What A Day

Today, I am on leave for the JOM Golf torney at Palm Spring in Batam. There were 8 torney annually, 4 each by JOM and PGS but has not been participating due to work commitment. But today was special. PSLE is over and I managed to convince the boss to approve my leave for this last torney of the year.

At 0545hrs Eric picked me up and off we headed for Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal after picking up Azman. It was raining cats and dogs and I thought I’ve made the right move not to drive. We had our breakfast with the rest of the kakis at the ferry terminal…40 of them to be exact.

At 0730hrs, we began to check in our golf kits et al.  After that, happily I took out my passport walking towards the immigration counter. To my horror, I was holding wifey’s passport. Instinctively I walked to the car park knowing that my passport is in the car only to realize that I wasn’t driving. I called home and wifey agreed to help bring it over but it was already 0735hrs and the ferry is leaving at 0800hrs. What a day. I guessed it is fated that I shall not be participating in any tourney this year.

Sadly I lugged back my kits and took a taxi home. Not to dampen the spirit, once I reached home I drove to Mandai for a short 9 holes at Executive Course. At least the objective of taking leave is fulfilled.

All by myself at Mandai. Ttaking a short break when it rains

Anyway, the day ended in high spirit. In the afternoon, my long awaited package arrived. It is the Soprano Sax I ordered from Chicago. Now I have a new toy to play with. Kenny G, watch out. Hehehehe
