 Typically, TVB sent the second runners-up of Miss Hong Kong to represent Hong Kong in the Miss International Pageant.As Carrie is 2nd runner-up of 2005, she should have competed in Miss International 2005.However, due to the Miss International entry deadline to be before the Miss Hong Kong pageant took place, TVB opted to send Miss Hong Kong 2004 1st Runner-Up, Queenie Chu to the pageant instead.
