Jennie Chua "the Cheongsam lady"

No wonder she's called the "cheongsam lady" because you don't see Jennie Chua wearing
anything but cheongsam - has a total of 200
cheongsams in her wardrobe.
Same cut, same design.

So how did the cheongsam 'uniform' start?
"It was borne out of practical reasons. The hours here are long, so I find myself having to change if I have a function at night. So one day I say, why don't I wear a cheongsam and then all I need to change is my face." She wears jeans at home. "On weekends, I look like Siew Hoon, with shorter hair and less breast."
