The crowds wanting to get a view of the most beautiful Sabahan contested.

The question and answer stage

the 15 finalist get to do their final catwalk before being judged

Miss Inanam made her way

..and ofcourse my personal fav from my kampung, from Ranau

and then it became 7.. anybody who reached this level should be very proud

and the final two comes down to Jovenea and Bo Tiza

And finally, I'm sure from a very minimal difference in points aparting them, Miss Bo Tiza Disimon became the winner of this year Unduk Ngadau

Lotsa prizes!

Congrats miss Bo (1st), Fiona(2nd) and Noemi(3rd). It's just too bad that only one can qualify for the state level

Unduk Ngadau DBKK 2011

The first Unduk Ngadau competition I went this year is the one I've never failed to attend, since 2008. Would love to share the only few photos that I took. According to David Chg(which I saw from his FB), the top three winners are

Winner Rachel (DBKK)
2nd Adeline (Likas)
3rd Kieren (Tanjung Aru)

But the 2010 queen, miss Lydia is still just so pretty in my opinion ;) ..

Miss Oriental, Outdoor nature swimsuit edition

The earlier sunset cruise can only fits few people, since its a rather small yacht.. So It seems unfair for other photographers who would like to take more photos of these lovely and sexy contestants. So Miss Anne of D'Junction organized another photography opportunity outings, where most of the contestants elegantly pose for the camera..

The outings were being held at Kiansom, Inanam but had a short visit at the Mari-mari cultural village first. 9 of the finalist strike a pose that day, and the rest cudnt make it due to personal commitments. Few photographers came, and and were jawdropped by the beautily figure of the ladies, combined with a lovely waterfall nature background.

I guess I'll share this two group photos for the time being, since the rest of the pose is just too hot to handle. haha.. Will post other pics of them, if any of you readers request it.. ;)

My birthday, Miss oriental, and profile shooting of Jessie

Recently was my birthday. Had fun at the eve of the countdown with several frens.. Thanks guys for coming.!

Well the next day, on my birthday, I get to do a profile shots of Miss Jessie Sham, one of the coming Miss Oriental contestants.. she definitely can win! So let me share some photos of her, and tell me what you think!

For your info, she was the winner of unduk ngadau for the district of Penampang at 2007, right before Leonie! So I guess I'm very lucky to be able to take her photos..
