Gene, works in Marketing
Gene displays great sense of humour in spite of what some of her friends call her an “Iron Lady”. What comes with the tag, is her dynamic character and strong negotiation skills at work. On her free days, she hops around the nice cafes in Singapore scouting for best afternoon teas. This go-getter is a modern woman who prescribes integrity, compassion and patience as her key values. Here she shares with us more on her take in life.

1. WHAT IS YOUR OWN DEFINITION OF SUCCESS?
Success is an attitude and being in this nirvana state of mind where I feel the exhilaration of knowing that I made a difference to help someone, a company or a cause, while doing what I love.
2. WHAT ARE YOUR SOURCES OF STRENGTH TOWARDS ACHIEVING THAT SUCCESS?
While success is subjective, I always believe that it is a journey and never an end point. You can feel that you have accomplished a lot today or last week but ideally, it is sustainable happiness that defines success. At the end of the day, positive thinking and support from friends and families are the pillars behind my motivation to succeed in life.
3) IF YOU WEREN’T WORKING IN THE JOB YOU’RE IN NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING INSTEAD?
A global waitress. I would be waitressing in restaurants/cafes/bars in different countries so that I can see the world.

7) HOW’S IT LIKE WORKING AT THE BEACH? HAS WORK AND FUN BECOME ONE?
Well, technically speaking, it is not a beach but the firm’s located near the waters. I love what I do and yes, I think somehow they have intertwined into one!
8) WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU PERSONALLY HAVE TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE?
Too many. Amidst my laundry list of to-dos and to-see, I would like to see the world underneath the red sea before I kick the bucket!
11) WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?
Eat. I have this bunch of lists on where to go for brunches and dinners etc. My friends and I would take turns to pick a place to try the food. On quiet days, I paint, watch a movie or go for midnight swims. Sometimes, I experiment with food and try not to wreck the kitchen. If I have more time, I’ll head over to look for my old friend, nemo.
13) WHAT THREE VALUES ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU?
Integrity. Compassion. Patience
