Noh Seung-Yul’s yellow pants remind me of Dijon mustard. But this boy’s swing is flawless. I’ve gone blind looking at Angelo Que’s neon green pants on TV. But that’s fashion guts. Angelo Que rarely practices at the driving range before tee off. The man’s a true talent. The quiche is addictive. Someone stop me. From the air, the bunkers on Hole 15 look like mittens. I wish I had Kevin Na’s hairstyle. Maybe I should just let it grow and start playin
