OF A RICH MAN'S GAME

I'm still stuck at Laguna National helping out in the BMW golf tournament since Monday. Stayed overnight, over many many nights, it almost feels like a camp, except that there is aircon, and a nice suite to stay in. Finally, I am going to go home! The job here isn't exactly fantastic, nor is it absolutely fun, but we manage to find our own fun in our own way. Job starts at like 0545 daily as the tee off time for the qualifiers are earliest at 0700, so we have to wake up at unearthly hours of 0500 or so. Job ends at 2100 daily.

Sounds like torture? Not exactly as well. After tee offs we eat our breakfast at 8+, rest until 11+ for the afternoon flight, end at about 2+, eat lunch and then rest till there is work to do, ie keying in scores and such. Other than that we will be just hanging around our rooms, going for buggy rides or hogging on the OSIM massage chair in the ladies room. We even went to the hot bath yesterday... :)

In short, our job is to be busy with registration, eat, rest/play, another busy with registration period, eat, rest/play, act bimbotic, eat and key in scores again. Night activities includes hot bubble bath in the nice big tub, rolling around the bed and going out for supper and watch drag queens at Changi V.

Buggy Rides
The highlight of our day would probably be the buggy rides. For ignorant bulbuls who dunno what is a buggy, it is those little club car that golfers drive out so they wun need to walk the whole 18 holes. And since we have an exceptionally good relationship with the golf director, we get to buggy out during our breaktimes around the course.
As what Pingsays, attitude = snobbish. WHY?
Cos I have got a CLASS 3 license!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No turns and corners can slow me down (yeah right)... It's fun to drive a buggy, and it is also quite...........fun to sit in a buggy of a non-class 3 person, where you will feel as though you are on a rollercoaster that has no quality control. :P And since we have such good car control, the class 3-ers (ME AND PING!!!) are always showing off, driving with 1 hand lar, complaining about some other's driving skills and be on the phone while driving. LOL

But seriously, having sat in some non-class 3-ers car, I really could feel for my poor driving instructor. I got heart attacks time and time again. :P Now I shall learn to be a safe driver. :D

All fun no work makes life too good to be true. Of course there will be idiots around lar.... the people we are under aren't exactly what we hoped for, though we never prayed for heaven. In fact, some are exceptionally irritating and redundant. And we thought temps were quite useless. They stand around and apparently, "help" us. So gross. I don't even wanna think more.
