Last night went to driving range to get some practise. I was doing great in my driver and irons. But, not in wedges. I've just changed my old wedge(TaylorMade TP 56 & 52 degree) to Titleist Spin Milled 56.14 degree and Titleist 200 Vokey 52.08 degree. Definitely, it brings me a strange feel when I tend to make a shot. Titleist is heavier than TaylorMade. I hope I can use it well on this Sunday for the President Trophy 2008 if there's no any sign of postpone. While, Monday will be the Greensome President Trophy 2008 and once again, I will be teamed up with my dad. This time will be a harder game for us because my handicap dropped to 7 and my dad dropped to 17. So, in average, we will be playing with handicap 14 this time.
No matter how, I'm now on the form to play in these 2 days. I'll do my best and will see what happens next. Thank you.

Just as expected, I didn't do well in today's game. Played under slightly fever and cough condition. But, everything lose to putt. I did so bad on my putt. I couldn't concentrate on my putt. My score was 83 gross. 40 for first nine and 43 for second nine.
1st-Par, 2nd-Par, 3rd-Bogey, 4th-Double Bogey, 5th-Par, 6th-Bogey, 7th-Par, 8th-Birdie, 9th-Bogey, 10th-Par, 11th-Bogey, 12th-Par, 13th-Triple Bogey, 14th-Par, 15th-Par, 16th-Double Bogey, 17th-Par, 18th-Bogey.
This is really a bad score. However, I felt quite happy with my bunker shot. I did it 100%. I'm much improved in it.
28 putts, 7/14 fairway hits, 5/18 greens in regulation.

Tomorrow will be September Monthly Medal 2008. This is just a small event and I'm not feeling so well in these few days. So, tomorrow will just a simple 18 holes game. Not going to put much effort. Just try to get as many par as I can. Won't be a birdie charged game. Again, will be playing with my dad, Mr. Sii and Mr. Loh. I guess I have to get ready to be psychoed. Let's see what happen.

History
This history is just about myself when I wasn't a smoker become a smoker and become ex-smoker. I feel of much worthy to share this on my blog. Back to March 2004, when I was at Melbourne, Australia studying as a MUFY student. Mario, a good friend of mine, the first person who brought me the cigarette's world, had proudly invited me to have a stick of cigarettes. I was struggling with myself if I would take the cigarettes or not. Dad has been an example to me. Dad is a smoker and I was so excited of how does the cigarettes taste. This question brought me to a wonderful smoker's world. I was pretty quite stupid on that decision. At first, it didn't addict me at all. Normally, the first path of cigarettes taken will cause the person to cough but surprisingly, I didn't. I felt so comfortable with it. After that first night of smoking, I didn't touch the cigarettes till one day when Mario came in my room to ask for cigarettes. Disappointingly, I had none. I accompanied him to 7-11 to get one pack of Malboro Red. I will never ever thought that that pack of Malboro Red pulled me in to be a hardcore smoker. It was Thursday evening when me and Mario tried to finish the pack of Malboro Red in 1 hour. From that on, I had become a smoker. I could even finish at least 3 packs of Dunhill King Size 20's spending one night with friends. Averagely, I able to finish at least 1 pack per day. I was so so stupid.
On the halfway life in Melbourne, I ever tried to quit smoking but it failed. I'm sure BaoHui knows it because I told her before I wanted to quit. It failed and I was so disappointed with myself. The days of smoking continued to Miri, Sarawak when I quit my study in Monash College half way run. My mom didn't want me to quit my study so, she brought me to Curtin Uni Miri Campus. And there the days of smoking continued. It getting stronger and stronger when the daylife money usage changed from AUD$ to MYR. Again, that caused my weight decreasing. I ended up with 64kg and lost about 15kg in that year of Miri's life. Good diet?
Time runs, never turn back. Reached 2007, I had quitted my study officially and back Sandakan to help my dad on his business. And still, smoking's life continued. That was the year when I start to feel my lung a bit pain. From what I ever heard, the lung might started to dry. Again, I wanted to quit smoking again. I used a lot of method. Sweets, bubble gums, reduce smoke. None of it was useful. A smoker will never quit his/her smoking habit with only sweets, bubbly gums. That is only excuses. I tried that until I reached the stage of smoke+sweets together. It was quite tasty. So, the 2007 trial on quit smoke failed once again. From RM6.50 per pack to RM 7.30 per pack to RM8.20 per pack.
2008 arrived at last. I smoked until the May 2008. This a month where I had strongly proven that only individual's determination can make a smoker to quit smoking. It depends on how strong is the individual's determination. At that time, I strengthened up my mind. I told myself I will never smoke again. I quit! And YES, this time I'm success. But the progress of quitting smoke wasn't so easy. It was very suffering when the time where you usually smoke, can't smoke. I forced myself not to smoke. No sweets, no bubble gums. Those are fake. My body was giggling, sweating and no energy at all. But still, I wouldn't going to smoke. I couldn't deny that my determination was 100% strong. I suffered for 2 weeks and the 3rd week getting better. And that's the time I had successfully quit after 3 months.
Today, I'm sitting here proudly to tell myself and everyone that I have successfully QUIT smoking. This is not easy to work out. But I did it. I'm very thanks to my Almighty God to give me such a strong determined mind, very thanks to my Dad for giving me so much support. Once again, I'm very proud of myself. And I strongly want to tell myself not to touch cigarettes again. And I strongly want to urge the smokers that you guys can quit anytime. No excuses are to be accepted. It is just the matter of you want or not.

