“To me, beauty comes from the heart. I think regardless of how you look, if you have a good heart and are beautiful on the inside, it will radiate and show in your outer self as well.”
“My long-term goal as an artist is to publish a comic of my own. It’s so easy to do so these days, even without a traditional art school background! So once I have a well-thought out narrative and everything, I'd like to publish my own comic. It's still in the works, so no further comment!”
“I’m currently learning Japanese but I also want to pick up Korean, Italian, Spanish, French, Bahasa Indonesia, and American Sign Language, and also brush up on Mandarin. My dream is to be a polyglot, to be able to speak languages at a conversational level to connect with people.”
“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 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.”
“I just moved into a new studio with my girlfriend. My goal is for it to be a big open space where I can showcase my illustrative works and things I like to surround myself with, and hopefully one day when it’s done, I can invite people over to share it with.”
“I love travelling—one of my favourite places to visit is Melbourne, Australia, though I don’t get to travel there as often as I’d like to. I just love the vibes, the people, the thrift scene, and the local art and design markets there.”
“I always go to Peninsula Plaza to eat Burmese food, especially with rice. It’s my favourite place in Singapore because there are always a lot of Burmese people there. I also like to cook all kinds of food—Singaporean, Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Thai.”
“To me, the perfect way to relax is just spending whatever down time I have with my friends, having conversations, and not doing anything in particular. My friends are my chosen family, so it’s always nice to have them around.”
“I work at AS'FALL, a fashion boutique along Haji Lane! I love the warmth and soul of the place, and of the people too. When I first joined the company, I didn’t even need to be introduced to anyone as I was quickly able to become acquainted with our neighbours.”
“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.”
