THE OPINION PIECE
DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN ONE SENTENCE.
An advocate for legroom in all things.
WORLD’S BEST ALBUM
That Nine Inch Nails album that went from a 2.0 to 8.7 on Pitchfork.

I CAN’T STAND...
Soju is horrible to me once you take the social part of it out. Memories aside, it’s just not an enjoyable drink in general. The flavoured ones are not yummy. I could never associate soju with being good.
I also hate orientation camps. SHUT THE FUCK UP!
WEIRDLY SPECIFIC INTERESTS
Any kind of mythology, fragrances, 90s rock scene drama and dog meal preparation TikToks. But especially fragrances: I’m the type of person who buys decants of every frag that interests me. Even shitty frags (for research purposes). Also, reading interviews.
I like looking like a dark lord when I’m not rushing to work or school.
BEST CONDIMENT
Mostly only Kewpie though. Fantastic whenever it’s mixed with sriracha or wasabi, or mentaiko. I also love my grandmother’s lime chilli very much.
BEST SUBJECT
English, Literature and History. It was very fun and thank God because I was very bad at everything else. The entire teaching staff loved me so much they had a groupchat named “Gabrielle Ang 4E4” with the principal inside.
MOST OVERRATED THINGS, IMO
Head In The Ceiling Fan by Title Fight, anything to do with the beach, minimalist jewelry, that squarish boxy silhouette Singaporean designers love to use on women’s clothing, orientation camp cheers, most flavoured soju, Taylor Swift, Delina by Parfums de Marly, most curated vintage, not drinking yuan yang, fellas who make Aphex Twin their personality
WORST THING I’VE DONE
Get a bowlcut and write poetry when I was a kid.
SHOULD I WEAR DIOR SAUVAGE?
Disrespectfully, no.
BEST MRT LINE?
Brown.
CORE MEMORY?
The one time I handed Ben Barlow of Neck Deep a labubu backstage.
