ONCE UPON A TIME, I WAS THAT SHOWGIRL - Episode 11

From the last episode... Episode 10: I once said...

Frankly speaking - that event bebetul will forever terpahat dalam hati mek - becoz so many things happened sebelum, semasa dan selepas dari Superdiva Beauty Contest 2002 itiew. And the 'later things' that happened in my life, yang akan membuatkan this story gets lebih intense dan lebih interesting. So, hmmm, ape lagi yang berlaku in 2002 ek? Ahhh... yes! To find out more - paham2 aje la. Nantikan kemunculan Episode - 11, Once upon a time, I was that Showgirl....

Episode 11: Coming towards the end of 2002... Dugaan...

Well, lepas Superdiva 2002, I was like, honestly - the talk of the town. Ade yang some good2 talks, MOSTLY bad stuffs - biasalah. Tak leh nak lari dari kejian manusia... yang paling org perkatakan/ persoalkan was...

"Nyeh - kenape si Laurielle tu? Tak sedar diri ke dia tu gayboy drag - alih2 nak bertanding dengan pepondan bertetek? Layak ke?"

Memang - memang diakui mek tak layak - but they said, siape berani mati nak bertanding, go on lah kan. For me - I nak 'naik' and to be the best is simply to compete among the best - biar lah ku dicopkan berbagai2... janji - I wanted to do this... and I'm determined to go and do my best. Dalam arti kata lain - Mek belum puas! Selagi.... well - lets just keep that 'selagi' ketepi kejap for the time being.

So anyways, after Superdiva - I participated in another pageant - more like a talent pageant thingie which I only made it into the semis. Again, that contest was for transsexuals - but, rules said, anyone can enter - and so I did. Well - getting into the semis pon sudah cukup berikan mek pengalaman performing/ competing in a local club, "Gold Hill Club" dedekat Jalan Ipoh. Crowd, Chinese mostly - straights. And me, being me, well - lets just say the crowd wasn't favoring me... so that was it...

Tgk lah contestant2 lenglain - very the meluak2 cikteks memasing - takut mek. Tenggelammmm!!!


Tried my level best to push myself forward to the finals tapi sampai ke semifinals jer yang mampu... hehhe!


Next was erm.... what ek? Owh yes... the contest that LeeZ berjaya kalahkan mek... (suke lah tu LeeZ tu... eheheheh - tapi jgn diperkecilkan kemampuan Mas Idayu wanna be nih - power jugak show dia, memang fight... MAAAATI LA MEK!)

It was A Star Is Born 2002 - a purely talent contest only - and it was opened for anyone, straights, gays, lesbians, and drags. It was somewhere in August I think - but that was the finals, at Federal Hotel. The heats however were done much much earlier to determined who yang berjaya, the final 10 finalist in the karaoke category, the final 5 impersonators and the final 5 showtime finalists. I was in the first heat, competing in the impersonator category. Who did I impersonate? Guess... eheheh- Christina Millian - Am to PM. At that time, that was like, THE COOLEST song for me! Loved that song. So compete pi compete mai - sampai habis heat - I was on top of the chart, securing a place into the finals. Finals pulak, I did "Overprotected" - which was like - a so-so thingie but thanks to a friend, who mainkan api for me that night, the show was, ok lah - tapi wasn't strong enuff to beat Diva Plavalaguna's team, performing Lady Marmalade - sejibik sangat! From costumes to props to everything - dance step - pergh! MEMANG tak leh ditewaskan dah. And thats when LeeZ came in 2nd runner-up - performed, 'And I Am Telling You', kan LeeZ kan kan kan? Owh and the KJ Girls pon bertanding jugak - but in a different category. They were in the Showtime category - and they got 2nd runner-up, and it was fun watching those girl cheering and getting all excited and all. I was happy for them too... yes - go figured, me went completely upset with it - macam, lepas that event, ppl dah start cakap pasal event itiew piula...

'Britney Spears Celup' dengan kawan baek... ekekeke.... Errr, kawan baek sebelah kanan pic, Beriteny Sepiers celup itiew sebelah kiri pic, sekian terima kasih...


"Nyeh - bukan ke Laurielle maintained number 1 dalam chart sepanjang heat? Apasal malam finals sangkak? Placing langsung tak dapat... ???"

Well - what to do - ku terima jua apa2 kata diaorang - nih la dia, nak sangat jadik showgirl/ dragqueen - terima jer la. Bukan itu jer yang diaorang skepulasikan, bahkan, macam2 lagi - like, at one point, cannot tahan lah... but sabar aje lah.

