    Content Creator & Business Owner Ariel Tan

    Thank you so much for having me on SimplySxy and to be given this opportunity to share a little bit more about myself with all of you.

    Hi everyone, I’m Ariel! I am currently a university student pursuing a degree in Bachelor of Business Management in Singapore. I also have a part time job under the hospitality industry that I do tend to work during my free time. Besides, I also own a small e-commerce business selling fashion apparels at The Good and Bad Co. If you’re looking for fashionable apparels you’re definitely in for a treat, feel free to check out my shop at thegoodandbadco.com.

    I do create content on my Instagram as well on a daily basis and I would say I am contented and enjoy what I am doing now. At the moment, I would say I am excited for what the future has in store for me.

    How is your fashion style like and where do you love to shop from?

    I believe fashion style comes from within. It kind of depends on the mood and feeling for me. On some days, I lean towards the chic look and on other days I like to keep what I wear casual. But my go to colours would definitely be black or white. I mean it is sleek and versatile.

    I shop a lot online and I do it VERY VERY often, which is bad because I am running out of space to store them. Other than that I do shop at ZARA, Victoria Secret, SixtyEight, Pull & Bear and Forever 21 once in a while too.

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    I have always been interested in photography and creating content on my Instagram platform. I also enjoy binge-watching crime, horror, thriller, action and romance movies.

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    Personally I feel that the best compliments should be about what’s on the inside, for instance, character, personality, work ethic and empathy towards others. I truly appreciate and believe the best compliment I have received would be when the people around me recognizes the effort I put into the things I commit my time to.

    What are 3 fun sights you recommend to tourists to take in when visiting your city?

    I would say 3 fun sights would be firstly, Botanic Gardens, it’s gorgeous and you’ll absolutely love it if you’re a nature lover.

    Secondly, if you’re looking for a place with good brunch or breakfasts? The cafes along Tanjong Pagar Road are to die for, the all-day breakfasts and coffees are generally insanely good.

    Lastly, a great place to visit for a couple of drinks with a breath-taking view would most definitely be at Mr. Stork, that’s located at Andaz Hotel Singapore. Absolutely love their drinks and snacks and not to mention the view, definitely worth the visit when you’re in Singapore.

    Which are your favorite quotes or mottos you like to use for inspiration?

    A really good friend of mine once told me that “everything happens for a reason and that god has plans for you”, I stand by that quote and believe in that every single time I go through a tough phase in my life. If it doesn’t work, it probably isn’t meant for you and that there are many other routes and choices you could still make.

    Don’t give up, even if the opportunity isn’t there at that moment and it fails you time after time. Just remember, there will always be a rainbow after every storm and everything happens for a reason.

    Would you rather have the power to control objects or animals?

    Personally, I would love to have the power to control objects. In specific, a robot or a machine. I mean how cool would it be, to be able to ask a machine to make a cup of matcha latte for you without having to do anything.

    What turns you off on a date?

    My biggest turn off would be playing games on their phone and talking all about themselves. Don’t get me wrong, sharing about your life is okay but making every topic about yourself and not wanting to know about the other party would be a really sad date.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Ariel. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Being sexy is about being confident with your body and skin. Embracing it without worrying about what others think.

    Yoga Instructor & Entrepreneur Jesq

    My fashion style is mostly freestyle and baggy. I like the kind of feeling of freedom and chill. I guess some inspiration comes from yoga and Hong Kong actresses hahha.

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    I do have. Currently I am very much into metaphysics and also self care interest. Such as eating the right food, tarot cards and numerology, and herbs. 😊

    How will you describe a typical day for yourself?

    I usually start my day at 10am, with breakfast and also read up some news before I start my work.

    My work usually starts around 11am, and will reply to all emails and messages, including any issues for day to day stuffs. And also teaching.

    I end my work around 8pm, and have my dinner around that timing as well.

    At 10pm-11pm, I will read up on some motivational notes, leadership styles, and also my lesson notes.

    12am, I will watch my drama to wind down and I get to sleep around 1am.

    If you can be a fictional character for real, who will you be?

    Oh this is a tough question LOL. Peter Pan!

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to learn but have yet to find the time for it?

    Oh yes, I do have quite a few haha.

    I’ve wanted to learn diving, astrology reading and Ayuverdy therapy too.

    What incredible life hack do you know that is invaluable to you?

