My body is aching!

Hurhur and myself came up with this weekly sports day together, apart from golfing, and it begins this week.
But it's a good start I would say, we did a mild three-in-one (quite a short one actually) – Jog, Swimming, Basketball.
And I can't wait for badminton, tennis, roller blading and would love to try out squash though.

And oh yes, I had the privilege of attending a 4-course gourmet dinner by Mcdonalds, (yes, macs!) yesterday at one of the newly opened outlets.
It was quite an eye-opening one. Think metal utensils, sauces in saucepans, freeflow drinks and of course, uber great and friendly service by the staff!

I left my camera at home, please pardon the quality of pics, these are taken with my iphonefour.

Macs went all out, and look at the gorgeous yellow roses as a center piece on our dining tables.

I am sure you must be puzzled by what exactly is macs promoting at this event,
and the fact is they are introducing their new addition to their family in Singapore- Teriyaki Grilled Chicken Burger, and it is here to stay.

To make the dinner satisfying and completing, we had the honour to taste Irene Jansen's preparations for two of the dishes!

 
And yes, the highlight of the night.
Definitely 4 outta 5 bea's apples for the chicken burger, love the sour dough bread- soft, chewy and filling,
and the chicken is very well marinated with teriyaki sauce- meat is tender and juicy too.

The one on the right is the Apple Trifle, served with macs famous soft serve! Not an item in the menu though, unfortunately. ;(

In the picture above, it features Jessica Korda(Light purple) & Nicole Castrale (Blue), and as well the kids who are junior golfers from HSBC Youth Golf Programme.

They are in fact, participating in a golf clinic with Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Golfers,
and definitely very exclusive and honoured to have these two famous golfers giving some tips to them.

And this is awesome and sweet, Paula Creamer, (Reigning US Open Champion and TaylorMade-adidas Golf (TMaG) player, actually took some time out of her preps for the HSBC Women's Champions,
and went to meet six of her fans in Singapore for an exclusive skills clinic organised by TaylorMade-adidas Golf.

Paula Creamer has won 11 tournaments as a professional, including 9 LPGA Tour events and has been as high as number 2 on the Rolex Rankings.
Absolutely one of the most privilege moments, to be able to meet their idol and to receive some hands on coaching!

Again, interesting enough, Jiyai Shin (extreme left) and Ai Miyazato (extreme right) signalled the start of the HSBC Women's Champions 2011 by doing a dressed up for their two biggest rivals in their own national costumes.

As you can see, Jiyai Shin dressed up Michelle Wie (second from left) into a hanbok, Korea's distinctive costumer, and while Ai Miyazato dressed up Paula Creamer into a Furisode (a type of kimono).
Whereas Yani Tseng (Middle), watched on approvingly.

I think its meaningful and harmonious, here's a quote from the press release, said by Michelle Wie (yes,she's 21 years old only!),

“I’ve only worn the hanbok a couple of times in my life but it is still a huge part of my family heritage. One of the LPGA’s strengths is how international it is, but we all look the same once we’ve got our golf gear on. I hope this will help people realise how different and rich our backgrounds are and I hope it encourages people to be more interested in our cultural backgrounds,” said the 21-year-old from Honolulu, whose 2010 CN Canadian Women’s Open win is the biggest of her career so far.

Coolbeans, watch out this space for more!
Shall take some rest for a long day tomorrow. Goodnight folks.
