SHE started modelling at the age of 8 doing photoshoots for magazines, and she has done covers for Seventeen magazine and Style Weddings, to name a few.

This half-Indonesian beauty is a traveller at heart, and she especially loves Singapore - so much so that she married a Singaporean man!

Name: Jade Fulleylove

Place of Birth: Australia

Agency: Looque Models

Been here for: 6 years

Why did you choose to come to Singapore?

I came here on holiday in 2001 to visit my aunty. I ended up joining an agency here and returned the following year. Then I met my husband, and have been coming back ever since!

What do you think of Singaporean guys?

I think Singaporean guys are great! I married one!

And my husband is the most beautiful, caring, loving, generous, open minded and sexy guy I know! Generally, I find Singaporeans good dressers, well-educated and kind hearted.

What do you like about Singapore?

The food is great (gotta love cereal prawn and chilli crab! Mmm... mantou!), people are friendly, and culturally, Singapore is so diverse yet so accessible forWesterners.

I also love the fact that it is so safe, clean and modern and it's a great central place to travel around from.

What do you think of Singaporean girls?

I think most Singaporean girls are quite fashion conscious, they really make the effort to look pretty. ButI also see the extreme where girls spend excessive amounts on fashion items, when there is so much need in the world. Sponsor a child with World Vision or buy someone a house with Habitat for Humanity!
