The twenty one Miss Chinese International contestants have left for filming in Dalian and in order to pray for good luck, a blessing ceremony was held in TVB City yesterday. The day also happened to be the 25th birthday of Number 19 Amanda Ong, so a small celebration and cake were arranged as her fellow contestants wished her a happy birthday. Hailing from Melbourne, Amanda held her birthday in Hong Kong three years ago, but this time she had a better surprise. She has not received her present yet because it was so rushed, but she laughs that she may be celebrating again after the pageant. As for her birthday wish, she would not reveal it. Because she is a doctor, she has prepared herself to become the doctor for the group and has brought a lot of medicines with her and she says that she helped out when Number 2 Wong Yin Man became dehydrated during dancing.