    Hmmm so far still none as I find a way for everything, sure there’s some usefulness in it’s own way.

    What is an ideal first date to you?

    Visiting a farmers market, bringing me for nice food, or to a music festival hahaha.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Jesslynn. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Sexy to me is having confidence in yourself.

  • LA Content Creator & Foodie Swoosie Lindeman

    LA Content Creator & Foodie Swoosie Lindeman

    Hi! I’m Swoosie (which is pronounced Suzie)! I come from a mixed race background with Thai, Chinese, and European culture. I’m from the Bay Area but moved to Southern California for college! I went to UC Irvine and graduated with a bachelors in Psychology. Ever since college, I’ve been vlogging my food adventures, travel explorations, and fashion inspirations.

    Some of my favorite hobbies are cooking, designing digital art, playing games, playing with my dog, cosplaying, and hanging out with friends! I love anime, listening to all types of music, stand-up comedy, and memes. I’ll be going to hang out at the beach, cute cafes, and Disneyland! Before the pandemic, I practiced sports such as Taekwondo and bouldering. I also participate in activism for causes that mean a lot to me. I currently own a page and shop online called ShareSelfCare that promotes self-care, mental health, and provides free and affordable resources!

    What is your fashion style and where do you get your inspiration from?

    My fashion style really depends on my mood of the day! Most of the time I like to wear crop tops with jeans or shorts, really long sweaters with boots, and bodycon dresses or skirts.  I love the color pink so you can probably see me sporting an all matching pink outfit! I really like punk rock, soft pastel, comfy, harajuku, and sporty styles which are all so different! One of my favorite outfits are a black leather jacket, black jeans, and long leather boots – kinda greaser style!  I think someone that has similar taste in fashion as me would be Ariana Grande. My style is very cute, sexy, and unique!

    How will you describe a typical day for yourself?

    A typical day in my life would be waking up and setting my intentions for the day. It only takes 60 seconds and really helps to keep track of what I would like to accomplish for the day! After I get out of bed I start cooking breakfast, making a latte, and watching a quick video like Saturday Night Live, Mark Weins, or Fuck That’s Delicious. I love to eat an all American breakfast with eggs, bacon, and toast.

    After that, I start working on my designs for my self-care account, editing or shooting videos for my foodie channel, or marketing and planning content for my social media. I have a bad habit of eating out or ordering takeout, so sometimes for lunch or dinner I may go on a little food adventure. Some days, I also volunteer for a local mental health nonprofit by helping them with grant writing, digital content creation, and social media management. I am also a freelance resume writer since I previously worked in the recruiting industry, so some days I also help edit and recreate peoples’ resumes. I feel like I do a lot of random and varied things now that I think about it!

    At the end of the day I try to relax and self-care by watching some shows, doing my skincare routine, or listening to the podcast On Purpose by Jay Shetty. Before I go to sleep, I write down a list of things I need to do the next day and then I try to meditate.

    Which 3 types of food or drink can you not live without?

    This is so difficult BUT I CANNOT live without Thai food, Italian food, and Japanese food. I love eating sticky rice, rad na, and Thai curry. Yum! I also cannot live without pasta! That is the one food I’m always down to eat. Japanese food is very diverse and I absolutely love takoyaki, croquettes, and sushi! All you can eat sushi is the best!

    What incredible life hack do you know that is invaluable to you?

    I’m a master improviser so I try to problem-solve with creativity. I was making a pizza one day during my broke-college student days, and I realized that I didn’t have a rolling pin for the dough, but I did have a baseball bat. I wrapped part of it in plastic wrap and used it as a rolling pin for the pizza dough. Luckily, my roommate didn’t judge me when she walked into the kitchen. I’m also great at finding the best deals for traveling which might not be a life hack but it sure feels like one.

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to learn but have yet to find the time for it?

    Yes! So many things! I’ve always wanted to learn how to speak Thai but I keep procrastinating and they also do not have it on Duolingo. Currently, I am practicing French and Japanese though. I’d also love to learn an instrument and different coding languages. There’s so many things I want to learn but those are on the top of my list! I’ve just been procrastinating on them.

    If you could time travel, what will you like to witness or experience?

