“A quote I live by is: live, laugh, love.”

“If I could be someone in a movie, I’d live as Mija from Okja, which is an amazing movie about friendship with a pet. I have a dream to live in the countryside after I retire.”

“I’d start off an ideal weekend by flying my remote-controlled helicopter.”

“I have great memories of my time as a student at the University of Chicago, and especially miss the days when my only care in the world was reading George Orwell in Harper Library.”

“If I had a million dollars, I would travel the world, for sure. I’d start a cat rescue shelter too. I feel that there’s a lack of nicely-built cat shelters here in Singapore.”

“There’s a good balance between business and greenery here, which I think is the most attractive thing about Singapore.”

“I spend my free time with my two kids, and I cook—I like to experiment with recipes. My favourite way to cook is to sous-vide things.”

"I can smell scents, such as something burning or the fragrance of flowers, in my sleep, during dreamtime."

“My favourite Singlish phrase is wah lao eh!”

“I’d ask for petrol and go on countless night drives if someone were to offer me an unlimited supply of one thing.”
