i was just re-reading my blog..esp the bits from the last 3 months or so. and i realised that most of my entries sounded so incredibly..pretentious,if i may use that word. yes. its true what nan said, i suddenly feel like i dont know myself anymore either. i've become some ditz..all scatterbrained and eccentric. its time to do some quality control.
ok so the thing is, i've been neglecting golf alot. i used to be able to go to the 9 hole, par3 SAFRA course in changi everyweek for a round but with stuff happening, i'd to stop that for 2 weeks,which i thought would just kill my game. but last week when i went to the OCC for a refresher at the range, i was just damn bloody grateful that i hadn't "lost my swing" or anything tragic like that. distance is STILL a problem but at least i only hit the rare hook or slice. most of my shots are dead centre which is pretty aiight. my 7 and 9 irons are my best friends at the moment, but i've been working on breaking my 6 and 8 irons in. it is most fortunate that my short game has never been much of a problem. pitching, chipping, bunkers and all have been a breeze so far. (don't mean to sound cocky but its true) but my putting AGH my putting. now THAT i thought would never fail me,after having practiced for years and years on the foldable putting green at home but i have to work on my touch. its a transition thing. after having wahcked the bloody ball, you're expected to really loosen up and tap the sucker in,which is harder than you think it is. for me at least. and as for my woods..i have my off days. and its usually second time lucky. but i really really have to work on getting distance now that i've the technique in place..and i guess i'll be getting help from the coaches at the OCC junior programme soon enough. i'm too big a 17year old buffalo to be a junior lah, but apparently teens come under that category too..so yeah. the thing about playing with my two bros, is the realisation that as individuals we're shoddy in certain ares, but if you rolled the three of us into one golfer, DAMN that'd be FAR OUT. ashwin has sheer power. the bloody idiot can hit 140yards with a 5-iron. vivek has an incredible natural swing and is ALWAYS ALWAYS spot on with his woods. and i have the benefit of a good and relatively accurate short game. ok enough about golf for now. gonna watch the showdown between mardan and dougherty at the osim s'pore masters in a bit..then going down to the range at seletar to practice summore. (seletar is unforgiving and imitates real life conditons..not like the astroturf at the occ which makes everything rosy :P)
moving along, i also haven't talked about chelsea in awhile. oh well whaddya know..their treble hopes have been dashed. damn you barca. but there's ALWAYS the double..which they have a REALLY REALLY high chance of winning. c'mon lah.its practically given. and yesterday's last minute (and when i say last minute, i mean it) goal by gallas was killa! i have a thing for goals which go right smack into the corner of the net..they're just so precise and in-ya-face that they warrant propa celebration.
another thing i've neglected doing for quite a while already is listening to bobby friction and nihal on the asian network every week for my fill of desi music from the UK. yeah. i guess it was the withdrawal symptoms that pulled me back to them haha. british accents tinged with indian-ness are just too hard to resist lah ;) "bobby friction and nihal, sounds of the urban asian nation" omg nihal cut off his gorgeous locks!! NOOOOOOOOO!! he dont look gangsta no more. i'll post a pic of him pre-mangling-of-gorgoues-locks later on. and i seriously need to get back in touch with brit music(desi or not) once again..i've been plain disconnected for way too long. bloody wandering lost sheep. dammit.
and i got one of the best gifts anyone could ever get for their bday...a frickin hmv voucher. *eartoear,extremelytoothy,ouchmyfacemuscleshurt,grin* i offer my obeisances to you O great one! i bask in your lordly presence (yeah right) danke schon schon schon. i dunno how to get the umlaut on top of the o though. and GERMAN too! yet another thing i've disregarded for a long long time. well, siebzehn Jahre alt werde ich bald(kai,did i get my grammar right?).. so i expect all the "herzlichen gluckwunsch zum geburtstag"s soon eh? ;)
