Little Luke "Skywalker"

PD Trip - The Other Pool

We had a good night sleep after all the beach walking and swimming throughout the whole evening. Since our room was furnished with two single beds, we had to merge them together so that Little Skywalker doesn't fall off the bed while doing his 360 degrees turn in his sleep. The air conditioning was extremely efficient throughout the entire suite. We had to put on thick blankets all through the night. (Little Skywalker even had to move into the closet to escape the winter attack!)

The first activity we did when we woke up was head down to the games room. It is located at the ground floor next to the gym. We wanted to go in after dinner the night before but it was already closed (the caretaker decided that he wanted to leave 30 minutes earlier). The pool table was of particular interest to me (and Little Skywalker). It cost RM2 per game, which was RM1 cheaper than the place I normally played (at the basement of that Grand Season Hotel which served bad food to a mouth picky blogger I know).

The kakak (or she preferred to be called nenek since she is already had 2 grandchildren) who is taking care of the games room liked Little Skywalker very much. She even carried him and sit in front of an arcade machine. She handled our son very well and taught him how to play on the arcade without putting in coins. They spend some time together with J watching by the side, while I concentrated on the pool table.

After 15 minutes of "playing with myself", there was only the black eight ball left on the table. I carried Little Skywalker and put him on the table. Then I taught him to play pool by pushing the last ball down the pocket. Below is a step-by-step illustration on teaching a one year old to play pool. Maybe you should teach your babies, but don't get them addicted, as it is a costly game :P

Step 1: Height check, unless your one year old is 4-5 feet tall, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Sit him on the table, align the ball nicely, take aim!

Step 3: Shoot, pull back, and wait for the impact!

Step 4: Make sure all the balls (screw the rules!) make the pocket!

Step 5: Raise the cue stick, look at the camera and say "Jedi Rules!"


Or, you could just...
