Badminton has taught me a lot about partnerships: it's not always a 50/50 split, but often we take turns carrying each other at different times. There's no need to count, because kindness is a real show of strength 💪🏻 Patrick Lencioni wrote that the ideal team player needs to be HUMBLE, HUNGRY, and SMART. I like that, but I would also include STRONG. The big day is coming up, but I think we've long figured it out before. Despite whatever hurdles that come up, I will carry you over them if I must, twirl you around, and still have a smile/smirk on my face 😏 📷 Captured and edited by @_ivoryandgold_ #Caroby2019 #preweddingphotos #humble #hungry #smart #strong #badminton #nofilter

Happy 🇨🇦 Day! Special throwback to some of the times I got to represent this awesome country with awesome people. I will always be grateful for this opportunity. Thank you Canada for the opportunity to make it happen! 🙏 #athletelife #retired #OhCanada #badminton #sport #mapleleaf #imsorry #thankyou

Happy #OlympicDay and thanks to everyone who was part of my journey that helped make things happen! Special thanks to my partner, Grace Gao and my coach, Kim Dong Moon, for my golden years of badminton, through thick and thin. "You da real MVPs" 🙇🏻‍♂️ I would also like to thank Darryl Yung and ClearOne for getting me to the level where I could even consider making an Olympic run. If it weren't for Darryl, I would have probably quit badminton in 2004 (to be a bboy)🙏 Additionally, my parents were especially supportive for all my years of badminton, for my brother and I. Fun fact, my parents never could afford to come and watch me compete internationally outside of Pan Am Games in Toronto. They never saw me or my brother at the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, or any of my 7 World Championships. Sometimes I may not be the most pleasant person to be with, but it was because I was envious. I know I had to do it alone most of the time; I was on my own. I apologize if my intensity has ever hurt anyone 😔 Lastly, thank you to the love of my life, Carmen Fong, for the support across my entire international career. Once again, she wasn't able to come out until my final two years, mainly cuz I had to propose to her, and we are getting hitched in August! 🤵🏻👰🏻 The Olympics has been life changing, and I wish the best of luck to those on their own Olympic journey to Tokyo and beyond! Once again, thank you everyone who made my opportunity possible! 😊 #athletelife #retired #badminton #London2012 #gratitude #BWF #ClearOne #Yonex #Olympian

I'm proud to announce that Derrick and I will be making a comeback for Tokyo 2020 after winning the 2019 Washington Open! Feels great to win an international title after 2 years! 😬 I would like to thank my manager, @harrokittie, and training partners, @shoyushome and friends at the Seattle Athletic Club! EDIT: I just found out that there are no points awarded for the Washington Open, so in protest, we have decided to boycott the Olympic run. But be sure to look out for us in 2024 🤪 Thanks to everyone for a wonderful trip in Seattle/Bellevue and it was great to see a thriving badminton scene! We had a great time meeting friends old and new, and I can't wait to be back! I swear, I could almost live down there 😎 P.S. The last picture is for those who take me too seriously 👻 #nomorehashtags

It was a blast coaching at the Canada Winter Games! I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with everyone and I hope you all had a great time. Best of luck to those who are still competing in their upcoming competition and I hope you will all continue to play badminton and enjoy this incredible sport for life! #coachlife #badminton #canadawintergames #teambc #reddeer #weliveforthis #untilnexttime PS. I am quitting Instagram for 30 days 🤪🤪🤪

Always a pleasure to compete and it went pretty well to get a chance to play against Canada's best, partnered also with Canada's best! I'm also grateful to meet my two goals of the tournament: 1) Don't get injured, and 2) Win a medal. It's exciting to see the new teams coming up to win the tournament and I feel that there are still many good players/teams out there. Unfortunately, not everyone can win and congratulations to the winners, but I hope those who may not have performed their best this week continue to push forward as well: maybe your week(s) will show up some other time this year. Don't give up! Lastly, thanks to my partners this week, BR Sankeerth and Michelle Li! I appreciate you partnering with me and covering me (sorry for making both of you dive a few times 😅) and it was fun! Best wishes to both of you in your international competition and sorry for making you play doubles/mixed 🤣 Up next: Canada Winter Games! If it's any consolation, I guess one of the BC coaches just medalled at Nationals. Can't get more legit than that 😎 #thankyou #badminton #2019nationals #Yonex #ClearOne #stilldecent #timetowork #arcsaber10 #goodluck