    If I could time travel, it would be into the past to find out the secrets of famous mysteries and world wonders. I’d like to know exactly what Stonehenge was and its purpose. I would also go back a few hundred years into the past to show them the inventions we have now and blow their minds (and perhaps become filthy rich). I would also want to have conversations with famous figures like Cleopatra or the man in the iron mask and be like, “So how exactly were the pyramids built?” or “So who are you actually?”.

    I get nerdy when it comes to history and discovering the greatest secrets! It would be so cool to go back in time to find out! I don’t think I would travel into the future, because I believe we all can change the future through our actions, so there’s no point to me.

    What is a funny attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    When I was in my high school Japanese class, I sat next to a guy who probably had an Asian fetish who asked, “Hey, you’re cute. Where are you from?” I knew exactly what he was trying to ask but I didn’t let him have it. I told him, “I’m from L.A.!” He asked again, “No I mean, where are you REALLY FROM?”

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Swoosie. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Sexy to me isn’t about looks, it’s a mindset. I think that sexy is about having confidence, being your true self, having fun and knowing that you’re a bad bitch. I think it’s very sexy when someone geeks out with a topic they’re passionate about.

  • Hawaiian Tattoo Artist & Entrepreneur Mehana Pilago

    Hawaiian Tattoo Artist & Entrepreneur Mehana Pilago

    I have only tattooed professionally for six months now actually… I’ve grown up in tattoo studios since I could remember, my dad has been a tattoo artist for over 30 years. Now, my brother and I have now become the 8th generation to become tattoo artists in my family.

    When I was younger, my dad always pushed me to tattoo but I never thought I was a good enough artist to do it.  Finally last year, I became more confident in my art since freelancing graphics and illustrations for a few years and decided to go for it, since I lost my normal office marketing job.

    I was so surprised to receive so much bookings and love towards my art from the first few weeks I held my license. I’m so grateful to be able to create art for people to cherish for the rest of their life, and I can’t wait to keep learning and creating.

    Do you have a story to share behind one of your tattoos?

    Most of my tattoos have meaning to me or took place in particular times in my life that I needed some sort of therapy. I really do believe getting tattooed is a therapeutic experience. My tigress on my hand/wrist is one of my favorites, it always reminds me of the power that my right hand particularly holds. Since I use my right hand to draw and work, it is really my most powerful tool. 

    How do you like to spend your free time?

    I love to spend my free time outdoors whether it’s surfing with my boyfriend, family and friends or in the forest exploring with my dogs. I’m so thankful to live in such a beautiful place and I think it’s very important to find inspiration and peace within nature.

    What are 3 fun things you like to do in the city you live in?

    We live in a pretty small town here in Kailua Kona. A few things I love to do are surfing, hiking, and exploring our Island of Hawaii. And I also love going to artisan markets and checkin out all the new small businesses and creatives here. We have so many talented people.

    Are you more of a lingerie or bikini babe?

    Definitely live in a bikini more but I love me some spicy lingerie too!

    Would you rather have the power to control minds or teleport?

    I would definitely love to teleport and experience more of the world and its cultures!

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Mehana. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    I think sexy should not be defined in one word or way. I think being sexy should be about feeling confident in your own skin, feeling smart and intelligent, having a sense of humor, a sense of adventure and always having a good heart and intentions.

  • Philippines Entrepreneur & Model Francesca Paredes

    Philippines Entrepreneur & Model Francesca Paredes

    Hi I’m very grateful for this opportunity to introduce myself. Thank you for having me. To start off, I am a 25 year old model and newbie entrepreneur from the city of Manila. I started modeling at an early age but only did it part time when I was younger because my studies were my top priority back then. My first ever modeling stint was for Baby Magazine then in my adolescent years, I was featured several times in Candy Magazine, a fashion and lifestyle magazine for teens in the Philippines.

    I was able to join Philippine Fashion Week in my college days but when I graduated, that’s when I started transitioning into a social media influencer while doing freelance work. I did event modeling, ad modeling, and club hosting on top of my regular job. I can say that I am a workaholic in my own way. I didn’t like being idle and staying at home so I always made sure that my schedule was packed. During the pandemic, I was able to save enough to start a small online meat business (@meatropolismnl) with one of my high school best friends and that’s where my focus is at as of now.

    What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?

    I think my style adjusts depending on my mood. One day I’m edgy, sexy, and daring, then next, you’ll see me dressed as your typical girl-next-door in florals. But if there’s one thing you should know about me when it comes to shopping, that is I like to thrift shop. Not ashamed of admitting that I love cheap thrills.

