3 minutes of fame!

Today marks the end of week 4, yet another week filled with dance and catwalk practices, and only recently, rehearsals for the talent segment. :) The contestants have already decided on their performance piece for the 3 minutes of fame during the DND and they have been practicing hard! Well, I shan't say too much and just let the photos speak for themselves :)

What have the pageant contestants been up to lately???

Its only two weeks to the DND and the pageant contestants have been practising really hard! They spent their monday and tuesday evenings practicing dance at Gary's studio where they picked up a bunch of really cool moves :D follow closely for any updates and photos on that (if you're lucky ;) )

Also, not forgetting our beachwear fitting on tuesday :) time to tone up your bodies girls and guys! haha! ;)

On wednesday, the pageant contestants went down to Shine modelling agency for the second time, where they practiced their runway walks and poses :D not forgetting the girls and their "hair flicks" ;) and of course, a lot of other useful catwalk tips as well!

Time for some photos of one our practices in hall! :)

All rev up to start practice for the day! :D

The guys preparing for their catwalk, with Guang Yao giving directions. You guys are looking good! :)

This was taken right before the girls practiced their catwalk, with the Very Extra PC namely me stealing the moment away from them hahaha :D

Next came dance!

The girls taking their starting position for the dance!

Taking their respective positions for dance and a quick breather...

Look at Leonard, Kirby and Mason, always ready for the camera! Haha!

A random shot before we called it a day.. Indeed, all the contestants have been practicing hard, no wonder Zhi Qi looks so tired..

The guys... resting...

All the hard work for that one night on the 12th of September! Well its now the end of week 3 and I must add that all of them have made extremely good progress :D Jiayou and keep up with the good work everyone! :)
