Kee Hua Chee Live!: PART 1---MISS CHINESE INTERNATIONAL AT ARENA OF STARS WAS HELD OUTSIDE HONG KONG FOR THE FIRST TIME AND MALAYSIA IS THE FIRST COUNTRY TO HOST IT. NEGOTIATIONS TOOK 2 YEARS BETWEEN TVB AND RESORTS WORLD GENTING WHOSE TEAM WAS HEADED BY KEVIN TANN (YES, IT IS SPELLED 'TANN' AND NOT 'TAN' SO DON'T ACCUSE ME OF SLOPPING TYPING!) THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF PROMOTIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT. CONGRATS KEVIN TANN! WELL DONNE! (OK, NOW I ADDED EXTRA 'N' IN 'DONNE'!)

ALL BEAUTY PAGEANTS MUST EMULATE TVB (TELEVISION BROADCASTS LTD) OF HONG KONG WHICH IS ASIA'S PREMIER TV STATION. THEY WERE SO PROFESSIONAL AND EFFICIENT THE ENTIRE MISS CHINESE INTERNATIONAL PAGEANT FLOWED LIKE CHAMPAGNE AND SILK!

The ticket (which sold for nearly RM 2,000 and under RM 1,000 each) stated clearly seats were not guaranteed after 8 pm as the show would start at 8.30 pm.

True to word, empty seats were quickly filled by 8.15 pm so Arena of Stars were fully filled except for the last two ends with less than salubrious views. Actually Arena of Stars should sell these corner seats with diagonal views for RM 50 so the entire Arena would be packed to the rafters!

Since I was in the VIP seat I had a great bird's eye view and saw Carrie Lee Sze Lei and friend entering half an hour late. Her seats were occupied by others of course but Carrie Lee (Miss Chinese Cosmos 2004) refused to sit elsewhere though there were a few empty seats just 3 rows behind.

Security was called as there was a rumpus which titillated us no end. Luckily it was during an intermission so we could concentrate on this edifying sight. In the end 2 gentlemen gave up their seats but not the usurpers who remained glued to their seats and refused to budge a centimetre.

Well, it was Carrie's fault for strolling in late Malaysian style! The show was held in Malaysia but organised by professional Hong Kong crew! I was safely ensconced in my seat by 7.50 pm and finished dinner at Coffee Terrace by 7.20 pm! In Malaysia if a contest is supposed to start at 7.30 pm it is at least 8.30 pm before things get moving onstage and if the winners are announced after midnight, it is considered on time. Once I was at a beauty contest which dragged on till 1.30 am before the top winners were declared, god almighty!

So congratulations to TVB and Resorts World Genting for a stunning show that stated it would start at 8.30 and end at 10.30 pm and did just that! Amazing!
