Operation Broken Wing 2015
Working out for a good cause – that’s something I will never say no to. Cue Operation Broken Wing (OBW). OBW is an event for CrossFitters to come together as a community and raise funds for youths at risk. This year, with REACH Community Services as the beneficiary, OBW will be held at a public venue, […]
My first CrossFit competition – X45 Challenge
Ego-crushing. This is the best word to sum up my virgin CrossFit competition. And I will tell you why. Ask me one year ago and I wouldn’t have thought I would be in CrossFit, let alone be competing in it. But never say never and I was at the X45 Challenge on 22 and 23 […]
[FITFIND] Harold Ko
HAROLD! I honestly didn’t expect that he would agree to do this. I was to shoot him back in 2013 but he kept pushing so I thought he wasn’t keen. He was in boxing and Muay Thai previously, but finally found his path in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ). Also, he tore his retina in boxing before, so […]
A peek into the Mailbox
What kind of mail do I receive from followers? There are the usual encouragement comments that hearten me, and thankfully I don’t get hate mail, but I do get a lot of requests. It’s a good thing – it means they see me as a reliable automotive directory source perhaps, but the bad thing is […]
[FITSPO] Gillian Tay (Jilly)
If you have met Jilly – as she is often referred to – before, you would love her outspoken personality. She’s a lovely soul and never afraid to voice her opinion, and I had a lot of fun interviewing her. I first knew her when she was on Chicks vs. Dicks with Paul Twohill on […]
[FITFIND] Brothers Jason & Edric Lim
When I look at Jason and Edric, I cannot help feeling a pang of envy and wishing that my sister is as passionate as I am about fitness. Both of them not only work in the same sports service company that they started up, they also try to hit the gym together. Growing up, they […]
[FITSPO] Cassandra Lee
Cassandra used to be plump during her teenhoood and it got to a point where her mum commented that she needed to do something about it. It was that mere comment which got her started in exercise, but school and work came into force, Cassandra allowed herself to seep into the rat race and sink into a sedentary lifestyle. She wasn’t […]
Spartan Race hits Singapore
I’ve been watching the Spartan Race on television and I’ve always harboured a thought of flying out to take part in it one day. Now I don’t have to, because it is coming to Singapore on 15 November 2015. You probably heard about Spartan Race Singapore by now and I’ve signed up for it – […]
Goodbye Lancer, Hello Golf
And just like that, I’ve let go of my pink Mitsubishi Lancer GLX. “She has watched me grow up over the last 10 years, seeing me cry over broken hearts, squeal in joy, scream in anger. From a freshman in university to the working adult that’s turning 30, she has seen it all. She has also […]
[FITFIND] National swimmer Danny Yeo
National swimmer Danny Yeo was quite shy when he had to strip down to his trunks in front of three ladies – me and two other PR ladies. The photos turned out fine eventually (tho’ he was still a tad awkward), but I’ll take it. With such an intense training schedule as a national athlete, are […]
