“As a paper artist, I try to pick out projects that are in line with what I’m trying to explore, or ones that give me more exposure. But I also have a day job as a designer, so sometimes I have to force myself to pull the brakes instead of just making and making and making!”

“I’m a power plant operator in Tuas. You know lah, parents in the past want their kids to study in fields like engineering, so I decided to give it a try and now, almost a decade later, I’d say I’ve become quite comfortable in this industry which is why I decided to stick with it.”

“A lot of the time at work we’re just in autopilot mode to meet other people’s expectations, right? What I really want to achieve this year is inner peace, and to find a balance within myself without caring too much about other people’s judgement.”

“I’ve been with my fiancé, Ian, for close to 10 years now. As cheesy as it sounds, there are rarely any dull moments with him because he always tries his best to make me laugh. We’re getting married soon, so it feels really surreal to start calling him my husband!”

“I’m currently taking a gap year from my full-time marketing work to freelance and have a clean girl aesthetic moment, so I’ve been taking pilates classes, going to the gym, and going for therapy. Basically doing a lot of relaxing.”

“I’m very close to my second sister. I was the saddest little girl when she got married and the house just doesn’t feel the same without her. Even now when we say goodbye after meeting, I get sad because she’s not going home with me.”

“I’m interested in the arts, but I realised that a job as an artist might not be the most feasible for me. Since leading the media team in some of my school's organisations, I’ve gravitated towards the graphic design field so that's what I'd like to pursue.”

“This year, I want to make more time for the things that really matter to me, like my loved ones. My goal is to have one day per week where I’m free from the distractions of work so that I can focus solely on spending time with the people I love.”

“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 got my tattoos done at 18 when I thought it was cool to get tatted like everybody else—ultimate regret! I’m in the process of removing them all because I think I’ll look better with a clean slate in a wedding gown. I’m currently single but a girl can dream.”

“I get a visceral reaction when I see famous artworks, because it feels like I’m meeting a celebrity. When I saw Fountain by Marcel Duchamp, I got the urge to visit all the museums in the world to see renowned art pieces like these in the flesh!”

“I started collecting bird feathers a few years back when I found a huge feather in a park—it was so beautiful with its intricate lining, and I just felt a connection with it, so since then, I’ve been looking out for fallen feathers on my walks in the park.”
