What is it?

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

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. 😍

Today's finishing drill. It's finally getting slightly easier. #drillsmakeskills

Easy hike up #watphalat with @jimmymanic last weekend. Loving #chiangmai so far. 😎 #chiangmaihiking #chiangmaithailand

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 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

I downgraded from tuktuks to Grab bike. #Chiangmai was a blast. @jimmymanic and I had so much fun.

In the middle of a #newskill #frontlayout This has been a fun skill to learn but I hope it gets prettier. #adultgymnastics Side aerial continues to be a work-in-progress.

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!
