... so good to take a golf vacation in Bangkok

Bangkok is the golfer's paradise. Lots of good golf courses, great food and all so affordable! The four of us (Vincent Koh, Richard Chua, I and Ben Woo) went for a 3 night/4 day golf break in Bangkok.


We had great accomodation at the Narai which offered a great breakfast buffet spread. Then 4 rounds of golf at Pinehurst, Royal Park, Green Valley and Thana City before heading home on Singapore Airlines.


The golf course were pretty flat but still offered sufficient challenges with water and bunkers everywhere. It was good to have birdies and pars each round ... so no complain. Playing with caddy is just a luxury! Life is great!

... so good to have birthday dinner at Singapore Cricket Club


Jon had a company trip to Bangkok, so we had a belated birthday dinner at SCC when he came back. Actually we were also away in Batam on Connie's birthday.

Connie and I both had tenderloin steak and it was really nice. Unfortunately, they didn't serve crepe suzette which would have made the perfect meal. But we had a great time with Jon and Andrea!

Thank, Jon for a lovely dinner! Love you all!

... so good to have a quick getaway in Batam

Connie wanted a quick getaway (to avoid a department retreat) so we took a quick break at Turi Beach, Batam. I played 2 rounds of golf and Connie got a spa treatment plus manicure and pedicure!

It was also her birthday and our anniversary - so it was sort of combined celebration.



We had a Japanese dinner teppanyaki in the hotel and a seafood dinner at a nearby seafood joint. Took sunset walk around the resort and it was so peaceful and relaxing. Good break!


Birthday Girl !

... so good to play for free at Tanah Merah Golf and Country Club

Societe Generale invited me to play at the Garden Course at TMCC, one of the premier and most expensive golf club in Singapore. I invited Danny Liu and we had a great time. The weather was perfect except for a little rain delay and the course was challenging but so scenic.

Almost perfect ... if only they would move the airport away as the club is in the direct flight path!


The closest we got to the hole in one prize - Jaguar! Life is great!