***Somewhere between this period of time, I competed in Queen Of The Night/ Year 2002 - Remember? Yang the first pageant I went to last year in 2001? Yang kat Serdang tu? Yeap - Miss Serdang 2002 - I participated - for fun sake. Tu pun sebab Miesya (Amirul, my friend tu...) suruh mek masuk - and so I did, and it was like - tah lah. Mek no komen sangat pasal that pageant sebab that pageant was like... SO SO aje lah and kalau I continue giving out comments - takut nanti orang kate ape pulak. So lets just say this - I participated, I won Miss Intelligent, Best Evening Dress - and I won the crown/ title of Queen of the Night/ Year a.k.a Miss Serdang 2002***

Pic nih dengan kawan mek di Bleu Bar - lepas balik dari itiew Serdang lah... muke penat tu, kan? Penat feeling lepas menang. Ehehehe. This is the only pic yang mek rase muke mek dinch pecah romah! Pics2 lain waktu Queen of the Year itiew - hazabbb! Dinch dipublishkan atas dasar rasa menyampah nengok... eheheh...


And so that was like - 2 kekalahan dalam masa yang begitu sengkat. And I thought that was it lah kan. Rupenye - penutup 2002... lebih kontroversi u ols! VERY DER! Sebab, twrds the end of 2002, ade another pageant, Miss Universe 2002 (for transgenders only). So obviously, I was like, qualified kan? NOPE - according to some - I dah tak qualified. Reason being, sbb I dah bertanding dengan pepondan bertetek transsexuals - so I dah tak leh bertanding dengan trangenders. Like, HELLO!? That really pissed me off. Seriously - I was geared up to compete in that contest, tetiber organizer cakap...

"Dear... I'm sorry to tell you this - but you tak leh compete this year. But I promise you, next year, you'll be the first to get the entry forms. That I promise you..."

MOTIF DAN TEMANYA? Why this year cannot, why next year can? Ade beza ke? I was really pissed plus confused. Seriously, I was. According to some - ade some contestants tannak compete IF I bertanding also. Why? Kenape? Ape salah I? Sebab I went and compete with transsexuals doesn't mean I'm a transsexual? Duh? I'm still in the transgender category ok!!! Kenape!!!!

Macam2 lagi la lepas tu, rumours pasal I dah besar kepala, bermulut jahat, semata2 kerana tak puas hati kerana tak dapat masuk Miss Universe 2002. I was like - tah lah. Very der tension time tu. Tapi after awhile, I was like - OK. Fine. Tannak kasik mek masuk, fine. I'll just attend that contest. Dah time nak beli ticket tu, pulak - diminta mek sponsor hadiah. Motif? Lagi lah mek blur kejap. Tannak kasik mek compete, semata2 nakkan mek sponsor hadiah ke? Haiyah... terima aje la time tu...

Dalampada sebok nak kasik selempang dan hadiah subsidiary title, sempat lagik mek pose pose for the cam... eheheh - curlast!


I sponsored couple of subsidiary titles - kalau tak silap - Miss Vogue, Miss Personality,... and Miss ape tah. Tak ingat dah la. Yang mek ingat, two of the awards, Miss India got it. And then Miss Vogue, Miss Zimbabwe dapat. Tu jer mek dapat ingat.

Attending the contest dan not compete - memang ramai org tertanya2, why. But I kept on saying... "Next year kite masuk wak. Kite tak sempat nak siap pa per lah this year... " Tu jer komen mek. Tapi sampai kesudah - mek really tak tahu, motif mek tidak dibenarkan masuk Miss Universe (MU) 2002... hmmmmm... competition ke? Hmmmmm.

Tapi seriously - 2002 - my name was like, macam, org tannak sangat kasik masuk bertanding. Walhal, I haven't won any major crowns/ titles, YET. Habis kenape perlu ade orang gentar?

"Nyeh - Laurielle masuk bertanding tak?"

Itu lah soalan yang paling kerap orang tanye bila adenye any beauty contests around town by the time 2002 ended and guess what? I was tensed becoz of that, really tension sangat2. Macam... kenape lah susah sangat nak accept competitions? I thought it is good to compete like this? Tak semestinya kalau mek masuk, mek confirm menang? Look at Desert Queen (the one yang kat Jalan Ipoh tu) and look at A Star Is Born... how? Kalah also kan? Hmmm...

So 2002 apparently ended like - sedeh sikit lah. Dah la kalah in the last 2 pageants/ contest- lepas tu, the issue about MU2002 tu pulak - haiyoh! Mek pilu! Mek sedeh! Mek sentap!!! Perjalanan menuju ke 2003 was like - dangg! Towards the end of 2002, makin ramai yang saw me as a competition- walhal, ade antara mereka were like, friends, mostly strangers - so its like, sedeh lah. Kite nak bertanding, for fun dengan kengkawan - tapi kengkawan feel I'm not a competition - more like a threat. Yeahhhhhhh that's the word - mek ala ala seperti satu ugutan utk diaorang. So dari sentap dan kalah (kalau kalah la) dengan mek - baik jgn kasik Laurielle bertanding... how sad can that get???
