*I bought the last ticket available and got exactly the same table no and location as last year, table 79.
*at 8.20pm, all tables were already fill up except mine..sitting all alone and wondering..am I all alone in this table of 10 seats?....
*then a British family comprising of 9 people showed up and I told them, "u guys are surely supporting Ms England?....they said yes.. and I continued saying the mother of Miss England is here and has been accompanying Ms England this close to 3 weeks now. Then a lady sat next to me said "I'm the mother of Miss England!". GOBSMACKED!..ahhhahhaa...padan muka I...but the fact is...I SAT TOGETHER W THE WHOLE FAMILY OF MISS ENGLAND!...yey!.they were very friendly bunch of people and entertaining to.
*the inclusion of France and Brazil into the top 10 was not really what I expected coz there were more outstanding ladies in this year's edition.
*I'm very surprise that Miss Philippines did not make it to the semifinal as I believe, she's one of the most competitive contestants in this year's edition.
*I still believe Miss Thailand should be up there in the semifinals. She also one of my hot favourite who did not make it. come on u judges!....She's good....
*Croatia got the best evening gown in a shimmering red during the Jakel Fabric presentation show section and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
*Miss Venezuela almost had a nervous breakdown as her name was called as the eighth semifinalists. A bit more suspence will kill I guess,hahaha.
*A group of 10 people from Thailand supporting Miss Thailand sat at the front table and cheered up the event by whistling and wavering and hollering..but went silent after their delegate did not make it to the semifinal stage.
*During Q&A session, each finalist was asked to press a button to select a colored virtual onscreen ball., and were to asked to describe what the color selected meant to them.
*Miss Czech Republic got a brown colored ball. Nervousness got over her and she could not answer properly. The funniest part..I guess she didn't know what to elaborate about brown color by being related to earth and ended up saying "brown is..eemmm- all Malaysians are brown" HAHAHA...Seriously lady...M'sians are yellow, brown, tan, black and all.
*Miss Germany is crowned by last year's winner from India, Manasvi Mamgai.
*Miss Indonesia performed a very catchy infusion of Bali dance and modern steps during the pageant but the talent was won by Miss Mongolia.
*Miss Croatia to me had the best answer to her question.
*but I like Miss Venezuela's answer more, sounds brainy and she could win Miss Universe with that answer. She got black color ball and asked to describe it, she replied by saying
"no matter black , white or brown or red, we all should live harmoniously with each other"++
