Nick Vujicic Spins Hooky in Singapore
From motivational talks to lakeside antics
Who would have thought that the world‑famous speaker who can’t take a traditional walk could actually join a fishing crew and reel in a finned friend? On Tuesday, August 30, Nick Vujicic was spotted at the D‘Nest Fishing pond in Pasir Ris, Singapore, proving that adventure knows no bounds.
- Capturing the moment: A quick clip on Facebook shows Nick balancing the fishing rod between his chin and chest, while a staff member helps him pull in his first catch of the day.
- Cheers all around: Bystanders erupted in applause as the 35‑year‑old Serbian‑Australian celebrated the successful haul.
- “So good! Great fighter!”: He proudly called out to the fish in the video, before posing for a candid photo.
- Tag‑team: Elim Chew, the founder of 77th Street, had accompanied him and posted the clip on her popular YouTube series Changemaker.
- Unclear motive: Neither Nick’s official website nor his social feeds list any event or excursion taking place in Singapore, leaving fans to wonder whether this was a spontaneous trip or a break from his globetrotting schedule.
- Local support: D‘Nest manager Jessie Neo confirmed that Nick dropped by for a couple of hours, enjoying his first experience at the pond. “We felt happy he’d feel the thrill of fishing,” she said.
Life Without Limbs: An Endless Journey
Not new to pushing limits, Nick has pulled muscle and hearts alike since his birth sans arms and legs, a result of a rare condition called phocomelia. Over his incredible life, he’s covered 5,000,000 km of earth, delivered motivational talks in more than 50 countries, and sold over a million copies of his books across 30‑plus languages.
- From swimming alongside sharks in Sentosa’s Marine Life Park in 2013 to seizing opportunities wherever they arise.
- Back in 2014, the Straits Times noted his presence in Singapore for the launch of his magazine, Attitude Is Altitude.
So whether it’s a book tour or a marshy afternoon, Nick keeps proving that fulfillment comes from doing the thing you love—whether that’s turning a speech into a life‑changing lesson or reeling in a fish. And that, folks, is what turns straight‑shooters into true changemakers!
