Sharing those moments with new FHM friends and sipping on a refreshing drink, created an amazing experience.

I’m a Double Gold medalist professional figure skater, six-time US national competitor and a former FHM USA Magazine Cover Model winner – in 2020 I became the first Asian American model to ever be on the cover! I also used to be a pageant girl and I won the crown for Miss Orange County, California. Ever since, I’ve worked with so many amazing brands like Chanel, NYX & L’Oréal, FX Network and Hulu. I am proud to be a model, actress and influencer to represent the Asian American community and hope to continue to inspire and uplift my peers by just sharing my life and being my authentic self.

When do you feel the most beautiful?
When I can be my true and authentic self and the energy in the room feels fun and natural. I love enjoying myself, staying in the moment, surrounding myself with great people, making good memories, just laughing and doing what I love. The feeling of being beautiful is not really much externally, but it’s knowing that we are all imperfectly perfect in our own ways and embracing it! That’s when we feel beautiful.

What do you love most about yourself?
I love the way I represent myself, my confidence and my elegant poise. I know exactly who I am with my little morals and self-discipline. I also love the way I view life – I’m pretty good at looking for the best in every situation. I believe life is as good as your mindset. Life is short, enjoy it!

Tell us a bit about yourself.
Born and raised in the vibrant, cosmopolitan hub of Singapore, I grew up at the crossroads where culture meets finance. Now based in Miami, I’m in the early stages of a career in ballet and the arts. When I’m not en pointe, you’ll find me immersed in real estate investments. As a young investor, I’m constantly seeking ways to blend my passion for the arts with savvy financial ventures.

Describe your FHM Escapes Antigua experience.
It was paradise with a twist! Antigua felt like a dream sequence – crystal-clear waters, sun-soaked beaches and, well… ducks – they have an uncanny talent for photobombing, and it was hilarious and adorable! This FHM Escapes was the perfect blend of relaxation and excitement with a splash of Caribbean culture mixed in!

When do you feel the most beautiful?
When I’m dancing. Ballet allows me to express emotions through grace, discipline and routine. I process a lot of emotions and I can’t think of a more disciplined and aesthetic art form than ballet. It’s magical to connect deeply with my
body and soul through dance.

What do you love most about yourself?
Physically, I love my petite stature. People are always surprised by how tiny I am in real life, but as they say, the tiniest are truly the mightiest. On a deeper level, I appreciate my determination and creativity. Whether it’s in dance, art or real estate, I pour my heart and soul into everything I do.

Golf has been a huge part of my life. My parents took me to the driving range for the first time when I was in fifth grade, and I instantly fell in love with the sport. After years of hard work, I eventually got a golf scholarship and played a bit in college. All things happen for a reason, and God actually had other plans for me. In 2018 I began my journey as a model, actress and influencer. This journey has been a dream come true for me and I can’t wait to bring you along.

Describe your FHM Escapes Antigua experience.
Working with FHM in Antigua has been one of the most fulfilling experiences and rewarding opportunities I have ever encountered. I collaborated with an exceptional team of individuals and I was fortunate to connect with incredible women who inspired me with their stories and achievements. It was beyond anything I could have imagined.

What would you say to someone who is keen to go on a FHM Escapes tour?
I’d say in addition to providing a great experience, it’s also a fantastic opportunity to expand your modelling portfolio and an amazing way for people to get to know you. Moreover, I find it enjoyable since you get to visit beautiful locations while working as a model. I would definitely do it again!

What do you love most about yourself?
I love that I have the discipline to work out almost every day to maintain my shape and take care of my health. Physically, I like my small waist and the shape of my eyes.

What was your highlight of this trip?
There are too many! However, snorkelling over a 1900’s shipwreck really was a highpoint. I haven’t been swimming in the ocean in years, so being in the ocean really was a big highlight. Shooting and working with the crew was really painless and fun and I also liked hanging out with the other girls – they were a great group of people.

What would you say to someone who is keen to go on a FHM Escapes tour?
I would tell them it is most certainly worthy of what you put into it. I wish I had participated sooner in other trips – everyone is A-grade, everything is well operated and professional.

When do you feel the most beautiful?
I feel most beautiful when I’m in a natural state, not a great deal of make-up, wearing coconut oil as my moisturizer and in a swimsuit at the beach. I have the sense of being most beautiful in being organic and authentic.

What do you love most about yourself?
Physically, I love my eyes and my hair. Non-physically, my mind and warrior mana (spirit).

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I think most people are taken aback by my lack of superficiality and my inner strength, once they engage in a conversation with me. Some people seem caught off guard that I sing and a performer as well.

What do you look for in a partner?
Stability, integrity, respect, faithfulness, a hard worker, devotion.

Describe your ideal date.
Ideal date would be anything beach or nature related. I’m not picky.

