Interesting fact: I've appeared in crimewatch

One source of happiness: talking to my friends and family and petting random stray cats I see

Sloth/ Parrot: Parrot cause it's smaller and it's more aesthetically pleasing

Hello everyone!

I am Jun Kai from ICA.

One interesting fact about me is I took four attempts to pass my Grade 8 piano exam. It was not talent that got me through but persistence. Do not ask me to play now, it has been nearly 10 years since I last played. 🎹

One thing that makes me happy is the claw machines in Taiwan. It is the only place where I can celebrate spending $10 to win a $2 item and still feel like I came out on top. 🎰

My aspiration and dreams are always staying healthy and financial freedom - to be rich enough and stop asking myself, “Are you sure?” 💰

I would rather have a pet sloth. Someone who will not judge me for taking weeks to submit my assignment to my boss. 🦥

Things that make me happy include 🎤 singing 🎬 watching Cdramas 😋 eating good food, 🧋 and 🍻.

I aspire to travel to every civilized country on earth (long term goal).

Hi everyone, I’m an Investigation Officer at Clementi Police Division. The ladies in my family live really long lives so I expect to be alive and kicking till 100. I’m always happy sipping on an iced latte. I’ve been watching a lot of One Piece lately, so I aspire to live life to my heart’s content and be unafraid to make a fool of myself. I’d prefer a pet parrot because a sloth lowkey looks sinister and freaks me out.

Hello, I'm the other Esther from ICA. I'm a data analyst at ICA's Data Division.

One interesting fact: I'm ambidextrous, which is just a cooler sounding excuse for both my left & right hand being equally inefficient.

One (oddly specific) thing that makes me happy: When the stray cat from my block void deck struts up to me and bua itself against my legs. Erm, I hope that's a sign of affection & not because it's feeling itchy. Other generic things that make me happy include coriander, board games, smooth poops, and various sports like frisbee, bouldering, etc.

Aspirations & dreams: To strike Group 1 in a TOTO cascade draw (in the near future) so that I no longer need to work for money. That aside, I strive to achieve a good balance in life - work/life balance, a balanced diet, and a high bank balance.

Pet sloth or parrot: I don't believe in domesticating birds in small spaces, but a sloth will probably get by just fine.

Hello Everyone! I’m Syahirah (you can call me Syah) from ICA (Chang Airport Terminal 2).

One Interesting Fact About myself 📸

I don’t outsource my selfies — asking strangers to take my photo feels more awkward than taking 20 selfies myself (aka the picture I took above)

One thing that makes me happy 😃

Chasing little moments of magic — catching the sunrise and sunset spot, and enjoying the simple things that make a day feel special. Bonus points for good company, laughter, and good food.

My aspirations & dreams 💭

To create a life I don’t need a vacation from — filled with meaningful work, beautiful places, great people, and moments worth slowing down for.

Sloth vs parrot? 🦥

I’d choose a sloth — a peaceful life of taking things slow, enjoying the moment, and mastering the art of relaxation sounds pretty perfect. We could all use a little more sloth energy~

Hello! I’m Lejia from SPF. Currently an investigation officer at Central Division in the General Investigation Team 👮🕵️

One interesting fact about me:

I used to have bright neon pink hair highlights. I would have continued keeping my hair coloured with highlights if not for my job 🙊

One thing that makes you happy:

Dancing 💃 I started dancing at the age of 4 and I still (or at least try to) go for weekly dance classes now! This picture was taken when I tried out a new genre of dance — Kathak (classical Indian dance) and I absolutely loved it!

Your aspirations and dreams 💭

Travelling the world! And also completing a full marathon by the age of 30 🏃‍♀️

Pet sloth or pet parrot?

Sloth 🦥 because parrots are too noisy XD

Hey everyone, I'm Jake from ICA, currently posted to Airport T1 Arrival.

Interesting Fact:

I used to be overweight and stopped weighing myself after 90kg.

One thing that makes me happy:

Coming home to my dog and lazing around together.

Aspirations & Dreams:

To be able to eat without thinking about cost. Be it for ingredients shopping to cook, or dining out. Simple as it sounds, but not that simple to achieve I guess?

Which pet?:

Parrot, but only if it is the one that chooses to stick around and I can have it free roaming. I don't need a sloth, I am the sloth.

Hello 👋.

I am happiest 💓 when I am exploring the world 🌎 with my love ones~ whether that means travelling to new places, wandering through museums, or enjoying a cozy dinner 🍽 and movie night with family.

