“My dream job would be a freelance one which allows me to travel the world. Other things I would like to do are become a movie director, or a Lego designer.”

“Sometimes, I try to coordinate the pieces that I wear so that everything is the same colour. It could be all green, or all blue. It just makes it easier on myself.”

“Slowdive is my favourite artist! I went to their last concert in Singapore even though it was during the fasting month and I hadn’t eaten anything all day.”

“I'm in the midst of starting my own jewellery brand. I’m most proud of is the piece I made for my 21st birthday.”

“I was actor-trained in school, but I found my passion in stage management instead because acting gave me too much anxiety, and also I’m a freaking Chinese girl—I’m not special!”

“I’m studying design communications in school, and right now, we are focusing more on branding and workflows. As much as the struggle has been real in school, it’s worth it.”

“I have many memories of going to the cinema when I was younger and watching Avengers with my family, so watching movies has become a big part of who I am.”

“Art is something I feel more passionate about as compared to the work I’m doing as a PR intern. When I put in the effort in my art, I can see a tangible result from it.”

“One of my classmates bought me a bouncy ball from overseas. We weren’t super close, but she saw it and thought of me as I collect them, so she got it for me, which is so cute!”

“Even though I’m on this engineering path, my passion lies in the creative industry. I cannot see myself sitting at a 9-to-5 job doing something that I have almost no interest in."

"When something is functions as a third space, support isn’t optional. It’s crucial."

“Singapore is so structured and life here tends to follow a set script, so if everyone could just be themselves without the pressure to fit in, life would be more fun and diverse.”
