Sinbi Muay Thai & Phuket

I arrived yesterday at night jet lagged and tired. But luckily I had a taxi driver waiting for me at the airport. Turns out he also teaches at the gym.

As soon as we get to the gym I see there are foreigners sitting outside and talking. After dropping off my luggage I go and join them. They are really friendly and not at all what I expected this to be like. They were tough to be sure but also very welcoming and inviting.

I was really hungry and thirst, so Nathan (UK guy) motorbiked me to the nearest 711 where I got some water. And my roommate Jordan (US girl) got me some left over pizza.

This morning I saw them again and got my own motorbike. The training schedules are 7:30am-9:30am then 4:30-6:30pm. Since it was my first day and I was a bit sick I decided to just zip around the island on my motorbike. I got lost so many times to count. At one point I couldn't start up the bike, and we were pulled over by Thai cops to check for driver licenses, luckily I had mine mailed out to me weeks ago from Canada so I was fine. But my friend wasn't so lucky and had to pay a 500bht fine.But in the end it all worked out and now I am back at the gym waiting to snap some good photos when afternoon training starts. I think I will join the morning training tomorrow.







Oh did I mention I went to the beach? This beach is fucking amazing to say the least. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip so far and the best part is that it is only a 10 minute motor bike ride away from the gym.

Peace out from Phuket!

Are MBTI predictors a scam?

-
I am not a 迷信 person. I want to say that overall I am quite scientific in my thinking and reasoning. That is why I never believe anything to do with astrology, blood types etc. However the MBTI test is science backed... or so I thought.  In the last 3 month since I was hypomanic, I have been down a deep rabbit hole to try to understand myself better.  I recall doing the MBTI test while on a drive to Blue Mountain last year. At the time, my score was INTJ.  Today,  I decided to see if the results still hold up. The results became ENTJ-T.  Finally I decided that maybe just for fun, how does Chatgpt see me?  The prompt I used specifically is: "based on everything i told you so far. ascertain my MBTI. Don't use the chats where I told you I am INTJ"  Again it came back with a different result: ESTP (with unusually strong strategic/reflective traits).  So all that is to say, which one is it? Lols.  I am quite confused myself. To be honest I ha...

Strasbourg encore and dance party!

-
I arrived in Strasbourg yesterday around 1pm. I saw Michel and Veronique again and it was great. They invited me to a friend's party with "old people" as they called it. I had a great time there and had some really great food! The party guests were really interesting but the best part was the dance floor, the house DJ one of the party guests put on everything from Stromae to Michael Jackson. It was great just dancing around. I have about 2 more days here before heading to Amsterdam and my plane back to Canada. Tomorrow I got a full day going around to the bank and closing my various accounts and tying up loose ends. I wish I took more pictures but I was too busy dancing or enjoying the food haha.  Peace from Strasbourg.

Europe planning

-
The date for my European trip is fast approaching. I think I am really slacking lately on the planning department. I really didn't do any planning till this week and I am suppose to get on a plan next Monday! Like OMG right. So after sifting through endless amounts of literature online about the train system in Europe and hitchhiking I have really only made some headway in the anxiety department. There is this pass called the Eurorail pass which allows you to travel unlimited for 10 days in the span of 2 month. This was my first choice in terms of getting around Europe since it was cheap (relatively) $550 and allowed me a lot of flexibility in terms of not having to worry about transportation. But the problem is they don't sell it in Europe for non EU residents. They have to mail it to you. Long story short I just ordered it today with express delivery (extra $35). So theoretically it should arrive here on Monday (the day I am suppose to leave). At one point I was considering h...

Published on spotify

-
I been playing around with Suno AI for music generation recently.  It has helped me process some emotions and events in a creative way. I published the whole album on Spotify in May, 2026.  In the process I learned that you cannot just simply publish songs to Spotify. There is an intricate web of third party middle man who acts as publishers on your behalf.  I don't really have any expectations of making an income with Spotify songs, especially as unpolished as my songs. But they are fun to make and listen to. Publishing it on Spotify has the added benefit of reducing friction for me to listen to my songs. Previously I would have to use a different app to listen to my music.   Here is the link:  https://open.spotify.com/album/5kFlzmaZL1rUNgVP44zmwi?si=FwUWm-lVTc6roishsPJ6tA Peace from Toronto
