Hen’s trip turned boot camp.
When Ling Er first asked me to join the all-women trip she was planning as part of her pre-wedding activities, she mentioned “beach, sun, sand, bikini, pool, massage, chill.” It was scheduled right after our Ironman 70.3 Danang race, so I was definitely up for it. But after the “Incredible T-Rex Trip” group chat was […]
Ironman 70.3 Vietnam 2017: I couldn’t beat the heat at Danang.
It was so bloody hot at Danang – like 40 degrees Celsius – and I bonked on the run. I knew the Ironman 70.3 Vietnam was going to be hot, but I wasn’t prepared for this intensity. Arriving three days before race day, the weather was actually slightly overcast with cloudy skies and I was […]
Race number 2.
I’m sitting here at my computer, trying to finish up as much work as I can before I leave for Danang tomorrow. Yes, it is time for my second Ironman 70.3 race. I know right – it felt like I just did my maiden half-Ironman race not too long ago, but no man, it’s been five […]
Metasprint Duathlon 2017: The pain is real.
I ran-biked-ran my heart out today at the MetaSprint Duathlon and managed to clinch the last spot on the podium for the 30-34 age group. Yay yay yay!!! The race format is a 3km run, followed by an 18km cycle and then another 3km run. I’ve always enjoyed duathlons because swimming is my weakness (which […]
Staying driven.
There was a lot of hype (largely due to novelty) leading up to my first Ironman 70.3 race last November, because it was a bold leap of faith I took to help me out of the shithole I was in. It certainly changed my life forever. I’m sitting in this cosy studio apartment in Phuket now as I write this, […]
#RTNTturns1
My heart is brimming, overflowing with so much love. On 16 February 2017, 100 over of us gathered to celebrate the 1st Anniversary of Rock The Naked Truth (RTNT). (The original anniversary date is 9 January 2016, but we had a belated celebration.) This is a very important milestone to me, on this journey of self-love […]
The real truths about triathlons.
There are so many things to consider before you embark on the journey of triathlons, including choosing your races, setting goals, getting the gear and coming up with a training programme. After dabbling in this multisport for a year, I think these are the things you really need to know so you are aware of […]
BlanX White Shock
You’ve got your hair, nails and facial done; you’re got your new clothes and shoes ready – what about your teeth? There’s a lot of smiling and greeting to be done, which means you will be flashing that set of pearlies frequently, so this BlanX White Shock kit came in time for Chinese New Year. […]
Black is the new modern.
Nothing fits better than a tailor-made cheongsam customised to your measurements and of your own design – and that’s what I did with STITCHED for CNY 2017, which is coming up at the end of this month. They can tailor almost anything, from shirts to dresses and gowns. Do you have a design you are […]
#BestOf2016
The year started off just as I expected, with the launch of Rock The Naked Truth, a man I thought I could trust for life and a newfound interest in the sport of triathlons. Then life decided it had other plans for me. I was hurled to the ground when the rship soured abruptly, as […]
