zenn bites...

am feeling terribly weighted down and the bah mood continues...but i shall not vent, for now. *oh snap out of it already!* instead, let's have a look at what i got up to yesterday:

i went overseas!

well, sort of. dad, mum and i headed across the causeway, for a day's getaway at our club in jb.

being good citizens, we topped up on gas before heading off.

and i brought my box of cheezels holes along to munch on. they're so cute, and a huge hit with the folks.

it was a long car ride...with jams and peanut butters on the causeway and in malaysia.

but we finally reached the club:

security has been upped and every vehicle gets an entry&exit pass to prevent theft. i love the long driveway to the clubhouse - serene and lined with gorgeous trees.

daddy borrowed a beat-up buggy to get us to the driving range which was a fair walk from the carpark.

i practiced and practiced and practiced (and tried to look like a pro). golf is a very individual sport that requires loads of concentration and is much tougher than it looks. mind-power is vital and my swings go haywire whenever my brain decides to take a hike.

i even tried putting, and thoroughly enjoyed it coz it's such fun. the contours of the green makes it challenging, and there's actually a hole for me to hit the ball in!

i ended the day with a hugeass blister on my left thumb though. golfing a couple of weeks back had given me with a blister on my right thumb coz i wasn't gripping right. this time round, dad said that it might be coz his set of clubs are too heavy for me causing me to grip on too tight (so that the club wouldn't fly off!) and i need to get ladies' ones. i need to get new gloves too (and on both sides, not just for the left hand!) coz the one i wore did little to cushion my delicate fingers and my palms are still smarting right now (so clever!).

the next michelle wie i most definitely am not.

tortured my blister with a swim after that, and the mangled mess of skin straightened out enough for me to cover the raw parts up a bit. yuck. zambuk to the rescue!

we survived the horrid traffic and got to jusco for a bit of shopping. i bought cute christmas hats for my kids before we headed to perling for a late dinner. yummy stingray, yong tau foo soup, tofu, char kuay tiao, giant sugarcane drink...*smack lips*

took us more than 2 hours to get back into singapore coz there was a massive jam on the 2nd link (with silly cars zipping in and out of lanes just so they can be one vehicle ahead). i was so exhausted (it's a scorcher of a day at the range!) that i fell asleep in the backseat =S

it's kinda nice being the only child (since sis' not in town). heh.
