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!” -
Roots Intertwined
Erliana /“I run a business, FIN Crafted Goods, with my husband Fahmy, so as you can imagine, it’s really hard separating life from work. But when I do actively take a step back from work, I like to cook and read. Physical books only though! No e-books. It’s how Fahmy and I escape reality.” -
A Healing Touch
Hiromi /"I first discovered naturopathic medicine on a work holiday in Australia. After witnessing the healing impacts of natural practices on my life, especially during stressful periods battling with various illnesses, I started my journey as a Healing Therapist in Singapore to share the benefits of self-healing with others.” -
Brushes To Stitches
Clarence /“I’m a sucker for art, so in a sense, taking it as a subject for ’A’ Levels lets me pursue my hobby and studies at the same time! For my coursework, I’m planning to delve into fashion, which is new to me, so I really need to improve on my sewing skills this year.” -
Striving And Thriving
Edry /“At 22, I’m starting to feel the pressure of growing older as my 25-year-old brother just got married. I do want my parents to see my children grow up, but I still have a lot more that I want to achieve and explore before I finally settle down, so I’m not in a hurry.”