Ts the FHM Escapes team touched down at the Galley Bay Resort & Spa in Antigua, the warm and welcoming atmosphere was palpable. The resort staff, ready to provide our touring models with the ultimate VIP experience, exceeded all expectations. Even though we kind of knew what to expect, being our second visit to this classy Caribbean resort, its breathtaking beauty and top-tier amenities still astounded.
Nestled on Antigua’s west coast, encircled by lush landscapes and crystal-clear waters, this location provided the perfect backdrop for capturing stunning content with the eight gorgeous FHM models featured in this very edition. They and the FHM Australia team were warmly greeted by the resort manager, who personally escorted all to their rooms. The rooms, elegantly appointed with luxurious decor and mesmerising ocean views, set the tone for what was to come.
The team was then treated to a traditional Caribbean welcome drink – a refreshing mix of rum and tropical fruit juices, followed by a guided tour of the resort showcasing its standout features, including a private beach and an organic farm that supplies fresh produce to the resort’s restaurants. It’s safe to say that the FHM crew was eager to dive into everything the resort had in store.
During they stay, the team headed to the beach for a range of water activities as our beauties enjoyed sailing, jet skiing, paddleboarding, snorkelling, tennis, volleyball, yoga and more. The clear waters of Antigua provided the perfect setting to explore vibrant coral reefs and schools of colourful marine life and a major highlight was the culinary journey the resort offered. Galley Bay boasts three distinct restaurants, each serving a delectable array of dishes, and each venue is uniquely designed, offering settings from romantic, starlit dinners to laid-back seaside dining.
The Gaugin Restaurant, perched on a wooden deck overlooking the ocean, particularly impressed the FHM crew. With a menu blending Caribbean and French cuisines, the chefs crafted dishes using only the freshest ingredients from the resort’s organic farm. The team even had the exclusive chance to interact with the chefs, learning the art of Caribbean cooking and watching a demonstration on how to prepare local delicacies like Pepperpot, Antiguan Fungi and Goat Water.
Antigua is famous for its reggae music, and the FHM team was eager to immerse themselves in the local nightlife. A visit to a few of the village bars in Bolans was a must, where the lively beats of reggae brought locals of all ages together. It’s safe to say that the second FHM Escapes trip to Galley Bay Resort & Spa was another standout experience, leaving everyone in awe of the location’s natural beauty, world-class amenities and top-notch service. This trip is undoubtedly one for the books and who knows, perhaps another tour is on the cards. After all, third time’s a charm, right?

Chill & Thrill

Luxury, relaxation and adventure meet in a tropical paradise – welcome to Antigua’s awesome Galley Bay Resort & Spa…

Imagine yourself lounging on a pristine beach, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and lush tropical scenery – this is what the Galley Bay Resort & Spa is all about. But don’t mistake this for just another resort; it’s a paradise that delivers breathtaking beauty, top-tier pampering and a sense of adventure, all rolled into one. Picture this: you step onto the soft, powdery sand and immediately feel the cool Caribbean breeze. Galley Bay offers a range of chill spots to call home, from swanky beachfront cottages to sleek lagoon suites and garden rooms that blend seamlessly into the vibrant surroundings. It’s your private oasis, decked out with all the modern luxuries you could want.
But here’s the kicker: the resort is serious about going green. They’re all about eco-friendly practices – using solar power, conserving water and serving up locally sourced food. So not only are you living it up in style, but you’re also helping to protect the planet – that’s what you call a win-win. And if you’re looking to unwind like a king, the Indulge Spa is your go-to. With treatments inspired by local traditions and natural ingredients, getting pampered while listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the Caribbean breeze is pure bliss.
For the foodies out there, Galley Bay’s dining scene is off the charts. The Sea Grape Restaurant, right on the beach, serves up freshly caught seafood and mouthwatering grilled dishes. For a taste of authentic Antiguan flavours, hit up the Gauguin Restaurant. And if you’re looking to impress, they’ll even set up a private beach dinner with your own waiter and sunset views – now that’s how you turn up the romance with the missus.
The staff at Galley Bay? Well, they’re like your new best friends. Whether they’re setting you up with off-site adventures, throwing surprise parties or just remembering how you like your morning coffee, they’ve got your back. And when it comes to fun, they’ve got you covered – water sports, tennis, yoga… you name it. If you’re into making a splash, the infinity pool is where you want to be – it’s the perfect spot to soak up the sun or show off your Olympic-style strokes.
When the sun goes down, the resort transforms into a dreamy, romantic paradise. Live music, cultural performances and themed nights? Check. Sipping cocktails by the fire pit or taking a moonlit walk on the beach? Double check. It’s like living in a tropical movie and Galley Bay Resort & Spa in Antigua is where the good times keep rolling. This isn’t just a vacation; it’s an adventure that combines luxury, relaxation and the unbeatable Caribbean vibe. If you’re ready to escape the daily grind and treat yourself to something epic, Galley Bay is ready to show you a damn good time.
