Hubby’s going to play for Perak Amateur Open next week and it is a 3 days tournament. All the while, if the tournament takes more than 2 days, he will perform badly. He still doesn’t have the stamina and mental preparation for games like this.
He is going to practice golf in Penang this weekend. And I joked with him that there is a course in Kedah that has night golfing, so he may as well practice at golf course at night too. Just bring along a night vision scope to find the golf balls! LOL!
It’s only a joke, but he’s taking this seriously. Oh boy, I better boil some good soup for him to boost up his stamina.

When it comes to golf, hubby treats it as the most important thing in his life, a part from us lah. He has had a few sets, and I’ve really lost count of them. Most of his golf sets ended up in the store room anyway. 
But I know he’s still looking for golf drivers. He’s currently using Callaway, a second hand (but quite new) from his sifu, an ex-Malaysia golf pro. He bought it and thought that the iron shaft was not suitable for him, and so he sold it to hubby. Hubby likes it at first, but since he has changed his swing, he’s looking for something more solid. BTW, hubby swings are really powerful, he broke a few irons before.
All the while, hubby admires Tiger Woods. And I know he wants to have a set like his badly. It’s just that they are too expensive and he doesn’t spend much on golf sets ever since we have kids.
I wanted to buy him a set since I’m “working” now, but he doesn’t want me to “waste” my money. So, if only Tiger’s set can be cheaper a bit lah, then I don’t mind getting him a brand new set of irons, woods and a driver.

Lots of bloggers and my friends and family have been asking me this question lately, is my hubby going to work in Bangkok?
Ok, the answer is “I’m NOT SURE”. He delayed his plan until no further notice. He still tied down with his work here, and won’t be leaving so soon. So, we are really happy that he’s not going away, for the time being. Both my kids are really attached to him now as they know that as long as daddy’s around, there will be lots of “gai gai” for them.
If he really leaves and works elsewhere, I guess I will have to get a web cam, or some other way of communication, like Ventrilo to ensure that all of us can stay connected. It’s really expensive to spend on oversea phone bills!
However, I wish that his plan won’t come through too soon. I hate to have a family in 2 different countries.

I read about Sasha successfully trained Jayden to sleep. Justin used to sleep through the night, but he wakes up for night feeding lately. Got to blame it on hubby who makes the milk for him and gets him into this habit!
Previously, when he woke up at night, I will ask him to go back to sleep and only drink milk at sunrise. But nowadays, he will not obliged. This morning, he woke up at 6am and demanded for a feed. I told him to sleep back and wake up later as it’s too early. So, he started crying “papa, papa, milk milk, I want milk milk, I want milk milk”. Needless to say, Isabelle woke up too, so I nursed her to sleep. But with koh koh screaming in the room, I doubt anyone could go back to dreamland. If hubby’s around, he will immediately fix him the milk.
I told him angrily that he’s too old for night feeding, and daddy has been spoiling him. But well, I got up and made milk too. *Sigh!* I tried to wean him off bottle feeding but he refused. I guess he thinks that he needs the comfort of bottle feeding to get back to sleep, that’s why he develops night feedings again. This morning was good, as it happened at 6am. Sometimes, it’s in the middle of the night, just like a little baby!
Oh, he definitely eats well because he gains weight lately and look chubby again. So, blame it on hubby lah, develop the night feeding again on Justin.

Hubby lot a tooth at the back of his lower jaw years ago. He doesn’t care much about it, but I suggested that he go for Dental Implants. Even if the void can’t be seem, but a dental implant is not merely for cosmetic purposes, at least it will help him to chew better. Well, unless he’s taking a very good care of his teeth, the crown will also avoid food from being accumulated in that hole and risk the neighbouring teeth from tooth decay.
Well, I have done my nagging, it’s all up to him to decide when will he get a replacement for that missing tooth.

Yesterday, hubby took Justin out to see lion and dragon dance at Ipoh Padang. I didn’t go with them as Isabelle needed her evening nap. Let both of them have some “man and boy” moment too, and our friend KK went along with them.
(Thanks KK for all the photos!)
Justin is very afraid of cutting his hair. I had been persuading him for days, but he still said no until we reached the salon this morning!!! But hubby was there to comfort him. He let Justin sit on his lap while the hairdresser cut his hair, and he didn’t cry at all!!!
See, new coconut head! Justin’s hair too soft, this is the only hair style for him…
Then later tonight, when hubby’s changing him into pajamas, I heard this conversation…
Hubby: Justin, now you don’t sleep on the floor already…Why huh?
Justin: Justin big boy now, Justin sleep on the bed. Sleep with mommy and mei mei.
Hubby: Then why daddy has to sleep on the floor?
Justin: Daddy small mah…
Hubby and I couldn’t help ourselves from laughing, he’s really 人小鬼大.

