CCHQ fashion correspondent Ying is turning 27, but feels like 17. Born in a country famous for being Truly Asia (Malaysia) and raised in a place famous for chilli crabs and Ashley Isham (Singapore), she feels the adrenalin rush upon setting foot on the enchanting world of Shanghai. Lured by the bright lights infused with the scenic lush of the outskirts, she has since fell head-over-heels in love with this place where she yearns to go far in life, to reach beyond the stars and to seek for the true meaning of happiness. |
