The First (Brain Spillage)

To kick of "The Best Of....", this is the very first blog entry I ever wrote which was in December 2005. Seriously a newbie, I wasn't anywhere near finding my blog feet yet. This first post was published in a friendster blog. From there I moved to blogspot and eventually bought my own domain name. My first few blog posts was about golf. September 2007, I have achieved a few birdies already! I still haven't broken 100 yet in golf but in futsal, Steve passes the ball to me now since I've really improved my game. This old dog can still learn new tricks!! I'm not so serious about the golf anymore though!

Ready for the new year

So this is blogworld. Appears to be a self promoting forum where no one posts a reply since no one reads the damn thing anyway. So here I am, doing my bit for self promotion and really just some place to record down what I'm bitchin' about these days. Mostly it'll be about me and my sports.

Happy New Year!!! We're nearly in 2006 (at the time of writing, fewl) and it's been a mad year I've had in 2005. Ah.... golf! The sport of whackin' a wee white (sometimes yellow) ball 400 yards past (sometimes into) trees, sand and water just so it can be knocked into a gopher hole. I'm not here to represent the gopher's opinion of all that since I've been guilty of Gopher Home Invasion this year. THIS WAS THE YEAR I decided to get SERIOUS about GOLF. So it's been a year. And you know what? I still haven't broken 100 yet. Insert seriously offensive insults here. Standard of golf ability - Bullshit. Money spent on golf - Small island country's GDP. I've changed my swing numerous times and my driver - twice, fairway wood - twice, utility in favour of 5 wood, irons - twice, wedges - twice and a completely new one, putter - four bloody times!!!! I love warehouse sales.... don't you? A good excuse spending thousands of bucks thinking I'm saving munny. Saving while spending. Whee.... What does one man do with three complete golf sets?

IT IS HERE where you will read about the first time I break 100 but don't hold your breath for 90. You will hear about the first birdie cos I have already managed a few pars. Eagle? Fuck that. It is also here you will hear me whine and bitch about the game till you demand of me why is it that I play this exasperating, frustrating, demanding and selfish game?!?!

Cos I love it that's why. Nothing better than pissin' off gophers.

Futsal! The brilliant game which has older has beens still fantasising that they're playin' football. Alright!!!! That's for me that is. Been playing futsal, hereafter known as 'footy', for a few years now. Have one silver medal and 50 bucks to show for it. But like golf.... it's fun. More importantly - it's CHEAP! My golf set - RM3500.00 (warehouse sale!), my footy shoes - RM79.00 (stock clearance!). One hour of footy - RM100 (to be spilt between 10 guys), one round of golf - about RM50 to RM200.... per person. Yes, I'm cheap. Glad you realised that.

I love footy.

It's the one thing I can do where I can forget everything else and just play the game. I like playing in a team, the guys in the team I play with are top blokes so that makes it better. Except for Steve. Cos Steve won't pass the ball to me, Steve you *@%$!!!! Other than that, top bloke. Everyone in the team brings something to the game and I don't mean Cheezels and 100 Plus. Kamal scores the goals, Dario's the link man, Adrian starts the fights, Eddie gives the kids something to draw on (BYO crayons though) and so on and so forth. What do I contribute? The yelling and the bruises and scrapes I suppose. No. Not really. Actually I don't bring the bruises and scrapes. I leave with them. Cool. Regular cat burglar me.

So anyway, this all's to kick off me blog. I won't be telling you my life story. You'll be hearing about the things that don't matter. Cheers. See you in 2006.
