Hidayah likens herself to an old soul who enjoys taking long walks in the evening and playing with little children. Unlike many other youths, she prefers to coop herself in the comforts of her room and draw abstracts on sheets of drawing blocks using oil pastels and boxes of colour pencils. On days when the 4 walls feel claustrophobic, she puts on her jogging shoes and heads out to her favourite haunts, such as Japanese Garden or Chua Chu Kang Park, on foot. The longest she has ever walked is from Toa Payoh to Bukit Batok. Along the way, Hidayah takes joy in watching the strangers around her with their conversations and visible idiosyncrasies. She is fascinated with body language and what’s subconsciously implied when people react a certain way. She joined theurbanwire.com to poke holes in her encapsulated comfortable personal space and be more confident in dealing with people around her.
