We love that full sleeve of cat tattoos! Do you have cats of your own?
I don’t, unfortunately. My mum hates cats and I still live at home, so until I move out, I can’t have one.

That said, I don’t have a dream cat that I’d like to own. I feel like cats are one of those creatures that just walk into your life one day and it’ll be like, “Okay, you’re mine now!” (laughs).

Tell us more about your family. Do you have any siblings?
I do! I have a younger sister, and she actually works in the same company as me currently. It’s not nepotism, I swear (laughs)! We have a a five-year age gap but we’re still super close. But unlike me, she’s a rat person. Well, I don’t want to say she’s a rat person per se, but she really likes them. Maybe fluffy animal person would be a better term, or just an animal person. But I know for sure that she’d own a rat if she could.

Tell us more about what you (and your sister) do for work.
I’m currently a Brand Ambassador for Hendrick’s Gin. My mum has always liked food and drink, so we used to hang out at bars together quite a bit—in fact, I even wrote my university thesis at a bar!

After I graduated, my mum was nagging at me to go get a job. So I was like, “Okay, fine, if I’m not at home maybe she’ll stop nagging at me”. So I started part-timing and bartending at a bar while I was interviewing for corporate jobs, but I grew to like it so much that I ended up staying, and eventually I just found myself working full-time in the industry.

Any bar recommendations?
I think one of my favourites now is a placed called Nighthawk at Tanjong Pagar. It’s really small and the whole team is really, really sweet and really funny. Their Instagram is quite great, too.

How would you describe your style?
Great question, I don’t know! A little bit random; this is my I-have-to-go-exercise-later outfit, so you know, casual t-shirt, but I have to be in the office too so proper bottoms. Otherwise, I like shiny things: glitter, colours. But every now and then I also like the whole black and silver thing. So, I don’t know, a little bit bipolar, I guess. That’s my style.
