The induction course lasted pretty much the whole morning. The general manager was telling us about the history of the course and club, and general etiquette stuff amongst others. It also touched on how to get your handicap, to improve games and all that. I'm so excited to start playing there. I'm hoping to improve my game, and perhaps get myself a handicap so I can play in ladies / mixed competitions~! :P hehehe... a little ambitious huh? :P
Besides 2 beautiful courses, Sandhurst also has a really nice health club - complete with swimming pool, sauna, gym area and also group classes. Pretty much like a gym really... So I'm gonna cancel my existing gym membership, and just go to the club, since it's already included in the membership anyways.
Got myself a new Odyssey putter too :)
AND
We went to collect my new pair of golf shoes that arrived in store :)) Yays~!! Advanced Christmas pressie (one of them anyway).
My bag tag :) Proud member... wheee~!!!!
After running around, getting orientated to the club and surroundings, picking up my shoes and stuff, we headed down to the city to pick up the item that I have been waiting for....
The highly anticipated
Engagement ring~!!!
The centre piece is the diamond that Jon proposed with in Hong Kong. The setting and the side stones, were chosen by the both of us after we got back to Melbourne. The side stones are set in a channel setting, with pink and clear diamonds alternating.
The pink diamonds are super expensive, and pretty rare... so we couldn't really afford them. Resorted to alternating them instead with normal diamonds... but I love the final product :D
It's a little different from the normal solitaire that most people have (although, they are classically beautiful~!!! Timeless!!) and I love how the touch of pink gives it character :) They are not too pink, just subtly done so it still looks like a normal engagement ring at a glance, but if you look closer, then you'll see the pink diamonds do look quite different. It took the jeweller quite some time to source the shade of pink that I wanted (they were too pink initially) but I guess, the wait is over, cause the ring is now finally on my finger!!
Thank you Papa Bear~!! I love it.
And I love you. *muah*

wyongshen: Thank you~!! I'm paying by direct debit. It's about 200+ a month for lifetime membership - but I suppose you can cancel anytime. I didn't buy the shares. Didn't think it was worth it.
Yeah, Jon bought me a lop wedge for Christmas - and a new pair of Adidas golf shoes. Am trying to get into it again now that summer's here! *but weather is still like winter though*
Adrianne: Hehehe, trust you to love it :) You always have such sharp eyes for pretty things! :) You need to show me some of your pretty things soon... I think the last I saw, was your LV bag?? Then you went missing in action, and got all domesticated with posting yummy food!! Making me hungry all the time!! **esp the macaroons**
Esther: Yeah, hence why we had to alternate them with normal diamonds... hhehehe... But still loving the end result :D
Puisan: THANK YOU GORGEOUS!!! <3
