1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
I love the word "EMPOWERMENT" - It's breaking the personal limitation with regards to self decision regarding education, mobility, political participation, economic, independency, public speaking, awareness & exercise of rights.

2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I enjoyed watching "700 Club" - A program dedicated to bring uplifted stories much more from Christian perspective. Every time I watch the show it enrich my soul and keeps me humble. Throughout all my years what kept me grounded is my spirituality.

3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I am a self-confessed " BAGAHOLIC" . If sports cars and luxury motorbikes is men’s passion, then I can say that it’s synonymous to women’s passion for designer bags. I have this obsessive love addiction on bags. It gave me so much happiness and it is also my stress reliever.

4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
"A calm sea never made a skillful sailor"...It means adversities and trials is part of our journey...a journey that we called LIFE. If everything comes easy and smooth sailing, we will never learn to deal with disaster when they inevitably arrive.

5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
I love Sunday - It is a special day for the family. We usually go to the church and pray together. And this is the day were I do my assessment and planning for the next productive week.