    Do you follow a regular workout or beauty regime?

    I do morning yoga and I box at least three times a week. I used to train with Coach Flex, he’s a celebrity trainer and bodybuilding coach who offered workout programs and meal plans to help me get into shape. I do not play with products when it comes to my skin ever since I was diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis.

    I only use Cetaphil to cleanse my face, my regular medications for my skin disease, then I apply clear sunblock with SPF 50 to protect my skin from UV rays. More tips: I always remove my makeup after a long day and use cold water to wash my face to prevent wrinkles and dryness. I also put ice on my face sometimes to get that instant glow.

    How is a typical day like for you?

    I like waking up at 6 so I can enjoy my coffee then start with my morning yoga. Afterwards, I do all of my errands for the day which is mostly online business related (which take hours, by the way) I’d run to the gym if my schedule permits but if not, I shoot and edit the PR kits and products sent by brands.

    I don’t really like going out especially now that we are facing a global crisis. I want to do my part in helping contain the virus. It’s still kind of out of hand in third world countries like the Philippines.

    What have you always wanted to do or learn but have yet to find the time for it?

    I’ve always wanted to learn another language, Mandarin or Nihongo to be exact. I took up French classes back in college but I can only remember the basics so I’m not considering that. Traveling and exploring the world is something I’d really want to do (but my schedule and my bank account doesn’t allow, hahaha) it’s honestly one of my dreams–to become a successful food and travel content creator.

    I believe that there’s a lot of beauty in the world and it would be life-changing to be able to see and experience those wonders in this lifetime.

    Have you been in an embarrassing situation before that is funny now when looking back?

    When I saw a posted video of myself crawling on the streets of Boni High Street after a night out. Cue horror! That was definitely one of my “It wasn’t me, it was Patricia” moments.

    PS, I have a semi-valid excuse for being untamed that night. It was my birthday!

    Would you rather be able to play every musical instrument or master every type of sport?

    I wasn’t a sporty kid back then so I’d rather master every sport. Not only will it help me achieve a good physique, but it will keep me healthy and strong too.

    What turns you off on a date?

    People who are too arrogant, too pushy, or too touchy! I absolutely hate it when people boast about basically everything.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Chesca. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?

    For me, what really makes a person sexy is beyond physical attributes. It’s when he or she takes care of his mind, body, and soul. I also believe being sexy means being confident in your own skin.

    Because when you’re confident it reflects on how you carry yourself, from the way you walk to the way you talk.

    Would you rather have the ability to fly or talk to animals?

    I would definitely choose to fly.

    Which 3 accessories do you always pack in your luggage when you travel?

    Bronzers, lip gloss and lashes.

    “Milk does a body good, but how much milk have you been drinking?”

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Crystallea. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    My definition of sexy is when you care more about who you are inside than the way you look like.

  • Hawaiian Influencer Lace Leilani Rose

    Hawaiian Influencer Lace Leilani Rose

    Aloha! I’m a 22-year-old island girl Influencer based in Molokai, Hawaii. I was born and raised here on the island of Molokai along with majority of my family. I’ve been creating content for about 4-6 years now. I started creating content when I was 16 with a simple YouTube channel giving my personal reviews on beauty products.

    Since then, I’ve posted fashion and makeup content inconsistently for the last few years. But due to COVID, I’ve had the time to create and rebrand my relaunch into social media. You can now find my new content on my Personal Blog, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram weekly!

    What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?

    My mood inspires my fashion style. In the morning I wake up and think “What do I feel like wearing today?” My go-to styles are usually basics and feminine.  If I don’t know what to wear, and I love to be comfortable, I’m usually in a crop top, jeans, and a cardigan where it’s also presentable to be seen in.

    If I’m in a good mood, I find myself drifting to Girl Next Door looks with cute dresses and skirts with the occasional jeans jacket to accessorize.

    On my lazy “I’m not feelings it” days. I find myself wearing a sporty look with a crop top and leggings or even tank/crop top and sweats.

    I love to shop at work! LOL! Let me elaborate on that! So my night job is in retail. I work at the only non-locally owned clothing store on island, Jeans Warehouse. At least 75% of my wardrobe is from Jeans Warehouse.

