... so good to have a break in Phuket, Thailand

Thanks to Marriott Vacation Club, we had a cheap $119/- stay in the 2 bedroom suite for 3 nights! So we took the opportunity since Andrea and Jon were on leave to make a quick break there. The accommodation was superb and the Thai food marvelous. 


The weather was wet (drizzling most days) but great for a lazy weekend of reading and just chilling. We rented a car and spent an afternoon in Patong Beach area for foot scrub and massage.


Life is good ... to be able to take a quick getaway!

... so good to take a golf break

It was so good to take a 6 day / 5 night golf trip to Lijian and Dali in Yunnan province, China with Mark, Gabriel, Danny and a few other friends. The highlight of the trip was playing at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Golf Course. The highest point on the golf course was 3,206 meters above sea level. The weather was perfect for golf hovering around 22+ degree with low humidity. 


We played golf in the day and cards in the evening. Lots of fun and laughter. The scores didn't matter as we played with blind partners. The group was divided into 2 teams by drawing straws after the games and best ball of the team won the hole. So though I played quite bad (driver was not cooperating and I had to tee off with irons), I won most rounds (3 dinner, 1 lunch and paid my own lunch once). Even won cards against Danny and Gabriel which is a rarity. 


That's what a break should be like - no stress of what to do, to eat or where to go. Just go with the flow, doing stuff we enjoy when we want! Life is good.
