Dah main golf tu tak bazir...?

That's the question my eldest son asks everytime we argue about buying toys he and his brother like. The conversation goes like this...

Son : Ayah, nak ni boleh? (While pointing to the toys in the shopping complex)

Ayah : Tak yah la.. Banyak dah beli... Membazir je... Main 2 minit pas tu rosak... (While looking at the price...)

Son : Bazir je tau... Dah main golf tu tak bazir... Ketuk bola... Jalan... Ketuk.. Jalan... Kena kepala baru tau... Ikut sangat kawan tu... Kalu War (his nick name) ikut sangat cakap kawan, marah. War nak beli ni sikit pun tak boley...

Well, that simple conversation or I would rather call it as "leteran" :), would normally leave me speechless. Not angry at all. And everytime it happens, I will seek kinda assistance from Alex. Gotcha, Alex is as speechless as I am. To be frank, until now I have no idea on how to answer this particular question from my son. Help me folks! Especially to my golf buddies. You are referred as "kawan" by my son... So, you gotta help me answer his question.

While my son & me have our own points to argue, I would really like to see his angle of argument. See whether you can assist me finding his valid point. Meanwhile, allow me to stipulate some bewildering facts that have been boggling my mind thus far:

- Is palying golf really wasting? Money, energy, time, etc? To me it's about sports.

- Do I really "ikut cakap kawan" as claimed by my son? I don't think so either.

- To the fact that I do not lie on buying same toys and it breaks in a very short period of time.

- Is it me who encourage them for wanting more toys everytime? Partly true as I mostly refer to the price as the deciding factor. If it is below RM5.00, then, I will somehow mellow down and finally pay.

Haaa... Buck, you think easy ah? Buat anak senang... Tapi nak maintain...? Tahu la kau.. :)

Nevertheless, of all the facts above, how do we really share them with our kids.... Come on, help me...

Come to think about it, is it now the best time for us to grow them "glokal"? where "akar berpaksi di kota dan desa namun akal menerjah serata dunia..."

Come to think about it once again, memang really "baru tau" if the golf ball hits my head... Like what happened to my buddy where the golf ball hit his left-side chess. Thank God he has a thicker breast. Kinda cushion at least. Or kinda absorber bumber. The impact was nto that heavy. :-). He actually hit the ball nicely. Somehow the ball went straight to the steel box (the sprinkler cover on the field) and being good in physics, of coz the ball will get reflected towards as fast as he hit. It sounds "dddduuuuppppp".... And he fell down and laugh for pain... Hahahha.

Okay la...
