Malaysian Entrepreneur & Influencer Amanda
I’m Amanda and based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am a Mechanical Engineering Degree holder and ended up being an entrepreneur. I always want to help more females to be financially independent with time and freedom.
Where do you get your fashion inspiration from?
I get my inspiration from celebrities or Insta-fashionists.
When I see them dress in the style that looks nice and suits me or something that I would like to try it out, I will save the pictures and try to look for similar outfits.
And of course, sometimes I will mix and match as I have my own style too.
On a scale of 1-10, how much of a shopaholic are you?
I would say it’s an 8. Usually when I am in Malaysia, I will do online shopping on fashion, accessories, household, lifestyle products, dessert, groceries, even seafood and more. I can buy whatever that I need when it pops up in my mind or when the shopping apps show what I might like.
For shopping in physical shops, usually I will do it when I am travelling overseas, as I think that it’s the best time to reward myself after some hard work and of course, most of the time I come back home with extra luggage.
Is there any food or drink you can’t live without?
China hotpot, I love it so much especially the mala soup mix with all my favorite ingredients. China hotpot is the meal that I must have every time before and after I travel instead of local cuisine.
Drinks, I don’t have any special preference but if I were to choose one, I would say boba milk tea. I always want to try out different shops when I travel and compare the taste of the milk tea and the boba.
If you could have a superpower, what will it be?
Mind reading.
It would be interesting to see how others think and it can have better communications between people as you would know what people are really thinking.
Do you have any other hobbies or interests?
Recently I am addicted to working out. I am doing HIIT, aerial yoga, boxing and I would love to explore more different workouts. I love the feeling of sweating and seeing my own body transformation time by time.
When I have free time at home, I would like to spend my time doing some creative dishes and desserts, and if it turns out good, I would do more and send them to my family and my close friends. Share the happiness!
I love to travel, I would spend my time looking at the travel posts or blogs to plan my next destinations, where to dine, where to shop, where to take nice pictures with nice sceneries and more.
Which series or movie did you last watch and is it worth recommending?
Forensic Heroes 4. It’s a Hong Kong drama with 30 episodes. Basically, the drama is about a crime solving team solving murder mysteries with some romance.
I would recommend this drama to those who like mysteries, and the murderers in the drama mostly ended up being someone that I least expected.
What is an ideal first date to you?
For me there’s no ideal first date, do not need to plan it too intentionally, and sometimes it is best to just go with the flow.
As long as it’s with the special one, a comfortable and not too noisy environment for both of us to talk, it would be great for me.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Amanda. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Being someone that is independent and self sufficient, having unshakable beliefs without being influenced by others easily. The one who has self love in themselves, a healthy mindset, a genuine smile by enjoying life to the fullest. Of course, a woman that knows herself well, chases after her dreams and respects herself to walk away from things that she doesn’t deserve anymore.
In front of your man, you can be vulnerable and show him that you need him, and yet you can also take care of him and yourself at the same time.
Being your best self, and inspiring others.
