Strung Through
Sunny /“My dream is to start my own company combining my passions for education and design—I’d love to open a small academy or run a YouTube channel teaching design.” -
Building Blocks
Scott /"Outside of my work as an architect, I do create artwork for myself and my friends, but I don't exhibit them or anything lah, it’s just a personal interest." -
Joan Of Art
Alëna /“Apparently, I’m named after a Russian Joan of Arc, and people often joke that my name, style, and personality all seem to match that inspiration!” -

Yesterday Once More
Malik /“When I was younger, I used to buy expensive brands like Armani, but now I feel like it’s not worth it. I prefer thrifting because the things I get are unique—I’m the only one who owns it. I shop at Malaysia’s Big Bundle in Johor Bahru because it’s cheaper.” -
Wanderer
Larry /“As a 23-year-old, I’ve been told many times not to worry about rushing into a career since I’m still young, so I decided to heed this advice and put a pause on work to do some solo travelling around Asia for a year. Indonesia, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh, and Taipei are what’s on my list so far.” -
Inner Peace
Denise /“I’m working on living from day to day right now because we often forget to be present and in the moment. Many a times, we get so caught up with waiting for the next ‘big thing’ that we don’t realise that we are actually experiencing the ‘big thing’ that we were previously anticipating.” -
In Pursuit
Aisya /“In my free time outside of work, I like to go to South Korea for 2-3 weeks at a time to attend concerts. It’s different watching K-Pop artists perform in their home country because they’re more comfortable in a familiar environment and hence enjoy it more." -
Sifting Through
Akmal /"When I was retrenched during Covid-19, I started curating vintage clothing, and now run a small store on the online platform, Grailed. It’s going well so far but of course there are ups and downs depending on the season.” -
Space Oddities
Eunice /“Back in Taiwan, I worked in a coffeeshop and attained my coffee master certification. I’m now working in Singapore as a ground staff at the airport as I wanted to change up my environment and try something new. It’s been enjoyable so far, but I can’t seem to get used to the food here!” -
Down To Earth
Joey /"I used to party often, but now that I’m earning my own money, I’ve realised that I can’t afford that anymore. Now I go once in awhile, but otherwise I’ll usually be chilling at a friend’s house—we like to play Super Smash Bros. on the Switch, although we can get pretty competitive!”
