12 May 09: I have updated with better photos!

photos credit: Valerie. thanks babe!

——————————————————————————————————-

my blog is having a high hit rate today. guess everyone is looking out for this post!

So, here you go:

The Miss Singapore Universe 09 competition has finally marked its final last night.

Our new Miss Singapore Universe 2009: Rachel Kum

Congratulations dear~ Do us proud at Bahamas in August!!

So, the top 5: Cheryl, Rachel, April, Jeanine, Emiko.

1st runner up: April
2nd runner up: Cheryl

Me and emiko received only a bouquet of flowers, which went missing when during the after-party. darn.

we reported at 12 noon for rehearsals and started makeup and hair at 3pm. You know, makeup and hair plays an important role too. At the very least, they should not go wrong. Even if you can speak well, walk well, but with a wayang makeup and hairdo, it just ruins everything.

I was freaking out just before the show started because my makeup and hairdo went wrong! The eyeshadow was extremely thick and they simply slab on more each time they tried to salvage it. In the end, I went on stage with a whole lot of glitter. So much that my eyes couldn’t be seen on stage.

The hair was disastrous. The curls didn’t suit my hair. It made me looked like from the 60s. My mom gave a bad comment on it too. Hai.

Pardon for the photos. I didnt take any behind the scenes photos. And my parents sat too far away from the stage. That’s why the photos are so blur. Am waiting for the official photos to be out.

The 1st segment was casual, by Harley Davidson. It was a non-judging round. We had to dance at the back while each girl took their solo walk.

2nd segment was bikini. Here’s Sya, Gina & April.
(*Sya, you looked gorgeous with long hair!)

Emiko, me & jaceyln. (I love my red shawl!)

Last, the evening gown. Hayden chose them accordingly to our personality.

But i don’t feel my gown suit me well.. it made me looked big and stumpy?
Anyway, i received lots of compliments on my gown.

punk, rock & hawaii

the organizers of msu decided to hold a contest on NS portal for NSmen to predict the Miss Singapore Universe 2009. And being it in NS portal, we all need an account to login and see the photos and vote.

*Votes do not count into the results*

I hate signing up for unnecessary accounts. But after knowing that they are not giving us the copies of the photoshoot, I finally spend 5 minutes creating a NS portal account.

Quite disappointing, the pictures were like thumbnail size. boo.

Alright, let me do a formal introduction of the finalists!

First up,

Shee Yean

Karen

Cheryl

Gina

Rachel (Hot favourite!)

Hui Ting

April

Syasya

Ethel

Christina

Jeanine

Jacelyn

Emiko

My hair look bad. my fringe was pinned up initially. And the photographer suggested that I let it down. But being the last girl to do the shoot, the hair stylist had gone home already.

Behind the scenes:

last night, we had a speech training session. And we were told to try on the bikinis and shawls. plus photo-taking.

It just had to happen when I had light makeup and did not put on fake eyelashes!

with april…

I’m feeling kinda dishearted after last night’s session. I have been with different group of people for the past week and it influenced my concept of self. I’m feeling lost.

everything seems to be a fluff and nothing more.

*sya, im having the same thoughts as you.*

The MSU girls had a free dental service today!

kindly sponsored by Orchard Scotts Dental. =D

Those fruits and cookies were prepared specially for us! haha.. I loved that wheat biscuit with raspberry jam.

They are located at Wheelock Place and the clinic is huge!

I’m amazed by the effort made to let a dental visit be more pleasant and comfortable. I thought Tooth Doctor was great already but Orchard Scotts really blew me off!

They have a relax room for the teeth whitening, which totally looks like a spa resort! How cool is that.

Some of us with the dentists..

together with all the staff. =)

Ruben was my dentist for the day. The young guy in blue on the left. Christina joked that he looked like a 19 yr old kid. haha. I think he’s cute but the photos don’t do justice.

Christina, me, Gina..

with Cheryl.. my hair is so flat these days..

Look at the goodies they gave us!!

This dental service came at the right moment!

I ran out of floss and was thinking of changing my toothbrush and also considering whitening and TA-DA~

They gave us a trial kit for teeth whitening, lots of toothpaste, toothbrush and floss.

We’ll be going back for a follow-up and I need to do crowning for my dead tooth soon too. It’s darn ex-pen-sive! And the braces bill is hitting me hard. I need to work!! Hai…
