According to China Press, the sisters said they want to pursue their tertiary education at local universities.
Elder sister Emilia's first choice is medicine and her second is dentistry, while younger sister Elena's first choice is dentistry and second is medicine.

They said that although their parents' profession has had an effect on them from a young age, it is their wish and interest to pursue further studies in healthcare, stressing that they were not forced by their parents.
According to Sin Chew Daily, the duo said although they studied in the same schools since childhood, there is no competition between them. Instead, they would complement each other by studying and doing homework together.
