Made With Joy

Introduce yourself!
My name is Time, and I’m going to study Law and Sociology at Guildford University in the UK!

We love your outfit! Is this how you usually dress?
Howl’s Moving Castle. Hands down. I love all the Studio Ghibli stuff.

Since you love Studio Ghibli, have you been to the Ghibli museum in Japan?
I would say I usually wear more of a cottage core style, with lots of maxi skirts and sundresses.

I’ve been getting into lace and making toploaders, and I love ita-bagging! A lot of people in Singapore are becoming more accepting of this kind of style, so I really wanna try it out!

Cool! Did you make your own ita-bag? Who’s on it?
This was done in a rush today because I was trying to change my bag before I went out! This is my oshi (favourite character), Saki Tenma from Project Sekai. I really love decorating my stuff with lots of different charms—all these crafts bring me a lot of joy.

What other hobbies do you have?
My lifelong hobby is actually music. I can sing and play a lot of instruments, like the keyboard. I picked up guitar in the last couple of years too, learning the tabs and all that stuff. I also play Chinese orchestra instruments!

You mentioned you also enjoy going to anime conventions. Do you do cosplay then?
I do frequent conventions a lot! But I didn’t this year as I was really busy… I cosplay a big range of characters, but I mainly enjoy game characters and the occasional anime ones. I’m currently sewing my own costume, which is a uniform from Witch Hat Atelier.

What are you looking forward to for the rest of 2026?
I think I would like to finish up this year with a blast. This year has been really good to me and I really hope this streak can continue on!
