Eric Lim was not a finalist but at least he has some biceps to show off. He was a singer who entertained the crowd when the marks were being tabulated

Verhyn Siau presented a Spanish style dance which rocked the crowd. I thought he deserved to win Best Talent and many agreed with me as the Best Hunk award winner Jordan Yeoh should be satisfied with the ultimate title but the judges voted for Jordan Yeoh

Verhyn Siau on stage. I think he needs to change his name as Verhyn is so bizarre and has not brought him luck as he deserved to win Best Talent. Why not Vernon or Vernis?

If you have abs like these, the least you should do is remove your shirt and let the world enjoy your hot bod a bit

No wonder Jordan Yeoh won!

Venesly Kok performed superbly but did no win win Best Talent. I never knew he was such a great dancer and showman

Contestant #17 Ng Boom Tuck performed on drums made from recycled materials. He had many supporters who wore '17' stickers on their yellow shirts and carried placards and banners in his honour but alas, Ng did not make it to the Top 12

Casper Chong's slicked back hair and dreamy countenance reminded me of the sultry men during the 1930s in Shanghai

All he needed was remove these braces!

Alvin Tiu...I love his surname as 'tiu' means something very naughty in Cantonese so definitely he cannot be Cantonese!

Opening show


PRESENTED BY NEWTIDE AND NEW ICON, 'HOTTEST HUNKS' IS MALAYSIA'S MOST IMPORTANT CONTEST FOR HE-MEN WISHING TO MAKE IT BIG ON THE MODELLING SCENE. SOME TOLD ME THEY DID IT JUST FOR FUN WHILE OTHERS WANTED TO PROVE TO THEMSELVES THEY HAD WHAT IT TOOK TO BE ONE OF THE 12 WINNERS.

Hottest Hunks is actually a calendar contest as 12 winners were selected, one for each month of the year. Those who missed the contest can buy the calendar end of December and drool over the biceps, triceps and abs! All is not lost!

A total of 30 finalists participated so the chances of winning were quite good at nearly 30%.

Of course I would have been asked to be a judge since I am an expert on male and physical beauty but alas and alack, the sexist organisers only wanted females and said I was of the wrong sex despite my pleas I am as good if not better than any member of the female species.

So all the 7 judges were sexy slim ladies except for Joanne Kam Po Po who has lost some weight but is still grandly voluptuous. Others included Miss Chinese Cosmos Carrie Lee who is getting married on 11/11/11 and Chui Ling.

Nellie the editor of New Icon kindly invited me to join her big boss Low Beng Chee, CEO of Life Magazines from Nanyang Press Holdings. Of course such VIP seats are next to the stage and any closer I would be on the catwalk. So I got a fabulous view of the semi-naked bodies to the envy of all the boys and girls standing behind.

Even better, Low Beng Chee invited me to join him for dinner as the food and drinks were temptingly laid out before me on the low table. As I didn't have dinner since I was rushing to be on time, I gladly feasted on the plates of local food before feasting my eyes on the men later.

The contest opened with casual wear sponsored by one of Malaysia's most successful designers Key Ng. All 30 finalists strutted on stage as the audience clapped. Mind you, the audience had plenty of men so I think they must have come to support their friends or else to admire the contestants' bodies.

All the 30 guys were Chinese since New Icon for Him and Newtide are top Chinese magazines. Each had to answer questions from both the 2 emcees and the judges in Mandarin, Cantonese or English as a last resort but being able to speak Cantonese was a must.

Behind me was a group of at least a dozen people, each wearing a sticker on yellow shorts that read '17'. I was consumed with curiosity so I asked what was the meaning of the number 17. "We are here to support contestant 17!" they chorused. When #17 appeared on stage, they went wild and even carried banners with the word 'Hunk #17' but alas, number 17 was not one of the divine dozen. However he was one of the 5 subsidiary title winners. Many thought he would be one of the twelve guys. Perhaps the judges were put off by such overt display of support. You never know what lurks in the mind of women! This is why I never married and stick to men!

When the first batch of contestants strutted out, I was impressed, not by their height but the lack of it! Contestant #1 Wesley Yap was all of 162 cm while Cheng Kok Kt and Marcus Chee were only 167 cm. The height improved and grew taller as the models came out later so it was a case of from short to tall! The last two, Wearne Chin and Verhyn Siau towered at 183cm! The winner Jordan Yeoh who won the ultimate title of 'Best Hunk Award 2011' stood at 178cm, my height exactly! So being 183 was no guarantee of victory.

There were no first or second runners-up as all 12 winners were deemed equal but of course one was more equal than the rest so Jordan Yeoh, who was one of my favourites, was selected the Hunkiest Hunk of all, like the One Ring to rule them all!

The Most Stylish Hunk sponsored by Redken was LowThien Yien.

The Best Sculpted Tummy Hunk sponsored by Men's Skin Care was Chris Chan. Considering he was 36, he certainly looked great and his tummy beat other guys who were a dozen years younger!

The Highest Voted Hunk via SMS was Ng Boon Tuck who was also 36 and looked great for his age as no one would think he was that old.

The Best Talent Award was Jordan Yeoh who also won Best Hunk Award and took home RM 5,000 cash. By chance Jordan Yeoh was contestant 24 and he was 24 years old!

Sixteen contestants participated in the non-compulsory talent contest and those who did not could not win the Best Talent contest but was still in the running to be one of the top 12 calender boys and Best Hunk awards.

It was a rarity for the winner of Best Hunk to also win Best Talent Award but Jordan Yeoh was that rara avis! I already placed him in the top 3 when he appeared on stage as he had that star quality.

The Divine Dozen are;
1; Alex Choong
2; Kenji Yew
3; Cheng Kok Kit
4; Sean Wong
5; Jordan Yeoh
6; Lim Joo Khai
7; Marcus Chee
8; Chris Chan
9; Damien Chee
10; Jack Goh
11; Low Thien Yien
12; Venesley Kok
