“I think my partner and I are at a very good stage now. We’re planning to settle down, not anytime soon, but he’s someone that I know I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
“My dad found a pretty beetle in our home so I kept it, and after it died, I put it in hand sanitiser. Since then, I’ve been collecting and preserving hard-bodied insects.”
“As a pastry chef, I try to taste new desserts every now and then to gather inspiration. I enjoy working with sweet and spicy flavours, like chocolate and chilli padi, or florals.”
“One misconception that people have about the underground scene is that we’re rebels in a bad way, but we’re just troubled people that want to find ourselves and our voice.”
“I spend most of my time at home, but I wouldn’t say that I’m a homebody, I’m just too broke to do all the things I want to do like rock climbing. I think about the future a lot, and I’m hoping to be self-sufficient and completing university by the time I turn 25—which is in five years.”
