Malaysian Influencer Michelle Yong

Hello! I’m an Actuarial Science fresh graduate and I’m from Penang, Malaysia.

How will you describe your fashion style?

I would say I will pick whatever outfit that compliments my body shape and appearance. I personally don’t blindly follow fashion trends that are popular but are not suitable for me. To be more specific, my fashion style ranges from a hot and sexy look to a street style look.

Which beauty products or accessories are most important to you and why?

This is a hard one, because all beauty products are equally important to me. But if I had to pick my top 3, it would be moisturizer, eye cream and lip balm!

Yes, all of them are skincare products because I think having a better skin first is better and healthier. As for accessories, I would say a bracelet/watch and necklaces. I find bracelets tend to glamourize my entire look and necklaces will add a perfect finishing touch to my neck area as I do wear low cut tops often.

Is there any food or drink you don’t take?

I’m from Malaysia but sadly I do not take durian; can’t really stand its strong odor. As for drinks, I don’t really fancy black beer.

Which is the best compliment you have received?

“I like your mentality and the way you perceive stuff”.

To me, it will always be brains over beauty because an empty shell doesn’t bring you a long way. I remember someone complimented me on that after I shared a life motto of mine, “Yes I am an emotional person, but I’ll keep on reminding myself that feeling sad doesn’t solve the problem at all, if you wanna stop feeling this way, think of a solution to tackle it instead, that way your problem and your sense of sadness will all go away together.”

Another life motto of mine would be “See the good”, it means trying to see the good in every situation and hardship you go through, it could be a challenge from God and once you succeed in battling it, you’ll stand up stronger and better.

Is there something you’ve always wanted to learn or experience but have yet to find the time for it?

I would say scuba diving. First of all, I was in the school swim team in primary school and I really do love swimming. Because it just brings me to a state of mind that’s really peaceful and I can feel peace and quiet like the whole world is fast asleep.

I’ve always wanted to learn scuba diving because, can you imagine, being in a peaceful state whilst admiring the beauty of the underwater world. That is gonna be so damn mesmerizing!

Do you have any other hobbies or interests?

Yes of course! Weight lifting in the gym, taking nice pictures of myself and beautiful sceneries (sunsets to be exact), enjoying good food and traveling!

Weight lifting?! Yes! Because after a long day or whenever I feel tied up or stressful, letting it out through lifting weights is super effective and de-stressing for me.

What turns you off on a date?

The lack of confidence in a man or being impolite. Even if you are very good looking, like a supermodel but you disrespect people, say waiters, sorry we can’t even be friends.

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

I would define sexy as having an attractive mindset that makes people want to engage in further conversations with you, other than being physically good looking and hot.
