1. Which clients have you modelled for?
I've modelled for The New Paper and Miss Earth Singapore.
2. What do you do exactly in modelling?
We do photo shoots and in The New Paper pageant, we were taught how to do the catwalk by Denise Keller.
3. Why did you want to become a model?
For the fun of it. Getting to dress up and have people do your hair in styles you may never attempt in broad daylight on an average day is rather fun.
4. Is it difficult balancing a modelling career with student life?
Not necessarily, as long as you can juggle your time between the two and keep your priorities right. I've even got soccer to juggle (with). When I took part in The New Paper New Face in 2005, I was juggling with not one but three CCAs, as well as my promotional examinations!
5. Has being a model changed you in any aspect of your life? Have you become more confident, and do people treat you differently?
I've not only learnt to become more confident but also how to make myself more presentable in certain situations, like for an important job interview etc.
6. Do you intend to continue modelling after graduating from university?
I would probably continue modelling as long as an agency wants me. I would love to hit the international runways around the world and maybe do professional full-time modelling for a year.
But after that, probably not. Choreographing shows and events is also an option once you've been a model so that might be something interesting to think about too.
The bright flashing lights may make models stand out on your glossy magazine pages - but these models, are down-to-earth model students by all accounts.
So there you have it. It's really not all about glitz and glamour - there's hard work, sweat and passion involved. Especially if you're trying to balance with your assignments and sky-high Jimmy Choos. HOOKED
