Yay friends, it's Friday! 🎉 We made it through another week, one step closer to retirement.

As a Singaporean, I grew up believing success was all about achieving the 5 Cs. Turns out there's a 6th one nobody talks about. 🇸🇬😅

FRIENDS IN LA!! You’ve read about it on CNA and CNBC, heard it at events where governments have flown me in to speak, and now you get to experience my story the way it should be told: as ✨jokes✨ Because my fails were so epic, we have to laugh about them (and maybe cry a little).

I left Singapore for America to save my dying tech startup. Instead, I found racism, lost my identity, watched my startup fail, got fired by another company, and yet somehow gained everything back—and more.

This is my decade-long story of dreams and fears, success and failure, giving up and holding on, presented as a free WIP solo show at the Hollywood Fringe.

I hope you’ll like it. 🥹

Tickets available via the link in my bio. See you there!!! 💕💕💕💕

Just a girl living in this big world asking for it to judge her like a man 😌😌😌😌😌😌

Also that last photo is incredibly disturbing I apologize for ruining your day.

The real reason why I’m single - because true love is not the most important thing. This is. 🤭🤭🤭🤭 To be fair I would have given him my number after the show but he left before that, probably back to his hotel room to cry.

Thank you for sharing my tech, social impact, and comedy journey - all the highs and lows! I forgot that whatever I say in the video calls with the reporter could become quotes and that’s how we ended up with some hilarious ones. 😂🤭

Here are some of my favorites and omg that last slide 👀

First time getting cheers from microwaving salmon when sometimes even I hate myself for doing it 😂 Also, did you know that one of the best ways to fight racism is with… ✨malicious compliance✨? 🤭

Another minority silencing white voices. The audacity!! The outrage!! He assumed I speak Chinese and I assumed he speaks Chinese for the women. Who won this round of racial stereotypes?!? 🤭

Sometimes you’re the main character in a story, and other times you’re a great exposition device to move the plot along. This audience member found out what her role was. 🤭🤭🤭🤭

What’s the craziest thing you found out about your ex after the relationship?
