"Ideal body" หรือบอดี้ในอุดมคติสำหรับคุณ คือแบบไหนครับ? ผมเชื่อว่าเราแต่ละคนมี ideal body ที่แตกต่างกัน ถ้าเป็นเมื่อก่อนที่ผมจริงจังกับการฟิตหุ่นกว่านี้ และอาจเรียกได้ว่า "เป๊ะ" กว่าตอนนี้ ผมคงจะวิจารณ์ตัวผมตอนนี้ว่า แบบนี้ยังไม่ได้นะ กล้ามแต่ละส่วนต้องชัดกว่านี้ body fat percentage ต้องต่ำลงกว่านี้ให้เท่าพวกนักกีฬาระดับ elite ซิกแพคก็ต้องแน่นกว่านี้ให้เห็นเส้นตัดขอบทุกเส้น ถึงจะพอใจกับหุ่นตัวเองได้ เมื่อก่อนผมสร้างเงื่อนไขไว้กับตัวเองเยอะมาก

แต่เอาจริงๆ บอดี้เลเวลนั้น มันเป็น ideal body แบบที่ทำให้ sustainable ตลอดได้ยาก มีหลายคนที่เค้าทำได้นะ ไม่ใช่เป็นไปไม่ได้ แต่ทุกอย่างในชีวิตต้องมี sacrifices แลกมาบ้าง แล้วแต่ธรรมชาติและข้อจำกัดที่แตกต่างกันของแต่ละคน สำหรับตัวผมเอง ถ้าจะคงสภาพหุ่นให้ฟิตและชัดมากขนาดนั้นได้ตลอด ผมคงต้องแบ่งเวลากลับไปทุ่มเทให้กับการออกกำลังกายเยอะกว่านี้ หรือไม่ก็อาจต้องเริ่มพิจารณาเรื่องการคุมอาหารด้วย (ซึ่งอย่างหลังนี่ขอบายได้เลย ข้ารักการกิน ข้าอยากจะมีความสุขกับการกินได้ตลอด ไม่ว่าจะเป็นไอติมชาเขียว ชีสเค้ก ซูชิ สเต๊กเนื้อนุ่มๆ เบอร์เกอร์ชิ้นหนาๆ อย่ามาห้ามกันเลย เนี่ยพูดแล้วก็หิว!! 555)

ยิ่งโตขึ้น เหมือนสิ่งต่างๆ ในชีวิตมันค่อยๆ เขย่าเราให้เข้าหาจุดที่พอดีกับตัวเราเองมากขึ้นๆ ความหมายของ "ideal body" สำหรับเรามันก็ค่อยๆ เปลี่ยนไป ได้เรียนรู้แล้วว่ามีเรื่องอื่นที่สำคัญสำหรับเรา มากกว่าการต้องปั้นหุ่นให้ดู "เป๊ะ" ทุกส่วนตลอดเวลา เดี๋ยวนี้กลายเป็นรู้สึกว่า กล้ามไม่ต้องคมชัดทุกมัดทุกเส้นหรอก หรือบางช่วงอาจจะชัดมากชัดน้อยต่างกันก็ไม่เป็นไร ขอใช้ชีวิตให้มีความสุขในหลายๆ ด้านแบบนี้ดีกว่า มีบอดี้ที่ไม่ต้องเป๊ะในสายตาทุกคน แต่เป๊ะกับ lifestyle ที่เราอยากมี

บอดี้นี้คือบอดี้แบบอยากกินไอติมเมื่อไรก็กินได้ อยากเอนจอยของอร่อยๆ กับเพื่อนหรือครอบครัวเมื่อไรก็ทำได้ บอดี้แบบออกกำลังกายไม่ต้องเอาเป็นเอาตาย ไม่ต้องเล่นหนักทุกวัน วันไหนได้แค่ครึ่ง ชม ก็โอเค เน้นทำให้ได้ต่อเนื่อง แค่ให้เรามีสุขภาพที่ดีอยู่เสมอก็พอ บอดี้แบบถ้าต้องถอดเสื้อเมื่อไรก็อาจจะพอแค่ยั่วเบาๆ ขำๆ ได้บ้าง ไม่ต้องร้อนแรงขนาดคนต้องแห่มาชื่นชมหรือมากระทืบไลค์ให้ 555 บอดี้แบบที่เราสามารถแบ่งพลังและเวลาไปโฟกัสกับสิ่งสำคัญอื่นๆ และมีความสุขกับกิจกรรมอื่นๆ ในชีวิตได้ด้วย

