“I’d love to live in Europe for a bit because of the culture there. I’m a PR, and I feel Singaporeans are very judgemental. You can be doing your own stuff, but as long as it doesn’t fit what the general public thinks is the norm, then you’ll be judged.”

“I’m on a journey of self-love this year, and am looking forward to finding love within myself. It’s something I’ve been lacking for quite a while now, so I’m excited to heal and see what the year has in store for me, and how I’ll handle it all.”

“I have a close group of friends that I’ve known for over a decade, and we often travel together, usually after booking flight tickets on a whim whenever there are good deals. Despite us all having our own lives and careers, it’s always nice to spend time with one another and catch up on life while exploring new places."

“I love sharing the story of how I met my fiancée, @hdyh.rhm! We matched on Tinder and as we were sharing about our life plans, we found out that we were about to enrol into the same school, in the same course, and same class. I thought it was a love scam at first because what are the odds, right?”

“After completing two internships fresh out of Polytechnic, I’m now six months into my first full-time job. It’s exciting, but sometimes I feel like I’m rushing too quickly into a career since I’m only 21 and most of my friends are either in university or are just taking things slow.”

“My English name, Cherrie, was given to me by my dad, and there's a funny story behind it. When he was younger, he saw a cherry pie while travelling in France and he just really liked the sound of it. But regardless, he doesn’t call me by either of my names, just ‘daughter’.”

“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."

“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.”

“As a fitness coach, I believe that we can be flexible with our diets as long as we eat in moderation. I always tell my clients that staying active throughout the day is what’s most important. Even I have my cheat meals too—my go-to is anything from McDonald’s!”

“I started @strandgal, a small jewellery business, three years ago to go back to my roots of creating tactile art. I really love what I make and seeing my pieces on others, but I don’t wear them myself because it's so paiseh to be a walking advertisement for my brand!”

“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’ve been a Commodities Broker for 18 years but I actually studied graphic design at LASALLE. Not many people know this—in fact my husband of six years only just found out recently! I really love my job and it pays better, so I don’t think I’ll be going back to designing."
