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!
The hero's path is paved with miracles: Several th The hero's path is paved with miracles: Several things needed to happen for this scene to occur. I had to know about @mastersaumik; I had to eventually trust him enough to ask him for help with my Dad; he had to agree; my Dad had to co-operate 🙄 The timing of Master's post about Ryan was also remarkable. I was in Centrepoint when Master started training Ryan and that video is such a far cry from what I remember of his first sessions. It pushed me to give it a shot. Whether or not it "works" becomes less important than the fact that I tried.
