2 years later...
Thereafter, I have 2 favourite printad which I had...

STREATS weather girl - for the whole month, and I get to dress in 30 over outfits. I like!

This is the most makeover and WRONG image to do! I LOVE IT! MMS advert. The colors are wrong, the makeup is heavy, the dressing is so super striking!

My first contest, first experience on stage. Miss Nikon Singapore

I can’t remember which photo I sent in for the contest. Probably it’s one of the photos which Gary organised for me. A few weeks later, I received their call and a letter to tell me that I’m selected as one of the semi-finalist. It’s my first time sending in for a pageant contest and I almost couldn’t sleep on the night before the shooting + interview session.

We were given the clothes to fit on the day, and they had a hard time to select my clothes because I was too small size. It took like an hour to do my makeup, another 30 mins to do my hair. Finally, the shot of the semi-finalists.

After the shoot, we were all given individual time for interview session with the sponsor (Nikon).
It was a super tiring day and was told that result will be sent via snail mail.

I was one of the finalists. I couldn’t hide my excitement and I never dream that I would be on stage to compete for a beauty contest! I remembered I never wear high heels before and I had to practice so hard with the 3 inches everyday – day and night. It was such a horrifying thing to walk with the heels on stage.

We got a preliminary round at Shangri-La and it’s time I enter the women world. Back then, I was 18 and when they talked about spa, manicure etc, I was totally out of their topic. I’m still a poor student and couldn’t join them for those sessions.

The actual day was held at Marina Mandarin. They go according by names and I was Contestant No.1 We had rehearsal from noon and we got so nervous that we mixed up our walks most of the time. I'm having problems walking with my heels and worse, I got to be the first to start the show. The girls are all very encouraging and tell me not to worry. If I go wrong, they’ll just follow along.

My legs jellied as the night starts. I didn’t win top 3 but I’m already so contented to be part of the pageant.

My first TV-Commercial. 7-11 Softee ice-cream

I couldn’t get into the mood at all. I was scheduled to reach this outlet at 1230pm. The rest of the talents were there in the morning. I’m so lucky that the crew and makeup artist are all so fun and friendly. They were very patient with me although I took longer time to get into the right mood and expression they want.

I was one of the 8 shortlisted girls for this TVC. When finally came down to the lucky 2 of us, we went down to the production house to do the particular pose to the camera and I got the job. That was when my friends all got so excited and tell me they saw me on TV.

From the rest of the TVC, this is one of my personal favourite - For Channel U

My first Motorshow. Motorcross 2003

Lucky I was skinny back then or I will never get to fit in this outfit. There were like a total of 50 girls for the organizer to choose for the final 20 of us to do the job. We got to wear boots and walk around for the whole event. That stupid boots hurt like hell. To think that models have to brave through the pain, the sun, the long hours, all the di-go-pak etc and yet not rewarding. I swear I will never do such shows again and neither this kind of outfit. (I can’t fit in now either)

This would be my most daring outfit ever.

My Award from Modelling

I don't stand tall but I'm recognised by my agency that I have the best catwalk of all. All in all, god is fair. I do the best catwalk but I don't have the heights. So to say, I'm don't really belong to the 'Models-category'. I'm actually under 'the Talents'.

My first Acting Experience

I can’t remember which show for now. All I can say is that I truly enjoyed those moment. Those days where I have to rush for my makeup, run to the wardrobe to get my clothes and get lost while finding my way to the studio. I’ve seen the artists when they’re off screen; all which are the most real and truth side which that determines whether I like them or not. Often, we are blinded by the way they carry themselves on screen.

I’ve learnt a lot about teamwork. I’ve learnt a lot on how tight a schedule can be for us. So far, all the shoots I remembered are very good and smooth except for those scenes that I acted with C-Lee. I had my worst NG with him for like probably around 8 times. And it happened for 2 shows. Those were the only 2 times that I had NG lor! No. I don’t like him at all so I’m not nervous with him. But that 2 times, I had to walk from point A to point B and I always do wrongly for ‘falling-out’ of the camera.

My most enjoyed show was with Lin Ming Zhe’s production - starring Fann Wong.

It was a continuous 5 days shoot and I just can’t help falling in love with Fann’s acting. Lin Min Ze was so super friendly and humorous that we always fall out of schedule and we get to drag longer than what was planned. So end up, we always shoot till past midnight. He even showed us around to a ‘forbidden place’. So cool! Although he looks fierce and unapproachable, he’s one of the best directors around. During those times, I spent the best moments with X as she always pop by to accompany me and bring me jacket as it’s freezing in the studio.

This is my latest image. I've grown up! No more young sweet thing look!
