Q:As celebrities, you run very tight and hectic schedules. with all the last nights and stressful deadlines, aren't you afraid of that it'll make you age faster? What is your beauty regime or secret?
A:Yes, a little, that's why i always try to take care of myself whenever and wherever possible. However I think my career is not to be blamed entirely, it will happen to everyone who has pressure. And nowadays pressure comes from every aspect of life! As for my beauty regime, I always try to maintain a happy state of mind and smile more. I believe that helps a lot! I also always stick to my skin care routine, and take care of my face well!
Q:How do you keep fit?Do you stick to a daily routine?
A:I try to have meals at regular hours whenever possible. Supper is a big no-no. If i feel that i have indulged myself with too much food in a given day, i will restrain my food in take and exercise more for the next few days. I also believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and i always try to have a healthy one, usually with milk, crereal, muesli bars and yogurt. I try to avoid oil breakfasts like mee-siam, fried noodles and so on.
Q:Is keeping fit a pleasure or a pain for you?
A:Definitely a pleasure! Yoga and gym are my best friends who help me to keep fit. I do feel some "pain" when practicing yoga, especially when trying some postures. But I can say I enjoy those kinds of "pain"!
Q:What is your greatest health scare?
A: I am always very health conscious. This is because I was born with a weak kidney and developed some minor complications when i was a kid. It took lots of times and medicine to cure me, and i kind of have developed a fear of medicine. That's why i try to take good care of myself and stay healthy as much as possible.
Q:As a celebrity, your face and voice are your prized assets. What do you do to preserve them?
A:Routine skin care , especially for my face is really really important. Occasionally , I will treat myself to bird's nest. But most of the time i will just drink honey lemon, which is a cheap and easy way to care for the skin and the throat. I also try not to drink hard liquor, and always try to stay away from smoky places to avoid secondhand cigarette smoke! Abd i sleep as much as possible!
Q:Ever get intimidated by age?
A:So far i am not. Not yet maybe. Because i am still satisfied with my "beauty preservation" results. Hey, people i meet have almost always mistaken my age! And i am totally young at heart!
Q:What dose the word beauty mean to you?
A: I think it must be associated with inner beauty. In fact i believe that inner beauty is more important. One must have a kind heart and have substance, otherwise people will not be impressed no matter how good-looking one is.
Q:Any sinful vices or indulgences?
A:Chocolate...lots of chocolate...non-stop chocolate!
Q:What diet is a must and why?
A:Fruits, especially apples!
Q:What does living well mean to you?
