ONCE UPON A TIME, I WAS THAT SHOWGIRL - Episode 8


From the last episode... Episode 7: Miss Teen World 2001 a.k.a Miss KJ (KELANA JAYA and not Miss Korek Jubur!)

Akan tetapi, gembira2 mek malam tu bergelar 'Ratu' - tak lama. Siapa sangka, siape menduga, LUKA PILU mengundang the next day... Macam orang tua tua cakap lah, "JANGAN HAPPY2 SNGT, PASTI ADE BENDE BURUK AKAN BERLAKU"... and so, memang ade pon. Something 'bad' happened the next day... yeap, the VERY NEXT DAY! Tak sampai 24 hours selepas kemenangan pertama mek dalam pertandingan ratu cantik - something terrible happened to me and affected my life and that something - I will NEVER ever forget...

Episode 8: Kusangkakan cerah panas sampai ke petang, rupa2nya, ado? PETIR!!!

The night I won Miss KJ a.k.a Miss Teen World 2001 tu tak berakhir begitu saje. Lepak pi lepak mai, gelak2 la itu ini, gossip itu ini - well, gembira punye pasal, the night ended apparently like at what, 5am!? Tu pun nak tidur pon tak berape nak lena - crown sebelah katil; sengih sorang2, ingatkan the moment I was crowned as Miss KJ tu.

Pun begitu I thought to myself - 'Gee, I really should get some sleep. After all, I've got a bowling tournament later...' Yes peeps, I bowl. Maybe not professionally but I've got 3 bola bowlings, a pair of bowling shoes, and also beg bowling - curlast dak? Berangan mengalahkan Shalin Zulkifli la al kaedahnye. From time to time, selalu gi bowl ngan Angah kat Sunway Pyramid and also Puchong's IOI Mall. But the next day punye tournament tu, was at Bukit Jalil's Endah Parade. Ade this tournament for this PLU (Gay) community - and I sort of like involved dengan my abang2 angkatz (yang apparently datang and supported me last night, during Miss KJ tu ler...). So anyways, by 3pm I was already at Endah Parade, bowling started at 4.30pm, habis at 7pm. YES, we lost. So sangkak - semuenye main ala ala jer, cam mana nak menang? Ehehehe - So was that the tragis sedeh pilu luka part? NOPE...

Went down to the parking lot, yang kat luar complex tu, depan2 rumah2 orang (bukan basement parking tau) - only to find out... "WHERE'S MY CAR!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!"

Click on this image to have a clearer view... SENTAP!!!!!!


Yes peeps! My Honda Civic 1.6Ex - with biggy wiggy sporty rims, lowered, multiple cd-player, boom boom speaker - GONE!!!! Nyeh! Menangis mek tepi jalan tu jugak ok!!! After like searched the area for 15 minutes kat area kawasan perumahan tu, tanye sana tanye sini, no one saw anything - yeap, so confirmed lah, sudah dicuri! And I started to think - "nih mesti pasal kes drag dan masuk2 miss nih! Bala dah la tu! Semalam seronok sangat! Ha, amik! Hari nih, kereta ku hilang!" - I was soooo upset dan sedeh seminggu dua; mana lagi nak explain to my family, mana lagi akan menyusahkan my pergerakan here and there - Things happened for a reason; I guess hilang kereta nih, nak kasik mek pengajaran, jgn drag?

TAK DER MAKNENYE! Well, maybe I stopped drag for a month (December). Tapi jgn tak tahu, sebabkan nama sudah up (thanks to various propah promo dalam IRC and also in BB becoz of Miss KJ and also as a new face in KL) - mana leh duduk diam? Semangat nak drag tu still there - still berkobar2. Dapat betis, nak paha. HOW!? Manusia especially me - tgh dilanda onak 'feeeeling' nak glamour lebih. Yes yes - what I wished for - mek dah dapat slowly. Am not gonna slow down on that - hati mek berbisik.

