To do his part, he documents his hawker life online. “Hopefully it will inspire younger people to give this career a shot if they’re interested,” Delonix smiles. “I think that in Singapore, blue collar jobs are still not very glamorous, so people are not very open to the idea [of being a hawker]. But I hope documenting my daily life will show people you can be cool being a hawker and it can lead to a very fulfilling life.”
