Hello everyone,
I'm a Puerto Rican journalist living in New York City. I'm also a fan of male pageants. I enjoy watching male contests like Mister World, Mister Puerto Rico, Mister Joven Internacional and Hombre Internacional.
I do follow Hombre Internacional closely in Puerto Rico every year since 1998. However, in 2000 Singapore made a big impact on the contest with your country's 1st international winner. The same went to 2001 when Mister Singapore won the title again. This is a record in history! 2 international winners from the same country in 2 years. My congratulations to you all.
I was very impressed and interested on the organization that prepares Mister Singapore. I had the opportunity to meet the organizer of the Mister Singapore contest, Mister Alan Sim after Hombre Internacional 2001. We chatted briefly during one of the post-contest activities. Mister Sim gave me the impression that was lasting, determined, confident and knows what he wants; these are qualities an organizer should possess. Yet he is so humble and sincere.
I was also introduced by Mister Sim to Hombre Internacional 2000 (Zul Dawoo) and Hombre Internacional 2001 (Leon William). Both of them are exceptional professional, well mannered and impressive, and they were super, super prepared and knew how to handle all situations. Even the press and my Puerto Rican pals were super impressed!
Since then, I started to watch his pageants closely. I realized that when Leon won Mister Singapore 2001, he wasnÕt impressive because he didnÕt have the best body or face during the Mister Singapore 2001 contest. He was totally transformed for Hombre Internacional 2001. When I asked some people about the SingaporeÕs contestants, they all have one thing to say Š SUPER PREPARED! ThatÕs the key to success.
Many times when a national contest winner is crowned, there is always mixed reviews from the people. But with preparation, the winner is always super ready, and in this case, all the Mister Singapore winners are that.
I believe that Mister Nigel Lee who won Mister Teen Singapore 2001 will definitely be SUPER prepared and ready for MISTER TEEN INTERNATIONAL. I think so that when he begin to arrive for the contest, he will definitely be up for the running for the international title.
People always look forward to your Mister SingaporeÕs arrival to Puerto Rico to compete in the male contests here. To them, Singapore is the country to go after!
I believe that with Mister SimÕs preparation to Mister Lee, he will be up and ready for it. He doesnÕt have to be the countryÕs favorite or best looking guy. The point lies with his preparation and if he is ready to win it for the country.
I always admire Mister SimÕs ways of training your winners. He always has ways to do that to prepare your winner in the male contests. Who knows Mister Lee might win MISTER TEEN INTERNATIONAL 2002? I would think so that. As everyone says Singapore is the country to go after to win the international title.
Finally, to Mister Sim if youÕre reading this message and if you still remember me, congratulations on your success with your Mister Teen Singapore contest. I look forward to meeting you again in Puerto Rico soon. Best of luck to Mister Lee in Mister Teen International 2002.
P.S.: In my mind, youÕre the WINNER of Mister Joven Internacional 1997 and not the 1st Runner-up.
