I turned 40 this year and at the start I set out t I turned 40 this year and at the start I set out to push myself to make it a big year for myself. I must admit, maybe I pushed too hard and I'm feeling a little worn out now.
.
Still, I'm grateful to be able to achieve 3 big things this year. Getting my degree after so long, training and fighting in a boxing match and most importantly finally going for our honeymoon after a 2 year delay.
.
2022 may not have been perfect for the world but as the year ends, celebrate your personal bests no matter how big or small and may 2023 be a fantastic and positive one for you!

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.

It's been an intense 3 months. Tomorrow 24 Nov is 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
