Meet Singapore's 'yo-yo boy'
Xavier Ng, 22, has been yo-yoing since he was 12. He was hooked on a series called Blazing Teens and got his first yo-yo from the show's merchandise. Photo: CNA/Jeremy Long He entered his first contest in 2017, and is now a four-time national yo-yo champion. Photo: CNA/Jeremy Long Over the years, he's amassed a large collection of yo-yos. Photo: CNA/Jeremy Long He cleans and maintains all of them by hand. Photo: CNA/Jeremy Long In the lead up to competitions, he practises every day. 'It's not that fun,' he admits, since he's practising the same moves on repeat, but he knows that's the only way to nail it on competition day. Photo: CNA/Faith Ho Sometimes his cat joins in too! Photo: CNA/Jeremy Long From friendships to discipline, yo-yoing has given Xavier many things over the past decade. But its greatest gift has been the conviction to do what he loves, even when it isn't popular. Photo: CNA/Faith Ho "It may be perceived as 'childish', but it's something I'm proud of. It's a skill I've worked very hard for. So if people call me yo-yo boy, I'll be like, yeah that's me," he said. Photo: CNA/Jeremy Long Next Story
