Miss Tourism International 2012/2013 visited to Embassy of Philippines, together with the Ambassador, Mr. J. Eduardo. 

The whole 24-days working journey is fulled with complicated feelings. Tiredness - have to wake up very early, yet sleep at 3am in the morning. Expectation - When executing a show or an event for sponsors, I wish everything go smoothly. Fulfillment - when everything went smoothly and accordingly. Joyousness -  party and had fun with all the delegates and crews. 

Most importantly, I have grown up so much throughout this period; not physically, but mentally. I have learned so much from all the crews. It is definitely a very different experience compare to being a delegate for Miss Malaysia Tourism.  

Again, this has strengthen my will and stand to be in this line. I know I like it, because here is where my fulfillment and contentment come from. 

Love,
