“My partner Syahmi and I have been together for two years, and we’ve been best friends for seven years. Everything with him has been amazing. He’s a gentleman, treats me really well, and he knows how to make me laugh all the time.”

“If I could switch lives with someone for a day, I would choose my son Charles. I think it would be amazing to return to that state of innocence and naivety. To experience the world through the eyes of a 2 year old and feel that sense of childlike wonder and love for life.”

“I’m 26 this year, but I feel like my adulthood only truly began last year when I moved to Singapore. Paying rent and bills, and taking good care of myself is only the starter pack to being an adult. The advanced phase is probably when I start becoming a “parent” to my parents.”

“As you can tell, I really like pockets—there are about 17 pockets in this shirt, because it’s a gardener’s shirt, so there are many pockets for tools. I don’t garden though, it’s just convenient to have pockets.”

“Always be open to trying new things, because you never know what’s out there for you, so be daring enough to take these opportunities. I’ve always been a person who makes calculated moves, but some of the best decisions made have always been from just taking a leap of faith.”

“I’m interested in languages, so I started to learn Chinese during the pandemic. It’s very difficult, especially the reading and writing of the language. I’m very amazed by Singaporeans who can speak another language on top of English.”

“As a designer, I think about the reason behind the things that I see—for example, the rationale for pairing certain colours together in a colour scheme. ”

“I believe that the face completes fashion. Brides are most beautiful when they are comfortable and happy from within—it shows on their faces!”

“I’m not taking things for granted anymore and I’m trying to live in the present. The past one and a half years has made me understand the meaning of family time because I couldn’t even see my parents for a period of time due to the social restrictions in place."
