FILIAL DAUGHTER AMBER CHIA THE SUPERMODEL AND NOW SUPER-DAUGHTER BRINGS HER PARENTS TO VISIT HER FATHER'S RELATIVES IN SHANTOU IN SOUTHERN CHINA. ACCOMPANIED BY HER NIECE EMILY AND PIXMAN BRIAN LEE, THE TRIP IS SPONSORED BY TIME2TRAVEL LOCAYED OPPOSITE THE STARLING MALL. MANAGING DIRECTOR OF TIME2TRAVEL KALVIN NG AND GENERAL MANAGER EDWIN THEN ALSO ACCOMPANY THE MERRY GROUP. WHEN AMBER CHIA WAS 10, HER FATHER SAID HE HOPED HE COULD VISIT HIS RELATIVES IN CHINA BEFORE HE WENT TO HEAVEN AND LITTLE AMBER VOWED SHE WOULD MAKE HIS DREAM COME TRUE. THEY WERE VERY POOR AND SUCH A TRIP SEEMED LIKE A MIRAGE TO BOTH FATHER AND DAUGHTER BUT DUE TO BUDDHA'S BLESSINGS AND KUANYIN'S PERSONAL INTERCESSION, THE LITTLE GIRL GREW TO BECOME MALAYSIA'S FIRST AND ONLY FULLY CERTIFIED SUPERMODEL! AND SO, DREAMS DO COME TRUE!
