Ok this is actually a delayed post.. just thought of sharing some photos.. Anyways, the event was held to present awards to recipients who achieved excellency in their respective fields.. no, i'm not one of them.. haha..!

The Appetizer

Anyways, it was a fine nite.. the food was good.. and i enjoyed the performances very much.. especially Noryn Aziz.. she communicated very well with the audience.. she sang Getaran Jiwa, Kau Selalu Di Hatiku, Gadis & Bunga, One Moment In Time & Can't Take My Eyes Off You among others..

The Beautiful Noryn Aziz

Faizal Tahir on the other hand, although he performed well, i thought he lacked some rapport with the audience.. he really needs to brush up his communication skills.. owh, he didn't even acknowledge the presence of his royalty, Tengku Abdullah.. huhu.. Anyway, among the songs that he performed were Mahakarya Cinta, Cuba, We Will Rock Yoiu-LOVE-I Don't Wanna Be Medley, Sampai Syurga & Gemuruh.

Faizal Tahir

Ally Iskandar as the Masters of Ceremony conducted the event rather well.. and he did managed to crack some spontaneous jokes too.. hmm.. what else huh?? that's it i think.. enjoy the rest of the pics. :)

Congrates Ida & Tania!

Yeah, they didn't win.. i know.. but they surely deserves tonnes of congratulatory messages.. they truly did malaysia proud.. i loved the way they raced.. and for me, they were the best racers this season.. they're competitive, they're strong, they completed every single challenges (unlike 'you-know-who!'), they're smart and most importantly, they know how to have fun!! I enjoyed every single moment when they graced the TV..

Talking about the finale, I can accept Ida & Tania not winning coz clearly, unable to get the right flight connection is probably their own fault.. altho' i would like to think that it's not entirely their own fault coz i'd blame that bloody ticketing whore who took over extended coffee break.. and just becoz of that, Ida & Tania got screwed big time!!! But the thing that frustrates me most is that the 4 hour penalty applied on Vince & Sam is useless.. it's like it doesn't matter at all.. Just imagine, Ida-Tania and Geoff-Tish depart at around 5+ am, and Sam-Vince at around 10. Operation hours for their next tast starts at 8. Sam & Vince could easily catch up with that.. An equalizer in the final leg just doesn't make sense to me.. And furthermore, this season's finale road block & detour, all of 'em require physical strengths.. Unlike the last 2 seasons where some of the tasks were mental challenges.. So teams with boys definitely have advantages..

For once, i wanted Geoff & Tish to win instead of Sam & Vince. I became extremely mad thinking that Sam who FAILED to complete the previous roadblock can win!! Geoff & Tish deserved it more than Sam & Vince! Owh, and when i saw Ida & Tania's confessions looking not as cheerful as always, and their eyes looked watery, i know that's it.. i'm pretty sure at that point Ida & Tania didn't win..

Whatever it is, they still did us proud. TARA3 won't be the same without Ida & Tania, that's for sure. =)

The Amazing Race Asia 3

Ida & Tania in the finals!!!

OMG, i luv luv 2nite's episod (9th ep) on TARA3!! best gile!!!
one of the best perhaps!

Ida & Tania is sooo inspiring!! Esp Ida la when she completed the cliff hanging task. I got chills when she was about to surpass Sam. I almost wept to tears coz i was damn happy knowing that Ida & Tania will be the 1st team in the final 3! Haha.

Ida showed her determination in the very 1st ep.

And as usual, these two ladies always hv something up their sleeves that never fails to make me laugh.. during the counting (limes?) task, Ida made some funny faces trying to overcome her boredness & she was sleepy at that time!! Owh, and there was one part where Tania said to Ida that it's time for them to run a bit (while searching for the clue box) ,and Ida made this funny gestures u know, like bugs bunny with her teeth out trying to run like a kangaroo.. haha.. don't u just uv 'em!! Owh, and hv u realised that Ida & Tania is the only team that have yet to be caught on camera arguing with each other..?? They hv always supported one another throughout the race even when they did not manage to complete a task the way they would want it to be.. these ladies surely deserves some props!!

Ida's expression when knowing they had to endure a 25 hour bus ride! classic!

I thought AD & Fuzzie was the least sporting team this time.. i can't stand all that walking throughout the race.. come on, it's the 2nd last leg of the race, can't u just run a bit..??!! i just don't understand them.. in the previous 2, 3 weeks legs of the race, Ida & Tania were last & in the brink of elimination, but they still raced with full determination & enjoying every moment of it.. So i'm very happy that AD & Fuzzie were eliminated.. It's about time.. wait no, actually it's long overdue.. huhu..

Eating the nasty tofu which earned them team no.1 in e.4

While Geoff & Tish were incredibly annoying, but it's kinda fun watching them quarrel all the time.. they kinda have this love-hate relationship throughout the race and they always manage to pull through every single challenge.. and in the end, all is well for them! Lucky Geoff having Tish as his girlfriend.. huhu..

the historic moment when IDa surpassed Sam!!

Owh, i can't wait for the finale.. Sam & Vince have incurred a 4 hour penalty, so perhaps Ida-Tania & Geoff-Tish are competing head to head.. but remember, anything can happen in TARA, and Sam-Vince might just sneak pass ahead the other 2 teams.. so it's anyone's game.. i'm just hoping that Ida & Tania will do Malaysia proud once again! in the last 2 seasons, both winners really deserved their victory.. i think that among the 3 finalists this time, Ida & Tania is the most deserving team to win.. they've held their integrity all the way, they raced well, and most importantly, they had fun.. Go Ida & Tania!!!
