Yes, the above was an email I receive from SPH informing that I was not selected to go to the next round of the "my paper Executive Look 2008". Later below of the post I will attached the photo I sent in to SPH for registeration.

On 01/03/2008, I went for the 1st audition of my life at SPH.

When I reached there 1st thing was to get to the restroom and style my hairstyle with gel to have the executive look (Wet look)and changed to my white business shirt with black tie and my blazor.

Then I was all ready to get into the auditorium for my audition, I was pretty nervous that time. Kept reciting what I want to say to the judges and think all sort of quetstion that they might post to me.

Soon it was time for all the participants to get into the auditorium. There was a total of 25 who turned up out of 40 who was shorlisted for this audition.

We were then told to sit down and one by one to go up the stage and face the judges and do an intro of ourself and answer what the judges asked.

I am M8 on that day and which mean I was the number 8 to go up stage.So M1, M2 and so on slowly went up one by one and intro.

Soon It was my turn... I got up the stage. Greeted the judges with "Hi" Then they asked me what my company deal with. I briefly told them and also start to introduce myself.

I know I rushed my speech and did not speak confidently... This should be my one of my minus point beside my apperance (height and look). I was really nervous and all that I prepared to say, I did not said them all. So sad...

After presenting myself, I got down the stage like everyone and I sighed to myself in my heart that I did not do well earlier...

The judges told us out of the total male participant attended (25), they will select 12 to enter to the next round and the selected Male participants will be annouced on Monday which was today. They said they will called those who will make it to the next round.

So this morning I kept looking at my handphone hoping I don't miss their call. I waited and waited but there was no call from them.

But I kept praying and hoping that they will call me to let me go into the next round. I waited and waited till 6pm and no one call me. So I doubt I was selected. I told Yuanling about it and she asked me not to think too much la and she kept comforting me and ask me not to get bother too much. I told Ah Moon too. He also comforted me. At a moment I was thinking maybe they will call me later or tomorrow.

Untill I saw this email... I really have to give up all the false hope. Unless there is miracle? If not really hard that I can be in the contest again. Pray for miracle to happen? Will miracle really happen?


I told Yuanling about the 1st prize was $10,000, she said I should had told her earlier and she said if I could really win, that money can use to go Egypt already... That sum of money is sure tempting to everyone!!!

Aiya.. too bad I got no luck for that... Mark, one of the participant (M11) who sat beside me when waiting to go up stage, told me what yours is yours and what not yours will never be yours and I got to agree that.

Actually if I can enter to top 12 Male Contestants is already good enough. Cause the top 12 Male contestants get to go for the courses arranged by SPH and photoshooting. The attached picture is what they had arranged for the top 12 Male Contestants to go. It's sure look attractive for me. I would really like to go for such course and learn something new and most importantly get to know more friends. Too bad I did not have this chance to proceed further. But overall I'm feeling alright la. Next time try harder lor... I gained one friend, Mark through this audition still. And I am top 40 to be shortlisted... =)


This was the photo that I send in and got shortlisted.
