“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.”

If you’re tired of the usual backpack, duffel, or messenger bag, it’s not true that men are limited by the options that they have.

“My favourite comfort food is Vietnamese cuisine. Even my food preferences are Asian!”

“I can speak five languages—English, Malay, and a bit of Mandarin, Korean and French, which I’m not very fluent in.”

“I’m a very creative person—I paint a lot and I love taking my camera around. I love to capture everything from emotions and feelings to skyscrapers in the city.”

“My favourite foods are mac and cheese and Punggol nasi lemak, which I haven't eaten for a very long time because I’m on a wedding diet!”

“I’m lucky to have figured out what I wanted to do in life at a younger age, and ever since then I've been working hard towards achieving  my goal of turning my passion into my job.”

“A “useless” talent I have is skimming rocks. It’s all in the fingers—that’s the trick to get the rock further.”
