Fresh Off The Pod

Should I put my personality type on my dating profile? Am I more compatible with certain types? Can I project a different type at work? Our obsession with personality tests is not new. It's increasingly a part of workplace hiring, we've all done Facebook quizzes, plus if you scroll through your dating apps you're bound to see something like, "I'm an ISTJ if that matters...". We sit down with the Founder of Singapore's Enneagram Academy @cindy_enneagram for a deep dive into the 9 types and the answers to our burning questions.

Late-night suppers, crying over the phone, friendship dates. F is for friends who do stuff together! As adulting creeps into the picture, upkeeping our friendships (or making new ones) suddenly seems a little harder. There's a lot of talk about romantic love, and somehow, we seem to give platonic love a little less weight. But studies have shown that people with strong friendships tend to flourishmore in both physical and mental health, and can even boost your immunity. Together with Jonathan Chan (@j0nb0n1_1), we talk about the joy of unexpected friendships, smoothening out friendship kinks, learning through our friendship breakups and most importantly, being grateful for our support systems. Go grab your friends, tell them you love them and together, live long and prosper!

"It was written on the prison wall. We are here to prove them wrong." In this ep, we sit down for an honest chat with our towkay, Alvin Chiong, as he tells us of a renounced life of drugs, crime, and regret.

How does one rebuild a life after facing incarceration 4 times over? How do you prove your naysayers wrong?
