SHENTONISTA

“Between my main job, my own business, and my hobbies, I don’t have a lot of free time, so I try to be hyper-efficient in everything that I do. I try to make sure I’m functioning at 100% potential.”

“I’m a fan of K-pop, especially the group RIIZE. They recently had a concert here in Singapore that I went for! My bias is Wonbin. Apart from them, I'm also a fan of Twice.”

“All of my tattoos are done in Singapore because I’m too scared to get them done overseas, and most of them are actually done by different artists.”

“I thought the weather in Asia would be worse, but honestly, it’s not too bad, because in Vienna where I’m from, it gets really hot in the summer, about 34 degrees.”

“I’ve picked up blues dancing from two amazing teachers since I’ve been in Singapore. It’s a very niche type of dance, but we basically dance to blues music.”

“These days, I dress in more colourful clothes, because when I wear more colours, I find that I’m more easygoing and smile more!”

“I got tired of looking bad when I was in polytechnic, so I decided to experiment with fashion and tried a whole bunch of stuff, like colours and silhouettes and all.”

“I used to thrift a lot when I was younger, but I was too young to style myself well and looked goofy. Now, I’m clearing out these old pieces and am trying to re-style what I have.”

“My motto in life is a bit cringey… but YOLO! I’m very introverted and I think I’m quite awkward, but I’d say I’m also easygoing and don’t care much for what happens.”

“It’s hard to earn a stable income in the arts, so I want a stable job to sustain my dreams. Eventually, the goal is to pursue arts full time, but now, I just need more money.”

“I'm a facilities executive, and my favourite part about my job is the free food that we get at events! Jokes aside, I also enjoy meeting new hires and interacting with visitors.”

“One of my most meaningful tattoos is the North Star. Mo matter what you do, you just have to find your North Star and keep going towards it, and you will never get lost.”
