Plant delivery
  • Aglaonema blooming and…
  • … dying in dramatic fashion.
  • Triostar that’s no more
  • Pepperomia that’s at the salon.
  • Coleus that died several times and is still around.
  • Wandering Jew that flourished.

Took stock of the plants before sending some off to the salon.

Taphae Road, Chiangmai, Thailand #nogodnokingonlyh Taphae Road, Chiangmai, Thailand #nogodnokingonlyhuman #streetart #thailand #chiangmai There is a gorgeous photo book with the same title, about the protests in Bangkok. Search for it. Great photos in there.
Celebrating #valentinesday together since 1997. 😍

Easy hike up #watphalat with @jimmymanic last week Easy hike up #watphalat with @jimmymanic last weekend. Loving #chiangmai so far. 😎 #chiangmaihiking #chiangmaithailand
This was the highlight of 2022. My Dad started wal This was the highlight of 2022. My Dad started walking at the end of last year, after preferring a wheelchair for over a decade. He even started "jogging*" 😱😮😊, which is kinda crazy, and also lost a little weight. I'm really proud of his progress. 
But even more impressive than his progress, was how hardworking, motivated and persistent he was during this exercise, just like his young self. 😎
Thanks @mastersaumik for all your help, guidance and expertise. He couldn't have done it without you.
What is this skill called? — minus the coach hol What is this skill called? — minus the coach holding my hand and me putting my hand on the floor 😂😂😂 Mucking around with a new skill because the #sideaerial training was killing me. This coach is brutal. He says, "It's very easy! It's a Level 1 skill." #adultgymnastics #normalizeadultgymnastics #normaliseadultgymnastics #adultgymnastsunite #adultgymnasticsclass #latebeginner #namethatskill
Another city, another attempt at the #sideaerial Another city, another attempt at the 
#sideaerial which this coach calls the #arabian Who knew that getting the middle splits would feel easy compared to this? I haven't given up but I don't think I'm going to prioritise it to the extent that it keeps me in one place training with one coach. It'll have to be become a nomadic skill and be okay with whoever the coach is when I travel. #adultgymnastics #latebeginner #chiangmai #chiangmailife #forwardmotion #bringiton

Thanks @kemjoey. It's been so long since I've done Thanks @kemjoey. It's been so long since I've done any form of yoga. This is also my first week back at calisthenic to an unsurprisingly pathetic rep count but a surprisingly cheerful reaction (my own). 😊 Been busy poking my nose into other people's lives. After my Dad, my next "project" was PSLE prep for an athletically gifted boy (read: not-too-crazy about studying). My own stuff continue to require sorting and editing. So it's not like I've been sitting around twiddling my thumbs. I'm starting to come to terms, even appreciate, for now, the fact that the only consistent thing about me is my inconsistency. It's like a poor person saying they don't like money. 😂 #backbend #backbending #yogaeveryonceinawhile #scorpionpose #sgyogini #sgyoga
Oh Amsterdam! What can I say? Life's too short? Ea Oh Amsterdam! What can I say? Life's too short? Eat that brownie, lick that cone, vape that Cola(!), kidnap that puppy, workouts can wait? Loved my stay @bunkhotels, such a beautiful space. And had the best time of my life cycling around the city on a Gazelle on @bobanjamesphotographer recommendation. Many thanks to @adechong for organising such good clean 😉activities, and @angiwen et al for being such good company. I don't have everyone's handles, but I liked everyone (for a change, hehe) What a blast!
