Dear members and fellows,

14 months have passed since I took off the hat of the president. Life became easier in the council with thecontribution from the energetic and enthusiastic new blood. Here I would like to thank all members andfellows again for your support so that I did have peaceful and enjoyable 24 months during my presidency.

Serving for the association helped to widen my vision in our profession. I also learned a lot about howoutside professionals viewed the role and position of Hong Kong in modern Asia. In various symposiumsand workshops during the different annual meetings in different countries, a wide range of topics werecovered. It included clinical skills, training system and curriculum for young surgeons, orthopaedictechnology, use of IT development in our service and even economy in orthopaedic care.

Since 2013, I was exempted from tightly packed clinical conferences and my wife had no more complaint. Idid spent more time and energy to beautify our empty nest. Two absolutely relaxation tours werecompleted including our wedding anniversary trip to Seoul attended Kimchi cooking class in local nationalcostume.

Unfortunately my physical strain also downtuned and I fell more frequently asleep at English PremierLeague live match. Words looked less clear on book or computer screen and I was forced to withdraw fromour annual golf day at Fanling after registered and paid due to illness. Time to have more exercise!

In 2014 Autumn, there will be the APOA congress in Pattaya which is a large meeting just second to COA2014. There will be many opportunities for interaction and knowledge exchange. The events were mostwelcomed by surgeons who prefer no jetlag though only few mileage can be gained.
