Looking back at 2025 ✨

2025 has been a less hectic year for me.. and that’s been a blessing. Slowing down allowed me to spend more time on the things that truly matter - meaningful work, community, family, and personal growth.

This year, I was grateful to see Just Walk! Penang featured in a local Chinese newspaper, and to co-organize a health event with Hospital Lam Wah Ee that included a blood donation drive. Professionally, I invested in myself by completing the Stroke Recovery Fitness specialization with MedFit Education Foundation, and I was honored to be invited to speak at an obesity symposium for medical practitioners.

On a personal level, I marked my return to competitive sports after more than 10 years — completing .my Duathlon, an Aquathlon, my first singles race in Bangkok, and a mixed doubles race in Shanghai with . I also started a new running community, .my , to help runners become better, stronger, and more resilient.

One of my proudest moments this year was watching my daughter shine winning Best Sports Girl in her school and taking gold in the 100m, 400m, and 4x100m relay. That moment alone made the entire year unforgettable.

As I look ahead to the coming year, I hope to continue growing, learning, and becoming better while staying grounded in what matters most: faith, family, health, and the people I care about.

Wishing everyone a year filled with purpose, growth, good health, and abundant blessings. 🙏

HYROX365 recently published a peer-reviewed study highlighting what matters in HYROX performance. These are the key findings which I find most interesting.

🟣 HYROX is fundamentally a running sport. Most races are won or lost in the run.
🟣 Threshold work (Zone 4–5) is essential to handle the sustained intensity.
🟣 Technical precision, neuromuscular control and paced-effort especially during mid-race matter more than absolute strength or power.
🟣 Aim for at least 6+ weeks of structured training focusing on building aerobic capacity with moderate strength, not maximal strength.
🟣 Higher Vo2max and lower body fat % correlates to faster race times. Athlete’s height and body weight can also influence performance.
🟣 Stations with the biggest time differences happen at BJ burpees, SB lunges and wall balls. These stations are where athletes gain or lose the most time.
🟣 Top performers show strong lactate tolerance, fast recovery, and sharper cognitive control under fatigue.
🟣 Hybrid athletes need a balanced approach by training both aerobic and anaerobic systems to perform at their best.

‼Did you know that becoming physically active can help deter risk of dementia, especially during midlife?

A recent study on physical activity and dementia found those who stayed the most active during midlife (45–64) and late life (65–88) had a 41–45% lower risk of developing dementia compared to those who were least active.

It’s another reminder that while we can’t control our age or genes, we can control our lifestyle. And choosing to move now especially in midlife may literally protect our brain years later.

THE POWER OF STRENGTH & CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS IN CANCER CARE!!

A new meta-analysis of 46,694 cancer patients shows:

✔ 31–46% lower all-cause mortality in patients with higher muscle strength or cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)
✔ Significant benefits even in advanced-stage, lung, and digestive cancers
✔ Each increment in strength or fitness = meaningful reduction in death risk
✔ CRF increments cut cancer-specific mortality by 18%

Association of muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness with all-cause and cancer-specific mortality in patients diagnosed with cancer: a systematic review with meta-analysis. Br J Sports Med. 2025;59(10):722-732. Published 2025 May 2. doi:10.1136/bjsports-2024-108671

Patients deserve it. The data shows it. The outcomes prove it.

We are grateful to God for watching over us throughout and guiding us to our goal. This experience proved once again that with grit and dedication, anything is within reach. Racing together reminded us that it’s more than chasing a personal best… it’s about enjoying the journey, strengthening each other’s weaknesses, and celebrating each other’s strengths (while having fun!!). A memory we’ll cherish, and a path we’ll keep walking side by side.

I am super proud of for doing her best, especially during her run!
