I\u2019m an art-based creative raised on the sunny island of Singapore but have spent more than a year in Melbourne, Australia thinking that I might see some penguins. <\/span><\/p>\n

I came back home with a BA in Advertising and still have never seen any penguins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now I love to travel and take pictures with my beloved Fujifilm camera and make damn awesome jams. <\/span><\/p>\n
