history~~

i missed the presentation night for winning the club championships last month.... i was down in melbourne with sam that day, so i missed the night.....

but i played golf yesterday at strathfield, and decided to take a photo of my name on the board.... coz really... thats pretty much why u play club championships... haha....

in 2005, G Duncan beat me in the semi's and won it..... he is around 4 times my age..... really nice guy though... haha

hehe... my name will stay on that board forever now~~ goes down in history~ haha

in melbourne~

i just realised that my last post was on the melbourne cup.... i was in sydney for that.... but now, im in melbourne for this post...

i've come down here for 8 days to caddy for sam (my cousin) while he plays golf down here...

on the way down here, we took turns driving... but there was a bit of a mishap... i wasnt watching the fuel gauge... and the fuel from the sub-tank didnt kick in... so the car stopped in the middle of the highway..... we were there for about an hour and a half... but eventually we over-pumped up the rear spare tyre, and attached the air hose from that into the fuel tank to push the fuel through the car again.... and we were back on the road....

this is the first time for me in melbourne... i've heard alot about the weather here, and it was exactly as i heard it... out of nowhere, it just started down pouring on the first night.... and the next day, it was bloody hot~!!! but at night, its bloody cold~!!! i have the flu and serious sunburns.... all in 5 days of melbourne.... 4 seasons in 1 day~!!!

since we didnt come here on a holiday, i havent had the chance to really look around melbourne... but the one day we did go into the city for a look, i walked down to the MCG/Rod Laver Arena... and everyone who has been here must have passed Flinders St.....

the Yarra was really pretty too.... and personally, i like this photo that i took of it~ haha

then we had a look at the Crown Casino too... ^^

anyways, the business end of the golf starts tomorrow.... wednesday, thursday, friday.... and i will be back in sydney on saturday~~

from melb... straight to cherrybrook for baseball.... damn~~ cherrybrook is so far~~ especially coming from melb~~ ^^

melbourne cup....

today was the first tuesday of november.... which makes it Melbourne Cup Day~!!!

the day that people who know nothing about horse racing makes bets.....

each year, i make bets for my sister and my mum as well.... and for some reason, my sister's horse usually wins....

this year, i thought i would be smart.... so i bought my sister a ticket.... and CHANGED it with mine~!!! and guess what~ my sister won the money with my original ticket.....

she won $265... see the horse winning in that picture..... yeah..... and that horse coming 2nd.... well, that was my mum's pick... she won $35....

my horse came 4th last..... and i lost 20 dollars.....

damn~~~~ on the whole, it was a good day... i make 70 bucks out of the day....

this gambling thing could keep me happily unemployed for a while yet~~!!! ^^

champion~

ah~! i did it.... i won the C-grade Championships....

it was a 36-hole final, and i lost the first 5 holes~!!! i was losing the whole day after that start, and i was 6 down with only 10 holes to play...

i managed to get even with the other guy, and on the final green, i sunk a 15m downhill putt to win~~

yeah~!!! now i get my name on the C-grade Champions board in the clubhouse~~ haha

it was a really exciting game of golf.... dont often see those~ ^^
