Browsing “Shopee”

“I currently run a home-based stuffed brownie business, which I started back in 2019, because in school, we need laptops, so I started selling brownies to raise funds for a MacBook. Later on, baking really grew on me, and it’s since become my passion.”

“When I was in primary school, I used to play the trombone quite often, because I was in the school band, but I stopped after I entered poly because I wanted to try something new. I have since picked up crocheting from my mum, and am now looking to get better at it—I made this mask chain myself!”

“My dad always tells me to be a woman with love, and to carry myself with grace. I just have to keep doing what I love to do, and just keep upgrading myself until the right person chases me. I don’t have to do the chasing, and I should never do the chasing.”

“I love the freedom of boating. I have the freedom to lie down, smoke, and do whatever I want. There are no supervisors or superiors, just me. And I love the ocean—it’s very peaceful, just me and the water.”

“My mom is my biggest inspiration in life. She is in her 50’s now, but she still gets through each day like she's in her 30’s. She inspires me to live in the moment and not let age or health define me.”

“I broke my funny bone skating before and that wasn't fun.”
