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’M AFRAID OF
If you could somehow make me do Mathematics in a huge orientation camp setting while having to partake in small talk with a thousand people every day, you’ve probably created my ideal hell.
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)
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, the beach, the KVD Beauty tattoo liner, minimalist jewelry, baguette bags, 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, anything you see from Dior.
WORST THING I’VE DONE
Get a bowlcut and write poetry when I was a kid.
SHOULD I WEAR DIOR SAUVAGE?
Respectfully, no.
BEST MRT LINE?
Brown.
CORE MEMORY?
The ever-specific feeling of joining a concert band in an all-girls secondary school because you listened to The Black Parade and thought it’d be like that, but cattier.
