SHENTONISTA

“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!”

“Fitness is really about consistency, keeping up that routine and being comfortable with it, while learning more about your body and what you’re capable of.”

“My friend and I are huge foodies, so we like trying new restaurants and cooking together. In the past 2 years I also picked up photography, so whenever I travel, I like to take photos of the food I had in that specific city and create a gastronomical diary!”

“Lately I've been into making different kinds of teas and drinks. I like making flavoured syrups and creating new flavour combinations.”
