“My wife and I started our design studio when we were still architecture students as a way to explore the vast realm of design outside of the field of architecture and dream bigger. We never expected it to become a business, but one thing led to another and it’s been 11 years since!”

“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.”

“Everything has become a delicate balancing act as a working mother of three. When I’m not at work, most of my time is spent with my kids, but I hope that seeing my hard work will instil in them the same drive to pursue their passions in the future.”

“I’m 25 this year and the youngest of seven siblings, with two brothers and four sisters. We’re all pretty close, and have similar interests and tastes in fashion and music. In our free time back in Malaysia, we like to hang out, hunt for new cafés around KL, and go shopping.”

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”.

“I have a two-year-old son and a baby on the way. Being a father means that life is no longer about what I want but what my children need. I really have to pay close attention to our finances now because everything is so expensive these days! But whatever it is, I’ll try to do what’s best for my children.”

“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 doing Muay Thai since I was 14, and I definitely recommend the sport to anyone who’s interested. I only practise it for fun since I’m not a competitive person, but it’s become my crutch to relieve stress and it has made me a more confident person. Plus, it’s such a good way to keep fit!”

“Back in Taiwan, I worked in a coffeeshop and attained my coffee master certification. I’m now working in Singapore as a ground staff at the airport as I wanted to change up my environment and try something new. It’s been enjoyable so far, but I can’t seem to get used to the food here!”

“I’ll be turning 21 soon but I honestly don’t know what being a full-fledged adult really means—I still feel like a teen sometimes! I’m looking forward to the new experiences that’ll come my way, but not lesser nap time and paying for bills.”

“I’m really passionate about music. I started an instrument repair business to provide affordable servicing locally and I’m also a rock band teacher at St. Patricks School—literally like Jack Black from School of Rock. Outside of work, I play with the band, 8forty5, and our first full album is now out on Spotify!”

“I’ll be taking the Bar exam in a few months and going on to practise law, but my passion is in writing. I write a lot of poems, fiction, and some plays, and I’m hoping to eventually pursue this as a career, so once I finish my bond as a lawyer, I’m out.”
