JASMINE SIM, ACTRESS

On her plans fOr 2020 Last year, I spent a lot of time on Kin, which is a long-form drama. I also had the opportunity to do a few projects in mandarin, and work with new brands. This year, I’ll still be on Kin. I do enjoy acting, and would like to experience different things. Kin is stable, and yet the storylines do move quickly so things are still fun. The model in me does enjoy doing photoshoots like this – because I get to take a day off and express myself in different ways.

ON SELF-LOVE

A lot of it, for me, is rest at home. I can’t keep big pets because I stay with family, so I started a small aquarium. I can spend an hour just watching the fish swimming – it’s relaxing and almost therapeutic. I also do cross-stitching. It’s something I used to do, before I stopped for a while. And I’ve just started again. I don’t do it regularly, but when I am stressed, I journal – I’ll write about why I’m feeling a certain way, or why I shouldn’t be feeling like that. Sometimes, things are just a certain way, and we just have to accept that.

ON CARING MORE FOR THE EARTH

I believe in each person contributing in the small ways that they can. I bring my own cup and utensils, for example. Nowadays, I buy and consume less – I buy pieces that I will wear for some time, and if I get sent makeup, I tend to share them with friends. For me, it was always an ideal. Recently, I went to Perth, and once I got back, the bush fires started to happen. So it certainly feels more “real” to me now, and it makes me more mindful.

ON BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH THE GIRLS

We first met each other in Bangkok last year, when Onitsuka Tiger brought us on a trip there. It was my first trip with a brand, and with the girls, and it was really fun.
