US Trip (8 - 14Oct 2011)

It's been few months since I last dropped a post.
Not sure if I'm that busy (with new job role) or simply too lazy to write something.

Well... maybe I'm just trying to relax and staying away from my laptop whenever I got free time.
I do have stories to tell. ;)

I just came back from a US business trip. Some internal conference. Looks like work but sometime feels like holidays. :p
There were watching airshow on the cruise in Bay area, iFly, dinners... etc.
Basically team-building and celebration of successes from last year I guess. And alignment for coming year objective.

I realized that nowadays I'm lazy to bring my camera as well... :p

Lastly, I finally got my Krisflyer Gold status for the first time after all these travelling (2x US and 1x Beligium past 12months).

Gearing up...

Been going golf lessons for a while. Just completed my 6th lesson out of the 1o. Well... can now hit a ball with Iron7 with some decent posture (I hope... :p). Just need to be more consistent. Think next few lesson will be taught how to use a driver.

I have also just returned my friend's golf set. Time to get my own ones! haha...
Well, my instructor had "highly recommended" an Iron7 club to me during the 5th lesson. Want to earn my money...? -_-'''
End of the day, I bought the club from him. $125... Never hear about brand too. Kana katoh...?? Anyway... :(

Then I also bought an Iron6 club at a shop at sales price. $10 only! Haha... Callaway some more! Best deal!? haha...
The last few time when I went to driving range, I just brought a few clubs on hand. Looks unprofessional, and I wanted to get a Sunday Bag. So finally got one today! Red TaylorMade Sunday Bag! ;)My wife like the red one... Not cheap though at $77 for a simple bag (Made in China). Now seem to be slightly better equipped... Hmmm... when will I get my own full golf set? ;)

US Trip (30May - 4June 2011)

I was in US for meeting around a month back. The land of potatoes...
Hmmm... meeting...? 50% was team building though... ;p

Go Kart team buildingCycling... Nice scenery...

Also went to Bangkok for a short business trip on 23-24June.

US, Belgium, Malaysia, Thailand... more countries to come...? -_-'''

Bowling - Dying Sport?

Been busy for the last 2-3 months coping with new job role... It's like reliving my earlier time on my previous job role. Long working hours, stress level increase, late nights... plus now more beers and travelling... ha.
Not much time to practice my golf...

Today I found some time to play golf at driving range. After an hour plus of sweating, I went to the nearby bowling alley. Currently still here while I'm writing this... there are a total of 35 lanes, but only 2 lanes are occupied when I reached. I was thinking "nowadays who still play bowling...? People will be playing LAN games, shopping, golfing...etc". Feeling bad for the sport. "It's a dying sport..."

Hmmm... as I sit there for a rest, more and more people actually started to show up... with personal bowling shoes and balls. I might just be really wrong on my shallow judgements. The lanes are about 90% full now... wow.

There is a mixture of youngsters, adults and senior citizens. Those older seem to the ones having the personal equipment. I guess bowling was at the peak during that era...

Belgium Trip (30April - 11May 2011)

I was on business trip to Belgium while my wife joined me for holidays.
Good deal for her... While I worked, she enjoyed...
I extended a few days for leave though.

Places we visited... Brussels, Brugge and Amsterdam...

Brugge, Belgium

Nice tourist spot at Brugge. Scenic with the old buildings...

We had river cruise! Nice!

Night Scene at Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium

Various type of beers

Red Light District, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Live porno show?!? :)~~~

Never catch it though... ear pulled by wife... haha...

Windmill, Zaandam, Netherlands

If we did not went to see the windmills in Netherlands, it's like going gold mine and never pick up the golds... :p

It was a fun trip! My wife enjoyed it most... obviously...
