By Putra Muskita

No, this is not Nina Nikicio. And no, we did not accidentally upload this.

Name: Nina Nikicio

Age: 25

Where are you based?
Jakarta.

What do you do?
I am the Creative Director for Nikicio.

How long did you live in Singapore?
Four years. And after all the coming back and forth? Probably six if you add all that up.

What is your favorite supper place, and what do you usually order there?
If this place still opens after midnight, I would totally stay in Singapore: I love the small stalls at Food Opera, Ion. I usually walk to each stall and try all the food. Current favorite is the Tornado Potato, cheese and chilli.

What is/was your nearest MRT station?
I don’t have a fixed place to stay in Singapore. Usually I stay with my best friend at Tanjong Katong, so the nearest MRT would be…Kallang?

Orchard, Bugis, or Chinatown?
Chinatown. Orchard is too full of people speaking Indonesian. It feels like I never left.

When the green man starts blinking, do you turn kiasu and run or wait
Stop, lit my cig, and wait.

Any advice on how to survive here?
A sense of humor and taking it easy.
