VIPs and anxious participants..

"yoyo!i should win this and you all the judges should ignore the other participants!!"

Halfway though the competition, I was seriously feeling sleepy. Listening to 19 speeches its super tiring. It's not that the speeches are bad, its just that listening, not hearing for a long period of time drains you out!!!

the champion!!!

UTAR idols preforming before the results was announce.

Me and my friend counted the results and i tell you, the marks all superb near wan, the champion, 2nd and 3rd place all separated by 0.5-1 mark only!!

Overall the event was a success, bringing in 19 contestants, 2 hours of fun and plenty of new information from the speeches!!Maybe I should join next year...