January 2002 - the year I mengorak langkah lebih kedepan. When 2002 started, shows kat BB I only buat when I feel like doin' (see, unsur2 berangan dah ade... isk isk isk). BUT don't get me wrong - bukan ape. I was pretty busy with flights and the fact that lepas menang Miss KJ, I suddenly realized something. I don't think this 'kayu-keras-when-it-comes-to-menari' is destinied to be a performer? Nope... don't think so. I've always liked to main2 miss2 lah itu ini - and then I realized - I think I should participate more contests - since those things don't require me to dance and perform, kan? :)

So anyways, in January 2002 - kecoh pasal Supermodel of the Year contest yang akan diadakan oleh this group of plu community, namely PERSOALAN? Group. Was I interested!? OF COURSE I WAS silly!!!... Ehehehe... but then, how, who, what, where, when - semuenye bermain dikepala otak mek. Not long after that, I got all the relevant infos from cik Ngah! Ehehehe - and this time, dia nak siapkan mek. Suke, mek suke!!!! Plus a new dress!?!?! Haiyoh - Angah nak jahit lagi katanye. I've got that green sari material I bought from Delhi, and so the design was nice, and Angah did a fine job in sewing the dress. Dua tiga hari jugak la dia buat - this time the dress tak sesimple dress Miss KJ. This one, ade lah designnye sikit, layer layer kan kain bahagian bawah tu, ala ala bertengkat tengkat la... top, off shoulder sebelah... kire cantik lah! Mek suke!

And this time - I tend to make preparations awal2, dari segi sokongan. Yer lah - first time compete di hotel nih. Mesti grand mek rase. So mek propah as usuals to my cabin crew friends and also my cousins. Walaupun the event was like in another 2 weeks time which leaves me to no time nak main2, I sempat lah jualkan satu table - 10 seats... ok la tu, kan?

Sampai jer time rehearsal - venue, one of the hotels in Bukit Bintang area. Rehearsals, mek dah bawak siap semue kelengkapan semue with Angah - dengar taklimat and stuffs... mek looked around - e eh? Bebudak KJ also ade? Eheeheh - jgn main2... 6 org perwakilan KJ ok... tak termasuk mek lah. Waktu tu pun, sembang2 lite2 jer. Maklumlah, baru nak kenal kenalan. Tapi semuenye familiar faces lah sebab dah jumpa during Miss KJ dulu. They were nice, really...

So cut2 story - siap2 semue di dalam hotel room - I checked in, with Angah. By 7pm, dah kena ade kat bawah. I went down to the ballroom with cik Ngah at 6.45pm. NAHHHHH!!!! Ade yang baru 5% jer make up, APE KES!?!?!?!!? Tak per tak per - so let them be, mek yang dah siap nih, duduk jer tepi2 diam diam, isap okok. Then later a bit, angkatan KJ GIRLS dah turun. Mak oiiii!!! This time they are REALLY well prepared! Cantik2 semua! MAKAN HATINYE! Terus I felt like "CIK NGAH! LETSSSS BALIK!" cam tu la lebih kurang. Takut gak. Soon I found out- this KJ Girl memang nama tgh up in KL. Up cam mana? Yer lah - the group yang selalu do things as a group - drag sekali, clubbing as gibek sekali... kalau kuar, baju semua sama warna concept. So diaorang ni noticable la kirenye. So where does that leave me? From one corner to non-existance... and then I noticed something else, BAJU2 EVENING DRESSES DIAORANG SEMUANYE CANTIK2!?!?!?!?!!?!?! Not just KJ Girls, but the rest of the contestants! BAJU meletop2!!! My EVENING DRESS!?!?! Dari digantung, terus mek sumbat dalam beg - I told Angah - SEGAN dan biarkan the dress kita jangan expose. Angah knew kot I was feeling insecured dan segan plus malu - so dia layan jer mek. And the first round was casual - AGAIN - I WORE THAT PATHETIC short dress I wore during IN MY POCKET Mandy Moore show, the same as the time I wore during casual round MISS KJ... APE KES!?!??!?!?!!? Save budget? Tak lah - just - tak tahu nak beli ape dah. Pakai jer ape yang ade. Besides, I participated this last2 minute, remember?

