From all of us staunch members of Sikit2 Untong... THANK YOU Selesa Home for another much to talk about golf outting...and we know .... as boldly uttered by Gen Mac Arthur..."I (we) shall return..."

It is obvious...nothing stands in the way of hungry golfers...it seems to be all men for themselves here...this the only time nobody notice the President ... ayo berapa hari tarak makan kah?.....
This was the makan spirit of Sikit2 Untong at the banyak sedap lunch - Selesa Home Coffee lounge ...yes it was a deserving lunch for all including our guest of honour Dennis ( the menace? )

Back at the club house after a good round of golf and a handful of tips from the President ... of who is the boss even on the golf course !!!.... its time for a cold or is it a warm shower and a quick change followed by more teh-tarik...kurang gula le

"...wah how can....putting also President first huh...my ball is further back la..."
Charlie quietly complaining to sendiri...

Pulling the trolleys up towards the 2nd hole....ayo...why must the slope be so steep...patah tulang yo..
( fortunately unnoticed ...the gibbons high in the trees were laughing ...ugh ugh...hoot ....hoot...)



At the first green...surrounded by more lush and fresh green added by the cool morning breeze....

We know, Gary is getting restless ( he even refused to look) ...what to do...the Big Boss as usual...leads the way...
Kelvin teeing-off...the 1st Nine Selesa Golf Resort...
The red-caps all line-up for the assault...this time with our guest of honour Dennis (in the centre..supposed to be slaughterd by the Sikit2 Untong but ...blimey he overturned the table!!..

"....yes, sebelum pukul...mesti makan dulu..." its breakfast at the mamak corner hide-out...roti canai, eggs, kopi kurang manis ( yeah I heard that... somebody ordered air suam kurang manis...the poor mamak put-up a smile but I know he was confused...)
As per our SOP, by 0645 hrs we were all there at Bukit Tinggi village for our sarapan pagi...

YES, ITS BACK TO SELESA


As always, we tend to miss our outings especially Selesa Golf, Bukit Tinggi....yes we do realise there were reports of tremor in the vicinity but that somehow could'nt resist us Sikit2 Untong to be lured to the beauty and the lovely atmosphere of the mountain resort....

Last but not least was our good Charlie Cheong, the don't play-play Treasurer...receiving the CNY gift from Mike. Yes, Mike certainly qualify to be the big brother for the day having given all those gifts...but I wonder what were the rest doing...apa lagi... makan kacang dan limau le...Gong Xi Fa Cai...

Third in line was none other then Steve Tan ... our mighty hole-in-one wizard...to receive the special CNY gift from Mike. From Mike's face you can tell he must be thingking " hey, what about me?..."
For that no worry, for there were lots of cookies and oranges to go around for everybody...that was the true spirit...semua ada makan...

Next in line, the Chairman, Gary Chang to be handed over the CNY gift by the ever smiling Mike. This seems to be a good season for Gary... collecting gifts and not forgetting the Championship trophy too...wow, sure lucky guy aye...

THE CHINESE NEW YEAR IS HERE...


The wait for the Chinese New Year is at long last here...Gong Xi Fa Cai...The Year of the Rat...families gathered for their dinner reunion...close friends too being invited for the ever meaningful tossing of the yee sang ... each praying for a better future...in health, wealth, good fortune, etc...the young with open hands for ang pow packets...
For the Sikit2 Untong, those celebrating the New Year were also not forgotten...here Mike handing over CNY gifts to the President, Kelvin Kong...Gong Xi...Gong Xi...

GARY CHANG THE SIKIT2 UNTONG 2007 CHAMPION


"...well done Gary!!..." congratulated by Kelvin, the President. It was lots of laughter at the start but it was Gary eventually laughing all the way home....huh huh huh...
The Sikit2 Untong Annual Championship Challenge Trophy was kindly donated by JP Morgan through Mr Soh Chye

THE SIKIT2 UNTONG 2007 ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIP

The line-up one for the album...prior to the Sikit2 Untong Annual Golf Championship at KGAT

ANDREW KEEPING FIT


To Andrew, walking the course for his weekly golfing outing is no big deal, even the known so-called obstacle course KGAT failed to keep him away. Not with the bunch of Sikit2 Untong hanging around to make your day, be it on the course with the individual style of play or at the teh-tarik corner after a refreshing shower.
A good sweat, good jokes (or is it dirty?...whatever) with smiles all round certainly makes the world go round (faster?).

