SHORT ADVENTURE

I started something in the beginning of June, and ended it in end of June as well. Should have push on, but thinking long term, it doesn’t benefit me at all. Anyway, family members don’t support me on this as well so everytime I say I am doing this, they shake their head. Demoralizing huh.

Standing was long hours, hands kept working with cold water (frequent immersion in cold water can suffered from rheumatoid arthritis) and colleagues are loud/aggressive. Money was little. 

Those were the bad points.

The good ones, are basically the servicing of customers. It was really nice when you pack their drinks and say thank you. They smile back or sometimes, strike a small conversation.

Perhaps I am better being a customer. OR perhaps I am not suitable for such environment. However, I worked in Hans Café before and the environment is much friendlier. At least, the staff don’t chit-chat so loud that the person taking the orders have to kept asking customers to repeat themselves.

If you have guess it right, yes, I have a short stint at Koi Café in the East. If you see me before, most of the time I am packing the drinks and saying “thank you and have a nice day”. 

Now I wonder what  is my next adventure =)

GOLF - 7TH + 8TH LESSON (Mandai Golf Course)

Finally we went to the golf course. It was drizzling so we couldn’t get into the golf course until the siren goes off.

 

The coach checked that we have everything, but reprimanded us when we did not bring tee and balls. Seriously, I was not very happy that time. How can I be happy when I am being accused for forgetfulness. It was our first time going into the golf course and he did not inform us pre-hand on what to bring and what to prepare. If he did, we would have purchase it when we went to a golf fair. I felt injustice, but kept quiet. Then he  lectured me again loudly for wearing sports short (adidas running shorts), saying that I never learnt. But really, instructions are not clear. All he did when he told me on my dressing was asking me to wear polo shirt! Can you imagine how I feel. In my mind, I was giving him kicks and punches. Anyway, I courteously told him I have a pair of extra button shorts in the car, if he insist I can just go change. He toned down a little and say nevermind. I guess he is unhappy with us when we have to wait for our turn to go into the golf course and that’s when he says we should go for a drink, I did not offer to pay. But that’s my assumption.

 

We head to the first hole. No instructions given before we went in as well. All he did was yell and being impatience. That kind of sucky attitude lasted until the 5th hole. From the 1st to the 5th hole, I sweared at him inside my head. All I want to do is to get over and done with. Towards the end, he tone down a little and explained with more patience. However, it was too late. Rain came and we have to rush to finish the remaining holes.

 

If you asked me if my 1st golf course experience is a good one, I can be really honest… NO.
Then if you asked me what is the reason I did not enjoy the game… is because of the coach.

Like very honest hor -.-

 

When hb and I are prepared to learn new things from our 1st experience in the golf course, and the temperament from an attitude coach spoilt our chance of absorbing knowledge from the game. It was sad and pitiful. The thing is, we did not owe him a living and we did not engage his services for free. WE PAY MONEY YOU KNOW!! I don’t expect someone calling himself a teacher when he don’t know how to teach.

 

We have 2 more lessons with him. And he trying to act as if he forgotten about it. Even though I paid 10 lessons, I decided to forget about the last 2 lessons.

 

You know I have so many complains with this guy. So long that an A4 size paper is not enough for me to write. Did I even mention anything about his student which is a Doctor (doctor, doc wife and 2 kids) after us and he can make us go elsewhere to finish the golf balls in the driving range just because the doctor came and our time is not even up? Then the students in front of us continue using the space even when it is our time slot just because they always give him money for free through illegal betting (bet on how far he can hit). Very SIAN LOR!

 

If he ever see my blog…

 

I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU ‘Mr Malek bin Talib – coach for BISHAN DRIVING RANGE’, ALTHOUGH WE ARE NOT RICH BUT WE PAY FOR YOUR 10 GOLF LESSONS. WE HAVE NEVER MISS ONE SINGLE LESSON. WE TALK TO YOU POLITELY AND EXPECT SAME IN RETURN. THAT FINAL TWO LAST LESSON WHICH WE ALREADY PAID FOR, TAKE IT AS TIPS. 

 

It is just so disturbing. On our 4th lesson, hb and I actually have already decided to take another 10 more lessons from him before going for certification. Forget it, guess as long as we can afford (although we are not rich people), we can get another reputable coach who will treat people with respect (not seeing how wealthy one person is).

 

Sorry, rant too much… but so angry you know.
