Smart beauty scores a hat trick. Within a span of 5 months she scored a hat trick on the catwalk. Her winning streak saw her clinching 3 beauty titles – Miss Kedah-Earth 2005, Miss Pesta 2005 and Miss Penang Hospitality 2005/06.
In 1990 she just made it as a finalist in the Miss Little Pesta contest, a pageant for kids held in conjunction with the annual Penang Festival (Pesta Pulau Pinang) which is one of the most anticipated local events for Penangites and tourists.
15 years later on Christmas Eve 2005, 21-year old Kolej Disted-Stamford computer science student Jolene Lim Wei Li finally became the top celebrity of the Penang Festival when she was crowned Miss Pesta 2005. She also won 3 of the beauty contest’s 12
subsidiary titles.
Jolene is a beauty with brains. She was awarded a Star Education Fund scholarship sponsored by DISTED last July to take up the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons) at the college.
In her first semester examination, she did well with CGPA 3.53 / 4.0, making her one of the top students in the programme.
* Jolene was crowned Miss Malaysia Tourism 2006 on 3rd June 2006.
