Shentonista Of The Year — Top 10

Here they are: our top 10 Shentonistas of 2016, and your last chance to vote before we announce our winners.

1/ 6 January 2016, Game, Lin.

Lin calls herself a free spirit, and can think of endless things she’d like to be doing if she wasn’t working in her current profession. “Open a restaurant, act on Broadway, join a dance troupe, travel the world, be a museum or art gallery curator, freedom fighter, farmer…You name it, and I’m game,” she says.

2/ 1 June 2016, Subtlety, Reza

Outside of the office, Reza wishes he had more time to pursue his interests in illustration and graphic design, or take a break and travel to other countries like Brazil. “I want to experience their culture, interact with their people, and — to be honest — I think there are more things to do there than in Singapore.”

3/ 15 July 2016, That Certain Something, Grace

Grace has come to believe that at work, personal expression should come from the mind, and what you wear shouldn’t distract from that. “When you’ve got more to offer than a flash of thigh or cleavage (or semblance of it, in my case), you appreciate good design that speaks about you, and not for you. Still, Iris Apfel said it’s better to be happy than to be well-dressed, so I’ve made a recent resolution to be less judgemental of people for what they wear.”

4/ 30 September 2016, Sweet At Heart, Cillia

“The best decision I’ve made was to become a home baker. My favourite thing to make are macarons—I work a lot on customised designs and different-flavoured fillings. Think Pandan Gula Melaka, and Red Velvet with Swiss meringue butter instead of cream cheese!”

5/ 14 October 2016, Her Own Beat, Rebecca

“The best advice I’ve received is to not overthink, because I tend to think too much.”

6/ 17 October 2016, Back On Track, Amanda

“If I could have a special power, I wouldn’t mind being able to fly! I tend to overpack my schedule so flying would get me to places fast.”

7/ 26 October 2016, A Special Touch, Marie

“I run marathons—I started two years ago, it’s something that has actually been on my bucket list— and raise funds for rescue dogs. I’ve always felt that it was my calling to work with dogs. And I got to meet Caesar Milan when he came to Singapore as well!”

8/ 9 November 2016, Pleasantries, Samantha

“I can’t live without black clothes! Today’s beige dress is an exception.”

10/ 21 December 2016, A Fresh Start, Lukas

“I like the creative aspect of bartending—being hands on with the drinks, and the skill that goes into creating them. I also like the hospitality side of my work—I enjoy the crowd, and talking to people. My tattoo is actually of my very first shaker.”
