Private tutor Jade Lim has lived in Hougang for all her life, but she feels indifferent about the north-east area.  «Just my luck that Punggol and Sengkang have the Light Rapid Transit (LRT),» she told AsiaOne.  The 27-year-old commutes to Punggol and Sengkang regularly for work.  «It's so confusing and terrible. There's two directions and it takes such a long time to get to a specific place. »Sometimes it's so full during peak hours and you can't get in.«  Another source of her frustration? The lack of »hip and interesting« food and beverage outlets in the north-east.  »It's trendy for cafes to open in the heartlands, but there's not a lot of options here," the self-professed foodie said, adding she would prefer to live in the Central area.  A recent AsiaOne survey has crowned the north-eastern part of Singapore, which also includes Hougang, Punggol, Sengkang and Serangoon, as the least satisfied place to live in.

SINGAPORE — The Singapore-founded It bag brand Aupen has been seen on the arms of pop superstars Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Beyonce, but the team behind the trendy label has largely kept a low profile — until now. Former Singapore national swimmer Nicholas Tan has come forward as its founder in an interview with fashion trade journal Women's Wear Daily (WWD). The 35-year-old is a former Asian Games (2010) and two-time SEA Games (2007 and 2011) athlete. He helped to bring home the gold for Singapore in the men's 4x100m freestyle relay at the 2007 SEA Games. After his swimming career, Tan studied biology at Harvard University in the US. He was also an early team member of what is now known as Sea, the parent company behind Singapore-based e-commerce platform Shopee. On the style front, he was the first Singaporean man to feature in a top European brand's campaign for a season collection. He was selected for Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana's 2014 spring/summer advertising campaign. Tan told WWD that his interest in fashion was sparked by his modelling career.
