Singapore’s popular fitness influencers (female) on Instagram
I thought I would just do up a list of the popular (female) fitness influencers in Singapore – well, those that I am familiar with. Listed according to their reach on Instagram (of more than ~10,000), I defined ‘fitness influencer’ as someone who has about 50% of their posts related to fitness. If I’ve missed out […]
The Tinder experience.
I was leading the happy single and independent life, but one day I couldn’t help thinking if there was a problem with me and why no one was asking me out (just an innocent random thought). I concluded that I just wasn’t meeting the right people. The guys around me are either married, dating, not interested in […]
You will love again.
Someone told me this last year, when I was at my low point and broken and skeptical about love – that I would love again. After a breakup, you go through this emo-nana heartbroken phrase where you feel like you’re never gonna love again, you question if you will ever find another man who will […]
Realigning.
The blinding headlights were flashing, the horn was blaring into the moist air of the post-rain dawn and I could hear the brakes screeching (jarringly) as if they were desperately clawing deep into the tarmac to find grip in the wet. My heart was in my throat – the container truck was headed straight for […]
Queen Bitch I.
It breaks my heart to say this, but Queen Bitch I (the first) has to go into early retirement due to some unfortunate circumstances. (inserts many broken heart emoticons) You know how much Queen Bitch I means to me – I got her sprayed in glitter pink (you can only see the glitter upclose) and I […]
Postcard from Hokkaido: Toyotomi, Nakagawa and Tokachidake
I’ve taken Tough Princess (my road bike) to quite a few countries in the past year and I’m really excited to be able to add Japan to the list! In Part 1 of my Postcard from Hokkaido series, I was in Rumoi and Wakkanai. In Part 2 here, I went to a few more places – […]
Postcard from Hokkaido: Rumoi and Wakkanai
When I heard Japan and cycling, it was enough to get me really excited!! I’ve always loved Japan and I’ve gone several times for both work and leisure, but while I’ve known Japan for its food (I absolutely love Japanese food!), sights, onsen and snowboarding, the thought of cycling there never occurred to me. Like, […]
OMGWTFNOWAYWHOAWHAT
That was how I would describe my Ironman 70.3 Bintan experience; simply because I cannot find any other word to describe it. It has been three weeks since and I’ve been to four different countries (Indonesia; Malaysia; Finland; Japan), so I’ve only managed to catch a breath properly now that I’m finally home. And over […]
Sparks Episode 7: Stand by Me
In the 7th episode of Sparks by DBS, an old client of Chester’s – played by Adrian Pang – runs into a serious family medical emergency. This opened an opportunity for Chester to share about this deep bond he has with his client, going back to an untold past of his. Mr and Mrs Lu […]
Ironman 70.3 Bintan 2017: My first IM 70.3 podium omg.
All of us women were gathering around the start line on the shore, waiting for the Women’s wave (it wasn’t a rolling start), and I felt like I wasn’t ready for this race. To be honest, the last few weeks leading up to the Ironman 70.3 Bintan 2017 were quite bad for me. I was feeling […]
