世界真係細，我昨天在街上撞到了我的粉絲 Vivian! 好想再一次向大家講一句多謝，多謝您們給我的鼓勵說話...無論大家是從甚麼途徑認識我都好，我好想由我親自去再一次「自我介紹」一下，因為最近收到一些攻擊性的留言，我原本選擇不去回應，但我覺得有必要讓一些人去認識真正的我。我擁有多倫多大學學士學位，主修政治和環境政策，在求學時期，我加入了一些爭取人權的組織、在愛護動物協會做義工和在一間律師事務所做part time，由大學畢業到參加香港小姐前，我都是為一所非牟利國際環保機構工作，宣揚環保和世界和平。兩年前我參選多倫多華裔小姐是因為我想學好我的中文和接觸多些華人社區，但當選後我發現能夠以這個身份去接觸不同的社區人士、傳媒等等，藉著這些平台去宣揚的我的理念，為地球出一分力，參選港姐也是希望延續這一份理想。大家可能覺得我很天真又或者覺得這一切都好假，但我只是想您們由譚曉榆口中去認識譚曉榆這個人。這個好可能是我最後一個post，我不會再為自己解釋甚麼了，現在的我只想去玩下、叉下電，曬一身古銅色的膚色，回來後重新迎接將來！^_^" What a small world! Guess who I ran into yesterday when I was out? None other than Vivian, my super sweet and awesome supporter! Just wanted to say thank you again to everyone's words of encouragement the last few days! I just wanted to address some of the other comments of those who don't know me very well. I graduated from the University of Toronto double majoring in Political Science and Environmental Policy. During my time there I was actively involved with various human rights groups and volunteering at my local animal humane society, while working part time at a law firm. Ever since the day after my last exam, I have been working at a non-profit international environmental organization to conserve the environment and promote peace. I joined my first pageant to improve my Chinese and to get more involved with my community, when I won Miss Chinese Toronto, it made me realize that its true, you don't need a crown to make change BUT with it you get so much more exposure and it's a great PLATFORM to share ideas and bring about positive change since you get to meet and talk to so many people from the youth to the media, and we all know what an important role media can play in our world today. Anyway, bottom line is I know that I have worked hard my whole life (volunteering and in very "real jobs" too) to try and make the world a better place through various outlets, pageants are one of them, and whether or not I remain in the entertainment industry, I will continue to do my best to make change happen! Thank you again for everything! I'm off to Thailand for some relaxing vacation time tomorrow to recharge and come back energized and ready to face the world! ^_^"

This is one of the most heartfelt messages I've ever received! http://viviantwcheng.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/dear-hilary-tam/ 真係好感動呀，thanks Vivian! <3 有時我覺得自己太天真但係睇到d留言我就反而覺得有理想係—件好事。有理想嘅人先至可以改變世界， 哈哈! ^_^" Sometimes I think I'm a dreamer, too ideal! But after reading comments like these I don't think its such a bad thing, after all it's those who dare to dream who change the world! FTW! ^_^"

恭喜Amy得到了進入決賽的機會，我們都為你而高興！ 兩年前我曾經參選多倫多華裔小姐，當時我的中文程度連小學一年級都不如，加上我在跳舞方面是零天份。這兩年間，我不單只講得一口流利廣東話，連睇同寫都進步了不少，跳舞雖然唔講得上話好好但起碼手腳開始協調番。在這過程中，我亦認識了很多不同國家佳麗，成為了好朋友。從這一切中我得到的比失去的多。生活是用經驗累積回來的，在這我已經得到了很多，多到都數不清，在我心目中，我已贏了 在此我再一次要感謝我的家人，朋友和一直默默支持我的人，知道有您們的支持我就更加有勇氣去接受未來的挑戰！ 我衷心祝福進入十強的姊妹們，好期待八月二十六號看到您們在台上發光發亮！ 希望好快可以同大家再見面! <3 Congratulations to Amy for gaining the last spot in the finals, I’m so proud of you! I started doing beauty pageants two years ago and I have grown so much since! Two years ago I barely spoke Chinese, I had two left feet and was not in the best shape. Now I can read, write and speak so much more Chinese, I’ve overcome my fear of dancing and I’ve never stood taller or been more fit! Aside from helping my personal growth, I’ve also been able to build friendships with beautiful girls from all over the world, girls I wouldn’t have met otherwise! Life is what you make of it and what you gain from each experience is up to you, I have gained so much I can’t even begin to list it – in my heart, I’ve already won. Thanks again to all of my dearest family, friends and supporters for rooting for me this whole time, I am forever grateful and am ready to start my next adventure knowing that I have been blessed with so many amazing people in my life. I sincerely wish the rest of the girls good luck in Thailand and I can’t wait to see you guys when you get back, I look forward to seeing you shine on stage on August 26th! I hope to see everyone again soon ;)

訓了十幾個鐘，成個人都精神晒！呢幾日經歷太多...現在才平伏了一點。一起身就收到好多朋友的鼓勵說話，令到我感覺到無限溫暖！能否進入決賽，在這階段是靠網上投票來決定，雖然我在香港沒有太多朋友，但我知道還是有一些人是從這個比賽中認識我而支持我的！我想您們和在世界各地的朋友們知道：我會堅持到底！對您們每一位的支持、鼓勵和留言，我都衷心感激，在這一次的過程中，您們令我變得更堅強，我知道只要我一「吹雞」您們就會在我身邊！哈哈。 我現在就要「吹雞」，呼籲一下您們去投我一票，投票時間在明天香港時間中午十二點就截止，唔到最後我是不會放棄的，希望您們都不要放棄，投我一票，令我成為第十位可晉身決賽的佳麗！<3 Just woke up after 10 hours of sleep and I feel so much better! The past few days have been very emotional, stressful and tiring...but while I was asleep the massive amount of support and words of encouragement I received is so incredible - I woke up to so many nice messages, what a great way to start of the day! This last leg of the competition is based on online voting and although I don't have very many friends here in Hong Kong I know I have a lot of supporters! I also have the most amazing people in my life based all around the world, whom I've met through my various adventures and experiences...I'm going to stay positive and stay strong! I can't thank you all enough. No matter what the final result is, I have gained so much already and nothing is more valuable than the reminder that no matter where I am, no matter what I do - I will always have people to count on whenever I'm in need! I'm so lucky! I know I've done my best and now the rest is up to you, voting will continue until Monday noon Hong Kong time - I'm not giving up and thank you for not giving up on me, it means everything! THANKS A MILLION <3

由進入香港小姐呢個比賽開始，我不斷同自己講要以平常心去面對，我明白到「希望越大，失望越大」呢個道理。但到了呢一刻，好難去控制自己唔去想太多...決定權不是在自己手中，而是要靠你地！請大家投我一票，把我的希望帶回來!...同埋想祝我好好嘅朋友Leslie生日快樂! 多謝您一直都咁支持我， 我真係好幸運有您呢個friend, 你絕對係獨一無二! <3 Eversince I joined the Miss Hong Kong pageant, I've tried my best to stay level-headed throughout because I don't like setting myself up for disappointment so better to be chill...but at this moment I can't help but feel a little edgy because the situation is out of my hands! I've done my best, now the rest is up to you - please vote for me and give me hope! xxx I also want to wish my very good friend Leslie a happy birthday! Thank you for your support all along, I am so lucky to have you as a friend, there's no one else like you! <3
