What are your reasons for joining So You Think You Can Dance?
To see how far I can go in my dancing. Dancing is also my passion. I would love to explore myself doing varies of other dances and season one of SYTYCD inspired and motivated
me to join this year.
Have you ever entered any similar competition?
If yes, what are they and what are your accomplishments in the competition?
In Latin competitions locally and overseas representing Malaysia. I am the 2004, 2005 & 2007 Malaysian Close Latin Amateur Champion. I was also the 2003 International Junior Latin Champion, finalists for all International Latin Amateur Open Category.
Do you have any dance idols?
Bryan Watson, Carmen and Polina Semionova.

I started off with Ballet when I was 9 and is currently still doing it. Started Latin dancing at the age of 15, so in total I have been dancing for about 11 years.
What interest you to take up dancing?
What interests me is the way I could express my feelings through dancing. It somehow releases my emotions be it happiness, sadness, etc. It is also the challenge to explore how my body works understanding of how our body mechanic could create such grace in dancing.
How far do you see yourself in this competition?
I prefer doing it one step at a time. My goal as for
now is to reach the Top 10.
What are your hopes and goals?
To explore what I can do in dancing, not only in the genre that I specialized in but also other genre. To find the "inner me" that is missing in my dancing as suggested by Judimar.
Did you try out for SYTYCD season 1? Did you get through the first time?
No.