บันทึกกับตัวเองไว้ ณ วันนี้ว่า ในวัย 38 กว่าๆ ที่เข้าใจชีวิตตัวเองประมาณนี้ บอดี้แบบนี้แหละคือ "ideal body" แบบที่เราแฮปปี้ 🙂

What's your definition of an "ideal body"? I think everyone has a different idea about what their "ideal body" should look like. I used to train much harder and had a so-called "fitter" body. My younger self would probably criticize my current body harshly, pointing out that the muscles should be more defined, the fat percentage should be as low as that of elite athletes, and the abs should be more cut to the point where you could see all the lines very clearly. Only then would I be able to feel satisfied with myself. So many conditions!

But honestly, it's really hard to maintain that kind of super cut "ideal body" all the time. The level of sustainability probably differs from person to person, depending on the lifestyle. Yes, there are people who could maintain it, but there are also sacrifices you'd need to make. Either you gotta put so much effort into your workouts continuously or start controlling your diet strictly (The latter of which I refuse to do since I love eating so much and would rather continue to enjoy all the matcha ice-cream, cheesecake, sushi, steak, and burgers for the rest of my life, so don't anyone try to tell me what not to eat! lol).

The older you get, the more life seems to sway you towards the kind of lifestyle that fits more with your priorities, also changing your perception of what an "ideal body" is. I've learned that, for me, there're more important things in life than sculpting and maintaining a so-called "perfect" body all the time. Now I don't feel the need to always have super defined muscles like I used to. They can be more or less defined from time to time, and it's ok, because I'd rather have a body like this and still be able to enjoy the various wonderful pleasures in life that I'm currently enjoying. I don't need my body to be "perfect" in the eyes of others--I just need it to be perfect for the kind of lifestyle that I want.

This is the "I can eat ice cream whenever I want" kind of body, the "I can go out and enjoy great meals with friends and family whenever I feel like it" kind of body. The kind of body that isn't trained super hard everyday but exercised regularly enough to feel healthy. The kind of body that could maybe just excite a few eyes when shirtless but needs not be so hot to the point where anyone should come rushing to praise me lol. The kind of body that allows me to also focus my time and energy on my other interests in life and experience the joy of doing many other things that I love.

As a note to myself at the age of 38, with my current level of understanding of my own life, this is the kind of "ideal body" that I'm happy with. :)

Good service can really make a person’s day, don’t you agree? That feeling of connecting to another human being and having someone help you solve a problem with their knowledge and expertise is quite something. It is wonderful to see good service being recognised by #SingaporeTourismAwards which celebrates the best in the tourism sector.

Spent some time with the recipient of the STA Customer Service Excellence Award, Juvy from Marina Bay Sands, and it was so invigorating just listening to her share about her passion for hospitality and wow, she does it with so much heart!
.
.
So, this is the story she shared; there was a seaman who was desperately looking for a Western Union bank to send money back to his mother because there was an emergency back home, but he only had an hour to do it before his ship left. It was a very busy day, the taxi queue was crazy long, so she told him that maybe he’d have to take the MRT. But as luck would have it, the queue to get a temporary card was also very long.
.
.
Without a second thought, she told him to give her a minute, she ran to her office, got her EZ-Link card which had her transport allowance for the month, and passed it to him!!! This was at a time where she was sending 3/4 of her paycheck to her family as well, which meant she had 1/4 of it left for all her living expenses and in that card was her entire transport allowance. She passed him the card and said, "If you can’t come back, it is ok, just make sure you send the money on time". She walked him all the way to the train, gave him directions to the Western Union bank in Chinatown and sent him on his way.
.
.
She spoke about how her brother was a seaman and he would send money back every time they docked. How when she was younger, whenever they had visitors at the house, her parents taught her to serve the best to the guests, and it is incredible that she extends this hospitality, passion and care to her everyday work. Three words she repeated many times and she lives by; passion, patience and empathy.

