How far can yo-yo, a small little toy with a length of string tied at one end to a flat spool bring you? Can it bring fame and success like other sports? Only determination can bring someone to see it through and make wondrous thing happen! Toh Wooi Ming, has been yo-yoing since he was twelve. Born on 26 July 1988 in Klang, the 22-year-old Marketing Executive of Posim Petroleum Marketing Sdn Bhd, is someone we can be proud of. For the past 5 years, Wooi Ming or Ming, the winner of the Malaysian South Regional Contest, has been actively involved in the Malaysian Yo-Yo Championship, with placings in the top 10 and also participating in the Asia Pacific Yo-Yo Championship. Relating his first move into yo-yoing, Ming was spellbound with the Yo Yo craze by Proyo when the US brand entered the country. When the Super Yo-Yo campaign hit the market in 2004, he didn’t miss a single show and contest where he learnt more new tricks and shared some of his. His passion in yo-yoing led him to become a member of the Malaysian Yo-Yo Club (M-YO), where he honed his talents by picking up more complicated tricks from beginner to super advanced tricks. Ming, the Yo Yo Master for Blazing Teens Yo-Yo Campaign is a 1A Style or Single A performer, from 5 other styles* namely 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and Artistic Performance, just like his favourite players such as Jason Lee, Paul Escolar, Tyler Severance, Steve Brown and Justin Weber, a well-known international yo-yo player.

Ming’s gravitation to this activity has led him to become one of the M-YO committee members in 2006. This has exposed him to organizing the Malaysian Yo-Yo Championship and meeting yo-yo communities from other countries such as Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, Korea, China, U.S.A, Brazil, Czech Republic and Germany. He has also attended the Asia Pacific Yo-Yo Championship (AP) in Singapore, Bangkok National Yo-Yo Contest in Thailand and Kontes Yo-Yo Indonesia (KYI), Jakarta.
