At 15 years old, Clara was already writing for the secondary school publication of The Straits Times, IN. Since then, writing has been Clara’s passion and she was even one of the ten Samsung youth journalists representing Singapore during the inaugural Youth Olympic Games.
A jack of all trades, Clara can play the piano, guitar, drums, ukulele, and loves to sing – but is nowhere good enough to land a professional gig. It could be because she doesn’t devote enough time to practice, given she also loves sports like archery and cycling. To distract her further, on the less active end of the spectrum, she enjoys reading novels especially those by Nicholas Sparks (as well as books that have been made it to the big screen!), photography and writing postcards to pen pals from all over the world (with the furthest being Washington DC!) via Postcrossing.
Other than talking about herself (just kidding), Clara plans to parlay her varied interests into her writing about food (check out her food blog), music, movies, events and profiles in UrbanWire.
This highly anticipated film, adapted from a novel written by Stephen Chbosky, is not a typical high school movie. It’s The Perks of Being A Wallflower.
Cosplay’s a hobby thought to be more common among females. UrbanWire asks some male cosplayers what’s in it for them in the lead up to International Cosplay Day Singapore on Aug 26.
