Memorable Quotes

Drag Race Thailand Season 2

  • "Salam sisters! I'm Vanda Miss Joaquim, 29 years old, and I'm from Singapore" (Entrance Quote)
  • "Back in my hometown, I usually perform and entertain everybody. You know? Everybody sees the façade and you perform you emotions out and you perform your pains out, but at the end of the day you just go home all by yourself. You feel lonely after that. You know, I start to learn to embrace myself and started loving myself even more. Because at the end of the day if you don't love yourself, like you know, you can't let anybody in. So I think we're just a face that learns and I grows from it... So, I mean to all my sisters out there, YOU ARE NOT ALONE, we're all in this together, stay united. Love each other, be kind to one another, Thank you" (answer in Miss Star of the Galaxy pageant)
  • Kana: Vanda na pa, Na pa means old face.
  • ♪ "One, two, three, four. Salam, sisters. Aww! Scream, shout, meow for me. I can come for you, but not for free. Been working, hustlin' down the street. I say salam, you say… (Sawasdee krab.) Don't worry, I come in peace. I'm Vanda, oh darling, it's me. Abdicate yourself, I'm about to bloom. Drag Race Thailand, here comes the boom." ♪ (verse in the Top 5 Medley)
