Which is the greater achievement?

Had my first eagle at golf today. Gading Raya, Hole 1, 474meters, blue tee, 2 on, one putt. How amazing! -2 under par! I am still wondering how I had hit 250 meters for my driver and 220 meters for my 3 wood (my average is 220 and 190 respectively). I was only 1.5 meters away from the hole on the green. What an achievement!

But compared to my good friend cum neighbour Dennis' (Head of an MNC here, see his photo in Mount Bromo posting) "achievement", his too has some "bite":

He had finished watching soccer in Kemang at 1am. Took a wrong turn and ended up in Pondok Indah, found a highway but ended up in Serpong. Went up the high way and ended up at Taman Mini (in direction of Bogor), U-turned, cried for joy when he saw "Cawang", and ended home after 3am. 2 hours on roads past midnight and at high speeds can cover an equivalent distance of Singapore to KL. By the way, Kemang is less than 8km away from our home.

In Singapore's terms, it's like staying in Orchard, was watching soccer in Marina, took a wrong turn to Havelock, up the highway to Jurong, U turned and reached Woodlands, then back to Orchard from there!

Both are rare occurences that took strokes of luck and numerous possibilities to make near-impossibles happen, so which is the greater "achievement"?

What's missing?

Supposedly helps to improve their thoughts and hence played the game of "What's missing?" with Greg.

Picture 1:

Me: What's missing on this bear?
Greg: No nose
Me: Good job! The bear has no nose!

Picture 2:

Me: What's missing from this bicycle?
Greg: One wheel
Me: Good! You remembered that your bicycle has two wheels and this one has only one wheel, hence, one wheel is missing right?
Greg: Yes!

Picture 3:

Me: What's missing from this squirrel?
Greg: One ear
Me: Ok, one ear is hidden and therefore you don't see it. Besides one ear that you don't see, what is missing on this squirrel?
Greg: One hand
Me: Nope, it has two hands. I give you a clue: Cats and dogs have it, but Gregory don't have it
Greg: I don't know!
Me: Cats and dogs have it at their backside.
Wife: And kangeroos too, they have it at their backside. It's long.
Greg: I know! 大便 ! (Shit)

Greg's BFF

Inspired by Paris Hilton's BFF, Greg begins his own version after watching that and "Dancing with Stars"

Here, he dances with Aya, of Japanese-Indonesian descent. Clearly a beauty in the makings.




Dancing with Jennifer, of Australian-Chinese descent. Hmmm..does it look like dancing?





First day at school. Joke - Calls out to the teacher: "Auntie, Bak Bak (Meat) where?" when he couldn't find any meat in his lunch.

Movie Star

It's been almost 3 months since I had last posted something. Because most events could also be read from www.paulinepang.blogspot.com

Anyway, I had my first movie in the cinema next door. Pleasantly, I took 3 min to get there!

After the movie, I started to detect a hint of stardom in Greg. Gradually, the signs became clear:





Dr Watson, have you seen my hat?





Jet Li, come fight with me.





Wherever you can climb, I can climb higher.





Oops, wrongly interpreted role.





Hehehe, you have to admit, this is good right?





MTV rocks!





Scar-Face, literally. (Banged into wall while chasing me for protection (money))





Are you convinced that he is star material?
