Tonight I had to decline a Skype call with my boyfriend. It was gut wrenching because we keep only just missing each other for most of the time I have been back. Today was one of those exhausting days which have rendered me useless without a keyboard. It’s hard to imagine being sad in paradise […]
After an early round knockout in fight 2, I was incredibly eager to squeeze in one more fight before travelling home to get my visa. Perhaps eager is an understatement… I was asking Sing (the owner of Sinbi) for another fight before they had the chance to take off my gloves! Initially I was matched […]
Preparation for the second fight of the year was much tougher than usual. Unfortunately I was sick with a stomach bug and searing migraines for the entirety of my fight prep which means I did not get the most out of my training. It was unfortunate but I wasn’t sick enough to stop training or withdraw […]
Ordinarily, I don’t like to celebrate birthdays. Long story short, I have had multiple years in a row of disastrous events occuring on, or during my birthday celebrations, so I waved the white flag and gave up. This year is totally out of the ordinary though, so I decided that this was the year to start […]

A lot of these little pearls are very useful and inspiring, but then again, some of these little pearls make you want to slap the person passing on said wisdom. Here are some of my favourites thus far. Everybody is tired. […]
First fight done and dusted and it’s strange to say, that the whole experience was a bit surreal. In the week leading up to this fight, everyone around the gym kept asking me how I was feeling about the fight… Nervous? Excited? Afraid? It was a strange sensation that I was neither… The only thing […]
For the first 3 months of this trip, I am living in one of the private rooms at the gym. Sinbi offers a few different types of rooms ranging from dorm room style to private rooms. Each room is equipped with a full size fridge, AC, television, DVD player, full size wardrobe, coffee table, safe, […]
If not anything else, I have learnt that the first 2 weeks here is always the toughest. Training is long, and so are the days. The heat, the humidity, the running (oh, the running!) , the restless nights and the home sickness sets in. The first 2 weeks here are always tough, and rest day […]
This week has been crazy. Trying to settle in… buying a bike… finding a device to cook on… trying to climatise myself… and get back into the shape after the holiday season. The option to buy a bike was a simple one… the cost of renting a bike in Phuket verses buying a bike… it’s […]
What to say about goodbyes. The glaringly obvious thing. They suck. Saying goodbye to people you love sucks. Also, my two beautiful furry babies. What will I do without the two of you. Who will cuddle me at night!!! Everything still seems as though I am going on a longish holiday. The feelings of reality […]
