The ASEAN Hive VIP Lounge is a little chilly this week due to the Winter Olympics landing in the lounge and creating a good amount of competitive chaos. ![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/asean.hive/TvYeNLiK-asean.border.png)

⛷️ Winter VIP Olympics Are Here 🏂

^{February 20th, 2026}
**featured authors receive 5% post beneficiary** If you're a real Southeast Asian there's little chance you have a pair of snow skis. No problem though, the ASEAN Hive VIP Lounge has a big haul of official Winter Olympics gear for you all to experiment with and see if you may be a future frozen gold medalist. The luge is already a big hit, but I must admit it has caused a lot of damage to the disco floor and art gallery walls. What matters most though is that we have fun, be warm, and stay safe if possible. https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNHUzaGV3bjZrcXp5M29ibDd5NWs5aHBvOWllZXd2c2tlaWJzNzEzYSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/y5N6LxyZ0RVm9Au0lO/giphy.gif Figure skating and ice hockey have proven to be more fun when combined as a single sport, so whoever thought of that I applaud you. We decided it was inappropriate to use guns in our biatholon, so for a non-violent option we went with competitive noodle soup eating because it will keep our tropical skiers warm and energized. If you're still here and not frozen yet, I highly encourage you to ski onward and check out these five awesome posts from each of our VIP tiers. ![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/asean.hive/TvYeNLiK-asean.border.png) [

I headed out to the local shopping center only to be greeted by basically everyone in town also being there. I came here for something really specific so I just got into a lift/elevator and headed up to what I came there for. During that journey I was kind of surprised to see that the arcade was basically completely devoid of kids running around and screaming as the rest of the mall was absolutely packed with them.** ___ [

by: **@jack.russelle - ASEAN HIVE VIP 💿 PLATINUM** > ^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} **It was about 6 years ago when I decided at the encouragement of a friend to go over to Thailand and live / possibly work for a year when I was not very happy with my employment opportunities after graduating from college with a degree in Economics. I kind of fell in love with living here and am still here well beyond the time that I promised I would go back. Sometimes I look at my situation and think I am making a mistake but the good news is that I am still putting money away in the bank and investing, even though my wages are probably around 1/3 - 1/4 what they could potentially be if I was back in Texas.** ___ [

Been so lag for the past weeks because maybe rains would literally just make you uninspired if you don't feel like to become melancholic. I planned the night before to walk at CCLEX New Road. At 5 a.m., I stepped out of the house, convinced the darkness was only because it was early. I didn’t notice the heavy clouds resting above the sky. I thought it was just dawn taking its time.** ___ [

by: **@shikika - ASEAN HIVE VIP 🥈 SILVER** > ^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} **As of today, there’s still no update about the BBQ stall slot that I am praying and hoping for. Still, even without confirmation, my heart is already excited. Maybe that’s just how I am, once I start dreaming about something, I can’t stop imagining it becoming real. 💪😊 Even though I don’t have the stall yet, I already started creating the business name and designing the tarpaulin. Some people might say it’s too early, but for me, it’s a sign of faith. I am preparing as if it’s already mine. 😊🙏** ___ [
