UKBound 2011 – Lavish Pageant Contestants

Ming Yue

Roses are red, dresses are blue, shopping is great, HTHT too! Whiteboards are white, markers are blue, Ming Yue is my name, Yong Qian is with me too!

Yong Qian

Ferrari is hot, Formula 1 is cool. I speak French, and Hokkien too. Pianos are black, bagpipes can be blue. My name is Yong Qian, Ming Yue is with me too!

Chloe Chan

I like meeting new people and sharing my life with others. Family and friends see closest to my heart. I like to play sports and go to church. I love to travel and discover what the world has to offer.

Gavin Neo

Hey all. this is Gavin, I am sure y’all know. Law is what I’m studying, Kings is where I am going. And you know who you are voting.

Anthea

Anthea has a passion for Economics and loves to be enthralled by the power of the nuances and cadences of language. She also enjoys dancing, and is a foodie at heart (minus the health-nut tendencies!). Anthea believes in pushing her limits (take the pageant, for one), and that just an ounce more of care and concern could truly improve the lives of many others. Or that chocolate could rule the world. Ok, perhaps not. But the former, we can do

Hong Yao

Hongyao has a passion for sports and enjoys an active lifestyle. He loves soccer and is a big fan of Liverpool FC. Hongyao is a foodie and is willing to go any distance to try out recommendations from his friends. Being the fun-loving guy, he always try to spend quality time with his family and buddies. Hongyao is also passionate about management. He feels challenged by the unpredictability of managing a business, where no formula guarantees success. And to him, simplicity speaks louder than words.

Samantha

I am particularly fond of comic strips, waterfalls, Irish murder mysteries, trivia, poetry, the Middle East, wittiness, cities, rivers, horses, Utah, expanding my vocabulary, clouds, convoluted sentences, fluffy things, Detroit, exaggerating things, museums, Eastern European novels, sarcasm, the use of alliteration, the Amish, armadillos (not really), excessive vocabulary, televangelists, Swedish spy novels, puns, mountains, videos on Ukraine, rhymes, arguments, shiny things and potatoes.

Ronald Ang

I have periods of obsessions and i tend to get real into them – I spent two winters in canada working as a snowboard instructor after falling in love with the snow, went on the work as a bartender in an irish pub when I felt like learning more about drinks, went to thailand and joined a local boxing club cause I wanted to experience the life of a nak muay(muay thai boxer). My claim to fame would be representing Singapore in shooting when I was 14 yrs old. I also saw justin bieber skiing down the slopes of mount tremblant (where I spent two ski seasons). baby, baby oh.

Tricia Lee

I have a very high energy level and am easily excitable, known to many as the bubbly, outgoing and chatty girl. Music is an integral part of my life, being a cellist and pianist. I absolutely love desserts and have irrational fears such as long escalators. Good company, good food and good music make me happy.

Shaun Ng

I am an extroverted introvert, someone who is at neither ends of the extremes. I may be the aloof cloud on occasions or the friendly talkative guy on others. You are equally likely to find me trapped within the microcosm of academia or living it up at a party. Music wise, I have a soft spot for electronic music and can be found trying my hand at mixing them. On a peaceful night, there is nothing I enjoy more than just laying down on the grass, beer in hand, girlfriend in arm and enjoying the night sky.

Cheryl Seah

Hello! My name is Cheryl and I’m 19 this year. I like dancing, playing the piano, shopping and laughing! Nothing makes your day better than a nice good laugh xD Usually, I’d come across as blur-looking but I’m not that blur really. It’s just some neutral facial expression that somehow comes out like that when I’m just stoning :/ Anyway, like most of you here I’m heading to the UK to pursue my studies and am extremely looking forward to it!!

Joseph

I like to learn new things and experience new things.
I was an Infantry officer in the army and learnt many an important lesson about life and human nature. Plutarch tells us that what we achieve inwardly will change outer reality, that is, the qualities that we develop through our experiences make us better able to positively influence our work, relationships and the people around us and that is what I hope to continually achieve. And it’s only after you’ve lived through different experiences that you have stories to tell. Life is not all about striving though, I enjoy playing the guitar and the piano whatever my mood!

Valerie Yeap

Hi! My name is Valerie and I’m going to the University of Southampton.
I’m best known for being a huge facebook stalker and developing unhealthy addictions to TV dramas, Grey’s Anatomy was my inspiration for medicine. (Kidding!)
I’d like to think that I’m generally a pretty outgoing and friendly person, most times I’m content just chilling with my friends over good food. Plus, I’m really, really, really for world peace so p(l)eace vote for me!

Dennis Oh

What you see is what you can’t get.
Worst pickup line ever:” Are you here with your friends? — can I be your friend?”

Shirin Swah

I am a very easy going person and some of my hobbies include watching American sitcoms like ‘The Big Bang Theory’, going to the movies, kickboxing and baking. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family.

Sakthishwarran

Warran is tall, quite dark and his grandmother thinks he’s handsome. He loves among many things, reading, writing, traveling, soccer (he should start calling it football), learning new things, and spending time with an amazing bunch of family and friends.
