The New Normal: Sydney Quays

What is your WFH routine like? “I believe that having a routine is very important when you’re working from home because you can be easily distracted, or lose focus. For me, it’s starting the day the same way I would any other working day, and then sticking to the same routine that I normally would if I were in the office.” How does it differ from working in the office? “The main differences are the usual face-to-face meetings with my team and the store visits. Now with the technology we have and in the face of a digital transformation, we have access to applications that have allowed us to have virtual meetings online. “We are glad to have partnered with delivery aggregators very early on. So when the MCO was implemented, it was a great opportunity for me and my family to experience Starbucks through these deliveries. It has also allowed me to learn how we can better utilise these apps for our business moving forward.” Do you have a designated area in your home that functions as ...

The new kid on the block

I AM going to admit that prior to the release of Universal Music’s collaborative track Jangan Keluar , I had no idea who Yonniboii was. This 22-year-old singer, songwriter and producer not only composed Jangan Keluar but was one of the 17 artistes featured on it. The song, which bluntly told listeners to stay indoors during the movement control order (MCO), was also extremely catchy and memorable. Born Muhammad Haqeem Nuriman Nor Azrin, Yonniboii is in fact the monicker he used when he played League of Legends. He studied animation, but eventually turned to his true passion – music. He is currently working on his debut album, which will be out at the end of the year. During an interview with theSun , Yonniboii spoke about his journey to becoming a musician. How did it begin for you? “I always wanted to do music, but my mum and dad were hyped about it. My dad was in graphics and did animation, so my mum and dad decided that I should be in graphic design and become an animator, ...

Cooking made easy

SHOWS that made Sherson Lian a household name over the past decade, such as 5 Rencah 5 Rasa , are currently on repeat, which is great for the many new home cooks who are trying new things using locally sourced ingredients. “I am grateful because stuff that I have done in the past is being appreciated all over again. It reminds me of where I come from. Looking at the old stuff, I sometimes cringe at how I look and how I spoke,” said Lian during our telephone interview. Nonetheless, he said it makes him feel good watching these shows again. However if he was offered a chance to revisit certain episodes and re-do them (the way Alton Brown is revisiting his old Good Eats episodes with a Good Eats Reloaded ), Lian would definitely jump at the opportunity. “With a more mature and experienced me doing this, why not?” Right now, many people who have never cooked before are picking up cooking tips and recipes, and trying their hand at preparing their own meals at home. Lian’s fuss-free ...

He may only be 26 years old, but Ravin has already acted in 46 film projects, including 28 short films, four feature films planned for release this year, four telemovies, seven television shows and two advertisements. “I still feel that I haven’t done anything yet. I feel that I have a long way to go, and I have to improve myself a lot. I wake up every day and I see myself as a beginner. I just tell myself I haven’t achieved anything yet, so I will learn new things,” said Ravin. “The numbers may look like a lot, but for me, [it feels like] I have just started running,” he added. In fact, “running” is part of Ravin’s life. The Taiping-born lad’s parents are both running athletes. Mother S. Nokalmah Sanasee represented Malaysia in the SEA Games, while father V. Santheran Veloo participates in marathon or long-distance running and has run in the Sukma Games. What inspired you to become an actor?...
