Photo Taking Session at home before the Big Event

Reached the Venue on time. Relieved that I was not under-dressed for the event. The invitation indicated 'Smart Casual' and as this is my first Gala Dinner, I have no idea of what is truely considered 'Smart Casual'.

The Event Information...

Seating Plan
We were sort of 3rd grade VIP as our seats were 3rd row on the right side of the aisle (just behind the VVVIP & VVIP), so we were supposed to be able to see the stage very clearly. Well, we were wrong... Once the contestant cat-walked out with sexy white bikinis, all the reporters, photographers and inconsiderate guests rushed up like army ants and jammed the space on the aisle, blocking our view. I can see the stage partially and Kelvin almost cant see anything.

The Pretty Contestants

Missed out the bikini photo shoot, thanks to the annoying crowd on the aisle, blocking our view!

Speech by Guest of Honour,

Mr K Shanmugam,

Minister for Law, Second Minister for Home Affairs

Mr Shanmugam were only there to grace the event. He left before the dinner even started... When he was departing, every one rushed forward to shake his hands including Kelvin.

I asked Kel whether he felt shiok after shaking Mr Shanmugam's hand, he smiled and cheekily replied that he is happy but would be more estactic if it was Mr Lee Kuan Yew that shook hands with him. (I agree, hee...)

Endnotes:

Miss Singapore nowadays are a very low profile and low budget affair. Contests are not as entertaining as before. Hope that there can be new break through so that we can continue showcasing Brainy Singapore Beauties to the world.
