SHENTONISTA

“I’m part of an Indian school of fine arts, and am a classically trained singer. I picked my love for music and the arts up from my parents, who were big music lovers.”

“I like to stare at Van Gogh’s paintings. Last October, I attended the Van Gogh exhibition in Amsterdam and spent 15 minutes staring at each of his works.”

“I usually manifest my dreams and things that I want, and I’ve found that the universe really does guide me towards them. So I’d say manifestation works for me!”

“I thought Singapore was a small city with cool buildings and good food, but when I explore smaller residential neighbourhoods in the west and east, I love it even more!”

“I like to change my hair colour every six months. Subconsciously, it might be because I like G-Dragon who’s also well-known for changing his hair colour!”

“I’m a Vietnamese American born and raised in California, but my parents only speak Vietnamese, so conversing with them helps me to stay connected with my roots.”

“My favourite part of Vietnam is Hanoi, the capital. It’s where the body of Ho Chi Minh is, and we are very, very proud of that place as Vietnamese.”

“How to manifest good energy ah? Good question. I’m also trying to figure it out now. I think everything happens for a reason lah. You are what you are.”

“In theatre, I feel like I’m more of a vehicle for others to express their opinions, but with fashion, I feel like I can truly share my own voice with people.”

"I believe that there’s a sun that will rise tomorrow, and that the moon will shine this evening for sure. These are things that I believe because I see and experience them.”

“I grew up playing a bunch of musical instruments, and then grew to love hardgroove and techno. But it’s only been a little over a year since I started DJing!”

“I started incorporating frameless glasses into my outfits recently. People tell me that I look like a lao ah pek (old uncle) in them, but I personally think they’re pretty cool!”
