FEMALE 50 GP – My Journey

This is the photo taken when Female Magazine was in the search for Most Gorgeous People.

Few months later, they told me that I was selected to go for the next round, and asked me to come down for photoshoots. I went to Dempsey Road for the photoshoot and the interview (Yup..!!! There was also an interview)  I had to answer many different questions. I think total there were 50 over questions.. hahaha.. That's really a lot of questions. Here's the photo that was taken. I would say it was not easy for me to pose for this picture, because the photographer asked me not to smile. And it was very difficult for me not to smile on camera (almost ALL my photos taken with me smiling widely). Nevertheless, I did it anyway..

Especially for Female Magazine.

Not long after that, I received another email, saying that I was selected as one of the 50 Most Gorgeous People 2009. Wow! I then went for my fitting for the first Preview at ION Orchad. It was during the fitting time that I met Bryan from RAZORTV, and that's how I ended up being interviewed by him.

Then, come my very first catwalk… I was very anxious because I never done any catwalk before. Thank God I have many friends who came down that day to support and cheer for me. [

From the Preview to the Grand Finals, I was very fortunate to be featured in a few media, like The New Paper (Thank you Shree Ann for the great article.)

Also, during the journey as Female 50 Gorgeous People finalist, one thing that I enjoyed the most was to write this blog. I really hope that many people who visited my blog can benefit positively. That's also the main reason why I started to  interview and featured many successful public figures from various walk of lives to share their success stories.
