Kaamatan Beauties

I got this picture from the undukngadau.com site. Benny was there at the very best spots during the much coveted event taking beautiful pictures! I don’t know where else to find such beautiful photos. So I grabbed this. Hehe! Tati Leonie Lawrence Gontuni from Penampang was crowned Unduk Ngadau State Level 2008. Flanking the beauty queen on her right in the picture were 1st Runner Up Tati Florence Masimbin from Kinabatangan and on her left 2nd Runner Up Tati Emily Majil from Tambunan. There rest of the winners were:

4th : Petronella Cherry Bernard [Papar]
5th : Verone Lansu [Keningau]
6th : Aloysia Thecla Philip [Kota Belud]
7th : Anne Mary Tariq Khan [Klang Valley]

 

Miss Penampang: Winner of Unduk Ngadau 2008!

At last! The crowning of the Harvest Queen Sabah 2008 went to Miss Leonie Lawrence Gontuni of Penampang! (Picture below) First runner -up went to my favourite contestant – and also the crowd’s favourite – Miss Florence Masimbin of Kinabatangan; and the second runner-up went to the lovely Miss Emily Majil of Tambunan. Gee, didn’t I hinted who will win the title in my previous post? Haha!

Apart from that, the highest votes for Miss Beautiful Celcom or Tati Tavanus Celcom also went to the charming Miss Florence Masimbin. She received a crown, a sash, RM500 cash and wow, of course she will be the new face for Celcom’s advertisements in Sabah! AND, to add to the feat, Miss Charming Kinabatangan had also been crowned as Tati Topiodo during the Gala Nite Kaamatan 2008.

I ‘received’ the news at 5.25 p.m. from my friend Aniza, who was also there to give her full support, especially to Miss Tuaran, Dierdre T. Joannes! She managed to be in the top 15 finalists. Wow! That’s a feat for a first-timer like her. I did not manage to watch the full event. I ‘quit’ half-way through the show.

Okay, okay, I know. I will update this information soon and hey, please do visit this site and sign up as a member! Haha, I’m promoting the undukngadau.com site. Savour the beauty-ness of Sabahan beauties.

 

Who will be crowned Unduk Ngadau 2008?

Wah! Stacy rindu Pesta Kaamatan di Sabah! This petite but lovable Sabahan local from Penampang just recently won the 6th season of a reality TV show, Akademi Fantasia. Go Sabah! Go Stacy!

Haha! Cute her, she was doing the ‘catwalk’ in this video. The thing I like about her is that she is not like Nadia (FYI, I’m not for Nadia FC or whatever it is). Stacy is stacy. She’s real. Everyone can see that.

Back to who will win the Unduk Ngadau 2008, will it be Miss Kinabatangan or Miss Tuaran? Miss Penampang? Will it be Stacy? Haha! Just kidding. I really do wish Stacy will fly her magic carpet to KDCA. She’s a charm.

This is another video from youtube featuring one of the local dances in Sabah. If you ask me what dance is that, I’d say I’m not sure. Perhaps it’s the ‘mangiluk’ ( do i spell it right?). You tell me what it is.

 

Harvest Festival: A Bountiful Event

I got this picture from undukngadau.com site – a site featuring Sabahan’s beauties. Two beauties were crowned with Miss Tosuau and Miss Topiodo during the Gala Nite on 29 May 2008. Miss Tosuau goes to Miss Kudat and Miss Topiodo goes to (my favourite pick) Miss Kinabatangan.

I managed to get a glimpse of all the 36 local beauties this morning at Hongkod Koisaan, KDCA Penampang. The ever-so-lovely Miss Tuaran, Dierdre Theseira Joannes, my fellow coursemate, is also another of my favourite pick. She’s a sweet girl, I should say. Beauty goes hand in hand with personality. She got the personality too!

Whatever the result might be tomorrow evening, the event is not all about winning the Unduk Ngadau title alone. Tadau Kaamatan is a celebration of a bountiful harvest, to appreciate what we have.
