“I think long distance relationships are all about communication and being willing to put in the effort. Even when things become routine, it’s up to both of you to keep things fun and maintain that connection.”

"Singapore is very nice and I love it. It’s also very hot! But I’m excited because we’re having a listening party for the first time and we can meet the fans."

“I used to do theatre, public speaking and debate, and I also majored in Psychology. Pursuing a Master's in Speech and Language Pathology seemed like the perfect marriage of all my interests. It's really meaningful work, and I'm very excited to start!”

“I’m from Fujian, China, and studied in Singapore for about 8 years. I prefer working in Singapore! I think Singapore might be a bit better because I’m more used to life here after spending so many years here.”

“It’s been a very hectic year, but I’ve been very happy. Previously, it was just school, school, school, and then work, work, work. This year has just been a year of nonsense and fun, lah. I’ve just been hustling and doing a lot of side quests.”

“My favourite part of my internship is getting to take on different shows. We’re currently working on the Asian Youth Theatre Festival, which is a youth theatre programme that happens every year.”

“I studied Arts Management, I was a dancer... I’ve done many things separately, and at some point, I was like, 'Let's do a run club (OFF:FORM),' and everything just kind of fell into place.”

"It’s been an interesting year because I just did a career switch. It’s a new season of life for me, and I’ve learned a lot of new stuff. I was funemployed for a period of time, and entering a new workplace gives me a bit of a whiplash."

“I've been completely fascinated by Singapore's infrastructure and architecture. As a visitor, I love that it’s not just a typical city of malls.”

“In my free time, I love to just walk around—whether it's exploring HDB estates or random neighborhoods I've never been to before. I don't have a specific destination in mind, I just like to see wherever my feet lead me.”

“Music is always a huge part of what I do, and I've been loving the process of exploring new sounds. Beyond that, I really enjoy experimenting with my personal style and changing up my look—like my current pixie cut—as a natural way to express how I'm feeling on the inside.”

“In my free time, I love listening to music, especially pop and K-pop. I'm a huge fan of BIGBANG—I actually managed to score tickets to their concert for the second day, and I couldn't be more excited!”
