“I prefer dressing in bright-coloured clothing and accessories, and I like mixing and matching. My favourite fashion label is the Australian brand Gorman."
"In Singapore, the design scene is very focused on going higher and higher, and reaching achievements and success. Which is not to say that's wrong, but I think sometimes one gets a bit too wrapped up in that, which can be very exhausting, especially in school where everyone around you is like that.”
“My long-term goal as an artist is to publish a comic of my own. It’s so easy to do so these days, even without a traditional art school background! So once I have a well-thought out narrative and everything, I'd like to publish my own comic. It's still in the works, so no further comment!”
“I’ll be starting university soon, and I’m most excited to make new friends. I do have a close group of friends right now, and I definitely love them, but it's always nice to meet new people and see how they're living different lives, and going through different experiences.”
“In my free time, I enjoy dressing up, walking around the city, reading, and most recently, writing poetry though I’m not that good at it yet! I’m currently reading A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara—I just started on it, so so far, so good!”
“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."
