Here & Now

The first time we met Audrey she was in a classy, sophisticated navy-blue jumpsuit, but it seems that today’s outfit is a more of a typical look for her. “I usually wear colourful and bright dresses and skirts,” she says. “Generally, looser pieces on Fridays, and more fitted ones on other days of the week.” The last we saw her, she was training to participate in the Tour de Bintan race; with that done and dusted, she’s looking forward to even more triathlons this year. “My husband and I both love sports, and we love travelling for sport.” Her next trip, though with less strenuous activity planned, is to New Zealand in October for her honeymoon. In the meantime, Audrey’s enjoying her work thoroughly, saying that she’s pretty much in her ideal workplace right now. “I have a great boss,” she says. “I think a boss that treats you well when you produce good work is important in any office. A relaxed atmosphere is essential too; you must feel happy to go to work, because you spend almost 9 hours a day there. If you hate it, you’re going to hate your life.” Audrey’s all about living each day at a time, and making the most of what she has. “There are only so many hours in a day, so at one point you need to switch off, go home to your family, and come back fresh the next day,” she advises. “Stop looking for what’s next and how the next 5 years are going to be; enjoy how things are now, because it could be gone in the blink of an eye.”
