An interview with Miss World 2005 - Ginger De La Loca
Dearest all,
OH MY GOD! You guys are never gonna believe this! I just had the most exclusive scoop for my next entry. Yes peeps.
Me considered the first yang interview ponen nih. Walaupun dinch face to face and only over the phone tapi mek tetap teruja dan terkasima dengan respond Miss G nih yang tak tahu menahu perbualan kiteorang akan dijadikan bahan utk mek buat entry baru blog mek. Hehehehe. Haliaaa haliaaa... ampunkan mek!
Just now, well, relatively, siang tadik, more specific, ptg tadik, mek called Miss G aka Miss Gurun aka Miss Halia Kering, the newly crowned Miss World 2005 at the recently held Miss Universe World 2005. It began as a normal phone call (sbb I intended to do the interview formally waktu mek nak jumpe dia this coming weekend) tapi tup2 bergosip2, dan mek pikir, dari bergosip2 dan buat dosa kering (which this Halia is very good at also) and further more buangkan duit bayar bill telephone kat ponen nih, baik mek cube nak get up close and personal with Miss G dengan soalan2 casual cepumas ala ala soalan2 duing q and a session inih.
*After dah nearly 5 minutes bergossip – mek selekoh tukar topic.
LL: Nyeh, tell me lar – what was it like during the event?
MG: Alah gal, u know la pageant2 ni. Macamlaaa hang tak biasa kan, lagi mau tanya mek. Anyway it was good la. A bit problems here and there but overall ok. I'm happy about the way it was handled....
LL: U ols faced any problems or difficulties tak prior to
the event? Cam mana u ols overcome it?? Citer lah sikit?
MG: Problems? Hmm mmg la banyak tapi koser lah mek nak listkan satu-satu. Anyway hang pun tahu kan apa problem2 nyer. Most of them are personal problems that I think should not be shared in public, if you know what I mean. Mek tau hang dok tanya ni utk letak kat blog kan? Hanjjj.... So mek dinch mau komen!!
LL: Kowser lah. Mek saje nak chitchat ngan hang. Over tau adik2 feeling suka tuduh menuduh. Anyways apa ko buat, I mean, your preparation for this contest? Before2 this tak pulak mek teringin nak menanya – tetiber je rase nak tanya, jawab siket?
MG: Biaselah gal, kita ratu2 ni perlu ker nak prepare bagai utk masuk pageant? Hehe... Taklah, mek memain jer. Anyway mek prepare quite byk gak but not as much as masa MU dulu. This time around I need to firstly get into shape by doing yoga. Then practise posture, catwalk & pose. At the same time, cari dress, which in my case I was lucky sbb mak ayam Iwan sponsor.
LL: Kelesss mek ayam Iwan sponsor ko ek? Er – siape dia itiew?
MG: Over tau ko tak kenal siapa Iwan. Yang waktu rehearsals MU2004 ko duduk tertiarap dalam ballroom ngan dia tu hape!?
LL: Owh that Mak Ayam Iwan, yang from Singapore itiew, kan? Kenal kenal kenal. Make ups alsos dias kers yangs buatskans u ols?
MG: Dinch u ols. Mekap pulak luckily Leez recommended kat Wai, who's a great mekap artist who did this amazing job on me. Lelain tu, adelah mental preparations and Q&A, logistics such as beli barang2 pakaian dalam etc. Alah gal benda2 biase la utk masuk pageant. Nothing out of the ordinary. And NO, I didn’t go mandrem yek, contrary to popular belief, hehe.
LL: Owhhh Wai katanye make upkan kau. Mek ingatkan si Ezzard Fieka Rashika Gothika tu siapkan u ols. Hehehe. Anyways What did you think of the contest, overall?
MG: L! Hang tingtong lah! Hang dah tanya la soalan tu. Over la pondan ni, aku yg menang dia yg tingtong... Hehe sial jer kan...
LL: Nyeh- mek tersasul la. Erm, apa nak tanya lagi ek? Was the crowd supportive towards you?
MG: VERY!! But they were supportive to all the contestants gal, so bukanlah mek nak kata mek menang sorak or what la. Some of our friends were in that crowd also, so diorg pun contribute to the support. That’s very nice!!
LL: Ooo... G, honestly, did you expect to be in the top 10?
MG: I hoped to be in top 10, tapi takdelah I expect apa2. You know my target only top10 kan?
LL: Yer ke? Hehehehe what was your initial reaction to the question
during the q/a session?
MG: I was like "What?" soalan tu mek rasa tricky sgt. Mek also tatau apa yg I merapu. Tapi I had points la, itu mmg mek make sure, sbb mek make sure tak lari dari soalan & kedua mek make sure cakap ade point.
LL: Rasa2 hang lah, hang eppy dak with your answer?
MG: Not as happy as I was with my MU question. Tapi overall ok la jugak, sbb mek kan alala blank masa dia tanya soalan tu kan. So, for a question that I was blanked by, I think its quite a sufficient answer la. And for that, I'm quite happy la...
LL: Erm, ape ek soalan yang u ols dapats malam itiew during the q and a ittiew??? Tanye reactions lah apa la, soalan yang ko dapat, harammm mek tak tahu pun?
MG: Over lah hang. Ko saje nak suruh aku cakap banyak tau, macam ko tak baca kat CD punye blog. The q was something like, alah normal la thank you this and that. Then I said something like I believe everyone agrees that its impossible for us to play God and grant someone an extra sense, in this case an extra eye. However,should I have one extra eye, I would like for it to be at the back of my head, so that I can see everything that's been going around my back.Then my usual closing statement and thank you la. Mcm biase...
