Starting Up

Tell us something interesting about yourself.

I’m Indonesian-Chinese. I was born in the United States, but just renounced my citizenship. I lived in Jakarta and then Singapore, since primary school. And I’m actually rushing off to a casting right now—I’m from a modelling agency, so I’m balancing that and work.

What are some of your hobbies?

I’m interested in technology. I want to learn coding; right now I only know HTML and CSS at the moment, the really basic stuff. I’m looking at apps but maybe not the development, because I’m not an engineer—more on the branding and marketing, which is what I’m doing right now.

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?

I’d form my own start-up. I’ve always wanted to do that actually. I’m looking for funding, so if I had one million dollars, that’s easy money for me to start everything.

What’s your biggest fear in life?

Life can be scary sometimes, and I definitely have fears. However my biggest fear in life is to have fear itself stop me from fully experiencing life.

If you could trade lives with anyone for a day, who would it be and why?

It would be with anyone I love, so that I can go inside their minds and understand them better and in turn, love them better.

Who would be your role model in life?

Richard Branson. Crazy guy. I aspire to be as fearless as he is.
