“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 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.”

“I spend most of my time at home, but I wouldn’t say that I’m a homebody, I’m just too broke to do all the things I want to do like rock climbing. I think about the future a lot, and I’m hoping to be self-sufficient and completing university by the time I turn 25—which is in five years.”

“The leaves and vines tattooed around my forearm are a symbol of growth to me. I’m still learning to accept myself and be content, so my plan is to add on to the design once I finally feel like I’m enough.”

“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’ve been experiencing sleep paralysis since I was young, and it worsened in my teenage years which resulted in a fear of sleeping and insomnia. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to prevent it by making use of LED lights, ambient sounds, and an air purifier to create a comfortable environment.”

“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.”
