I’ve just had the most awesome Chinese New Year Break for the last 2 weeks. This was a much needed and well deserved break as I had shed much sweat and blood in 2009 working my ass off. Back in 2009, I didn’t really take any break, and my 2 weeks of leaves at the end of December was canceled at the last minute as I had to work on a big pitch.

As shown above, my leaves started on 11th February, just 3 days before the 1st day of Chinese New Year on 14th. From 11th to 13th, I spent my time chilling out and preparing for Chinese New Year, didn’t do much but I did manage to do 2 very important things with regards to golf.

On the 11th, I managed to sell off my complete set of Nike Golf set for a whopping price of Rm4,000. Quite a good price considering I’ve used the set for more than a year. I wasn’t going anywhere far with the clubs and the only option left was to sell it off and get a more forgiving set, a more suitable set for beginners like me.

This is the classic Grinch story of How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr Seuss, published all the way back in 1957! I’m a little surprised myself that this book is still available for sale, after 27 years!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is about Grinch, a mean old man who wants to stop Christmas from arriving so that people will not be happy. So, he went on to steal all the Christmas presents from the kids, thinking Christmas will not come, since everyone will be sad and won’t be in celebration moods.

Christmas came of course, and the Grinch finally understood the meaning of Christmas after a series of events.

This is a very popular book and even movies have been made, starring Jim Carrey, too! If you don’t have a copy yet, grab one now from Amazon, you’ll treasure it for a long time.
