Golfing in pajamas! That's the new style LOL! Hayley was trying out the new pair of gloves which we bought her over the weekend.
Back to Hayley... she is the sort of child who is not able to focus on anything regimental nor routined but surprisingly, she is pretty okay at golf meaning that she is able to hit the ball correctly and requires minimal reminders on posture and tempo. That is indeed a relief to us all in constrast to the fact that she has relatively short attention span when it comes to doing her basic penmanship (including Chinese Characters) and simple arithmetic.
Last December, she has progressed to playing on the Par 3 Course and thoroughly enjoys the outdoor lessons. We also realised that she became more interested in the game after we attended the HSBC Women's Champions a few months back.
Oh by the way, Hannah hates golf! She told me that she much prefers swimming as she feels that golf requires too much walking under the sun. Now, swimming is one sport that Hayley is not able to master despite having taken lessons for more than a year now. Although she has no fear of water and clowns around in the pool more often than not, she does not seem to be able to synchronise her strokes. Guess she will need more time.......

Hey, if Hayley is interested in golf, you must encourage it! I'm sure it's great therapy wise as well, to get her focused on an activity she likes, that also happens to develop physical coordination.
And great photos! Your girls are so sweet!
Thanks Monica for the compliment and the great advice. I will continue to do so. :)
Different strokes for different folks - swimming strokes vs golf strokes, ahahaha.
Enough with the corniness already! It's great both your kids love something. It's so important that our kids find something they can excel in so they can develop self confidence. Great that Hayley found her niche!
Thanks Adeline! RK too! He is a Mathematician and Philosopher in the making :) :)! He loves Math, Science and building.
Your girls are cute; Hayley looks so focussed at the club, like she's listening so intently. Definitely gotta encourage her, maybe this could be her passion, Daddy's girl huh?
Hannah looks like you, very sweet.
Thanks for the compliments, Lilian.
Do not be deceived by their looks. They drive me mad most days. I am always either screaming or nagging at them.
Wow Impressive! Hayley playing golf! Glad she has found her niche. She always wears a sweet smile on her face, sometimes secretly.
Hannah is always the loving big jie jie to Hayley.
Nice family photo in a golf outing. Not every family will go on a golf outing. :)
Btw, does Hayley like the origami enough to want to try?
I can't believe this! I actually found your blog through some blogs I am following. This is Xiaowan! How are you???
Oh my goodness, Xiaowan. Am so glad you have my blog though there is nothing much to rave about.
How are you, my friend? Haven't seen you since RGS days! Gosh.. we have so much to catch up. Will email you?!
Thanks so much, Diane. Hannah has just decided to take up golf as well. So KC is a very happy man as he now has 2 members in the family playing with him.
Thanks for the origami. Yes, Hay was quite interested but she has kinda given up. But thanks for asking. I know you want the best for her. In fact, all of you nice ladies, for that matter.