LL: Nyeh – tu JAWAPAN hang. Mek was asking ko SOALAN ko dapat malam ittiew? SIAPA TINGTONG SEKARANG! Ko ke aku?
MG: E eh? Ko nak feeling sentap dengan mek nih kenape, hanjeng? Ehehe – soalan dia pasal MATA ketiga apa tah, where would I want my third eye if I were to have one lah. Haiyoh ko nih, suka tau memanjang lebarkan bende. Hehehehe.
LL: Ko macam tak tahu mek DQ! *Drama Queen. Anyways, if you could redo the answer, what would it be like?
MG: Hmmm, well, mek takde point nak cakap masa tu. So if I had the point "mata hati" tu, I would answer something like: I would choose to have the extra eye on my heart, because the eye of the heart opens the window to the soul. The heart controls all the other 5 senses, so if my heart has an eye of its own, it can control all my other senses and, hopefully that makes me a better person. Then I will do the closing and thank you la mcm biase...
LL: Haiyoh, very sentap jawapan ko sundel. Dah macam Miss Mauritius punye answer, only slightly better sbb hang jawab in English. But whatever, jawapan itiew, NAN ADO akan come true, unless we can turn back the time lah kan.
MG: Yer lah sundel!
LL: Nyeh, what do you think of other contestants, namely those who made it into the final cut of 10 finalists?
MG: I think they're all great & they deserve to be there la. Ada gak my friends yg tak dapat top10 but I think should have been in top10. Hey hey wait a minute, hang nak publish benda ni kat blog hang ka? Mek takut mengumpat lelebih nanti kang aku kena serang ngan pondan2 lain nih... Hang nak sabo aku noh! Binatang!
LL: Shuddup and just jawab jer lah soalan2 aku nih lahanat! Ko tak percaya kat aku ke? Dinch lah publisitikan semua nih u ols. KO kan suke low profile, I’ll keep it that way *walhal tgh tulis point forms kat kertas nih apa si G nih tengah cakap. Soalan sudah tertulis nih! Dia haram tak tahu, eheheheh, YA Ampun!
LL: G, I know hang hoped to be in top 10, tu pun sebab dah naik pekak telinga aku ko asyik cakap itu jer. But did you expect to be in the final 6? Honestly?
MG: Well I expected to be #5 or #6. As soon as I realized I didn’t get the two, I was quite certain I might not be able to make it into the higher positions. But as soon as they all sebuts nama mek, I mean, my country, as 1st runner-up, I was shocked la jugak. But happy. I think I waved to the crowd kot. Ntah mek dah lupa. Mek dah tingtong masa tu. I think the crowd went crazy kot. Chewah mek feeling banyak penyokong nih. L, hang jgn dok tulih benda ni dlm blog hang ok. Aku tahu lah ko dahagakan entry terbaru, kan?
LL: Sial je. Anyways, previously kan you were Miss Universe 2003, now 1st runner-up a.k.a Miss World 2005 – do you see yourself fail to keep up the glory as being ‘the number one’? Heheh – mek suka soalan nih.
MG: No la gal, because I never set my eyes on BEING number one. In fact, mek rasa this is quite an achievement. Yelah, hang yg tak serik2 puuuun selalu dapat number 2 kan? So mek alala ikut jejak langkah hang la. Hehe. Sorry nah, terlazer... Eh apa lagi ni, mek nak pegi break la sundel, officemates mek dah tunggu tu.
LL: Ala ko nih, macam lah tak biasa sembang ngan aku sambil jalan pakai hp tu? Ko kan suka catwalk, jalan je sambil sembang kat phone tu, bukannye nak kena saman pon. Anyways, hang ada dak rasa any pressures for you as you were ex-Miss Universe 2003?
MG: Pressures... I think the only pressure regarding benda tu, it comes from myself la. Alala what if I lose badly, mesti orang ketawa kat i. normal paranoia stuff mcm tu la. Ko kenal aku la kan, mek kan paranoia paradiso... Hehe...
LL: Nyeh, mek pernah bertanding so mek pernah rasa macam nih. Ko pernah rasa also dak at one point you see yourself not getting into the top 10?
MG: I see it at all times gal. mek keep my head level so that I can accept any result. Be it in top 10 or not.
LL: Your personal view about the new Miss Universe 2005?
MG: She's pretty as a doll, tapi a bit melayu la. Her answer was also in malay, but she's got a beautifully elaborated point. I think she could score better kalu dia jawap dlm english. Oh well she won nevertheless... I'm not questioning her winning oke, she deserves every bit of it.
LL: Tah lah nyeh, I was surprised to hear she answered it in Malay sedangkan mek tahu dia punya English va va voom ok! Tapi tak perlah. Pilihan dia. Nyeh, If you could change anything that you did that night at the pageant, what would it be? Very der ala ala soalan2 Miss also, kan? Hehehe
MG: Ntah la, I can barely remember. Nothing kot. I'm happy as is.
LL: Ko de rase nak pull out or withdraw yourself from competing dak?
MG: Nope, never. Pressures etc lagi membuatkan mek berkobar2 utk buat yg terbaik. Mek kan jenis keras kepala sundel, mek dinch give up easily.
LL: Nyeh, lastly, do you have anything else to say?
MG: Yes, please hang up. Hehe, I need to go lar girl. Lets sambung later kat MSN jer la ok?
