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.” -
Interstitial
Yah-Leng /“I’m not some super entrepreneurial tiger mom—I'm not that organised. But I just do my best and I think for me, communication is still key.” -
Slow States
Arthur /“Oftentimes, I have to remind myself it's not the destination. It's always about the process.” -

Guiding Light
Farah /“People often think that teaching is an easy job which anyone can do—but it takes patience, understanding and lots and lots and lots of tolerance.”
