“I’m on a journey of self-love this year, and am looking forward to finding love within myself. It’s something I’ve been lacking for quite a while now, so I’m excited to heal and see what the year has in store for me, and how I’ll handle it all.”

“I love reading, watching films, collecting trinkets, and visiting art exhibitions—basically anything that I’m able to do on my own. I enjoy having time to myself, it’s very therapeutic and also flexible for me as I can explore and go at my own pace.”

“I have a close group of friends that I’ve known for over a decade, and we often travel together, usually after booking flight tickets on a whim whenever there are good deals. Despite us all having our own lives and careers, it’s always nice to spend time with one another and catch up on life while exploring new places."

“I got my love for cooking from my mum, who never fails to make my favourite dishes like chicken curry on special occasions. She actually passed on her recipe to me, but I tried it one time and it tasted so off! But my mum tried to be nice about it and fixed it for me in the end.”

“If I were to describe my personal style in one sentence, it would be ‘Innocent village maiden who is also a love cult leader at night that nobody knows about’. My wardrobe is half girly, frilly and pink, and half black, with a bunch of other colours in the middle, so my style is pretty multidimensional.”

“Since getting married and moving out of my parents’ place, I’ve been missing my childhood bedroom more and more. It was a source of comfort for the homebody in me growing up, and even got me through the whole lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic!”

“In my free time outside of work, I like to go to South Korea for 2-3 weeks at a time to attend concerts. It’s different watching K-Pop artists perform in their home country because they’re more comfortable in a familiar environment and hence enjoy it more."

“When I was at a Louis Vuitton show, I managed to photograph Jasper Liu and he’s honestly the nicest guy! He’s really shy in person and super shuai (handsome). I only had three seconds to shoot him with a heavy camera so I was trying my best not to shake.”

“In my previous job, I worked remotely and was really living the life of a digital nomad. I would spend up to six months at a time in places like Europe or South America. Now, I’m in the process of becoming a Permanent Resident of Singapore and hope to be able to settle down here in the long run, while still travelling the world, of course!”

“I started @strandgal, a small jewellery business, three years ago to go back to my roots of creating tactile art. I really love what I make and seeing my pieces on others, but I don’t wear them myself because it's so paiseh to be a walking advertisement for my brand!”

“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.”

“My children are now 17 and 21. It used to be just us three spending time together but now I hardly see them around. I’m asleep by the time they come home and they’re still in bed when I leave for work, so it gets quite lonely sometimes.”
