“When I mail stuff to my penpals, I don’t just send them letters—I sometimes include things like sweets and tea, as well as postcards from my own overseas trips.”

“I’ve been living in Singapore for 15 years, but I go back to my hometown in Thailand every month because I always miss my family. Thankfully it’s not too far away, so it’s easy.”

“Walking six kilometres every day is no easy feat, but it’s all about discipline. I’m committed, and my family supports me, so I never fail to go for my walks.”

“I did a three-day tour of the Ha Giang Loop in Vietnam. It goes steep down, and there are many narrow streets. The weather wasn’t that good either, but it was so nice.”

“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.”
