On Friday, June 6, 2014, Crystal, Mandy, Cindy, and I participated in SJSU VSA’s “Legends” Culture Show during the Ao Dai Fashion Show segment, showcasing talented designer Kevin Truong’s work. The Culture Show is annually held at the end of the school year and represents the culmination of what the VSA students have been tirelessly working on throughout the past year. It is a celebration of Vietnamese culture by our generation and how it can be brought alive through a multitude of creative acts which also include singing, skits, and dance. All proceeds from this year’s event went to support...

Pageant Day Experience: Cindy – Miss Social

The night before pageant, I was still running around trying to get everything packed up and ready to go for Sunday, and found out that my steamer wasn’t working; none of my outfits were going to be ready! While trying to review the questions I might get on Pageant day and fixing the steamer at the same time, I didn’t get to sleep until 2am – and next morning I had to wake up at 8am to get my makeup and hair done! While the makeup artist was working on me, I actually fell asleep. My Sunday wasn’t getting off...

On March 30th, 2014, at 12:00 AM, I woke up from a two hours nap from a long and tiring practice from the day before. I tried to fall back asleep, but the thought of dancing, walking, and talking on stage kept me turning and twisting. I then decided to get up and prepare myself for the big day ahead of me. I wrote down a list of things to do such as ironing my dresses and continue to keep myself busy to avoid falling asleep. Finally, the clock stroke 5:00 AM, and I silently left my house when it...

Pageant Day Experience: Cathy – 2nd Princess

According to my past experiences, the final days leading up to pageant felt a lot like waiting in line for a roller coaster ride, or waiting to be called into the surgery room get your wisdom teeth extracted using only local anesthesia. There have been times in instances like these in which I have been tempted to back out (and believe me, I have escaped from the oral surgeon’s waiting room before; long story, but it explains why I still have 2 wisdom teeth left!). This time, I knew I was in line for one of those moments in life...

SJSU VSA had an amazing show this year, showcasing their skit filled with witty humors and scores of musical number. SJSU VSA has been around for 34 years and has always strived to be involved with the vietnamese community through Vietnamese culture promotions and perseverance. For the first time, HKLT courts, past contestants and potential contestants had the opportunity to collaborate alongside with SJSU VSA through Kevin Truong’s Ao Dai fashion presentation segment. We thank SJSU VSA and Kevin Truong for the fun-filled experience and we look forward to working with everyone again on future projects. Last, but not least,...
