How much do we love Sheila Sim? Let us count the ways. On a trip to Switzerland for a Style:Weddings fashion shoot, we got to know the 31-year-old a little better – she is anal about her skincare regimen, she isn't afraid of carbs, she will lug her giant suitcase around and still offer to help carry our bags, she has a genuine warmth and down-to-earthiness that makes her real and approachable, and she never once complains about having to trek mountains in off-shoulder gowns at below 10-degree-celcius temperatures. Wow, what a trooper!
With almost 15 years of modelling experience under her belt, Sheila currently juggles acting with the management of her talent agency Nu Management. "I've been modelling for a long time, so this new role is very challenging and exciting. It's interesting to be doing the same thing but from a different perspective. I'm also putting my marketing diploma to good use!" says Sim.
Being a singleton hasn't dashed her dreams of the perfect wedding. She's aiming for an intimate ceremony witnessed by close friends and family, on the beach where she can wear a lightweight gown and sandals. "Trust me, after doing so many wedding shows in heels and a poufy dress, I'd choose comfy flip-flops and a simple gown any day!" she laughs.
The avid diver has her heart set on jet-setting to Maldives to take in the sun, sand and breathtaking dive spots. "I've always wanted to visit the Maldives. After the tsunami, I got worried. What if it disappeared by the time I get married? So I'm not taking any chances. I'm going this year — without a husband!"
