From young, i have not been very interested in studying.. mainly due to the fact that teachers have always disliked me. Have been able to skim through sec school days without putting in much effort without realising how important the results are going to affect my life. It was plain play first and study later.
Had to continue on to waste another year at private o levels, and later on doing higher nitec in logistics and simei ite for another 2 years. Still, the youth in the brain always stopped me for putting in effort into schoolwork. Passing is all i wanted, nothing else.
Taken my diploma of logistics management at the age of 23, old but not too late.. Getting good results for all 6 modules, 3 B's and 3 A's.. the results from putting in effort.
This is my prove.. to people who look down on me, in the past and present. Many of those who have not taken me seriously or may judged or still judge me differently just because i have tattoos all over my body. Those who still thinks i am that hooligan which i used to be when i were young.
I have kind of achieve a little here and i have a proud family, a happy mum and happy brothers. I have a ever supportive and loving girlfriend who is there for me no matter what, i have friends that celebrates my achievements.
So for all the fuckers out there, im going to be so much more than you people in life. ..|.. ... :)
Degree is next..

LIVING it
Being a kid, I have always got into trouble. I even joined a gang because I liked fighting. I always wanted to be a champion. From young I have always wanted to learn muay thai and I picked up some moves from friends who are learning. I have never attended any gyms before due to my mum’s bad impression on muay thai. It has always appeared to be violent to her, and that the trainers will beat her kid up. After serving the country, I finally decided to join a gym. Luckily, Roy.. a friend of mine recommended that I join BXG as he was learning there. Things went smoothly as I joined the class and I soon found out almost everything I assumed was different. Punches, kicks, elbows, and knees are never perfect after watching 10 youtube videos on how to execute them. It was through practice and practice, drilling and drilling, doing it over and over again.
At this point of time I was also getting a full time job, and tasting the reality of this society. Without a proper certificate, my pay will be pathetic. At this point of time, I still chose to pursue what I wanted more first. I chose to work full time, but train and fight for a few times before I take a break and go into part time studies. Doing muay thai in Singapore isn’t easy. I was working a full-time office job and training at night to fight. It was tiring yet challenging, but the results was always worth it. I have been through 5 fights, 4 which I won and 1 which I lost. I remember them very clearly, first fight was with Ryan from hockey village at Baan Nak Muay, won on points. You know, people doesn’t see the effort you put in training for the fight itself. I have been thrown with very ugly comments on the fight, like “why your opponent so lousy (clearly pointing out that winning him doesn’t mean im good)“ or “I see you fight like very easy leh (pointing out that they could have done it as well). I trained harder for the second one, fighting Lee Jia Le from FWA at the old FWA location. I won on points. Yet again, I received some bad comments especially from people who have tried getting hit before wearing the gear like “pain meh? the protective gear like so thick”. Winning the first two fights spoilt my mood to train. I underestimated my opponent and lost my third to Hafiz Suphanahong at FWA new location. The fourth fight was with Muhammad suphanahong at FWA new location, this time at semi-pro. I won via decision and received one of the best after fight feedback ever from BXG owner Joe, he said “good fight ron, the judges said you will become a very good fighter”. At this point of time I took a short break from fighting and enrolled for my part time diploma for night study. After a few months into studying I accepted to fight under full thai rules under professional bout with Aloysius Suphanahong. Take note, at this point of time I was holding a full-time office job, a part time night class diploma course and training for a professional fight. I really put in a lot of effort. I won the fight at SCAPE under points. That is the latest fight I participated in, continuing my studies and training regularly at the moment.
Muay Thai in Singapore isn’t easy, it isn’t what everyone deem it to be, and the reality of this society had many people throwing the same question to me, “fight got money anot ah? HUH? No money you fight for what?“ “eh how much they pay you to fight? No money you fight and get injured you siao ah?“.. oh dear people, this is not about the money.. it is about the achievement in life. Do you want to work and study the whole life and realise that you have not lived, and that you have done nothing for your children to be proud of, and that all you can tell your grandchildren is about your job?” I mean, it is not just Muay Thai.. it can be anything. Marathon runner, Dragon boating, Photography, Travelling to exotic places, diving in some great sea out there. Live it people, live your dreams, do not look back at your life when you get old and find that you have done nothing but try to get yourself a promotion and to earn yourself a bigger car, there is more to it!
I would like to thank everyone, my girlfriend, my family members, my friends, my trainers, my gym and my gymmates. I myself, am going to keep achieving and living life to the fullest.

Came back from the phuket trip yesterday.
It was superb! Really enjoyable, but im sick now. haha.
The flying!
Day 1
The hotel was great! superb room and view, just that it doesn't have hot water! The view was great from the hotel, although there isn't any sea view, the balcony still served us well.
The motorbike ride!! was scary at first, not riding for a few years and suddenly riding was quite challenging, on a strange land and weird traffic.
We headed up to Big Buddha and Wat Chalong temple. Headed down to the range after that where all of us tried shooting pistols, this was the first time my girl ever tried firing a weapon, although she didn't really like it. Guess she should have fired the SHOTGUN. HAHA. After that we went for a swim in the hotel. the pool is great! although not big. =)
Headed out for dinner at hard rock cafe, had a great dinner there although it was quite expensive.
Day 2
Headed out for Koh Phi Phi Islands.
I would say it was a great and very very nice tour. The islands were very beautiful.. we did diving from the speedboat and snorkelling at the waters. The beach was great although the weather was damn hot! we had a great time here!
Back from koh phi phi we had dinner seafood beside the sea at a seafood restaurant by Patong beach.
We didn't had any plans so we went to Bangla stadium to have a look. The fights had started and we had a discounted price of 600 baht to watch the fights. There were no fake fights and every fight was quite exciting. The sits we had was great too.
Day 3
We headed out to Sinbi Muaythai at south phuket with our bike. Although losing our way, we managed to get to the gym. I trained with the best pound for pound fighter of Thailand, Saenchai and Kai Sang trained with Ann from Sinbi. Alot of techniques involved. All photos of the training are in credit of my lovely girl! My bike had a punctured tyre but it was fine after the patch up done at a local motorbike shop.
We headed down to Naiharn Beach for lunch. Headed back to return our bikes. Went out to Patong for a walk after that. Walked through Patong and went to Jung Ceylon, a very well-made shopping center for a place like Phuket. Tried the macdonalds there and had swensons ice cream after that before heading out to the Night market and tried their street food! Went back to hotel after that. Although this was the last night in Phuket, i had to rest in the hotel because i felt damn sick from the bad throat. Super thanks to my girl to pack up the things while i was resting.
Day 4
Back to Singapore!
The trip was really good and enjoyable. My babygirl, brothers and I enjoyed the trip very very much. It was a great experience. We will be back there again for sure! The next time we will try out more stuffs!! =)
Last but not least, this is the sparring video between me and saenchai.