Played 18 holes yesterday with incomplete score. Being psychoed by my dad. I don't really understand what so big deal with win or lose in golf betting as it is only Rm5 per points. Golf is an individual game. I don't disturb other's game and I'm very hope not to be disturbed by other golfers. Unfortunately, I never played peacefully whenever I'm at the same group with well known golfers. Whenever I'm playing very good, there must be a moment they will distract my golf. If they don't want me to win, why don't they play their best to beat me? Why must they interrupt my game? I never wish to win their money though. I played very fair with them. I gave 10 strokes to my dad due to the handicap difference between 7 and 17. I gave one stroke to Mr. Sii due to the handicap between 7 and 8. And still, I can able to win them is because I did my very best. So disappointed to see such golfers. No sportmanship enough. I played well in the first 8 holes with only 2 over par. And missed 2 feets par cause being distracted by my dad. Golf is a very emotional game.
Good news, I'm now ranked 5th in Men's Gross Section all over the Sandakan's Golf & Country Club. And also, I'm ranked 2nd in Men's Nett Section as well after the 3 consecutive wins. I'm quite happy to see that and will do my best of the best to become the top in home club one day.

This week has become my laziest week since September 2008. Made only one day practise on wednesday at driving range. But however, this week is not important to me. This week will only be my practise week because no tournament will be held. So, almost 0% of effort I put on golf this week. I'm well prepared today for golf practise. Later on, will called up caddie master, Jusman, to practise with me. He has been my so-called coach on August. He looked after my golf swing and taught me quite a lot. I had been quite frustrated with my result on the previous Sandakan Open and now, I'm much improved and able to compete with the low handicappers in Sandakan. I hope I can able to score good result on next year's Sandakan Open. I'm not aiming for final day, but to beat KK's Tan Chien Hau and Brandon Lau. These are the top contenders in Sabah. Tan was the 2 times champion in Sandakan continuously at year 2007 and 2008. He is younger than me and able to score in Sandakan. I'm quite proud of him and he will be one of my target. I hope to compete with him again next year and I'll be much stronger by that time.
P/S: Happy Birthday to my youngest sister, Sharon Hii. A word of wish to you, "Study hard and aim for overseas education. Do as what your sisters did. God bless you."

My handicap is now dropped to 7 after Friendly Watch Challenge Trophy 2 days ago. Good or bad news to me? I'm still wondering. Good because I tend to play better and better. Bad because most of the events in Sandakan Golf & Country Club are nett events. Unless I score par golf with 7 handicap or else, I'm not going to get the big trophy. I heard that every year, there are only 2 events which counted as gross event; Sandakan Amateur Open & Club Championship. Possibly, next week will be the President Trophy 2008. I'm looking forward on it again. I'm hoping for the 4th winning streak on that day.
After the win 2 days ago, I gave myself rest on yesterday and today. Not going to touch the clubs for this 2 days. After the 3rd winning streak on Sunday, I'm much more confident on myself. Just like what Alex Lee told me, handicap is just nothing for me. That shows I'm a single handicapper and only aim for gross section. I beat Henry Chu (5-handicapper), Ken Lee (6-handicapper), Henry Hou (3-handicapper), Joseph Ginda (7-handicapper), Sardon Radin (5-handicapper). I'm very proud of myself. But, that was a lucky win for me when I birdied continuously on 1st and 2nd hole as the finishing day. I was 6 over gross after 16 holes. I made a heavy shot on the 1st hole 2nd shot. The ball flew so low and hits the greenside, hopped in the green and rolled for 2 feets birdie. While hole 2, it was a long 25fts putt. The hole position was very hard but it rolled in. That 2 birdies brought me the Gross Winner on that day. So, quite a lucky day.

Today is the tournament day. I didn't have a good sleep last night but I will try my best to make a good score today. I'll put more pressure on every shot that will be made. Yesterday, I went for 9 holes. It was so rush that I didn't play under my own proper condition but I believe I able to make a good swing today. I'll try my best to make another good score and let's see what happen. Thank you~

Went to driving range for 100 balls just now. I didn't put too much concentration on every swing as I was quite tired mentally. The next 2 days will be the Friendly Watch Challenge Trophy 2008. I'm quite on the track with it and looking forward with the top of the leaderboard once again. Let's see what happen.
