1.What
is your name and where are you from?
Hiya,
My name is Ginette aka StyraFoam. I'm from $ingapore, and I'm right
in the middle of the rat race.
2. What do you do for a living
and how do you
feel about it?
I'm a web consultant/ web designer by day and a couch potato by
night. I feel that I should be earning more money, I know everyone
says that, BUT I DESERVE TO GET PAID MORE!
3.
If you could live and work (study) somewhere else, where would that
be? Why?
It would
be New York. I love the city (nice place to take black and white
snaps - very romantic), so vibrant, great museums, and Parsons Skool
of Design is there, so is my beloved brother.
4.
What is your Philosophy in life?
"I
only live once, so argghh screw it, I'm going to do it."
5.
What are you really passionate about?
Feminism,
cats, art, my
web site (witness shameless plugging), music.
6.
Where do you derive your inspiration? And why?
From
books I read, movies I watch, beautiful scenery, friends I talk to,
my partner… Generally life itself. Because I think life holds many
exciting adventures.
7.
How do you picture yourself right now?
I would
picture myself in a bondage getup and lots of makeup…
Har har.
No, really, I see myself in a phase of rediscovering my life and my
identity as a single feminist girl living wif her parents (very
Asian, sad but true… u know you save a lot of rent money).
8. How do you see yourself 10
years into the future?
I see
myself in New York with my partner lying down on a patch of grass in
Central Park reading a book, while my cat lies right next to me.
9. How do you define success?
To me,
success is when a person forgets all sadness in her life, when she
stops wanting more and is finally content, and smiles becoz she is
surrounded by all her loved ones.
10.
What is it like living in Singapore?
Very
comfortable, so comfortable that most of us had stopped questioning
the government. But it's picking up again… :D
11.
What is your average day like?
Lots of
food and a lot of pointing and laffing at other ppl. I'm mean that
way. :D
12. What does having an Asian
heritage mean to you?
Chinese/Asian
culture/heritage means that I do and perceive some things
differently from people from other races and that's usually
interesting. I may not have come from China, but I'm definitely
proud of my ancestors and how Ancient China was such a great and
intelligent kingdom. The Yellow Emperor never ceases to amaze me.
However,
$ingapore is a predominantly asian country, so being asian just
means that I'm one of the rest of them.
13. What is your perspective
of Asia, Asians and the Asian culture?
I think
it's sad Asia is at loggerheads with itself. It has the potential to
be such a wonderful place, like it was in history. I also think it's
the Asian ego that has brought Asia to such a state.
14. Your final words for this
interview.
…must…eat…
