A Miss Universe delegate does not compete in the pageant just for her personal gain. A more important objective is to do so for the love of flag and country. Nothing is more rewarding and fulfilling than claiming victory with the full support of your countrymen.

The Asian delegates (including Guam) may have varying degrees of cheers and fanaticism from their respective supporters, but the common goal is always to push and motivate their representatives to be the best they can be in achieving the top prize.

I can’t remember the last time a Miss Universe pictorial had the ladies and their flags as theme. It sure is giving everyone more reasons to vote and back-up. 😉

I decided to start with the Asian region first for the Fadil Berisha glamshots. Given the dozen ladies above, who do you think stood out?

Personally, my Preferred Three in this group are:

Let’s do head-to-heads between Ara Arida and twelve of the other Asian candidates in Miss Universe 2013. Who do you think is more superior in each pairing?

In alphabetical order now.

Ara VS Chalita

Ara VS Thi May

Ara VS Thi May

Here’s my personal pre-arrival take:

Ara Arida is definitely stronger than a dozen of the region’s best contenders for the Diamond Nexus Lab crown. However, there are three (3) ladies I consider with the possibility of giving her a really tough fight for the one or two semifinal spots that could be reserved for the region. They are: Whulandary Herman of Indonesia, Truong Thi May of Vietnam and Manasi Moghe of India.

I’d say that our rep should prepare for this trio first before executing her game plan versus the Central Europeans.

Your say, dear readers?

Miss Universe Singapore 2013 Shi Lim

Miss Universe Singapore 2013 Shi Lim

shilim21 Shi Lim’s brief bio states that she is a business executive who loves to dance, read, write and travel. And while the statement does not contain any information of intriguing interest to us pageant followers, the tall (1.76m) 24 year-old can actually make anyone sit up and take notice the moment she opens her mouth and speaks about an assortment of subject matters. Miss Universe Singapore 2013 is both articulate and engaging in person.

Will she be able to work out this asset in Moscow come November? With the onslaught of tough competitors from all over, the road will be the thorniest. But with the challenge of becoming only one of a very small handful of Singaporeans to place in the semis of Miss Universe, Shi Lim will be doubly motivated, I reckon. 😉
