RUKUS magazine, March 2015, Print

Leng Yein comes to us for a second time and landed on the cover. If you don’t remember her from our February 2012 issue let’s break it down to you. Leng never intended on being a model, but one fateful day she was approached by the state’s pageant organizer for Miss Pahang/Malaysia World Pageant who said she had what it took to be a beauty queen. She joined the pageant and won then went on to win more than 22 beauty pageant titles. Leng is also no stranger to being in from of the camera. Since her big break she has been featured in countless magazines, newspapers, posters and billboards. She has also caught the acting bug and been featured and starring in some independant movies. Leng has also been traveling around the world since we last saw her and has had a very prosperous career as a DJ and spokesmodel. This girl is unstoppable, when she wants it, she take it and nothing will come in her way.

1. What’s your Ethnicity?

I’m 100% pure Chinese.

2. What’s your zodiac sign?

I’m a typical Aries. I’m constantly pushing myself to be first.

3. Where are you from originally?

I’m from a small peaceful little town, Kuantan, in the State of Pahang. But I moved to Kuala Lumpur, the Capital of Malaysia six years ago.

4. What did you like most about growing up in Kuantan?

Kuantan is a small but peaceful and happy town. Everyone knows each other. So it was like I walked out of my house and everyone is my family. I have no worries, no problems, no enemies and no challenges. Everything was just perfect.

5. What kind of mischief did you get into while growing up?

I’m independent, outgoing and strong so everyone calls me ‘Jie’. In chinese, it means ‘Sister’. Some of the younger ones are scare of me because they mistaken the addressing and mistook it as I’m a lady gangster head or something. But after some time, when they know me, they know it isn’t true. I am just a friend to everyone. I dont bite. [wink]

6. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

At one point in my life, some drama happened so I threw everything away and gave up everything at once. I moved out and moved on with my life without anyone or any money. I started my life over all alone.

7. What’s your favorite hobby and why?

I love traveling and meeting new people. Traveling far away from home. Shopping for things that I love, eating different food that I don’t get to eat at home and talking to people makes me happy. Their stories, their problems, their happiness, smile or tears, teaches me more about life. I’ve learned a lot about people that I meet everyday. I’ve learned a lot from different cultures while traveling. I am a professional performing pianist. If I’m home, I’ll take some time off and play my Piano, it calms me down, but it makes me sadder if I’m already sad because music affects my mood a lot.

8. What’s your guilty pleasure?

Branded bags and shoes, most of them are totally over valued, but it gives me great pleasure and satisfaction.

9. Who do you admire and why?

A person with a great attitude, strong mind, focused, kind at heart, down-to-earth, loving and hardworking.

10. What’s one of your personal goals?

I want to be a successful person in life in general. Getting things that I want, being loved by all at all times, and be remembered in everyones’ heart.

11. What do guys compliment you on the most?

Normally guys who first meet me would tell me I look gorgeous or that I am sexy or that I have the cutest butt ever or something like that. But as for guys who’ve met and know me, they would tell me I’m a tough cookie, versatile, independent, strong, a woman who knows what she wants and what to do to get it, smart and beautiful.

12. What’s your favorite body part on yourself?

I love my butt. I have a cute ass. [wink] I like to spank it a lot. [smile]

13. What’s your least favorite body part on yourself?

I pity my nails. No matter how many times I frequent the nail salon, my nails don’t get to be long because I am a pianist so I have to constantly cut them or else I can’t play the piano.

14. What do you look for in a guy?

Forgive me because there are so many things. [laugh] First is loyalty, it’s crucial, it’s all or nothing for me. Then, he has to be smart and strong enough to go through tough challenges or obstacles and achieve results in life. He has to be patient towards me and be calm when things or situations don’t go right. He has to have courage to fight for what he wants in life and what he believes in. He has to be far sighted. To be protective towards me and be my man who stand by my side through my ups and downs. To take great stress and not break apart no matter how bad the time. He has to know and understand me really well so he could handle me, if ever, I break down or fall apart. He doesn’t need to be rich with money, but he has to be rich in life in general, to be rich in knowledge. He has to be a calm and steady person, a very strong person, almost unbreakable because I eat the weak for breakfast. [smile]

15. What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?

Guys with the positive aura, their confidence, smile, the way they talk and move. I love positive guys, they make me happy.

16. What’s your ideal first date?

A short chat over lunch or dinner and then chilling out to have long talks to get to know each other better. I’m an Aries, I don’t beat around the bush, I aim and take. [laugh]

17. What turns you on?

A great mind and great personality turns me on most. I am very attracted to people who have awesome personality; people who are very different from people that I’ve met. People who are smart and funny at the same time—the feeling of the uniqueness in them turns me on.

18. What turns you off?

I can’t take guys who are too much in love with themselves. They always do that empty talking. Guys who are a total show-off; boastful guys who are disrespectful towards women are a major turn off.

19. What’s your biggest pet peeve?

People tapping to the beat on the table while I’m eating, or clapping their hands or stomping legs in the car following the beat of the music playing when everyone around is quiet and calm. It just annoys me because they break the peaceful, happy, easy, slow day of mine.

20. Who’s your celebrity pass?

Seriously…none, because I only crush on people that I personally know. [laugh]
