Towering over other Thai women at 173cm tall, with her dazzling smile, sharp features and heartwarming charms, she definitely fit the Miss Universe title.

» There is every reason to feel intimidated by master trainer Peter Twist’s resume, which is dotted with international acclaim and major titles. His picture, showing a man who is fit and well-built, adds to the vibe. But his true self is a far cry from frightening.

» It has been about two decades since Chalita “Nan” Fuengarom became known as a teenage soap star. The daughter of well-known actor Chalit Fuengarom, Chalita took acting very seriously herself, and has always kept a clean record, despite the fame and success thrown her way. It might have been many years since we first saw her as a fresh-faced girl on television, but today her youthfulness has hardly changed.

» Before this interview, I had not expected such a laid-back attitude, casual laugh and humility from Siraput Jongaramrungruang. After all, his resume is a three-page list of academic achievements, extracurricular activities and international awards. But it was a pleasant surprise to see that the 20-year-old appeared to have very high EQ to match his evidently sky-high IQ _ a rarity in today's competitive society.

» Apart from coffee, my second favourite thing to consume every morning is news and information. The moment I wake up, I check my phone to see if there are new emails or messages, and proceed to check my Facebook and Twitter to see what everyone is talking about. While having breakfast I used to leave the television on to watch a popular morning news programme. I would also read some of the Thai newspapers that my family subscribes to.
