Miss Malaysia World 2016 Second Runner-Up Jessica Lim

Hi Jessica it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy.  Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Hello! My name is Jessica Lim. I was born and raised in KL. I’m the eldest among my 3 other siblings (I have two younger sisters and a younger brother). After I made Melbourne my home for the past 4 years (It is still home to me), I recently moved back to KL. Currently, I am running and working on a start up business with my family.

How will you describe your fashion style?

Practicality and simplicity at its best.

What was the experience like participating at the Miss Malaysia World 2016?

Where do I even start… Firstly, I would like to clarify that I was never a pageant girl. To be honest, I never thought that I would be in a pageant or even be a pageant girl myself. I used to see friends being on pageants but never thought I would be in one. How it all started was my family and friends’ idea (They were quite “persuasive”, I would say). Can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done since day one. If it wasn’t for them, encouraging and supporting me in every way possible, I wouldn’t be where I am today. It was a huge step for me, to take the leap of faith and step out of my comfort zone . Not only I am more confident in my own skin now, I gained many valuable life experiences and lessons. Besides, I met a lot of new and cool people as well (Here’s to new friendships!).

Do you have any hobbies?

I have a lot of things I enjoy doing. I’ve always loved painting. I’ve been painting since I was 5 or 6 years old, growing up with having the love and interest in doing arts and craft because it comes naturally to me . Can’t really explain why and how, it just makes sense to me. I extended one more year in my Bachelor Degree in Communication Design when I was in Melbourne just so I could take up a couple of extra subjects in fine arts. I love yoga too! I used to love doing just weight training and cardio but later fell in love with yoga ever since about a year ago when I first joined a yoga class in Melbourne. Got so hooked with yoga I actually went for classes at least twice everyday for 3 months straight. I love doing photography as well but due to time constraints, my camera is hibernating at home at the moment.

Where do you love to shop from?

There’s no specific place, I tend to just buy if I see something I really like. I usually shop online (Asos / Boohoo).

If you could choose to learn anything in this world, what will it be?

I would love to learn how to be happy and content with myself and my life. Well, no one is always happy nor content with life. I know for one fact that most of us are greedy. We constantly strive to gain or earn, be it a reward or an experience. Sometimes we do so much to achieve our goals, we tend to lose ourselves. After these achievements, we think to ourselves, ” So, what’s next ?”  We can never have enough and it’s not wrong to feel that way . It’s just that sometimes it gets too overwhelming, I forgot how to take a step back, take a good look at myself and be happy and content with myself. I’m still learning.

How much of a foodie are you?

Every part of me screams food! I would say I live to eat. Unfortunately just a year ago, I found out that I am sensitive to gluten. And since then, I have been living on a gluten free diet (So sucky I know).

Have you ever had a bad date experienced to share? 

Fortunately, I have none. Let’s just hope that it stays this way, forever. Haha.

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Jessica. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

I find sexy in a person’s confidence , it speaks for itself . It’s not defined by words ( It is not about how outspoken one is ) nor physique ,  but rather comfortable in your own skin and shine bright from being who you really are.
