If you haven't known by now, I have the most awesome friend who have this extraordinary habit that keeps people dropping their jaw every time he actually did it. It's called planking, my friend, as the Wiki says:

Planking (or the Lying Down Game) is an activity consisting of lying face down —sometimes in an unusual or incongruous location. Both hands must touch the sides of the body.[1] Some players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. Many participants in planking have photographed the activity in unusual locations and have shared such pictures through social media.

Meet Kaisar Siregar, or Ical, as people call him. Let me take you through the magical planking journey of his. He would plank.........

...IN A GROUP PHOTO SESSION.

Well, not exactly group photos but yeah, same absurdity. Taken in Bali, Indonesia.

For one second I thought he was the one wearing Darth Vader mask, but between Star Wars and planking? Yep, he choose to plank whenever it's possible. And is this somebody's wedding, Kaisar?!

He called it "CONTEMPORARY PLANKING". Hahahaha. (at some art museum in France).

I WAS GONNA END THIS POST WITH HIS VERY FIRST PLANK-EFFORT, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHICH. BUT THIS ONE BELOW IS ONE OF HIS FIRST PLANKING THAT I WITNESSED MYSELF, AT SINGAPORE F1 GRANDPRIX 2011.

WHAT A LIFE, KAISAR. WHAT. A. LIFE.

You are indeed, my version of real life Barney Stinson. Your entire life has been nothing but awesome, Cal. In the end I'm so glad that you maxed out your life, with jaw-dropping experience all across the world. It still crushes me every time, knowing that I won't be able to see your updates on social media, to see another epic planking pose, and to see how well you've been coping with life. You have no idea how much we are at loss by this sudden news :'(
I hope you rest in peace, Ical.
To me, you will always be that one friend who has the most amazing life stories. Thank you.
Thank you.
