SHOWBIZ HOPEFUL
The chatty freelance emcee has been
hosting roadshows and company D&Ds
for the past three years. He shares:
“I first started emceeing when I was
asked to host the commissioning ball
in army, and I realised I did okay. From
then on, I decided to do this as it’s
my passion.” He adds: “My life’s
purpose is to put a smile on people’s
faces, and I think I can achieve that
through hosting and acting. I enjoy
entertaining people so I’m working
towards my dream of becoming a
television host one day.”
AMOS
NGEOW
AGE: 25
SUIT UP, SUIT DOWN: The muscular
hunk, who studied business retail
management in Temasek Polytechnic, has
been running his own tailoring business,
called Prestige Wear, since 2015. He
says: “I have a friend who's very tall and
he always had problems finding clothes
that fit him well. He felt there was a
market for tailored clothes, and asked me
to join the venture.” You can find Amos
in his shop at Queen Street, helping to
take measurements for customers. He
says: “We make shirts, pants and blazers.
When I have to attend events, I wear
custom-made suits from my own line too!”
BOOBY TRAP
Amos tells us, “I was fat and used
to have man boobs when I was in
secondary school, and my friends
made fun of me. I always wore two
tops to school to conceal my chest as
I felt so self-conscious.” These days,
the 1.83m-tall, 80kg lad hits the gym
three to five times a week, and eats
only one to two meals daily, with each
meal consisting of a bowl of rice, one
whole chicken and eggs. He says, “I
view keeping my body in shape as a
job as I want to look good when I'm
hosting. Thinking that way keeps me
disciplined.”