My dream adventure is to own a caravan and drive 🚗 my family around around on unforgettable holidays.🥰

As much as I ❤️ adventure, I will politely decline both 🦥 and 🦜 as pets.😉

🦥 or 🦜 ??

Tbh I can’t decide cos on one hand I LOVE napping and just chilling but on the other hand I can be quite a yapper & a pet parrot would be such a gr8 pal to entertain me.. I guess since sloths seem to be more popular here, I’ll go with a yappy bright red Parrot!!

Aspirations & Dreams: On a lifelong mission to set foot in 100 countries and across all 7 continents.

Hello friends!

I’m Raven from ICA psych division

One interesting fact about me is that I am a lover of SOUR foods! Especially of the citric acid variety ~ I have yet to eat something that is “too sour” and can raw dog a LEMON no problem :)

One thing that makes me happy is cute and stupid looking things!! Be it a mascot, toy, drawing, picture or stickman. As long as it is either cute or stupid looking (in my pov) it makes me happy! For example the mascot in the photo! I love it leh it’s BOTH CUTE AND STUPID LOOKING!

My dream is to travel the world and be financially free but if you ask me touch my heart, say real, what I actually want to accomplish is a pull up. I been trying 6 years, may I achieve this before I die 😭

I’ll pick the sloth because same, I aspire to sloth all day everyday. But also because I secretly terrified of birds so if I have a parrot… it’s not going to end well for the both of us.

Hey yall, i’m Inara, a Rota Commander from Changi Fire Station👋🏻 🚒❤️‍🔥

One interesting fact about me is that I studied and interned for an Electrical Engineer company for 4 straight years🤓, but decided to sign-on to SCDF two months before I graduated. Something in me told me to make that jump, so jump I did! 🔥👩‍🚒

Something that never fails to make me happy is going hard at the gym or having a gruesome training session with my rota guys. The exhilaration and serotonin release is unlike anything i’ve ever experienced.✨

My life goal is to live as authentically and passionately as possible. I hope to be able to inspire and lead people to grow into their best selves by also stepping into my fullest potential.

I would like to be a pet parrot, because for some reason, my deputy RC has like 20 of them and is obsessed. So I would like to know what the hype is all about.🤔

Hello! Im Milia from ICA.

One interesting fact about me is that i spend more time sleeping than I am awake. Hence y my face is puffy all the time.

One thing that makes me happy is travelling. Finally drawing a salary gave me abit of a power trip, sudd im booking flights as soon as the topic about holiday comes up. Have held back lately since i realised my money does not come from an infinity pool.

My dream is to travel and see more of the world. Only by seeing the rest of the world did i realise sg is just a small part of a bigger reality. Used to think my problems are the biggest headache, now ofc knw that everyone everywhere are also facing their own challenges. Little lesson on humility from my adventures.

Anyway, ultimately i still just want to be a rich tai tai and travel w/o worrying abt money. Cheers🫰

I would rather have a pet sloth cos i do not like birds. Donate the sloth to the zoo then u are free of responsibilities🙂‍↕️

Hi everyone! Here's a little about me.

One interesting fact about me is that I don't eat most vegetables. Somehow, I've managed to survive this long!

One thing that makes me happy is being able to work out. I see it as a privilege because not everyone has the health or opportunity to do it, so I try not to take it for granted.

As for my aspirations, I once wanted to be a farmer. Then I realized I'm absolutely terrified of insects, so that dream ended pretty quickly.

And if I could have any pet, it'd be a sloth. Well… technically, I already have one at home!

HELLO EVERYONE!

I’m Nathan from SPS :)

One interesting fact about me is that I got my helix pierced after completing NS because I was convinced I’d never be joining another uniformed service. I was wrong.

ALSO, I own two cats, Chico and Sofie. Please ask me to show you pictures of my cats - I have an unhealthy number of them.

One thing that always makes me happy is traveling, and it’s also where most of my salary goes. Please recommend me more places to visit! My dream is to retire early and move overseas to live in a house full of animals.

I’m definitely taking the sloth. Birds aren’t meant to be caged. Plus I yap too much, so I don’t need a parrot making the house noisier.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

One interesting fact about me is that I recently crossed one item off my bucket list by completing an ultramarathon... even though I walked half the time 😅 I have a 13-month-old daughter, and the best part of my day is coming home after work to play with her. As for my dreams, I'd love to retire as early as I can. #LifeGoals

Definitely going with the sloth. Parrots are noisy.

Hi everyone 👋 I am Rebecca from ICA (Woodlands command)!

One interesting thing about me is that I like animals a lot :) so much that I have cats at home. 🐈

Currently I am into fitness and keeping myself healthy due to shift work in my command.🏃‍♀️

I try to keep up with my schedule of running and hopefully join marathon soon.