Congratulations, Juvy, and thanks for letting me spend the day with you! ♥️

Best thing I did for myself in 2018 besides quit my job: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Field Assembly Training Facility. ❤︎ I’ve been waxing lyrical about this so much to everyone I meet, I should stop before it gets annoying––probably already is––so I’ll put it all in a couple posts and stfu irl hahaha

So here goes 👉🏽

I’m only so mind-blown about this because... being a slob has always been a big part of my identity. I hate working out. I hate running. I hate doing reps of anything. For 8 whole years I could never bring myself to exercise proper. I rolled my eyes at #fitspo gym rats and their #fitstagram bullshit. 😷

Work made me stress-eat. I ballooned in those years; most of my wardrobe grew irrelevant. I tried evening jogs, swimming, weird classes... but nothing lasted. I brought salad lunches to work, cut carbs, everything. Nothing worked. I was grumpy / hangry all the time.

So… when Elias first suggested BJJ I laughed in his face. The idea of getting my ass routinely whooped by fit people was the furthest thing from enjoyment I could fathom.

But Nurudin wanted to go. So I gave it a shot, last December. Then one sad day at Basketball (another thing I’m really pleased has lasted), I tore my MCL just as 2017 ended. Was out of action for ages. It wasn’t until July this year that I picked up BJJ proper… and man. It’s been such a euphoric ride. 🌸

The thing is, every moment is so intellectually engaging you don’t even notice you're exercising. They call it human chess because it’s an elaborate puzzle –– less about brute force and more about clever use of angles, leverage, strategy, problem solving. You get so caught up figuring shit out, you completely forget that you’re exhausted. Every little muscle on your person is going into overdrive, but you're too busy analysing the physics of everything in your head. Then, after awhile… your body starts being able to do these wild, miraculous things you never thought it could do.

I don’t even need to motivate myself to work out anymore. It’s so addictive I spend whole days looking forward to training. We’ve started to go 3, 4, even 5 times a week. It’s just stupidly bizarre that a potato like me could crave exercise, and so intensely. And for those few hours, everything––crippling self-doubt, existential crises, creative ruts / blocks, ennui, restlessness––fades away. Your entire mind and body focuses on just one thing. And by the end, such a visceral joy.

At the bottom of it all, it’s just really empowering to know that, as a tiny chick 🐧, I can use wit against strength and actually overcome much bigger guys. (Well… occasionally. On a good day la hahaha.) But, still –– as a fumbling flailing white belt I can barely believe it, each time. I still suck and it’s rare, but so rewarding.

So... here I am!!! All of a sudden I can fit into old jeans from 2008. I haven't been pinching flabs in the mirror, stepping on the scale everyday like I used to... It just sort of happened. Din, too, dropped 9 pant-sizes without even noticing within 4-5 months. NINE 👖 Honestly, I feel like anyone and everyone can and should try #BJJ at least once. Anthony Bourdain started at age 59 and became obsessed.

Guys and girls of all shapes and sizes train at Field Assembly Training Facility, where Gene and Elias have created a safe space totally free of judgement and pressure. 🙌🏽 Everybody learns at their own pace so it's as chill or challenging as you want it to be! Our coaches Harold Ko Royal Chang Tan Xing Hua are mad knowledgeable and detailed but also damn full of shit hahaha so classes are super fun 💯 –– filled with laughter and great company and brain games. The actual workout is *so* secondary, I barely even notice I'm gassed out or sweating buckets.

To anybody out there with a #2019 #health-ish resolution –– come join me!!! You get to do a free trial as my buddy with no strings attached, so you are free to ditch it if you hate it. Fo real. x

(Ok my royal ramble is done! Sry I laid it on so thick, I'm just... very... expressive. And a bit extra)
