Runway 101 Finale

Runway 101 which was held on 5th June 2009 might have just discovered Malaysia's very own Tyra Banks or Heidi Klum. After months of preparations and commitment, the hard work paid of well when the event exceeded everybody's expectation. HELP University Colleges was filled with friends and family members who came to support and encourage all the thirteen finalists.

The event kicked off when all the thirteen finalist walked down the runway with “casual chic” look while wearing clothes sponsored by Colours. The audience were given a chance to look at all the thirteen finalist before they vote for their six favorite girls. After the intermission, the finalists walked down the runway again wearing evening gowns from Desmond Chok Couture House who was the sponsor. The audience were all excited and clapped enthusiastically looking at the thirteen wearing sexy and bold color gowns.

When the votes came in, six finalists were selected for the Question and Answer session. All the girls gave their best answers to prove that they deserve to win the competition. At the end, Jessica Jane Funk, 22 was crowned the winner and she took home RM400 worth of Clinique products and RM300 cash. The first runner-up Sandra Woo, 18 and second runner-up Kadiatou Diallo, 21 both took home RM400 worth of Clinique products and RM200 and RM100 cash respectively. The event ended with the prize giving ceremony to the winners.

13 FINALISTS

RESULTS

	23 Shortlisted
Ayumi Reshma Caryn Carment Esther Yuen Ting Joanne Lisia	Jessica Joyce Sabrina Karen Lee Qian Saki Abigail Maxveen	Vivian Sandra Evelyn Shimmy Sook Yen Manpreet Khatijah

23 ladies out of 44 ladies who auditioned were selected by 3 judges: Dennis Khor (Runway 101 Organizing Chairperson) and Angel Ng (IPRMSA Vice President) from HELP B.Comm along with Denise Chin (Guest Judge) from HELP ADP.

Honestly, planning this event throughout 2 months and choosing 12 ladies for Runway 101 in the span of few days wasn’t easy. We are not professionals but just to name a few: Dennis Khor, Stefanie Von Mach and Leconte Lee had their own account and experiences in the modelling and fashion field to help out in executing this plan.

Pictures were taken by Eliza Wong and Jeremy Choy for further evaluation by local stylist and fashion designer, Desmond Chok who is Runway 101’s stylist for the event and sponsor for evening gown session.

The VERDICT… *drum rolls*

	13 Finalists (in no particular order)
	Sandra Shiemi Evelyn Katiatou Caryn Sabrina Carment Lisia Ayumi Sok-Yen Jessica Ywen Ting Karen

Don’t be confused. You saw that right. We ended up having 13 finalists instead of 12 finalists. It was hard deciding which ladies in shortlisted list should be retained in the competition. That’s why Dennis and Desmond both decided to amend it to 13. Although in general 13 is viewed as a ‘bad’ number, I wondered who’s the lucky lady to be chosen as the 13th contestant for Runway 101.

Runway 101 Audition #2

As promised, here are the pictures from Audition #2.

Sorry, these were much delayed as I was busy juggling between Runway 101 and assignments… at the same time, trying to spend some time with family and friends.

The crowd who turned up early to register for audition. They had to register and wait outside for a while as the place we booked are still occupied by a class.

As usual, we have our 3 judges for the day… Dennis Khor
Runway 101 Organizing Chairperson, BComm

Angel Ng
IPRMSA Vice-President, BComm

Denise Chin
Guest Judge from HELP ADP

And not to forget Jeremy Choy, current IPRMSA President acting as our own version of ‘Nigel Barker’ (if you watch ANTM)…

While I took candid pictures everywhere if you noticed.

Isabel (on the left) ushering the ladies into the room and giving them their numbers while Li Wen (on the right) and Stefanie are handling registration next door.

Day 2: 21 Contestants’ Mug Shots
Spot any of your friends here?

Here are some mug shots taken at the 2nd day of audition at the venue. We had more ladies from various departments ranging from HMC, A-Levels, BComm, BPsych and etc joining the audition. The response rate was faster and better than the first audition, probably because more ladies were free for audition on Friday compared to Wednesday and the message managed to reach more people.
Note: Not all mug shots are posted due to technical error and some did not complete the audition process.
