There is No Competition in Between

Although the Yeung sisters are working in the same field, Tavia firmly believes that there is only love and care between them, not competitions or comparisons in between. "Some people will try to contrast us in many ways: 'Oh, do they look alike?' 'Doesn't Tavia's face looks older than her sister's?' 'Isn't Griselda the one who is skinnier and shorter?'... etc. But they won't compare us on our achievements in this acting business. I entered this field earlier than her. She just arrived five to six years after I had graduated. There is no competitions between us. We will never envy each other. Sometimes she would even ask me for advice. We always give good suggestions to each other. We are feeling more bound to one another now."

It's hard to imagine. Tavia, a cheerful and talkative girl now, was a shy and timid one in the past. Her sister, instead, was a more active member at school. "When we were still studying, my sister had joined many extracurricular activities--choirs, dramas, and poetry recitals. She is the active one at school. I, however, had never been on stage before. I had never been singing solo on stage. The biggest thing that I had ever done was to recite poems with a huge group of kids as a class. I was standing in the far back, trying to catch up with the others. Even when we were performing a song as a class, I always lip-synced. I had no desire to perform at all. I was so shy when I was small. I never talked much, and it was so different from the person I am right now. Now I can always speak up as loud as I can. I can greet any strangers at anytime and any place. That's what I've learned from the Academy."
