The nomination for the Mr and Ms SEG started in early Sep 09; the nominees were from year 1 to year 3 Engineering students. Interview of the nominees were conducted soon after. A total of 7 finalists were short listed from the interview session.
A dry run for the contestants was conducted a few days before the event
On the actual day, the 7 finalists had their last dry run before the start of the event. They had to familiarise themselves with the stage layout and the song / dance they intended to show case during the contest. Everyone was feeling both anxious and excited.

Our very first contestant Derek showcased his powerful vocals with a touching song, which won many hearts from the audience. Next, we had Afiqah, show casing her vocal with a song that the audience were familiar with. After immersing in two songs, the audience were treated to a cool and funky catwalk by Faizal and Joshua. Next, Fiona mesmerised the audience with her hip dance. Our last male finalist, Paul, won votes from the audience with a rock song. Lastly, our final finalist, Tiffany, show cased her talents by singing a lovely song. Audience at the forum were swaying to the rhythm of the song.
