“I can put on my eyeliner when I’m on-the-go, even on the bus.”

“The one thing I can’t live without is heels. I need heels because I’m short, and heels help people to look at me at eye level! I don’t want to be looking up all the time.”

“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.”

“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!”
