...it was high time I get back into shape, my right knee decides to screw up my plans. A futsal tourney in 6 weeks time and a golf tourney in 3 months, but its looking like I'll be missing them both. What a shame, I was really looking forward to some competition, the type I thrive on. I don't know where I'll be even in the next 6 months, so for those who think "there's always next year", you may want to think again. Sigh, I hope the injury's not as serious as it seems; perhaps all I need is a week of good rest.
Its was more than two months since my last golf game, but it was certainly one of my better rounds in a long time. The heat was stifling, but I managed to play 15 holes of decent golf. On the last 3 holes, I was just trying to finish the game, and to avoid a sunstroke. Yes, it was the kind of heat that'll kill you. Besides a good round, I also managed to get an excellent tan, a tan on top of the natural one I already have.
I've actually missed golfing. Growing up, I had ample time to golf and do all the things I enjoyed. On many occasions, playing 9-holes after a long day at school was therapeutic. But these days, finding the time for a round is as rare as getting a good night's sleep. And when I do have the option of sleeping in over golf, chances are I'll take the former. Having free time or even alone time is a rarity nowadays, so the idea of playing a round of golf which would probably take 6 hours (from the time I leave, play my round and return home) remains an idea.
Having said that, its saddening how we're always tied-up with work, events, weddings, gatherings, etc that we hardly spend time on the things we used to love and enjoy growing up. For me, it has always been golf and sports in general. Now, I get most satisfaction in a good meal. How times have changed!
However, every time I look in the mirror, I'm reminded of why I should revert back to my healthy ways and leave the food-induced satisfaction at bay.
...and little did I know I wouldn't have any time to write at all.
30 is coming thick and fast and I see excerpts of my life flashing before me, reminding me of my shortcomings and the person I could/should have become. But 30 isn't too bad right? Its not the end of the world, however, I do wish I could turn back the clock back. Yeah, hindsight is a two-edged sword.
I've been on a 5 month hiatus but I don't have much to say. Looks like this 30-thing is hitting me harder than I ever had imagined.
