The start of a long 1 week holiday for the kids...and myself. No expensive trip for the family this time. Been planning and saving?? to have a whole 1 week holiday to the east coast in May. Insyaallah.

For the past 3 weeks , it has been very hectic working weeks...planning wise. Feels good when as a management, we were able to give some token of appreciation to the whole team in the company this year...unlike last year...kena pileh kasih sket. Anyhow, I need to make sure this happens, coz I NEED the incentive myself. Have to work smart before April. That's when the company plan to announce the salary review. As a management, the advantage is, you don't really have to guess how much increment you wanna give yourself, you can put whatever you want as long as you can back it up with facts... , Gotta make sure I spend my time towards the high value, high profit prospects.

Golf wise... sucks. Been strugling to get the swing back. The short game is nowhere as good as before. Putting? Don't even ask. Dunno what's wrong. But yesterday I"m begining to see that my game was coming back. For the first time, this year, I shot a decent low 80 round. I was a bit in control of the golf swing...thanks to Vijay Singh. I observed his swing, especially his grip on TV, and try to emulate the guy. The result...Hey!!!!! It works.

Another year, another season for the alumni golf tour. No change of play format this year. Increase in the tournament fee. YUCKS. Still using the stableford system, with our own handicaping system. I'm playing to a hc 14 , when in reality, I'm a hc 10. Looks unfair, if I'm the only person doing this. In reality, nobody knows the real hc of the other person. It might be good and more interesting if we use strokeplay , nett and gross, with medal A, hc 0-12, B hc 13-18 and C hc 19 and above. After a few tournaments, we can gauge the most consistent players among ourself. With the gross score in line, we can eliminate the missing of 2-footer putts from the lower handicappers, usually done on purpose, to disguise their real hc from the organizer. Anyway, that's just rambling from someone's who's not really interested to be in the organizing commitee. Kudos to the commitee.

p.s. I won't be joining the game this time around, gotta play in my club monthly tournament. A helluva lot cheaper...........YEE HAA

What's new in 2006

Ah....another year, another resolution....none from me. So, what's new for year 2006;
1) Salary....no black-and-white increment; only verbal, since last June; got paid the extra salary in August; which I"ve used the mullah to purchase the new iPAQ 6515. Up to now, nobody knows what happen to the rest.

2) Have not done my claim; since January of last year; got to do that...lucky I've got every info within reach.... sync everything into the PC; just gotta get it out from there and transfer it to my claim form.

3) My handicap got worse; from 9 to a 10.

Here's to another year.
