SHENTONISTA

"After studying fashion, I don’t want to pursue it as it won’t sustain me. That said, I do hope that someone more ambitious and passionate in Singapore makes it big and changes the fashion industry here.”

“Love is soup in a slow cooker—everything gets better the longer it’s left to stew.”

"We don’t need to be rich or whatever—we just want to be happy."

"Love is reciprocal. You can't love someone without understanding them."

“As a tourist visiting Singapore for the first time on holiday, I’m not sure what local foods I want to try specifically, but my favourite so far is cendol—it’s delicious!”

“I like collecting vinyls and CDs, which usually come with inserts and extra content. You’re supporting the artists more directly this way, especially if you buy their merch.”

“After I graduate, I want to get into journalism. Or be a curator, or pursue advertising, marketing, or fashion PR, or art therapy. Or maybe even a detective…”

“With the interior of our cafe, we did everything ourselves. People tend to pump in so much money and effort into making things look minimalistic, and I find that crazy!”

“I feel like maximalism is still the way to show your true personality, but many people are scared to go outside of their comfort zones.”

“The biggest stage I’ve performed on is the Outdoor Theatre at the Esplanade, but I really want to perform at the National Day Parade, in front of thousands of people.”

“I’ve been retired for about four years and I’m really enjoying my life now. Every day is like a new adventure, and I can focus on making myself happy!”

“I love going on city walks and people watching! I’ve been to so many different cities, and noticed that each one breeds a different type of personality in its people.”