    I also love to support local! So, if I have a date night I love to shop at Hawaii’s Finest for cute local attire. They also sell men’s clothing which is rare to find on Molokai. I love to be matchy matchy with my couples outfits and if you do too, Hawaii’s Finest is the place to go for local apparel!

    Occasionally I shop at Something for Everybody. Another locally owned store. I shop here for my beach attire like bikinis, pareos, hats, etc. This is the shop that started my influencing business back in 2017. I started by taking pictures in their custom hats.

    How much of a foodie are you and what are your favorites?

    Oh my goodness! For a small 5’1, 108 pound woman, I consider myself a semi-big eater! So yes I’m a foodie! Let me just insert this picture below of me and my other half in our natural habitat!

    I know for sure with almost everything, I need my rice! I’ve heard it’s just a Hawaii people thing. My go to snack is a razzleberry peace tea, spam musubi, and red lihing mui seed!

    What content do you love to create and how do you decide?

    At the moment I love to create makeup plus fashion videos. I’m obsessed with the transition from my normal everyday look to something stylish, trendy and my face looks on point! One of my coworkers watches my content and she comments, “I really wanna meet her! She’s pretty!” But sadly, I don’t wear my makeup and outfits in public but one day maybe she’ll get to meet my alter ego!

    I decide what content to create based on the latest trends I see on Instagram or TikTok. If I don’t like any of the trends I see, I’ll create content based on the holidays/occasion for the month. For my makeup looks specifically, I like to pick colors that compliment my brown eyes.

    Do you believe in any superstition?

    I guess you can call me superstitious. There’s a few I live by regularly. For example, if my nose itches like crazy, I believe someone new is walking into my life. This person can either be someone from my past paying me a visit to rekindle our friendship or someone completely new I’ve never met before. But that’s just one of the many superstitions I live by!

    Are there any quotes or mottos you like to use regularly?

    Yes! I took a leadership course two semesters ago and this is what I live by with everything I create and everything I am. That uncomfortable feeling when you try something new? Yeah embrace it! We want to take risks, we want to inspire, and we do this by embracing vulnerability!

    It keeps me going when I feel discouraged or judged in this industry. This quote also mentions what to look for in people you surround yourself with. You want to surround yourself with people that will encourage you to be the best version of yourself.

    If you could learn anything in this world, what will it be?

    If I could learn anything, it would be how to style my hair! Thats a struggle for me! I have unruly Hawaiian Curls and hair for three people. It’s a struggle to manage, so majority of the time, my hair is up in a bun, ponytail, or down.

    What do you not get about guys?

    Where do I even start…. There’s a lot I don’t get about guys and I’ve been living with one for over four years now! Women really do compliment men in my opinion. When I first moved in with my other half in 2017, he lived like a bachelor with absolutely no taste. The house was empty and had no personality. How was he living like that?? I have no idea!

    But when I moved in I added curtains, and color coordinated everything to a nice grey, added some new furniture to match the house, and more! I know some guys have taste but the ones I’ve come across really don’t. In some places men lack and where they lack, we women make up for it.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Lace. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    To me sexy is confidence. Whether you’re showing skin, covering up, no face on, or face on as long as you have confidence in how you look for the day you’ll be sexy!

  • Influencer, Entrepreneur & Actress Vanna Garcia

    Influencer, Entrepreneur & Actress Vanna Garcia

     It is a pleasure to have this feature as well.

    First, I am Vanna Garcia-Kaw, I am a mother of three beautiful boys. I started out my career way back in the early 2000’s where I became an actress to star in a youth-oriented show called TGIS. I continued on to showbusiness until about 10 years ago when I decided to call it quits since I had a second child on the way and I wanted to focus on my family and my studies. I took up Interior Design from PSID and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in College of Saint Benilde.

    Since then, I have been juggling family work and career along with being active in the social media circle as an influencer for beauty, fashion and lifestyle. Right now, since I am also into self-care and beauty we also opened a skin care studio called First Bloom Lasers and Infusions which we launched last 2019!

    Where do you love to shop from and what inspires your fashion style?

    I like to shop in several places. It really depends where I find something I like. Some of my favorite places to look is in ZARA, MANGO and COS. I also like to get clothing from some local brands like Unif0rm, Topstop, Mosaic.

    My style really revolves around classic, elegant, basic and minimalist styles. I like to be comfortable and at the same time chic and stylish in what I wear in clothes that can stand the test of time.

