The Year That Was.....

Pakdokter received an email from a fellow golfer with his list of resolutions for the new year. How similar that list is to pakdokter's own for the year that was! Unfortunately pakdokter failed to achieve any of the main targeted objectives. Pakdokter's golf handicap, at its best in the middle of 2009, went down to 22, but crept up again to 25 by the end of the year. This task ( of improving and lowering the golf handicap) is not as easy as it seems ( at least, this is true for pakdokter). The picture below taken from the wall in the gents' loo at the Mission Hill Golf Resort in Shenzen, probably best explains pakdokter's predicament!

Pakdokter also failed to reduce pakdokter's weight and waist-line as planned. The good news is that at least these statisitcs stayed where they were as at the beginning of the year. Golf is definitley not an adequate tool in the 'battle of the bulge'. Pakdokter will have to include some workout in the gym this year.

The year that was, fortunately for pakdokter, had been blessed with good health. Scrolling through the blog revealed that pakdokter had actually made so many trips during the year. And the eating and drinking must have been a contributory factor to the failure to reduce the waist-line measurement.

Pakdokter will not add new and unrealsitic objectives for 2010. Suffice to say that the previous list will be maintained with perhaps one addition. Pakdokter would like to go back to re-learning to play the saxophone which pakdokter has put aside for so long. Hopefully this will add music to pakdokter's life this year.....