Most men like cars and will take good care of their babies. But my hubby is the opposite. He doesn’t take care of his car, and treats it just as a mean of transport to get around and to put his golf set!He leaves his car under the sun and rain, and seldom parks the car under shed. He never bother if there are bird sh*t on the car too!!! So, the car is really dirty by now, as I’m writing this post! I’d just checked it out just now! Don’t even think of him washing the car by himself, he’ll either ask the maid to wash it, or go to the car wash.
Maybe I should just get him some car covers. They can protect his car, and the other cars in the house, from damaging UV rays, rain and debris. Even if he parks the car at his office, he can still use it without worrying that the cover will be blown off as its elastic hem will keep the cover on the car or he still worries too much, ther are grommets which are included to secure the cover. But it’s Ipoh here, since when the wind is so strong??? Another thing is, it’s easy to be taken off and be folded in just minutes, so hubby has no excuse not to use it or gives me lame excuses like it’s inconvenient.
BTW, I think he needs better car floor mats too, especially those made of durable nylon pile with a heavy non-slip rubber backing. I hate to nag him to vacuum his car over and over again…

Golf is hubby’s favorite sport. He will play golf as much as possible whenever he has the time for it. For example, he is not going outstation this week, so he wakes up at 6am to tee off at 7am, before anyone of us wakes up from dreamland! Not only that, he goes to golf range in the evening to practice his swings, and he has a golf “sifu” (trainer) who he plays with most of the time.Gee, it sounds like my hubby is really serious in turning himself into a professional golfer huh? But he still has a long way to go as he started golf quite late.
Well, I have no idea how excited he will be if he stays in golf course communities like the pic below….
.JPG)
The houses are nestled in the Canyon Gate Country Club community, which offers its resident’s privacy and security. However, only members of this club are actually allowed to play it, aside from guest invitations.
He has always had this dream of playing golf with all his kids in oversea after he retires. It would be better if he can buy a house there!!! Then, I bet he will be golfing from whole day long, unless they have night golf, of course!
It’s really not hard to find house within the golf course home in US.. Golf Course Pararadise is ultimate of golf course communities and real estate in the U. S. A. They have a comprehensive and complete list of houses in all the states of US, and it’s really user-friendly. All we need to do is click on the state we are interested in, and there is a list of posts describing the various of golf courses there.
But then, it’s really EXPENSIVE!!! Hubby will surely have to delay his retirement if he wants to have one. LOL!

Ever since hubby’s back from Bangkok recently, Justin’s been sticking to him like a koala bear.
- The first thing he asks when he opens his eyes in the morning is “Where’s papa?”
- If he wakes up in the middle of the night, “papa, papa, papa …”
- When hubby’s going out, “Papa, follow papa…. *cry*”
- When hubby’s eating, “Eat papa’s rice, dun want Justin’s rice*
- When hubby’s taking shower, “*Crying* papa, papa … *
- When hubby’s watching TV, “Papa, watch Barney. Sit with Justin.”
- When he’s sleep, “Sleep with papa ….”
He’s so sticking until hubby beh tahan and “sneaked” out to gym yesterday, leaving Justin crying and crying and crying. I was hugging him tightly, watching hubby’s car got out from the house, and just when it’s out of sight, my boy stopped crying and started eating the apple I’d prepared.
See, he’s so good at controlling his dad!

Hubby has very bad eye-sight. If he’s not wearing his glasses, he can’t walk nicely without bumping into things! Since he plays golf a lot, glasses are not convenient for him. Thus, he’ wearing contact lenses most of the time.
He likes to buy his lenses from the optical shop at Jusco, but coincidentally, he can’t find his much preferred brand, Acuvue, from that shop and the sales personnel always ask him to return to the shop on some other day.
Actually, hubby doesn’t need to go through all this hassle. He just doesn’t know that he can shop for contact lenses online! There are lots of contact lenses he can choose from. And the prices are greatly cheaper too. So, I better let him know about this tomorrow! But I’m not sure if about the shipping fees! That he will have to find out himself!
