Melody and Sharon

Melody and Sharon (from Singapore) were schoolmates, once, when they were in tertiary education. They didn't stay in touch, though. Some eight years later, they bumped into each other and discovered that they had a connection, even though they are quite different. These two are proof positive that difference can be overcome.

"Our relationship is very simple - we're good friends," says Melody.

Unlike some of the other teams on the show, these two ladies are really quite different, and even though they are so different, they still manage to be single-minded, at least on the subject of The Amazing Race Asia. They talk passionately about the need for focus, about their determination, and how their shared faith (both of them are Christians) is keeping them strong.

This is all quite unusual, since their personalities are quite distinct.

Melody describes herself as exuberant and excited, and finds that Sharon helps to tame that wildness. By nature, Melody is an extrovert with definite outdoorsy tendencies. She loves sports, but at the same time she's quite easy-going and is happy to go with the flow. She can be quite passionate at times, a trait that she harnesses for her work as an actress and host. She is a familiar face to most Singaporeans, having appeared on local television, as well as having acted in a local movie.

Sharon is quite different - much more corporate in her outlook and is used to working in an office environment. She works in human resource, and jokingly refers to herself as an office slave. Sharon is used to a much more structured environment, where order rules, and where structure is paramount. She's particularly used to having things go a certain way, which means that the two of them had to learn quite a bit about each other along the way - and will certainly have to learn much more in order to make this work.

They agree on a few things, particularly that their aim in The Amazing Race Asia is to do the best that they possibly can while staying focused and dynamic and while trying to have some good clean fun. This amazing duo will bring quite a lot to the game, because each of them has a different set of strengths.

"We represent a lot of different sides, and together we have quite a lot of good qualities," says Melody.

"As a team we are focused and mindful of the rules, and we are here to have some fun," says Sharon.

The two women admit that they have no clear idea of what their weaknesses might be, only that they might come up in the course of the game.

But there is no doubt at all what their strength is.

"Our biggest strength is our belief that we can do this, and that we have God behind us," says Sharon, and the conviction in her voice is quite clear.

Melody is a Singaporean celebrity, you know...

And their lack of screentime means they'll be around at least a while longer! Good, since I don't not like them.

I love love love Sharon and Melody so much!

Not only they didn't quit the Roadblock and perservere on, but they are also working well together and having so much fun!

Their reactions to the men who were being touchy to them, LOL! Totally good TV.

I really hope they go far, but even if they don't.. they have already done Singapore proud!

Interview with Melody and Sharon

Client: AXN

Project: Amazing Race Asia

Date: 07 December 2006

Who was the one that suggested to join Amazing Race? How did you find out about this contest? How was the other partner's reaction?
Melody: I found out about the race from watching AXN and decided to ask Sharon to be my partner in the race. Sharon was a little hesitant at first but slowly but surely, she began to take the initiative to want to get out of her comfort zone and try something different. So the rest was history!

What is your weakness? strength?
Melody: I discover new weaknesses and strengths about myself each and everyday. So far perseverance is one major strengths of ours. I felt that my keen sense of adventure helped in undertaking most of the challenges. However, I would have made some unwise decisions if Sharon did not bring in her organised mind. I also have a weakness for heights which I have been wanting to overcome.

Sharon: I'm afraid of heights too. *Gulp!* Agree that one of our key strengths is perserverance. We'll do what it takes to get something done.

If you could bring one personal thing what would it be? and why?
Melody: I would like to say handphone to keep in touch with loved ones and to let them know I'm safe. But honestly, if I had to choose one item that was not allowed in the race, it would be my camera. How can I not capture digitally all those special moments, faces and places?

Sharon: My crucifix. There's nothing like being close to God, and knowing that He has your back covered.

What do you do at a pit stop?
Melody: Pant, catch your breath and stare into Allan's eyes. Desperately trying to read his blunt expression for signs of good news or bad. Haha. OH, hang on.... I don't know if we're allowed to tell you what we do at each pit stop. But basically, it's food and rest.

Have you two travel together before?
Melody: Once, just before the race to Bali. Wonderful relaxing girlie holiday! What the cat's are away, the mice play!

Sharon: We had a great trip to Bali!

What is your secret to staying refreshed and healthy?
Melody: A heart full of God's love to share, a positive spirit fueled by sufficient sleep and rest, gallons of nature's water to rejuvenate the body and lots of adrenalin pumping exercise to boost one's zest and energy for life! Haha...

Sharon: I'm for eating and resting well, exercising regularly and taking suitable supplements to support the immune system, for the physical 'glow'. My secret to spiritual glow comes from walking closely with God. That is learning and living His word.

In an interview with Sharon & Melody in the Strait Times of Singapore, the duo revealed that Sharon's bike stalled which caused them to fall into last place during Leg 6's Quad Bikes task and eliminated them from the race.

I was wondering how they reached the Roadblock last. This sucks! Sad

All-female team curse strikes and Team Singapore is the victim!

Hopefully Joebrina brings some hope for me by entering the final 3! Cry
