SHENTONISTA

Throughout this week, you’ve heard from Grace, Lisa and Sherlin in their own words; today, we’re bringing you a new perspective of our Shentonista Mothers from those who know them the best—their children and loved.

"When I made the decision to become a mum, I told myself that it was going to be the most important thing I was to embark upon, so I had to do it right, in my own way."


“The unknown parts of the parenthood journey can be so daunting, but it’s about realising that even when other people give you advice, you ultimately have to do things your way."


“When you’re young, you want to be like your mother. When you’re a teenager, you avoid trying to become your mother. But when you become older, you realise you are becoming your mother.”

“I’m in recruitment, and it’s always rewarding to help people get their dream jobs.”

“If I had an extra hour every day, I’d spend it writing or sketching.”

“I’m a sum of very different yet equally important identities, and they come out through my accents.”

The WFH fashion guide, to tide you through the the chaos of the current time.

“Inspiration can come from anywhere—it’s limitless.”

“I might have been a chef: I might not be a good cook, but I’d make good-looking food.”

“Everything’s a little funnier and better when you look at it through the lens of nostalgia.”

“I recently put up a play titled Rumah Dayak, which talks about how different people can come together to build a home.”
