Soulmate

Since the last time we spoke to you, how would you say your style has changed?
I would say I’m still pretty much the same. Previously, I was wearing very wide pants and some sneakers and a striped top because it was a Friday at work so I was wearing whatever was comfortable and casual. Now, I’m still a sneakers girl, just that today I was getting my nails done, so I can’t wear sneakers.

What’s the most exciting thing that has happened to you recently?
Actually, my partner Syahmi and I just got married! We were very nervous, but we were very excited as well. We were also glad that we got to do a really intimate and small wedding, which is what we’ve always wanted. I mean, COVID calls for that, but I guess it’s a good thing for us too. We had just 100 guests at a restaurant. We wanted to have our wedding in a restaurant because there’s good food, and we’re huge foodies.

What’s your favourite type of food?
Pasta. Syahmi likes pizza, so we always get one of each to share when we eat out (laughs). I also love cooking, so I’m really looking forward to getting our own home. I will probably be cooking a lot of pasta then. I like anything super cheesy, and anything tomato-based. I just love all pasta!

How long have you and Syahmi been together, and what has it been like being in a relationship with him?
We’ve been together for two years, and we’ve been best friends for seven years. Everything with him has been amazing. He’s a gentleman, treats me really well, and he knows how to make me laugh all the time. No one makes me as happy as he does.

What’s the biggest thing that Syahmi’s taught you?
To always be brave and confident in myself, which is something I’ve always been working on.
