“I try to live a lifestyle where there's a good proportion of hard things that I do to a certain ratio of comfort, you know. I feel like too much comfort kills you.”
“I used to do theatre, public speaking and debate, and I also majored in Psychology. Pursuing a Master's in Speech and Language Pathology seemed like the perfect marriage of all my interests. It's really meaningful work, and I'm very excited to start!”
“My favourite part of my internship is getting to take on different shows. We’re currently working on the Asian Youth Theatre Festival, which is a youth theatre programme that happens every year.”
“I’m in love and very passionate about Tadao Ando's works, which are mostly churches and religious spaces. I'm not religious myself, but when I see his work, it makes me feel very much in awe.”
“I’ve been getting into lace and making toploaders, and I love ita-bagging! A lot of people in Singapore are becoming more accepting of this kind of style, so I really wanna try it out!”
“I hope that, when local films make it big and win international competitions, it inspires a lot more people to actually chase that dream. If you’re really willing to learn and put in the hours, then chase that dream.”
“I love to learn. I think my hobby is to learn and to waste my time on new activities, and to try to do something that I haven’t done before. I’m always bouncing around.”
“I really like ceramics! I just happened to apply to NAFA when I found out they taught ceramics there, and became interested in it again. I really like the motion of doing it.”
“I’m from Tianjin in China. It’s my second day here, I just arrived yesterday! So far I have been to the Old Singapore Police Station, and I’ve also tried the local McDonald’s, although we have that in China too.”
“I was onboard a ship for six months for my internship, and it taught me that you really have to be independent, mentally, physically, and emotionally. You have to plan ahead and make sure that you get enough rest.”
“I’ve been thinking about failure therapy, where you go around and try to purposely get rejected. Then you’ll realise, ‘What! It’s all in your mind!’ Mental fortitude, gang!"
“If I had the time, I would like to travel somewhere far, far away—somewhere I know absolutely nothing about, just to see what life is like there and discover what that place has to offer.”
