Diana Khoo
Executive Editor/Editor of Options and Haven
Living in wonder and to wander best describes Diana Khoo's philosophy on life. Curious as a cat, she loves everything with a tail (and a tale to tell) and lives to delight, amuse and annoy her patient-as-a-saint husband and two children. Home for her is incomplete without her cocker spaniel Guillaume, schnoodle Ip Man and two much-loved guinea pigs, Char Siew and Siew Yoke.
Kong Wai Yeng
Assistant Editor
Schooled by the streets, Wai Yeng has befriended many kopitiam owners, bringing untold stories to light. She is often found wandering through quirky old neighborhoods, capturing their charm through her lens. A steadfast ally of books and brews, she starts her day with a strict diet of flat white, kaya toast and a good read. Everything else can wait.
Emily Yap
Senior Writer
Born and raised in ever-buzzing KL, Emily's ideal form of escapism usually involves being near a body of water or surrounded by trees – experiences she appreciates even more after living in Sarawak for three years. She enjoys learning about stories that drive humanity forward and the pleasures in life that make living worthwhile.
Aireena Azni
Writer
To quote from Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life, she just wants to live while she is alive. Her quiet demeanour can be loud, as loud as her passion for fashion. She believes one always has something to learn from another and thinks reading an autobiography is a less creepy way to peek into somebody’s life. And sometimes, all she needs are a glass of ice cubes to munch on and a hug to call a day perfect.
Genie Leong
Writer
Born artsy to the core (at least, according to the family), Genie’s zeal for storytelling began as soon as she learned how to read and write. Her love for the creative, subversive and remarkable keeps her constantly on the lookout for experimental-style trends and underground artists and musicians. To her, a perfect weekend must include the following: a visit to a thrift store, cuddle time with her cat and getting dressed up for a girls’ night out.
Quincy Tan
Writer
Between the sharp fashion sense, questionable headlines and unpredictable interests, this literary scholar-turned-journalist baffles and intrigues in equal measure. A day with their homemade cookies in the office is always a good one. Quincy also made company history as (allegedly) the first-ever trainee of The Edge.
Puteri Inarah
Writer
This cat lover is known for slipping hashtags into everyday conversation — a quirk she embraces wholeheartedly and channels into all corners of her creative life. Easily inspired and endlessly amused, she finds beauty in the mundane and is forever searching for the right words to capture her musings. Her essential fuel consists of warm sunlight, a well-made latte, affectionate kitties and a seriously good bass line.