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    Well, I recently just found out that I love to watch K-dramas. Listening to music really gets me in the mood or relaxes me. I also love scents!

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    Many would reach out to me and tell me that they admire how I can juggle work, have three boys and still look relaxed, fresh and composed!

    Would you rather have superhuman speed or control objects with your mind?

    Control objects in my mind.

    What 3 fun things do you love to do in your city?

    Eat good food, shopping, and firing!

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?

    10, I love food!

    What turns you off on a date?

    Someone arrogant who talks about himself all night long!

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Vanna. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Being sexy isn’t your shape or how your body looks. Being sexy is in the attitude. How confident you are to speak your mind and be in your own skin.

    My inspiration for fashion comes from the Los Angeles culture. The freedom to dress however you want with no judgement has placed me in the confidence to wear any kind fashion. I love to shop in pop up stores that are coming up with new brands, and nothing feels better than supporting new businesses.

    Do you have a lifestyle or fashion hack that you can’t live without?

    I love keeping my clothes with no wrinkles and have it look as sharp as much as possible. I definitely don’t like tucking anything in so rubber bands is a hack to making a shirt look tucked in without actually tucking it in. 

    Which 3 things do you enjoy doing most in the city you live in?

    I love visiting the beaches and just laying out to read book. Next, I love discovering new restaurants. Lastly, the museums are always a great place for inspiration and relaxing place to go back in history to enjoy the greats.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?

    I am a 10.

    If you can have a super power, what will it be?

    I would say, to read books faster. More knowledge is more power, and that is a pretty good superpower to have.

    What kind of music are you into and do you have any favorite artists?

    My favorite music genre is hip-hop. I can use some 2pac, Nipsey Hussle, Common, etc.. 

    What do you not get about guys?

    I don’t understand how they can treat a good women so terribly and be okay with it.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Kimberly. One question before we end, how do you define”sexy”? 

    Sexy is defined being confident within your own skin.

    Hello everyone who is reading this! I’m Lynette, 21 years old this year, a Malaysian Chinese. I’m currently a university student pursuing my Degree in Veterinary Medicine overseas. Still in my third year of degree, and will be graduating in another three years.

    What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?

    I love getting ideas and inspiration from other KOLs and models as they have really good taste regarding fashion wears, as well as some of my friends. Not quite sure how other people think of this but I do always ask for my mother’s opinion too. My mother has a great sense of fashion and she is very stylish. Some of her clothes are even better than mine and yes, I’ll take her clothes to wear at times.

    Usually, I’m more towards the cool styles than the elegant styles. However, I do try on different fashion styles to see if I can handle them well. Lately, I’m trying for sweet looking instead. I get my clothes from a variety of sources including Shopee! I was afraid of online shopping for clothes because the sizes, materials, and cuttings are very unpredictable. Since the pandemic has begun, I have lesser opportunities to go shopping so I tried out online shopping and found some likeable dresses. Despite some that came with S size but are still too big for me, they are actually quite acceptable.

    Before online shopping, I get my outfits from stores like H&M, Mirrorcle, Forever 21, MPSY, etc., personally preferring Korean clothing stores.

    Do you follow any beauty regime regularly?

    Basic: Facial cleanser is a MUST. I couldn’t imagine myself without facial cleanser. Well, I do apply toner and moisturizer day and night but I get lazy or sometimes even forgot about it hahaha. Also, I don’t like the sticky sensation on my face with my specs gliding down the whole time. Usually, I’ll apply light soothing gel in the day, only applying moisturizer at night.

    Another routine that I do is applying facial masks. I love putting on facial masks and sitting back to relax at night. People who know me definitely see me as the ‘Mask Queen’ as I always post my mask-time to my IG story. Once in a few weeks, I’ll have my face scrubbed to exfoliate my skin. A lot of girls apply sunscreen before going out, and I do understand that is to protect our skin from UV ray but I don’t have that habit and always forget about it. I got some lectures from my friends for not applying sunscreen though hahah. I’m still trying to change that.

    I don’t make up a lot even though I have most of the cosmetic stuffs with me. The most acceptable parts for me are lipsticks and eye makeup, for frequent usage.

    Which cuisine or type of food do you like most?

