SHENTONISTA

“I want to pursue a career in fashion, but the industry in Singapore is very small and competitive. So I'll get a job here first to save up, then find a job overseas.”

“Whenever people ask me if there's a quote I live by or what my life motto is, I always say, “I want to be sexy, free, and single.” That's all, that's my life motto!”

“My favourite place in Singapore is the toilet at Bras Basah MRT. They have steel panels that are grey and black, which really speaks to the brutalist in me.”

“I love dressing up for Halloween, though I haven’t decided what I’m going as this year. Maybe the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland or Marie from The Aristocats?”

“I have four older siblings, all of whom are now married. Though I’m an auntie, I’m close in age to my 11 nieces and nephews, so I have a lot of memories growing up with them.”

“The motto that I live by is: Happy can already! We can spiral for one hour, two hours, but let's not make it one week, let's do other things!”

“I once danced in a music video shot in the National Gallery. There were 28 of us dancing in heels on the stairs, and even though it was out of my comfort zone, I loved it 100%!”

"I was always a creative kid. My mum didn't place much emphasis on my grades—she just wanted me to be as expressive as possible, and has always been supportive of me.”

“My style icon has to be Erykah Badu! I like that she experiments with her style and also puts her music into what she wears, which is very interesting.”

“My wife and I strive to be role models for our children with the positive qualities we demonstrate. No one is perfect—we believe in learning and growing together as a family.”

“Now that I have the time to explore Singapore proper, I’m keen on trying the satay here to see how different they are from the ones we have in Thailand.”

“Once, my customer couldn't decide what colour she wanted to dye her hair, so she chose to dye it like a rainbow—literally a bit of  every colour that she wanted!”