HOLE-IN-ONE MIGHTY STEVE


Yes, Steve did us Sikit2 Untong proud by getting a hole-in-one...at the 11th hole KGAT late last year.
On being asked how he did it "...well, the pond was on the right so, I don't have much choice but to put the ball in the hole..."
Here at the Japanese dinner, Steve being awarded and congratulated by Gary, the ever smiling Chairman ( hey...in Sikit2 Untong everybody seems to be smiling...don't play-play)






The Chairman, Gary pouring-out one of his numerous and humourous Japanese experience "...you know this guy..."(SENSORED so soli, stlikli for members onli)...from the smile on Allen's face no wonder mesti potong - need to be sensored!!


The above scene was more or less the buka selera prior to the lovely Japanese dishes we had.

JAPANESE DINNER AT THE LEGEND


Never short of an outing...even the type of food...yes, the Sikit2 Untong members are also great eaters...we always have a long list of macam-macam rasa menu ... mau tukar-tukar... so, why not... next was Japanese diet ... moshi-moshi, haig... arigatuk, etc...takashimashuk?

WILLIE'S SECRET KEEPING YOUNG AT HEART


"...calling it a day after having years of serving as a professional infantry soldier...I found it hard to lead a normal healthy life... not until I bumped into these live-wires of Sikit2 Untong...this group certainly make me look-forward from day-to-day, week-to-week if not year-to-year...it certainly pushed the stress, loneliness, dead-ends, etc aside..."

"...now let me show you how it's done...easy...2 in 1...first left foot out...cha cha cha..."

OUR LOYAL CADDIES


...yes, these are the good caddies of ours whilst golfing at the Cameron Highlands Golf Club. They are so loyal to us, they really tolerate our two days of play and they also ensure that most of our supposed to be lost balls were eventually recovered!!...fantastic huh?...

CAMERON HIGHLANDS OUTINGS


The beauty of golfing at Cameron, after the 1st Nine, we were still fresh as ever...yes, especially with the thin, cool and refreshing air...and not forgetting the beautifully painted scenery to admire.
L/R - Steve, Andy and Kelvin

Every Penny Counts-The Treasurer


...as the saying goes..."don't judge the book by ...."...yes, this particular guy might be smiling too...but he will certainly be coming on to you for the very last penny...!!!...yes, he is the one that ensures the account remains blue and not red...our mighty Sikit2 Untong Treasurer-Charlie Cheong
On the other hand...you may wish to challenge him for a round of golf and he'll tell you who will be smiling at the 18th hole...!!!

Scooping The Puzzles - The Secretary






...the others gone home...happy with their score of the day (or is it?)...leaving behind...as always...the lone secretary to put 2 and 2 together (or is it 3 and 3... or whatever...) ...yeah...the Sikit2 Untong Secretary... Andy Kamal...but come what may, the smile will always be there...because you never know what's coming tomorrow...as mentioned by Samy... "itu semua kuasa Tuhan..."

Putting-Decide the final score


Charlie, the Sikit2 Untong Treasurer happily volunteered to hold the pin...to ensure perfect score??....yeah, it showed how serious these guys could be during competitions...

Before Tee-off

GOLFING OUTINGS

Slow and steady, from its original weekly base (KGAT), the brotherly-hood of eleven spread its wings to other golf courses. To start witlh, Selesa Golf Bukit Tinggi was picked simply due to its scenic view and what more for its healthy and cool surroundings - away from the buzzing and polluted air of the Klang Valley. Apart from that, it's only about half an hour drive from KL.



Furthermore, apart from the sweet humming of birds and the constantly dominance howling of the gibbons and the monkeys high in the trees in the surrounding hills (hopefully not due to the standard of our golfing or the numerous OBs into the forest...!!!), Selesa is simply the place to get away from stress once in awhile. The course especially on week-days, hardly see many golfers and this is certainly good for one to concentrate more in addressing their play if they want to improve that is!



After a round of golf, a quick teh-tarik and change, the Sikit2 Untong could be seeing streaming straight to Janda Baik for their routine lunch at gerai Mak Cik by the cool and clear water flowing river-side.



What else can you ask for more. A good golf outing followed by a healthy lunch.

As for spreading its wings we the ever looking for more challenges, had apparently landed on Cameron Highlands couple of times in particular at the Cameron Highlands Golf Club, not only surrounded by the natural beauty of the rolling hills but also of the cool and fresh mountain air.

Who knows, basing on the standard of play, Sikit2 Untong certainly seems very much eager to spread its wings much further...would you believe to...
