How would you describe yourself in three words?

Kind, Straight-forward, Determine. Once I made up my mind about something, I will believe in myself and go for it.

Why did you start your own jewellery brand?

One of my earholes is actually closed and I can never find a clip on earrings that were comfortable, they tend to be quite big and heavy, so after wearing them for several hours, your earlobe really hurts. So, I decided to create my own!

Our brand creates small, light, comfortable clips on earrings that people can wear every day. We use sterling silver, and the price is really affordable. Also, a portion of each sale is donated to charity.

As an Actress and Entrepreneur, any tips on leaving a good first impression?

To be very honest, I've never deliberately thought about leaving a “good impression.” But I believe we should all be well-mannered and polite to everyone we meet.

I believe in being yourself, so I don’t particularly portray myself as someone different.

Are you a confident person?

Surprisingly, I am actually not a confident person, but I am a hardworking person. I do my very best for all my roles.

For example, if I get a role that requires lots of fighting scenes, something that I am not familiar with, I'll keep practising to get into character. Confidence is just vital if you want to be a good actress.

How did you deal with negativity, especially during COVID?

I try to find a balance between positivity and negativity. Always feel blessed, and never take things for granted. Learn to accept negative situations, because only then you can truly appreciate the positive events.

Also, I never compare myself with other people, comparison will be an endless journey, as you’ll always find someone who is in a better or worse position than you.

How would you describe your personal style?

Jeans, sneakers, and cap. I never wear a dress when I’m off duty. Prefer tomboy-ish, causal and cool looks. But for the work, I will definitely spend some time to dress up and style myself.
