Month: September 2016

I saw Tuscany in a travel documentary on TV when I was still in secondary school, way before the time of the Internet and social media. I was amazed at how beautiful the place was, and I told myself that I’ll take my future wife there some day…

Most people would not bother because they feel that it is but a “temporary arrangement”, but I’ve learnt from years of living in rented apartments that if you aren’t willing to spend a bit more to make a place feel like home, you’ll always feel dissatisfied somehow…

Performing on stage makes me feel honest, and it’s easy to express myself there. It has helped me in building my self-confidence and killing off the anxiety of meeting new people…

I would have loved to live in different cities in the world. I wasn’t in hurry to do any grown up things like settling down. While I was becoming this person, 2015 happened. My mom passed on exactly a year ago; she lost her battle to lung cancer…

Ideally, I want to be like doing my own thing obviously, like publishing a book, touring the world as a musician, making funny films, doing stand-up comedy and whatnot…

Some people buy them for the sake of selling, but I’m a genuine fan of collecting them. Financially, it’s not a cheap hobby. For a man with his own family and two kids to raise, you really have to manage your finances well…

It’s only now that my makeup’s of a decent standard that I’ve slowly built up the confidence to play Harley Quinn. She’s always been one of my favourite DC characters…

I chose the Joker because I wanted to reach new grounds with my makeup. Some cosplayers wear masks; those can be recycled. But when it comes to makeup, you don’t always achieve that same look that you want. I personally feel it’s an art form…

I used to not like the character because she felt a bit outdated, but the way Gail wrote Diana is a lot more dynamic. She’s not just this goody two-shoes or this strong and empowered woman. Gail made her a lot more complex…

Why Hawkgirl? She’s been my favourite character for a very long time; I guess I’m just attracted to characters with wings. But more than that, she just feels very “me”…

I’m cosplaying Abby from Ghostbusters today. After it was announced that the Ghostbusters movie would feature an all-female cast, I kinda felt represented. The characters come in all shapes and sizes, and that’s empowering…

Even though I’m no longer a nurse or flying, I feel like both experiences have helped me in my current role. I gained medical experience through nursing and developed good PR skills through being an air stewardess…

I’m now in this situation where if I’m overseas for work, I want to come home sooner, but when I’m home, I can’t wait to fly off again. I guess I just got accustomed to this lifestyle….

We wanted a very unconventional wedding with a practical way to cut down the guest list, so we decided to have it in Phuket. It turned out to be a great idea because we got to have the relatively small wedding that we wanted plus all the frills…

I started wearing the hijab only after my mother came back from her Mecca pilgrimage in December last year. She used to nag at me to wear it all the time, but I’d just roll my eyes and pretend to be watching TV; I just wasn’t ready…