My aspiration will be to travel the world more often. ✈️

For the last question, I would think sloth would be a better choice for me as I like to relax at home like sloth.🦥

Hi everyone! I’m Lara and something interesting about me is that I’m an aspiring potter~

One thing that makes me happy is dogs! Especially mine who is called Daisy 🐶

My dream is to live a peaceful, happy, healthy life, and i would choose to have a pet sloth as i have a major fear of birds…

Hi everyone!

Good company, good food, and watching football: That's happiness encapsulated. Okay that's 3 things, so clearly math doesn't make me happy

Interesting fact: My texts have so many typos that even autocorrect gives up and I end up resetting my keyboard every now and then.

My dream is to keep Singapore safe and secure, but I think I have just stolen everyone else's answer. Honestly, my real aspiration is simply to come home every day to a happy family, in a high-floor home with a great view.

Definitely a pet sloth. Did you know sloths poop once a week? And parrots poop like 20 times a day. Wishing those who picked a pet parrot happy cleaning :)

Hi! I'm Junyoung from HTX. I try to keep life interesting with too many hobbies: 🪡 / 🎾 / 🎺 / ✈️ / 📸 / 💐  and the list goes on! One small thing that makes me happy is that I have so many things to look forward to in my 5-9, and I hope to keep my WLB that way! Also team 🦥  because that sloth from Zootopia is what I aspire to be

P.S. since a few of you asked on the briefing day - I'm Singaporean 'now' :)

Hi All my name is Edmund from ICA ( Changi Airport T3) One interesting fact about me is that I trekked to Everest Base Camp, and on the way back I nearly became a permanent "checkpoint" on the mountain! I refused to pay US$200 for a horse ride back to the teahouse.🗻

One thing I enjoyed the most: I recently started boxing. It's my favourite way to de-stress after work—I take all my frustrations out on the punching bag. The irony is that I always go home complaining that every muscle in my body hurts, but I still look forward to the next session.🥲

Will definitely pick the Sloth! Such a vibe! Will definitely nua with sloth 🤣🦥

Hi! I'm Sarah from MHQ Finance & Admin Division (FAD)👋

I drive innovation in finance through analytics, automation and AI. I'm always curious how other teams solve problems too, so if you've got a cool workflow or tool, I'd love to hear about it!

💖 One thing that makes me happy
Concerts are my reset button. I just got back from Bangkok to watch ITZY! My bias is actually in Singapore on the 19th... but so am I (at HTA 🥲). Catching them again in October though, so we're good.

✨ One interesting fact about me
I finally unlocked my solo travel dream this March! I went to Taiwan, Beijing and Yunnan. The first two were for concerts (priorities 🤭), but Yunnan was my dream destination. I rode horse (4th time?), made traditional paper, set off fireworks (1st time!), did bungee jump (1st and last time >.<), and even got to steer a plane for a short while with mountain views. Definitely one for the memory bank.

🌱 My aspirations & dreams
Keeping it simple—just hoping to stay happy, healthy, keep learning, and spend lots of time with the people I love <3 over boardgames, pickleball, badminton and many more activities 🫶

🦥🦜 Sloth or Parrot?

Why choose? A parrot for my concert era 📣, and a sloth for my "do not disturb" era 🛌.

Hello everyone. I'm Philip from "MHA".

One interesting fact about me is that I'm a 10m air pistol shooter (Remember that Turkish guy from the last Olympics?).

I'm happiest when I'm chowing down on good steak! And my dream is to represent Singapore in an overseas shooting competition!

Pet sloth, cos I think parrots are noisy.

Ihsan here. I'm a Rota Commander at Woodlands Fire Station. One interesting fact about me is that I write competitively. Writing is my absolute joy in life but if I had to pick something else that makes me happy, it would be pro wrestling. I love watching sweaty men beat each other up. My dream would be to publish a book, perhaps an anthology since I've got a few short stories sitting around awaiting compilation. Since parrots have the longer lifespan, I would rather have that as a pet. That way you're less likely to die alone.

Hey there, I’m Zul! I’m an Investigation Officer at Bedok Police Division. I have two rescue cats named Salem and Simba, who keep life interesting. In my free time, I enjoy staying active at the gym so that I can continue justifying my next dark chocolate fix. One of my biggest goals is to visit all seven continents, I’m only two away! If I had to choose between a pet parrot or a sloth, I’d definitely pick the parrot. I think it would be entertaining to watch my black cat trying to figure out a brightly coloured, chatty bird.
