- What and/or who inspires you to be active in sport:
I used to love sports as if it’s my life and my aim ‘to be the top swimmer’ was the fact that motivates me all the time. But now, my all time favorite US swimmer, Dara Torres’ recent outing in Beijing Olympics had heated up my spirits and my passion towards sports. At 41, she emerged 2nd in 50m freestyle and lost by only 0.01 second! Her statement “They may become harder to achieve, but your dreams can't stop because you've hit a certain age” and “The water doesn't know what age you are when you jump in, so why not?” are now my motto to push myself to achieve my dreams.
- One fact no one knows about you:
I may look tough as a person but I can be a very fragile and negative person if everything crushes down on me all at the same time and I need help from people to pull me up.
- Favorite inspired/quote:
