We went to Jiang Men 3 days ago for our Tourism Ambassador Contest, sponsored by Hong Tai.

Each of us random picked a Guang Dong local delicacy last week and given an hour to write the presentation format and content right away. Content has to include a corresponding HK delicacy to promote tourism for HK/GD.

Kung Fu Tea was my topic and I related it to "Stocking Milk Tea" of "Dai Pai Dong"; at the same time asked audience to help protecting the discontinuing Dai Pai Dong due to licence invalidity issue.

We competed by giving a minute-long presentation in front of 4 judges: CEO of Hong Tai, two mayors of JiangMen, and Queenie Chu, the Tourism Ambassador 2004.

And guess what...

I had mixed feelings to the result, as it was really a cumulative effort of all of us to make the good show, and that they should be given their credits as well.
Special Thanks to Queenie as she kept her wonderful smile during my speech; it really calmed me down and powered me up!

About the recent news in paper, unfortunately, some headlines might not sound; but reports usually helped to explain my embarassing moments positively and accurately.

I'll keep it up~

Tourism Ambassador Night; my object: Kung Fu Tea

I'm back from our outport trip on the 28th!
There are just too much to update from the trip; you may check out the sites below for more details and our pictures:

We slept average 4 hrs every night for two weeks, but at the same time needed to pay attention to 15+ press members at all times. Other than the usual "beauty" shootings, they did a series of ad hoc projects to test on our leadership, communication skill, personality, and popularities among the girls. I did my best and hope it'll turn out well. The outport trip program will broadcast starting from 19th July for two weeks; two times a week, half an hour each.

I haven't really thought of it as a contest; just trying to do my best each day in training, helping others, meeting and talking to press and staff.

Will try to be true to myself; yet willing to change or keep quiet at adverse situations, as long as it doesn't hit my bottom line in my own principles of living.

Heading to somewhere in Guangdong province from 9-11th of July to compete for our first prize this year: Tourism Ambassador

Wish me good luck!

Taken in Sri Lanka
I spent a lot of time talking to them while the camera wasn't around; (they usually get very shy in front of the big machines, lights, and our crew).
It wasn't difficult to communicate in simple English and a lot of body language.

They took pictures with me in their own cameras too...
it's sad to say good-bye as i know i probably won't see them again in my life...

Alex and Erica...
He touched every one's shoulder; not just me!

I'm in the final 20(!)
They announced the result for sports and deportment sessions today; the rest will be announced in two days to avoid disclosure prior to program broadcast.
Again, keep your TV on tmr at 7:30pm to watch the entire sports session; even though my face and tummy look kinda puffed back in mid May.

After meeting the rest of the girls today, I must admit that a few of them are stunningly pretty (and tall!)

Well I guess I'll enjoy the 3-month long training with my 19 companions all the way!

All shootings of the pre-contest were done yesterday.
We did each sports for 45 minutes followed by a review of performance for each sports and overall.

Do Do only gave negative feedbacks to all of us; saying that I wasn't soft/flexible enough

Looks like Do Do already picked the 3 finalists (out of 8) yesterday; although the official announcement will be held on th 29th, which will probably be shooted and broadcast as well.

The program will be broadcasted on the 30th (Mon) 7:30pm at Jade; so mark it in your calendar!

I will update you all as soon as I know the result.

I've got into final 40.
Will compete with other canindates in sports; judges by Do Do Cheng.
We'll be doing Step Aerobics, Yoga, and Latin! (Not my strengths but I'll try my best!)

Training will start on 9th May; and shooting on 11th May.

63 girls were chosen to attend second interview.
This year there will be a gimmick where all the girls need to get involved in five pre-contests according to their interests: sports, singing, drama, dance, and deportment.
I chose sports as my first priority and singing as second; and met with corresponding judges: Do Do Cheng and Hacken Lee, respectively today.
Both interviews went fine; they were very nice to me. Pre-contests will be shoot in mid May and broadcast in late May.
