Full Name:
Fiona Xie Wan Yu
Age: 19
 Nationality:
Singaporean Chinese
Language Spoken: English, Mandarin and
a little Cantonese
Occupation:
Part-time model, full-time actress
Modelling is: "Something I do for
fun during school holidays."
You've seen her in: Growing Up, Espirit
ads, Madame Tussaud's TV ads
Acting is: "Fun!"
 You
will see her in: One Leg Kicking (as Mark Lee's dream girl),
War Diary (as Robin Leong's depressed sister) and My Genie (as a
genie with the IQ of a 9-year-old).
The standard of her Mandarin: "Sometimes
I don't even know what the words I am saying mean."
She
describes herself as being: Very independent, worldly wise
Her cellphone: A maroon Nokia 8210
What she does during her free time: "What
free time?"
So what will she do when she DOES get some
free time? "If I had the time, I would love to go on some
tours alone because I love to explore and I enjoy meeting people."
 Why
she hates the outfit she is wearing: "These things (parts
of her skirt that was shredded to strips) will curl up when it gets
cold and it is really difficult when you have to go to the toilet
because it is a one-piece suit."
A secret she is willing to share: "Once,
I broke down during filming. It was really difficult because I was
filming three projects (One Leg Kicking, My Genie, War Diary) concurrently.
My character in War Diary gets really depressed at the end and the
genie character is very vibrant. Can you imagine? Sometimes I have
to switch characters within 5 minutes!"
