Four-pleasure analysis

Name: Miko Chan
Age: 21 years old
Occupation: Student








Profile
Miko Chan stays with her family in an estate at Bukit Timah area. Being the only child, her parents dote on her and try their best to fulfill her material wants and needs. Always having the latest electronic gadgets and branded goods, Miko is often envied by her peers.

She is bubbly and chats freely about any thing under the sun. Her sociable and friendly nature makes her popular among her friends, and this explains why she has so many social gatherings to attend. She enjoys cheese cakes and coffee, hence she will not miss going to TCC and Secret Recipe.

As a final year business student in a local university, she believes that having the right image leaves a lasting good first impression. A self-proclaimed fashion whore, she loves dressing up and likes experimenting with fashion trends and colours. To keep herself up to date, she buys magazines such as Style and Cleo. Miko likes to go shopping every weekend at Orchard Road. She has a fetish for shoes and she can’t walk by a shoe shop without looking in. To her, every girl needs to have shoes of different colours to match the clothes.

Despite being a mature lady on the outside, she is still like a little girl at heart. Apart from shopping, she also loves singing and listening to English, Chinese and Japanese songs. During her journey to school, she will be seen listening to her MP3 player. Miko will always be the one organising a KTV outing to sing her heart out with her friends. She is also a fan of Taiwanese idol drama. Gone were the days of F4, she is now crazy over a Taiwan boyband Fahrenheit. To keep herself in shape, she will go for a swim at least twice a week. Miko also has her quiet side. During her free time, she loves reading novels and non-fiction books to keep her occupied, excluding those boring, big and bulky textbooks.

Her old loves
Her current "squeezes"

A young and confident lady won't have lack of suitors. However, she has yet to find a guy that she really fancies. Although she is on a "look-out", she constantly reminds herself that choosing a boyfriend is just like choosing a job. Not to be blinded by the "appearance", there must be "prospects" too!

“Work hard, play hard” is Miko’s motto. She will put in her effort for the last semester and hopes to get a job in an investment bank after she graduates.
