SHENTONISTA

Despite the impending long-haul flight home to London after a brief transit in Changi Airport, Aabdul believes in always looking presentable.

Meaning behind my tattoo: That’s a treble clef. I’ve played the piano ever since I was 9. My sister picked it up…

“I can’t live without my kids.”

“I enjoy secretly taking pictures of those I love. I actually have a lot of sneaky shots of my friends that they sometimes don’t know of.”

We like how these outfits reflect the vibrancy and hope of a year that's still young.

Childhood pastime: Growing up on a farm in South Africa, far away from big cities, you had to keep yourself entertained. But…

“If I could do anything I wanted to do, I’d be a travel journalist or I’d be an interviewer for Shentonista!”

“I'm kind of an introvert, although people who don't know me very well would say otherwise. I love spending time at home cooking, or baking for my family and friends.“

“I didn’t always want to be a Data Analyst. I studied something completely different—management maths.”

“My favourite animal is the manatee, I think they’re really cute and unique.”

“I like the nature of my job. Every day is different, every day is a challenge, and it’s very active. I’m never just seated down the whole week.”

There’s no denying that the peplum is a look that’s here to stay.
