S$3million SIA Cup and S$1million KF Sprint- the two richest races in the region



Still remember I attended a Pre-celebration Chill Party for SIA Cup at Clark Quay recently. Yes Last Sunday, I was very honored to be invited to the main event- Singapore Airlines International (SIA) Cup which was held at Singapore Turf Club. This is to Singapore what the Melbourne Cup is to Australia! Organised by the Singapore Turf Club, it celebrates international horseracing in Singapore where racing and non-racing fans alike can look forward to world-class racing at the Singapore Racecourse @ Kranji with the running of the two richest races in the region – the S$3million SIA Cup and S$1million KF Sprint.




It was my 1st time being there and was really an eye opening experience for me.

After eating- Hmm... Let me see which horse to bet on now!

It;s a privilege to win this finally, and in front of a local crowd."

INTERVIEW WITH MR WORLD SINGAPORE 2022 (SENIOR): S3 UMAR ABDUL HAMID

 1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her. But i guess everything was worth it in the end.  2) What was the prep process like? From the auditions all the way to the Grand Finals, i knew i had to step up as prior to the audition, i let myself go quite abit because of the fact that i was juggling between work and handling my 3 children. But i guess after the audition. i made a clear intent to give 100% to get ready for the grand finals and since then, i made more conscious de...

INTERVIEW WITH MR GRAND SINGAPORE 2022: JOEL CHUA (NO.8)

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? To be honest, it was when i saw my friend Stanley give the most touching proposal on coronation night. It really made me tear up seeing how emotional he got while on his knee 2) What was the prep process like? The prep process was pretty vigorous nearing towards the end, as there were many events to go for and practices to attend. Though vigorous, I felt that they were all enjoyable with the class of 2022 around. 3) Are there any nervous moments and stress factors during the competition and how did you deal with it? Yes definitely, Im always nervous whenever there is a Q&A segment as im afraid I’ll freeze up on stage or not be able to give a satisfactory answer. I guess how I dealt with it was to just let down my shoulders and enjoy the moment. Being relaxed and just being myself because that’s what people want to see! 4...
