RISK
Risk taken, opportunity given.
Risk untaken, forever beaten.

Thenuga, on Fear
I’m convinced that when we do face whatever we avoid on account of fear, we’ll piss ourselves laughing at how silly we were.

Arzu, on Risk
There is no reason to fear anything if you trust yourself the way you love yourself, you will do anything in order to protect yourself. Only then, your risks won’t cause any harm. Don’t let it be just a dream.

Dreams: I thought of doing volunteer or community work in less-developed places and also going to a different country to live for a period of time and experience a different way of life, but I just haven’t had the courage to carry them out. Somehow, appropriate ‘excuses’ arrived and I just didn’t do it. Risks: Everything comes with a...
Serene, on Trust
Serene Ho, 55
The person I trust most? Myself. My husband? Him too, I do trust him, but only partially, I can’t place all my trust in one person!
On fear- I am not afraid of anything- except bugs…
On dreams- My only dream and hope is to be healthy, health is wealth!

Nicole, on Love
“Love is very simple; as long as you find the right person.”

In her typical fashion of casualness, Nicole replied, “Something easy, no drama…everything’s in the open, no need to fight,” she pauses as if to...
Lalitha, on Trust

When I pressed her on the disparity between dream and reality, she shared frankly, “What’s stopping me (from living the dream)? Comfort I...

Watch This Space!
All The Ladies is our very own project to document the women we find in our everyday life - on the streets, in supermarkets, at the bank or the post office, at school and at work, on the bus, and even in our train carriages. It is not about the fashions they wear, but the thoughts that wear them. This blog will document portraits and vignettes of the diverse women that make up Singapore. They...
