I've been called a coward quite a few times in my life.

None of those fools were at my fight.

To those you came down to watch my fight.
.
I can't thank you enough for taking the time to watch me walk through the finish line in this quest of mine.
.
I didn't get to take pictures with @sebastian.lim, Adeline, @ambergoldgirl, @thombj, Johji, @jfzarn, @everafter_music and @ryanhuang.sg. My fight was very late and I know it was hard for you guys to stand around for 3 hours..... especially the ladies in heels.
.
Although I did get to catch up with @denis_miney_mo, @vanessa_souidaray, Mathieu, Grace, @nadhirahk, @aldenpeh, @888hengonghuat, @instabc91and Sharon
.
Last but not least to my wife @travelergweneats who was an amazing pillar of support throughout my journey and one of the main reasons why I kept standing in the ring not wanting to be counted out. I wish I had a chance to give a victory speech .....I really wanted the room to applaud all the spouses / partners of fighters in the room.

Thank you notes - This bunch of crazy guys! What you don't see leading up to a fight.
.
Top right - Alvin Tan, my best man and constant mental check ins with me throughout fight camp!
.
Bottom right - Coach Nic, I have taken everything from him during hard sparring.. concussion, whiplash, nose bleed, jaw pain, black eye. If you watched my fight now you know why I could still stand.
.
Bottom left - Mark Huber, my other sparring partner. Really made my feet work, showed me to go for the body more.
.
Not in photo, my fight manager @ivanlimchongjoo Also not forgetting, my other mental coach @nicholasfangsg and @tjw_box for the extra coaching.
.
It takes a village to train a fighter. What a thrill! Love you guys!

It's been an intense 3 months. Tomorrow 24 Nov is #fightnight
.
We started in Coach Nic's living room slowly getting the basics right and then 12 weeks out to fight night we intensified the sessions training up to 6 times a week, 3 to 4 hours each time. Then we added gym sessions with @ivanlimchongjoo
.
The hardest part of this journey were the mental challenges. Knowing my opponent is younger, fitter, faster while I have to wake up at 4am, anchor a morning show, go home, take a quick nap and then train the rest of the day. Life issues were always in the way....that's normal, that's life. Wow.....I did that for 3 months with these guys. And I'm grateful to so many others giving me encouragement along the way.
.
Today I made weight at about 74kg, which means I've lost 10kg for this fight. It's always been about the journey....not winning or losing but conquering for myself. I feel I've won in life after my weigh in.
.
The hard work is done......tomorrow, we have fun!

Less than a week to fight night! Getting guidance

Less than a week to fight night! Getting guidance in mental prep for competition today by former national fencer @nicholasfangsg
.
The mental aspect is something we should never neglect. Even though today's lesson was for competition, I sincerely believe much of what he thought me can be used in many aspects of life. What a privilege to be able to hear about your challenges and how you overcame them. Thanks for being in my corner bro!
.
The matching outfits were not planned....LOL

I'm actually a little starstruck today to be able to spend time in the ring with @tjw_box over at @legendsfightsport
.
Although I was super nervous to be sparring with someone I admire who's represented #singapore on so many occasions. My coach Nick would always say even on your bad days there are valuable lessons. And I did take away many valuable lessons today.
.
Thank you for giving me the honour to face you @tjwboxingfitness and for imparting some of your knowledge to me.
.
Less than 2 weeks to #fightnight and I'm grateful to God for the people he's sent to help me conquer this mental and physical challenge. I will introduce you to them in time.

Grateful to be back in the @onefm913 studio this morning and interviewed by #TheBIGShow about my upcoming fight at @theringwhitecollarboxingshow on 24 Nov.

It was such a treat to see @glennn @thefdsg and @angeliqueteo at work. Wow they are so slick! And what a brilliant producer they have in @shalinisusan97 who kindly took the pics as well. Only missing @shaun_tupaz who's on holiday.
