SHENTONISTA

“I mainly spend my weekends in my clothing store Upstairs Garments. My partner Vegas and I run it alongside our two friends, but we’ll sometimes get sidetracked and start nerding out about fashion and DJing.”

“I’ve live Singapore, but I'm originally from the North of Vietnam, where we have all four seasons. One thing I miss is the feeling of riding my scooter around the city during winter and having a hot bowl of pho after.”

“In my job in social media, sometimes it feels that you’re subconsciously making choices and are not really present, so I try to spend time in nature as much as I can to get a sense of myself.”

“I like listening to music and just walking around, exploring new spaces. Sometimes, I walk around HDB estates to find a nice spot to sit and chill. I do enjoy those slower, quieter moments a lot.”

“I love travelling, but I don’t really make any plans when I travel. Usually, I'll just book a flight ticket and accommodations, and end up exploring, wandering around, and trying new stuff wherever I end up.”

“There are a lot of things I’d like to do, but I haven't really got the time to try them out. What I have tried is photography, music, and pottery, which has been on my wish list for a while now.”

“I’m currently training to run a half marathon at the end of the year, so I'm trying my best not to get injured and am actively avoiding activities that would get me get injured.”

“As immigrants in California, my family and I cook a lot of Filipino food at home. My favourites are adobo, which is a flavourful chicken or pork stew, and dinuguan, a pork blood stew also known as chocolate meat.”

“Being a new parent is both exciting and stressful at the same time. Our daughter Audi is quite the Daddy’s girl, so I’m hoping our next child, when we do have one, will be a Mummy’s boy!”

“I’m a very sporty person and exercise practically everyday! I run five to six times a week, gym three times a week, and swim three times a week.”

"I run a little fashion business with my friends, designing modern qipaos, contemporary tops, and everyday wear using Chinese silk, but I’m also planning to start blogging and documenting my travel adventures."

“I have two Holland Lop rabbits, the ones with the droopy ears that are super cute! My wife and I are considering getting more animals, but having two is already quite a headache to manage.”
