Life is really full of surprises. Never in my imagination or plan that I ever stepped into this side of life whereby I will be one of the 50 Most Gorgeous People.
To be honest with you, if you ask me, do I think I’m gorgeous?
Well, in terms of look, I don’t think I’m bad looking, but compare to those professional models who have high cheek, sharp nose, long leg, slim figure, perfect complexion, etc , I’m definitely not one of them.
So, why am I here? Like I said in my previous post, it all started on a very beautiful Saturday afternoon. I was walking together with my husband at Wisma Atria. Then, one young beautiful lady came and approached me, introduced herself from Female Magazine, and told me that she would like to take a picture of me. When I asked for what purpose, then she mentioned that they are in the search of 50 Most Gorgeous People.
WOW!
I felt so FLATTERED. Simply because I never expect that would be applicable to me, especially knowing that it was just about 7 months after I gave birth to my first child. Yup!! I have a very beautiful baby girl, her name is Alvernia (nope, she wasn’t born in Mt. Alvernia hospital) hehehe… and she is currently 11 months now. So, a mixture between feelings of surprise, flattered, plus encouragement from my husband, therefore at that moment I voluntarily followed her to the Female booth to be shot by their photographer. At that time I thought there is no harm, and anyway it’s just for fun! Plus they would give me the photo on the spot. Cool! I actually still have the picture… Here it is… (I re-shoot the original photo using my Canon Ixus 110 IS, and change the setting to digital macro fuction, specially design to shoot close object, and the result: as clear as the original !)

Few months after that… Here I am writing this blog, talking to all of you, and sharing this platform with 49 others gorgeous people… Wow!! Initially I’m not used to it, because this platform is so much different from the normal thing that I do daily. As some of you probably know, I am an Entrepreneur, I run my own businesses. At the same time I’m also a trainer and author. Those are the things that I’m very familiar with. If you ask me about modeling? Or doing catwalk? That’s really not my cup of tea. Of course sometimes I have to do some photo shoots, but normally it is for media coverage or my own business purposes.
Having said that, being here, talking to all of you really excite me, and one of the biggest reasons why I’m still writing regularly despite my busy schedule is because it’s aligned with my passion and my mission which is “To raise up a new generation of successful young people, who take charge of their lives, live their dreams, and eventually, contribute back to society” And that’s why I have decided not only to blog about my personal life, but also to add value to you. To sum up: Style with Substance !
Hopefully with everything that I will share in this tiny space for these 5 weeks will inspire you and will contribute positively to your life! To end today’s post, I would like to share the message that I wrote in my facebook last week:
“Life is like a book, everyday has a new page with adventures to tell, lessons to learn and tales on good deeds to remember. Have a good episode today!”
