Treasure Hunter

Dinosaur alert! It’s not everyday that you see one in the business district. Yvette gleefully divulges that she scored this smiley dino sweater from ASOS at a bargain. “I love shopping and I’ve quite a knack for bargain hunting, especially online,” she shared. “If you look hard enough, even heartland wet markets have really cool stuff.” Quite the sentimental soul, Yvette mentioned a few treasured memories of hers in our conversation, such as her favourite band, Mogwai. “It’s special for my husband, Kev, and I. Their second gig in Singapore was the first concert we attended together,” she reminisced. Her favourite song though, is by Call and Response. “The song ‘Rollerskate’ reminds me of my childhood; I learned that even before swimming or cycling.” As for her preferred dinner date, Yvette would love to share a frozen yoghurt pop with Kelly, her long-haired chihuahua that passed away six months ago. “We had 17 years of companionship; we kinda grew old together.” She now looks forward to kopitiam dinners with Kev (whom we featured yesterday), calling themselves creatures of habit. “If we find something we like to eat, we order the same exact thing every single time, it’s very comforting.”