Lets! Carik, dimanakah Lea Laurielle!? Eheheeh - cepat! Teka CEPAT!!!!


So enuff details - just cukup mek katakan - I wasn't at all geared up for this contest - dah mula rase, out of place. Nanti apa org kata "Itu ke Miss KJ baru menang tu? Asal sangkak?" - Tah la. I was feeling, what, like, nak chicken-out jer. Tapi duit participation fees dah bayar (RM50) - dress, Angah dah buat penat2. Make up, ANGAH also. Tsk... cam mana ek? Go on jer lah.

Music started - casual round, mek keluarrrr up on stage jer, SURPRISE SURPRISE!!! SEMANGAT MEK terus naik when the crowd was like... WOHOOOO!!! Motifnye? Mek tgk table supporter mek, biase jer? Sorak lite2 gittu. Habis tu, dari mana datangnye sorakkan itiew? And so I found out that the KJ supporting team was there - supporting me as well. Aaawwww I was touched - and suddenly, semangat lebih up. Tau tau aje la manusia. Bile satu group sorak kuat, influences others to sorak also. By the time masuk evening dress - BIAR LAH my dress SENDIRIAN BERHAD buat - BIAR LAH bukan designers' dress - mek tak pedulik! I went out and gave my best! But my best wasn't good enough for me that night...

True I made it into top 5, I WAS SOOO HAPPY! I knew I could do this - I could WIN! I just had that instinct, I WILL WIN malam tu, tambahan lagi lepas answering my question during Q/A session...

"Sekiranya anda diberi peluang berjumpa dengan Dr. Mahathir, apakah yang akan anda bincangkan?"

"Thank you for the question. If I have the chance to meet him, I would definitely would like to discuss, with him, on how he do, to demonstrate to the world, that its not about skin colour - its about what you have in your heart and what you have in your mind. He showed that if we work together in harmony, we could make our dreams come true - and I just love to talk to him about that...."

"Kau nih nak jumpe Dr. M ke Nelson Mandella nyeh???" usik the mc immediately lepas I completed my answer. Usik no usik - I guess it contributed to the scores. I was upset, depressed, though masih menyimpan rase nak menang that night, tapi mek rase tipis - no thanks to the clown who main2kan my jawapan during the q/a session. Was he allowed to do that!?!?!??

The KJ Girls... and me... Supermodel of the Year 2002 contest...


So anyways - I placed second, and I kalah dengan Miss KJ 1999... was I upset!? OF COURSE I WAS!!!!!!! Sentap teramatz! Malu ya amatz! Baru jer menang Miss KJ - terus fall off dapat 1st runner-up? I guess it's true what they say, maintaining the crown in two seperate contests, memang takes a lot of challenges... and apparently, I failed to maintain 2 straight wins. Well - 1st runner-up pon, jaaaadi lah for that night, sebab, I was geared up for another contest, coming in April. Ape ek? Tunggu lah in "Once upon a time, I was that Showgirl" Episode 9...

i think your car might be towed kot. like in ampang point area, hey do tow cars if cars are parked illegally (as in not in parking lots & double parking). maybe u should check with the majlis pembandaran...

Hey Zingi: Dah dah I dah check dah ngan polis ngan MPPJ semua la waktu tu - cannot detect cannot trace... Polis pun cakap area Bukit Jalil tu memang black listed for all these pencurian kereta. Imagine, that day, waktu I gi report my car missing tu, I was the 8th person to buat report tu tau. 7 cases before me tu pun hilang area2 situ jugak... it was on a Sunday, so they don't tow ur cars on Sundays anyways... eheheh
