Mr Adrian Chia, 26, a Relationship Manager with Citibank Singapore, is into extreme sports like rock-climbing and wakeboarding, which keep his adrenalin pumping.
"Both sports inject a sense of thrill into an otherwise mundane weekend," he says, adding: "I love the great outdoors."
Most weekends will find Adrian at the Kallang Riverside Park, a regular haunt for wakeboarding enthusiasts.
Barely half a year after graduation, this economics major from SIM landed his first job with Citibank Singapore. He admits being slightly lost for a while initially. "I was really thrown into the deep end," but he admits that he appreciates the opportunities and responsibilities that came along with the job.
"I had to learn quickly and as best as I could, so I guess this helps build character," says this go-getter, who is in the office way before his colleagues turn up and leaves when it's dark. "How to get married with this kind of lifestyle?" he quips.
Adrian, who is a firm believer in "work hard now and enjoy later", dreams of retiring to a beach house, with his wife and kids. "And lotsa beer, of course! I’m a beach bum at heart!"
Why you should vote for me: "I am outdoorsy and outgoing."

Ms Carmen Peck, 32, an Administrative Executive with a beauty care company based in Japan, greets the photographer with a slight Japanese accent.
That is because she has been sent to Japan to take lessons to prepare her for her job.
She's usually out of her home by 6.30am every weekday, jostling with the morning office crowd rushing to work.
After a punishing 12-hour workday, she unwinds by going to the neighbourbood pub for dinner and drinks with her colleagues till late at night.
"I know it's an unhealthy lifestyle. The culture is such that we are natural born workaholics but we also know how to play hard," says Carmen, who is now back in Singapore.
Carmen says she likes the Japanese culture and the "politeness and graciousness" of the people there. "At first, I wasn’t quite used to it but now, it has rubbed off on me," she says.
Why you should vote for me: "I think I have a good heart, I care deeply about my family."
