1.If you were famous what would your stage name be?
So, picture this: our very first date was a movie night. Yup, my hubby thought it would be the perfect way to woo me. Little did he know, I'm not exactly a movie buff. He chose a late-night show, and guess what? I dozed off as soon as the movie started. It was only during the intermission that he realized that I had fallen asleep. I felt so embarrassed when he woke me up. We still laugh about it now. It's one memory that's etched in our minds.

2.If you would attend a celebrity wedding which, would it be?
In my kitchen, there are two irreplaceable elements that make everything run smoothly. The first is undoubtedly my wonderful husband. His presence and assistance in the kitchen have been invaluable. Over time, he has transformed into an incredible chef, skillfully preparing delicious breakfasts and dinners for our daughters and me. The unexpected silver lining of the Covid situation was that it sparked his newfound passion for cooking, and now he joyfully spends his free time experimenting with different recipes. The second essential component I rely on is my trusty knife and chopping board. Together, my husband and my kitchen tools create a harmonious environment where delicious meals and cherished memories are made.

3.What is the weirdest gift you’ve ever received?
I must admit, I often find myself falling victim to a common misconception. Many perceive me as a bossy and serious individual, someone who can be quite intimidating at first glance. However, let me assure you, that couldn't be further from the truth! Deep down, I possess a warm and friendly nature that shines through once you get to know me. In fact, I take great pride in being one of the friendliest people you'll ever encounter. And hey, here's a little secret: I have an incredible sense of humor too! So, next time you see me, don't hesitate to approach and discover the real me.

4.What is the most random fact you know?
Throughout my life, I have consistently showcased my innate leadership abilities on numerous occasions. From my earliest years, I found myself instinctively gravitating towards roles that allowed me to guide others and take on responsibilities. Rather than seeking followers, my genuine belief lies in the power of inspiration and nurturing leaders through my own actions. To give you one example, it was during the COVID-19 pandemic where I realized that if I didn't do something, then my business would most likely shut down and the staff who were dependent on me would not get paid. I made a pivotal decision to transition my business online, ensuring its survival and providing my team with a sense of security amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic.

5.What is the one thing you’ll never do again?
If I had no fear, I would love to go skydiving. It's something I've been longing to do. But I suffer from acrophobia, my extreme fear of heights, which stops me from attempting this.
