1) Why did you decide to participate in the Miss Chinese Tahiti
Pageant?
At the time, I had just come back from Australia where I studied for 6 years
and I was looking
for a job. People I met (when I was looking for work),
family members I hadn't seen for years, encouraged me to participate
in the
pageant. I was unsure about getting employed so I thought that if I got my
name out, it might be easier for me
to start a private practice in nutrition
consultancy. I also thought it would be a great opportunity to learn more
about
the chinese culture within our Polynesian community.
2) What was going through your head when you were announced the winner of
Miss
Chinese Tahiti?
I felt funny. When they annouced the 2nd runner-up, I thought it was me
because her last name
sounds a lot like mine, then I went... doh, it's not
me ! Miss Chinese Tahiti is one of the big pageants in Tahiti and
I couldn't
dream of winning it. I had mixed feelings when they announced my name: all
the girls worked so hard and I
felt that everybody should have got a prize.
3) You recently flew to HK for the Miss Chinese International 2007 pageant.
how
was the experience?
Very tiring, a lot of waiting around, nothing like I would have imagined.
But the girls
I've met there made it all worthwhile !
4) Who were you closest with during the MCI pageant?
Mostly the girls who spoke English, Cailing, Yvonne, Ming, Louise, Sarah,
Tina, Cindy... But
everybody got along well ; the girls from China, even
though they didn't speak much English (and I only know so many words
in
chinese) were awesome (Carol and YingYing), so sweet.
5) What was your most memorable moment during the pageant?
Standing in the freezing cold outside the studio before the pageant. We were
clenching our
teeth, I was shivering because it was that cold ! But I really
enjoyed the swimwuit section, it happened so fast, no time
to get nervous,
especially when parading in swimsuits. It was a great idea to have us move
around so fast, very energetic
!
6) Who is your all time favorite Miss Chinese International winner?
The only one I know: Sarah, with whom I got along very well because she's
got an awesome personality,
she's really nice, she kept giving out lollies.
From my experience, Australians are genuine people, I'm really happy she
won
and I wish her all the best.
