"What I like about Singapore is the hustle and bustle, I think a lot of people don't like the rigidity of studying or working here, but I do like the 9 to 5.”
“My wife and I strive to be role models for our children with the positive qualities we demonstrate. No one is perfect—we believe in learning and growing together as a family.”
“I believe that for creativity and innovation to truly flourish, we need to cultivate an environment that is welcoming, inclusive, and encouraging of diverse interests and passions.”
“I’ve live Singapore, but I'm originally from the North of Vietnam, where we have all four seasons. One thing I miss is the feeling of riding my scooter around the city during winter and having a hot bowl of pho after.”
“There are a lot of things I’d like to do, but I haven't really got the time to try them out. What I have tried is photography, music, and pottery, which has been on my wish list for a while now.”
“I’m currently training to run a half marathon at the end of the year, so I'm trying my best not to get injured and am actively avoiding activities that would get me get injured.”
“This year, I want to learn to cook nutritious, delicious, and reasonably-priced dishes! I constantly crave fresh, plant-centric meals, but with rising food prices and the issue of food security, it seems the most sustainable for me to prepare them myself with local or regional produce.”
“Family is very important to me. I was very close to my mum before she passed away three years ago—she raised my sister and I as a single parent. Now, my sister has three young sons, and even though I don’t normally like kids, I love being an aunt to my nephews!”
“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!”
