Needless to say I am a Singapore based blogger huh! Trying to promote world renown Singapore Beer? Na...and but in a way.. haha
Actually man! here we are talking the one and only TIGER WOODS soon-to-be the first world sports' billion dollars man as predicted by Golf Digest.
We are not going to talk about what Woods's golf aspirations. Nor anything about his win after win of the tournament, or birdie, putting. We will leave to Golf Journals and Professionals. And we will see what are his off the Course aspiration and activities and sundries.
The man who lives by the golf course and rejected a coveted Hollywood role. When shooting a golf game with motion-capture session by Robert Luketic, a Hollywood veteran. When it was over,Luketic said,

"Man, that was good. I want to talk about a big Hollywood role. Your agent's got the contract and the script."
Woods said, "No, I want a green coat, not that other thing."
"You want a what?"
"A green coat. It's what you get when you win the Masters."
Luketic shook his head. "I've met everybody in Hollywood," he said, "and I've been more intimidated meeting you than anyone else. I didn't sleep all night last night."
"Because you were out all night," Woods said, smiling.
Luketic said, "Tiger Woods is so Zen. You just watch this man who's in control, and I'm, like—I'm a mess, I'm a director, I'm shouting and going crazy."
"We do that, too," Woods said. "We just do it internally. It's like playing poker."
"Well, it's been a pleasure and an honor."
"Now can I go to the bathroom?"
-------------------------------------------- I am sure he got the look. Don't you agree? Acting wise, maybe he knows himself what he is good at doing. But from this short conversation, I say he is not attention seeker. Maybe got all it enough. Do you think this is a form affirmation that he doesn't prefer the lime light but just a down-to-earth bloke?
When asked What's the biggest thing he's had to sacrifice for his golf?
Woods said, "Anonymity." Remember, in 2004, he took the company to the court that built his yacht -Privacy- for violating a confidentiality agreement by providing photographs and other details to the press?.
He tries to live a normal life. He and his wife Elin go to movies, eat in restaurants, and shop at the grocery store. Woods still keeps up with childhood friends, whom he refers to as "my boys"; He still receives extra security at golf tournaments, but he doesn't have a bodyguard or an entourage, and he does all his own driving and pumps his own gas.
Of course, being Tiger Woods there are limits to normality. It's amusing to read how his scheduled calendar has four seasons: Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, and PGA Championship. And see how he describes his milestones and measures time. Boys! in tournaments.
"Elin and I met at British Open of 2001. We started going out at Target World, and she moved in at Bay Hill of '02." They were married, in Barbados, two days after Amex of '04. haha..
He and Elin are living in Windermere, a suburb of Orlando, in a gated golf community called Isleworth Country Club. Their house—Florida stucco- red tile roof—is relatively modest in comparison with many at Isleworth, and is directly across the street from the driving range.
"There are a lot of divorces at Isleworth," Nevertheless, decided to move.
In January, they bought a ten-acre compound on Jupiter Island, off Florida's east coast, for $38 million, a small price for Woods, who made enough. In their new home, Woods said he will be a few minutes farther from golf, but he and his wife will have more privacy, and they will have frontage on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, a major appeal for both of them. Even for us right? Just close your eyes and imagine living in such superb atmosphere.
Well! I am sure there are more than enough articles documented about this supremo and need me no more to talk about them. But I just like the way he said of himself.. notable I guess...
--------------------------------
Twice during his professional career, deciding that the best golf swing in the world was no longer good enough for him and undertaking a renovation. In each case, the changes led to a lengthy period during which he won no tournaments at all, as he worked to make the new motions automatic. When asked why he hadn't been scared to tamper with success.
"I have a big-picture outlook," he said. "I am willing to fall, and I understand that it's OK to fall, but I am going to get back up. I may take a step back, but in the end I am going to take a giant leap forward."
"You have to come to grips with it, truly deep down," Woods said. "If you don't, if you second-guess yourself, you are not going to have the success that you want. You may have to put up with a lot of questioning from others, who don't quite understand—but, quite frankly, they don't have to understand, because it all comes from within. That's what it is for me, anyway: a belief that, in the end, I will be a better player.

Though I don't have the chance yet to see any shows featuring her, I really think that she got what it takes to be a model.
Well I post it for Myanmar People abroad who lost touch on everything Myanmar and as well as for friends who got no glue how Myanmar girls are like.
I have seen a few photos of models and think she is one of the topmost beauties I can say. She maintain her figure well till to date or maybe she is just photogenic. As you might notice most of the girls started off fresh, sexy then become movie stars. The more successful they are the more chubbier( fatter if say bluntly) they become. No more maintenance. She is just superb. Well I am not complaining. Just wish she could travel far to a much more rewarding models play-grounds like Bangkok,Singapore and Hong Kong and be successful regionally then internationally.
You may say she lacks some star qualities behind regional super models? Well there is always a place for someone different and fresh for the scene I think.
