So I had to be in Singapore for just two days this week. Hot Mummee and the two kids sent me to KL Sentral to catch the express train. It was just going to be a quick drive-by drop-off. I gave HM a hug and kiss, hopped out the car while Caitlin climbed infront to [...]

That’s a description I had heard my bothers describe of me earlier, when i was fooling around and followed them to the driving range one evening. They said I have a good swing, only it lacked the whip of the wrist, that my swing is too rounded and even. Otherwise, I do “feel” it too [...]

Get out and push!
