"My favourite dishes are braised minced pork rice and yang chun noodles—comfort food, basically. I can cook, but I prefer eating out because I’m too lazy to clean up after.”
“I just returned to Singapore after living in London and Jakarta for more than 10 years, for the sake of work and my parents. I think it’s a good pit stop for me to catch my breath and rethink my life choices, but I feel a constant urge to move, so I probably won’t stay put for long.”
“I’ve noticed that my whole aura has changed for the better since I started modelling last year! Through modelling and interacting with other people in the industry, I’ve really come out of my shell and gained a lot more confidence.”
“I’m a South Korean living in Singapore with my husband, who’s Singaporean. I met him at a bar while I was on a holiday here and we had a long-distance relationship for a year. For me, It didn’t matter that my husband was not physically with me because he gave me the companionship I needed.“
“I’ve been a chef for over 20 years. The culinary world involves a lot of trial-and-error and I’ve experimented with so many things! Sometimes they're rubbish, but other times, they turn out really good, like prawns with chocolate—surprisingly, the sweetness of both pair so well together!”
"I’ve been a professional performer for 15 years, and what gives me most joy when performing is being able to create beautiful memories for audiences of all ages through choreography and special effects.”
“I’m 25 this year and the youngest of seven siblings, with two brothers and four sisters. We’re all pretty close, and have similar interests and tastes in fashion and music. In our free time back in Malaysia, we like to hang out, hunt for new cafés around KL, and go shopping.”
“I’m the co-founder and CEO of a Web3 platform that empowers creators to leverage AI and gamification tools. As a female leader in the tech industry, I hope to continue advocating for gender equality in the field and inspire more women to recognise the significant role that technology has in our lives.”
“Many Chinese Singaporeans are Western-educated and modernised, and a lot of us are unaware of the 5,000 years of history and culture that made us who we are today. Our research studio, Chito, is a platform for youths to connect with the Chinese culture in a contemporary way.”
“I get very anxious when I’m alone, so I’m trying to spend more time by myself because legit nobody cares. So far, I’ve gone shopping alone a few times and I’ve even tried eating alone, which was very scary. But again, nobody cares!”
“I’m currently an Associate Dean at a fine arts school and the co-founder of an art incubator, dblspce. Having been involved in Singapore’s arts scene for over 17 years, my dream is to see more engagements between artists and the community. There’s so much treasure in the stories that artists have to tell, if people only take the time to look, listen, and learn from.”
“A lot of my art is inspired by nature as I grew up in a small tropical island in the south of Thailand called Ko Pha Ngan. I was surrounded by trees, waterfalls, even geckos and snakes that found their way into my home! Needless to say, my works greatly explore the relationship between human and nature.”
