Found a video of myself in the International pageant swimsuit round! It’s around 3.30min.
For all the guys who are viewing this… enjoy! :p
Did up a video of the contributions I made as MSU2007 for the night of the crowning of MSU08. It’s a bitter-sweet feeling when I see the video and realise how one year has flown by….

I managed to squeeze in some time from my filming schedule to volunteer as a model for the specially designed clothes at the ACRES Gala Dinner that was to be auctioned off that night. Managed to get some of my MSU babe friends – YY & Phoebe to volunteer as well!
Stayed on after the fashion show to join in the dinner and I’m proud to say that ACRES does have a firm group of supporters! Each shirt was auctioned off for at least $500!!! All proceeds will go to fund this non profit organisation. All for a good cause! I think at the end of the night ACRES managed to raise about $30K during its auctions! I was happily in tears….
XOXO

A year has passed and I had to hand over my reign to new blood. The quest to find the next Queen ended on the night on 20th May, Tues around 12.15 am (Wed early morning to be exact). Congratulations to Shenise Wong! I wish her all the best and hope the carries the torch with pride and bring home glory!
It was a bitter sweet feeling that night watching this year’s pageant and I felt nostalgic all over again. I remember how intense MSU2007 was that night of 22 April. It went by so quickly that U hardly had time to be nervous or think about the scale of being in the pageant for the matter. Every 3 min commercial break was a mad rush to change, touch up make up, change hair style and get into your correct line-up position back stage!
I vividly remember there was a tiny TV screen backstage for the rest who are waiting to watch the girl performing on stage and when U return the girls will tell U your points, the crowds reaction, make up artist advising on how U look on stage etc etc…
I’m happy my year went by very smoothly and I’m proud to say I managed to make use of my title to give back to society in one way or another. I did up a video of my past year and will post it up soon once my friend helps me upload it on YouTube. 🙂
In the meantime, enjoy the photos of that night!
Co-host for the night – Nadia, Ian & me

As promised!
U can tell from the pictures how windy it was there due to the typhoon that was passing through. Sporadic rain made shooting a whole lot fun! Was running in and out of shelter in the bridal gowns just to capture the “dry” moments! It was hilarious but a whole lot of fun! I looked more like a runaway bride most of the time! *haha*
Enjoy the pics!
The team behind our hard work!
The wonderful and creative photographer, Eliza Phua (she shot my LIME mag pics too!)
The person that always make me look so beautiful, Grego!
This macho guy saved me from flying away with the wind many many times! Styling Asst., Jimmy Tan.
Chief editor of Style Weddings and Styling genius, Steve Thio.
We had to take this ferry over from Caticlan to Boracay. (it was a whole 12 hour journey from S’pore! – 2 flights, 1 1.5hr bus ride, a 20min ferry ride, another 30min bus ride to the hotel)
received a warm welcome from the hotel staff when we got there!
Make me pretty!!!
Mexican lunch on our 1st day of shoot.
Check out the HUGE waves in the background!
Love my Nike top! Makes great beach wear cum gym wear!!! So versatile!
This coral decoration is at the restaurant where we shot on the 2nd day. Beautiful ain’t it?
Wheeeeeee…………..
Goofing around while waiting for lunch on Day 2. *hungry*
A meal worth waiting for!!! Yummy local seafood in sweet sour/ketchup like sauce. My fav is still the fried calamari!!! Mmmmmm…..
Discovery Shore hotel was so wonderful to invite us to a private party just for the staff!
Poor lil animal all caged up… 😦
They have a lot of cute friendly strays in Boracay. The locals feed them but they’re free to roam!
naughty lil Flying Fox wanted to pick my nose for me!!! *LOL*
My new found friend, Bora! (Bora means bubbles in Tagalog. Hence Boracay = Bubbles Island)
Para-sailing…. Watch him fly!
More seafood lunch on Day 3.
At the Paradiso Grill
That’s all folks! Time to fly back to reality!!! 😛

Hello!
I just got back from the Style Weddings photo shoot in Boracay, Philippines!!!! This issue will be out end August. It was great fun! Though there was a typhoon when we were there. But more about this later!
Last Tuesday, before I left for Boracay, I was at the OSIM Singapore International Triathlon Launch together with MP Teo Ser Luck. Here’s the photos of the event!
XOXO

Hihi!!!
I’ll be flying off to Boracay early tmw morning and I am so looking forward to that trip! I’m going over there for a photo shoot and heard that the place has pristine beaches, white sands – one of the most beautiful beaches in the world! Traveling there is not gonna be easy tho with 2 flights there, a bus ride then a ferry ride! *gasp*
This afternoon I was in Takashimaya Square to launch the OSIM Singapore International Triathlon event which is held on 12 & 13 July. I will be taking part in its mini triathlon. 🙂 Looking forward to training and becoming super fit! That is why recently, I’ve got the Nike+ Sportsband to help me in my personal training. It looks super cool – just like a bangle/watch. Take a look!
It’s super cool… U just place the chip in any Nike+ enabled shoe and just run! It’ll record your run, calories burnt and distance covered! 🙂
Here’s the photos taken on 10 May during my Preserve Planet Earth Project in Johor Bahru. Miss Malaysia Universe 2007 Ms Adelaine Chin was there to join me for the event as well and it was real nice to see a familiar face and catch up! Plenty of Malaysian ministers and JB’s Mayor was there to grace this event as well.
This sapling was planted by me! There’s a Singapore sign below it to mark that it’s planted by me. 🙂 It’s now by the Sungei Tebrau River and I hope it’ll grow big and strong!
That’s all for now… gotta zzz….. need to wake up real early tmw morning for my flight! I’ll upload more pics of this preserve planet earth project and the OSIM launch when I get back! for now….Nite!
XOXO

I finally embarked on planting my trees or “Plant-a Tree” as promised during my MSU 07 crowning! After one year and nearing the end of my reign, I managed to fulfill my goal and dream in doing so with the students in Singapore!!! 🙂
This is done in conjuction with NEA’s latest Energy Efficient Singapore Programme and launch of a short film called “Super Saver” where a Sec 1 Chung Cheng High boy is the main lead. I’m also starring in it as his teacher and “fairy of the forest”! Hee hee… Here’s a banner on it!
Catch the official launch of the short film on 23 May 2008 at Y2Y Network.
This morning I planted another tree but this time in Johor Bahru at Sungei Tebrau as part of the “Preserve Planet Earth” project as the Rotary Club Youth Ambassador. (More on this later)
Here’s the photos of the events that happened on 9 May, Friday.
Sitting amongst the students, waiting to go on stage to introduce our short film.
Talking about my experience acting with the Sec 1 boys and being their teacher!
Telling everyone about my latest article in Citta Bella May issue (Jacelyn Tay on cover) about saving the environment. Go get it!!!!
Now, moving on to planting a Honey Star Fruit tree with Super Saver! (Don’t U think he looks like Superhero Robin?)
Pouring in the soil and officially planting it in!
Now, to give it some water and spark of life!
And finally placing in the plaque in front of the tree… Let’s see how long it will take to grow up! 🙂 I shall visit it again in a few months time!
Zaki the photographer who helped me get some wonderful shots!
Hope U enjoyed the pics as much as I had fun there!
XOXO
