1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
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.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
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 do you love to cook and why?
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.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
"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.Describe the dirtiest job you have ever had to do?
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.