    I love all types of cuisine to be honest. I love Chinese food, Malay food, Indian food, Japanese food, Western food, Korean food, etc. One of my favorites is Sambal Petai with squid! Many people do not like the pungent smell of Petai but that is exactly what I love about it. For me, my mom cooks the best Sambal Petai, I can’t find any restaurants having this dish cooked as delicious as my mother’s.

    I love salmon sashimi if you’re asking me about Japanese food. I can have tons of them if I’m given the opportunities. Sushi and Temaki work great for me as well. Soft shell crab handroll is the best oh my god. It’s been a long while since I last had it. I can be picky at food, like I only prefer carbonara spaghetti and don’t accept Bolognese.

    I’m a dessert person because I love sweet stuffs a lot. Cotton candy is one of my favorites, even the ice cream flavor in Baskin Robbin I’ll choose their cotton candy flavor. Macarons, chocolate chip cookies, yoghurt ice cream, cheese cakes, apple pies, damn I’m starving already. Anyway, coming home to the smell of home-cooked food wins any other outside food. 

    If you could time travel, what will you like to witness or change?

    I believe in fate and that everything is going on like how it should be. Everything happens for a reason. If it’s good, it’s good; if it’s bad, it’s an experience, just do your best in the present. Don’t call me a philosopher alright, I’m just always holding the positive vibes in me ahha. Anyway, I would still love to travel back to the old days to have some memory flashbacks, and might as well travel into the future to see what’s going to happen to me, to the people I care, to everyone.

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do or learn but yet to find the time for it?

    I have a lot of interests in almost everything. Okay that’s a bit exaggerating but I do have many hobbies. Piano is my instrument, with guitar and ukulele as the side instruments. I was planning to get my diving license and do my internship in Sabah Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre in June or July 2020. However, the pandemic messed up the plans so they’re still in my pending. I’ve written my to-do-lists in my planner, hopefully to achieve them one day.

    I wanna have a backpack tour with one or two friends around Asia, that’s when I’m allowed hahah. The urge to travel is so strong watching the different countries from dramas, documentaries, or even my reference books. One of the countries I would love to travel to is Holland, getting the urge from this Hong Kong drama named ‘Blue Veins’. Travelling needs time and money at which I do not have yet. Also, going to Africa for an internship or work is included. You have no idea how much I wish I was there whenever I watch documentaries of wild animals in Africa. Hyenas, African Wild Dogs, Lions, Jaguars, too fascinating. I’m a veterinary medicine student if you’re wondering why do I have things so much related to animals.

    Coming back to my short-term to-do-list, I would like to learn aerial yoga, to be the volunteer of Sea Turtle Research Unit in Terengganu, to have dance classes from any proper dance studio (Yea, I never get to learn modern dances from studio, all self-learnt only, but I love dancing). Too many things to learn, too many things undone.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a superstitious person are you?

    I guess I would say a 7. I’m a Buddhist, grown up in a quite superstitious family. I believe in god, spirits, as well as ghosts LOL. I’m scared of ghosts okay.. I’m not the type of person that believes too much in ‘FengShui’ or ‘Pantang’ (my parents do hahahah) but I give my respect to god statues or pictures, scriptures, as well as the rules in temples, you know, like removing my cap before entering the temple, or not to point at god statues with the pointing finger but your thumb.

    My parents actually spent money to get our entire family’s Chinese names changed, including mine. Personally, I do not like my new Chinese name and prefer the old one so I would just introduce myself as Lynette instead.

    What do you not understand about guys?

    It really depends on the character and personality. Guys can be complicated at times, or I should say humans can be complicated in fact. I’m not that good at determining the intention of a person, that I need to seek for opinions from the others. I often think that one’s approach is just casual and unintentional but they will end up to be something else that I didn’t believe before.

    This actually applies to both girls and guys though. My friends say I’m a unicellular creature because I hardly realize what is actually going on. I don’t understand the signals sometimes or I just missed it and didn’t get it at all. Whether it’s about relationship or social signals, I’m weak at both.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Lynette. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?

    When the word sexy comes into the mind, pretty sure many would think of outfits that are revealing. I would define sexy based on both the physical appearance as well as the personality of that person. Confidence often makes one to look better and sexier.

    Besides, attitudes can really change how a person looks like. For me, I find sporty and kind-hearted guys more charming and attractive. For instance, looking at a guy that does not like animals, or a guy that loves animals, the second one wins.

    Last but not least, thank you SimplySxy for the interview!
