“If I could be any kind of material, I’d want to be pillow cotton—I’d want to represent rest and comfort.”

“I’d love to live in Back To The Future. The thought of being able to travel through time, and using a time machine rigged to a DeLorean is every secret geek’s dream come true.”

“I'd love to have dinner with Kanye West. He’s erratic and philosophical all at the same time, and I just want to know what’s behind his thought process.”

“The most exotic place I’ve been to would be Russia. I really liked the culture, and it was my first time seeing falling snow. I rolled naked in the snow too!”

“I’d love to see a kitty-puppy Frankenstein hybrid. Society will no longer need to be divided on whether you’re a dog or cat person—you can be both and get the best of both worlds!”

“Every time I take a Grab ride, I end up with weird stories. The last GrabHitch I took, the driver told me I shouldn’t sit in the back seat because he just had sex on it.”

“I spent most of my life in other countries, but my entire family is here and now that I have Javier and Amelia, Singapore’s home to me.”

“My role models in life are my parents. They’ve always set an example for me in the way they do things, and taught me about trust.”

“I read a lot, and I’ve been able to do that a lot more now that I live in Singapore, because I travel by bus more than by bicycle, which gives me more time to read.”

“My comfort foods are a good bowl of mee pok, with chilli and lard, nasi lemak, and chicken rice—I’m a home-grown boy at heart.”

“I have more fun in my style choices now than I did at 25, and I’m more daring than when I was younger. If not now, then when?”

“One piece of advice I’d give my younger self would be to mind my health, and always take care of myself.”
