“I’m currently working as an Account Manager, but if I wasn’t in this particular field, I would love to be a dog sitter so I can be around dogs all the time! Or professionally dressing Barbie dolls—I’ve heard that’s a thing.”

“If I were to describe my personal style in one sentence, it would be ‘Innocent village maiden who is also a love cult leader at night that nobody knows about’. My wardrobe is half girly, frilly and pink, and half black, with a bunch of other colours in the middle, so my style is pretty multidimensional.”

“I find that many Gen Z’s like myself are very insecure about their local identity because we’ve been Westernised and cannot speak our own dialects or mother tongue. But for me, being Singaporean is about carving out a space that we belong to right here.”

“I really love noodles. I even did a whole project on noodles back in school! I can’t choose a favourite dish but I’ll always go for some variant of instant noodles. I love discovering new flavours and all I can say is that I’m thankful I still have a head full of hair—for now!”

“I returned to Vietnam (where I’m from) on a tour of the largest known cave in the world, Son Doong, and I was left in awe of nature and how small we are in this universe—I heard that you can fit an entire skyscraper within its walls!

“Working for an organic skincare brand has made me much more aware of the chemicals that exist in our everyday products, and I’ve also cut down on the plastic products that I use in my daily life.”

“I tried out the healthy living thing once and subscribed to a gym membership which I ended up not using at all. I also tried watching my diet but I thought, if I eat happy, I’m going to have a happy mind, and a happy mind is a healthy mind.”

“My best decision ever was to go to Mexico for an exchange programme. I like immersing myself in another culture but I don't think I’m well-travelled, so that was an opportunity for me to see a place and culture that I’d otherwise never be able to experience.”

"If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be noodles or pasta. Just carbs!”
