Fiona answers some questions posed to her:
1. What advice would you give to those who are still students but
inspired to be a celebrity like you?

Fiona:
Chase that dream! But with your head screwed on tightly on your
shoulders and realistic goals. Take up lessons to improve and hone
your craft and embrace performing as a passion and art. Always
remember fame is not everything and that there is a lot of hard
work involved. All the best.
2. What makes a perfect date?

Fiona:
Right chemistry (The perfect and right person), barrels of laughter
and fluttering of the heart, running conversation that sparks
Technicolor fireworks and comfortable silence. And oh, did I also
mention drowning in the person's gaze?
3. Hi,Fiona, just would like to know if you were surprised when you
managed to secure a place in the top 10 most popular female
artistes despite the fierce competition in the category last year?
Secondly, were you disappointed for not being able to see your name
in any of the awards nomination this year? Finally, wish you all
the best for the top 10 most popular female artists award.

Fiona:
Yes, I was very surprised and honoured to be in the Top 10 as well
as the Best Newcomer, especially since I've only joined MediaCorp
for 6 months and have so much more to learn and grow. No, I'm not
disappointed that I'm not nominated this year 'coz I haven't
actually done any production this year. And thank you so much for
your support and encouragement. The Top 20 Most Popular nomination
award should go to you!
4. Hi Fiona! I'm a great fan of yours and I really enjoy watching
your shows! I've been waiting for you to be the current star! How
did you feel when you clinched the Best Newcomer Award and did you
expect it to be awarded to you? How did you get into the
entertainment circle? Have you ever thought you would be a star
when you grow up? I've read that you explored Hong Kong (is it
true?) and I think that was brave! Anyway, I'll be waiting for the
debut of My Genie ll and will always support you! :-)

Honoured and stunned by the whirlwind of events that happened in
the short 6 months! I stumbled upon entertainment really. Was a
holiday thing for fun that started with War Diary and one thing led
to another. I've never imagined I would end up in entertainment, I
had always embraced the hope of being in a power suit as a lawyer
or a teacher of some sort, apart from the days that I had wanted to
be a nun or a loving mother kissing the chubby cheeks of her
darling babies that is!
The Hong Kong stint was amazing. It taught me so much and let me
grow and get to know myself better. My independent streak shone
forth then. But no, I didn't work on the movie industry; only the
modelling arena. Once again, thank you so much for your continual
support and love. Hugs.
5. Hi Fiona! Your bubbly character in "My Genie" and "City Beat" is
really natural. However, I know that you are rather mature in real
life. How do you manage to stay so cool? At 20, what things do you
set out to accomplish in before 25? All the very best, Fiona!

Fiona: I love you already! Yes, I'm glad you know and celebrate the
fact that actors are not an extension of their screen characters.
What I want to do before 25? Have furious fun and learn as much as
I can too. Retire at 25 and enjoy life in itself! As you know
Betty, as cliche as it sounds, being true to yourself works
wonders. It'll help you juggle with life with much ease and
collected calm!
