#RoadtoIM703Bintan2017 – some race prep stuff and taper symptoms
In just two days, I will be in Bintan (an island of Indonesia that is just 45 minutes away from Singapore by ferry) for my second Ironman 70.3 race this year. The past three months have gone by in a blur – with training (I went to Phuket for 2 weeks and was hospitalised when I returned), exciting work […]
Reaching out to youths
I’ve given talks to youths before – for two years I gave talks for Singapore GP on Formula 1 to secondary schools, and I’ve also visited schools to give career talks on stepping it out on your own to pursue your passion. Lately, I’ve been giving talks to youths for a more meaningful purpose – […]
11 funny anecdotes on 2 wheels
I’ve been cycling for over a year now (since I bought my Tough Princess roadie last April) and I’ve encountered some really amusing incidents, including the one where I ran over a chicken in Phuket. I don’t think the rooster died (phew) and my friends had a good laugh over it. Who the heck runs over […]

Forced to rest.
I was feeling good after completing a pretty epic two-week training camp with Z-Coaching in Phuket and was ready to continue the high back home. I even planned to title my post-camp blog post “Why do I keep training?” because people were asking me why I am investing so much time, effort and money into training […]
#drinkELO
The weather in Singapore is getting hotter these days, which means it is even more important to drink enough fluids and keep your body functioning well. With my pretty high activity levels from all the Ironman 70.3 training (of swimming, cycling and running) I’m doing, it’s important to stay hydrated all the time, even when […]
Grab x Tinder
So, I was part of a recent Grab x Tinder activation, which you most probably would know about if you are a Grab user. How the campaign works: For one day only between 11am to 4pm on Friday (19 May), you could log into the Grab app and click on the Grab x Tinder tab to […]
My speech for Ling’s wedding (the full version)
When Ling asked me if I would like to give a speech at her wedding, I was absolutely thrilled and I said yes in a heartbeat. And then I realised it’s because she needed a female speaker, since Andrew was representing the male audience. Still, I know she secretly loves me. A lot. So, I will […]
My GrabHitch stories
I drive around a lot for work and training – spending about an average of 3 hours a day behind the wheel – and I recently found a way to make some allowance and cover petrol costs. It’s called GrabHitch. GrabHitch is a social carpooling service where regular drivers like you and me can give others […]
