Mr Aaron Yeo, 25, is a client executive with PR agency Burson-Marsteller. In his work, he looks for events that can create "buzz" to help clients reach their target audience.
A job in communications means meeting many people each day, which Aaron enjoys. But when he needs his own space, he likes to hop over to the southern islands to get away from the madding crowd.
"I try to do more than the usual movie and dinner routine," says Aaron, adding that Pulau Ubin is one of his fave spots.
"I go there to chill out and get away from what we're facing here everyday. I go with my friends to cycle or relax at the beaches."
He likes Friends - the sitcom - as well, because "that's how people should be on the whole," says Aaron.
"A bit dysfunctional, but genuine and they have good relationships with each other."
Why you should vote for me: "Because I'm an insecure, naughty boy who is deprived of popularity votes!"

Ms Olivia Choong, 28, is an associate with public relations agency Hill & Knowlton. Her job, she says, is pretty much about juggling expectations – those of her client, her boss, and the media.
Keeping everyone happy requires honesty, says Olivia.
"You have to be upfront. Let them know what the situation is like and how much info you can provide.
"You can't mislead them."
For leisure, she likes clubbing and dining with friends, especially when it comes to trying out new foods. Olivia's favourite is Korean cuisine.
She dated a half-Korean man once, and ended up falling in love with the food. Every ingredient in Korean food is steeped in culture, says Olivia, explaining her affection. For example, kimchi came about because in peasant times they had to find a way of preserving food, she says.
Outside of her full-time job, Olivia makes greeting cards for sale.
"I hope to expand it, do other crafts, and turn it into a business," she says of her dream.
Why you should vote for me: "Because I'm real." |

Game to be AsiaOne’s Face of the Month?
AsiaOne is on the lookout for two photogenic people to feature as our "Face of the Month.”
We will post two pictures each week – one male and one female.
AsiaOne roving photographers will either snap these pictures or you could send in entries as well.
At the end of each month, AsiaOne readers will be invited to vote for who they think should be the “Face of the Month.”
By year’s end, there will be 24 faces (12 males and 12 females). From these, readers will vote for the most popular face from each category, and the two will be named AsiaOne’s “Face of the Year.”
The winning couple stand to take home attractive mystery prizes, which will be announced later.
