Tell us a little bit about yourself!

HARLO, I’m Tasleem 👋🏽

I know this is so lame but during my free time I really do enjoy just watching movies 🍿🎬 and sleeping (I can easily sleep for 12 hours) 😴

My ultimate favourite movie is the classic ‘White Chicks’ (if you haven’t seen it, we can’t be friends). It's also my answer to the question “If you were stuck on an island with only one movie to watch, which would it be?” 😂

What do you do at Friendzone?

I lead the Programmes & Partnerships team! We communicate with partners, design programmes, and work towards making them a reality 😊

Favourite food place?

(I so wanna say McDonalds but who doesn’t love that) Enak-Enak, Simpang Bedok and Al-Hussain, Tampines 🤤😋

What is a weakness you have?

I can spend a lot of money on desserts 💸💸💸🍫🍪🍦. I have a sweet tooth, which is bad for someone with sensitive teeth. But I specifically only really like chocolate…so I’d say I give pretty good chocolate-related dessert recommendations 🍫🤤

What’s your favourite song?

Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader 😌 It’s been my favourite song since I was a child and it’s now my comfort song. I also do enjoy listening to music from as early as the 50s to the late 2000s. One of my favourite artists of the past is Frank Sinatra 🎶
