“I get very anxious when I’m alone, so I’m trying to spend more time by myself because legit nobody cares. So far, I’ve gone shopping alone a few times and I’ve even tried eating alone, which was very scary. But again, nobody cares!”

“I'd say I’m an anti-fashionista in a sense, since I like to go against popular trends and fast fashion. Instead, I’ve been practicing sustainable fashion by thrifting and upcycling unused clothes. This way, I can save money and create my own identity with my unique dressing!”

“I’m a sucker for art, so in a sense, taking it as a subject for ’A’ Levels lets me pursue my hobby and studies at the same time! For my coursework, I’m planning to delve into fashion, which is new to me, so I really need to improve on my sewing skills this year.”

Being alone is inevitable, but I’m terrified of being by myself forever. I’ve been trying to overcome this fear by taking the aspect of eternity away and gradually spending more time alone. Besides, I’ve had to sit with my thoughts a lot as a writer, and it’s given me more clarity and perspective in life for sure.”

“I used to want to be a YouTuber when I was younger, but did a 180 when I dabbled in creative coding in my school’s InfoComm Club and decided to do a double degree in Media Arts and Computer Science. They might seem like two ends of the spectrum, but they’re actually quite similar in nature, because with the technology we have now, it’s only natural to use new tools to create art.”

“At 22, I’m starting to feel the pressure of growing older as my 25-year-old brother just got married. I do want my parents to see my children grow up, but I still have a lot more that I want to achieve and explore before I finally settle down, so I’m not in a hurry.”

“I’m studying Culinary and Business Management in Republic Polytechnic, which used to be something I was passionate about. Sadly, due to the stressful environment, I’ve lost interest in pursuing it professionally. Maybe I’ll try something related to food science, or even enrol in fashion school next.”

“I have lots of hobbies, one of it being fishing. When I fish, I use artificial lures to mimic baitfish and entice a bigger catch, which is a lot more thrilling. I first fished back in 2008 on my last holiday with my dad, who has since passed. That underlying connection to my father is what has kept this hobby so close to me.”

“I’m from Lyon, France, and I’m taking a gap year here in Singapore before deciding what Masters Degree I want to pursue. I’ve been here for three months, and I love the food here. In France, I used to eat a lot of spicy Asian food, so it’s not really new to me. And I used to be a vegetarian, but I have to say satay is the best thing I’ve eaten here.”

“I currently run a home-based stuffed brownie business, which I started back in 2019, because in school, we need laptops, so I started selling brownies to raise funds for a MacBook. Later on, baking really grew on me, and it’s since become my passion.”

“When I was in primary school, I used to play the trombone quite often, because I was in the school band, but I stopped after I entered poly because I wanted to try something new. I have since picked up crocheting from my mum, and am now looking to get better at it—I made this mask chain myself!”

“I’m from Paris. I would say that it’s quite different from Singapore, in the sense that some places are a bit more dangerous that others. I definitely recommend not going to the North of Paris, because that’s what people would usually consider more dangerous, and it’s usually less pretty as well. The other places in Paris are pretty nice though!”
