Home Sweet Home
Haruna /“I’ve been working in Singapore for two years, and life here is so different from back home in Japan. I like that there’s so much greenery in the city, and I also enjoy eating laksa and bak kut teh, but rental is so expensive and I miss the cold weather! So now that my contract's ended, I'm headed home!” -
In Her Stride
Eliza /“Since getting married and moving out of my parents’ place, I’ve been missing my childhood bedroom more and more. It was a source of comfort for the homebody in me growing up, and even got me through the whole lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic!” -
Little Bit ‘O Soul
Isa /“One of my favourite bands is Son Lux. If you didn’t know, they composed the soundtrack album for the film Everything Everywhere All at Once. Their music is very cinematic and almost cerebral, blending a lot of sounds while still being rooted in melody.” -
Sum Of A Whole
Miyako /When asked what local dishes she liked best, Miyako whipped out her phone excitedly and, in true mum fashion, showed us pictures of all of the good food she’s eaten, from dim sum to masala dosa, which she described as being “spicy, but very delicious”. -

Rolling On
Melvin /“In my free time, I enjoy building mechanical keyboards and customising everything from the switches to the layout. I’ve also just picked up skateboarding after wanting to do so for a long time. There’s a constant fear of falling since I’m not as young as I used to be, but it’s a hobby I wish to continue.” -
A Life Well Lived
Wahid /“I’ve been a Design & Technology (D&T) instructor for 25 years and I’ve seen the education system change a lot over the years. Like it or not, we have to learn and adapt with the times or we won’t be able to survive. As such, I now also teach 3D printing, laser cutting, and computer programming as part of the D&T curriculum.” -
The Colour Yellow
Ellina /“Working in the media industry has taught me to be kind. In my role, I meet and liaise with many different people, and I’ve found that people can be quite unkind. I always remind myself that I don’t want to be them; I want to be nice despite being stressed and having deadlines to meet.” -
On The Pole
Salmah /“I’ve been pole dancing on and off since 2010. Earlier on when I first started, I really loved doing all the tricks and getting strong, but now, I’m old already lah. I focus more on lighter dancing now, and looking pretty. Don’t need to be strong anymore, my bones cannot take it.” -
Stream Of Consciousness
Melody /“Brewing tea is like trying to bring a chorus of voices out harmoniously, so that one is not louder than the others, and so that things are in balance. It’s sort of like a journey. Some days, it really feels like a struggle, but the most joyful part is in the tasting.” -
Burgeoning
Rafi /“Fashion has always been an interest of mine, but I never go to pursue it until now. Back when I finished my diploma in Tourism Business and Hospitality in polytechnic, I told my parents that it’s time for me to pursue what I wanted.”
