ONCE UPON A TIME, I WAS THAT SHOWGIRL - Episode 17


From the last episode... Episode 16: 1st half of 2004 Part 2(i) - A road to another failure, Miss World 2004 - Bahagian 2

"First Runner-up, is Miss Dom. Rep. and the new Miss World 2004 is Miss USA!!!!!" Mek hampir2 pengsan (NOT DQ YER!!!!) tapi mek tahan, dan mek tahan jugak air mata itiew. Ramai kedengaran suara ketidakpuasan hati dari audience tu u ols! Tak percaya, VCD tu adalah bukti. VCDs tak propah la u ols! LOL! Apa apa pon, SO MUCH for maintaining victory, dua kali berturut2 kan? I guess malam tu I just had to akur dengan getting 1st runner-up, AGAIN (yerrr lah! Akur lah sangat! Dalam bilik ghengah nih nangis bagai nak rak. And surprisingly, Kak Vee pon nangis jugak - maybe dia sedeh tgk mek sedeh. Ke dia sedeh, penat2 dia make up, mek tak menang? Rugi jer make up! LOL! Tak lah! Mek rase Kak Vee tu pon turut terasa sedeh kot dan plus, she memang mudah tersentuh...) Dan yang penting, Abang Haidee and his wife masa masuk bilik mek turut menyatakan rasa ketidakpuasan hati mereka (sambil packing dress national costume mek dan my evening dress. Hehehehehe). Tapi, I won best evening dress what? Ehehehe - balik modal la kirenye - so mek ikut jer agreement mek ngan abang Haidee. Hadiah best evening dress dan best presentation on stage tu, mek split 50-50. Hadiah duit 1st runner-up pong mek split 50-50 (which memula mek tak tahu pun duit 1st runner-up tu pon mek kena split tapi dia ade cakap, apa apa yang mek menang malam tu, split. And its only fair lah kot sebab dia buat baju tu, tak der bayaran pa per. Tapi, dia cakap sponsor? Hmmm - pelikk pelik. Apa apa jer lah - mek tarkik!) So there you go; from a Walk To Remember as Miss Malaysia, to a road of yet another Failure! Mek sentap, tapi sehari dua jer. Lepas tu, ok dah ler. Ehehehehhe...

Episode 17: 1st half of 2004 Part 2(ii) - And followed by another failure, Queen of the Queens.

Kalu once dah tak serik2, dan masih belom terima seru suruh bebetul serik, selagi tu la mek tetap getek masuk Miss. I only figured out that kalau lagi mek dok masuk Miss, persetankan ape org nak kata. Lagi aku tak puas hati, lagi tu aku masuk. Dan I assumed that it'll bring me and my name dalam arena ratu ratuan and showgirl world up seup up nye! Hiks. How is that possible? Yer lah - disamping dok still sibuk buat show, mek tetap masuk miss, dan with that combi, org akan lebih lebihhh kenali me and my name. Everything I guess was for the name, fame and for my showgirl world - nothing for the sake of fun and self-satisfaction I guess...

But somewhere in April, May 2004, I did something for the sake of fun thingie - surprise surprise. Hikhiks! Ade this pageant, Queen of the Queens thingie; at first mek malas nak compete as the feeling of scared and takut kalah lagi menghantui pemikiran mek. Tapi couple of friends told me to join in with them and just have fun - well, I said, why not. I decided I will not spend so much on my outfits; kire pakai jer ape yang ade. And with the help of KW, ape2 yang lama pon, dia dah ubah dan redesigned it and kasik nampak a new look and feel.

Since the name of the pageant named Queen of all Queens, I guess yang masuk pageants tu pon by right should already feel like diaorang dah memang Queens, biarlah kalah ke menang. The pageant for me was somewhat like, nak pick the best Queen there is in town, among queens yang dah sediakala ade. So that semangat berkobar2 in me macam, merudum sikit la like, "Ala, kalau tak menang pong, dah sah sah namanye Queen... " so why bother? The last time mek masuk suka2 dan dinch put on any high expectations to win was Miss Universe Diva 2003 when I kalah ditangan Shasha Penang Miss India tu jer. And lepas2 tu, semuanye masuk, aimed to win aimed to win. This time mek cakap, ENUFF! Masuk jer for the sake of fun.

Make up wise, I managed to get Shasha Penang's make up artiste - Freda. Where's Kak Vee; kalu tak silap, she had something on pada hari tu, and kalau tak pon, I think the reason why I tukar ke Freda was simply becoz I nak ubah stylo sikit, saje je. Freda pong ex beauty queen, showgirl dan memang terkenal dengan make up yang vast. So mek calling2 dia, and cakap2 dgn dia, and she agreed to make up kan mek.

Dari rehearsals lagik I tried my level best to have fun, and enjoy. And surprisingly I did. Plus Eva and Emma pon bertanding also, so I was like, "Wwooo.. ok... ade gang" gittu la. Dari waktu rehearsals, mek dah tgk2 around, siape pulak yang bakal menang this pageant. Tak der pulak yang mek expect2kan pon, sebab, tah lah. Rehearsals lain, malam kang, lain pulak, kan? Look at me!? Ehehehehehehe... And so the rehearsals was like, erm, 'tegang' sikit. Choreographer very der garang onez. One thing I belajar was, when it comes to choreographing kat transgenders, senang sikit. With transsexuals, tah la. Macam, tah? Slow je? Must have been those hormones kot yang buatkan most of them (I SAID MOST NOT ALL TRANNIES YER) slow semacammmm jer. Ape ape jer lah, mek macam, 'whatever'.

Habis rehearsals, mek macam siap gi makan dulu la, itu ini la - like, the excitement and thrill dah dinch ade. Which made Freda and Eva pikir, Ape ke halnye la pulak si Loreal nih??? I didn't feel like "Owh I'm not gonna win lah malam nih" or something like that, mek macam... "Whateeeever lah nyehhh" gittu. Macam kuasa tak kuasa jer nak melayan ape ape2. For the first time otak mek set, "Have Fun" and whatever the result is tonight, "Tarkik!!!!" Then - siap2 make up, semua, VW arrived, then, as usual, sprayed glitters all over me - pakaikan kuku pelesu lagik, and then, dah - I was ready to head down. Dah siap pakai my casual wear for the 1st round. VW did this 'bengkung' ala ala kimono belt thingie tu in gold, matched well dengan my tessel messel dropping short skirt, and with a simple white top. Added with rantai2 labuh tu, ala ala Gypsie+Japanese stylo la sikit. Plus, with Fred's simple tanned make up, haiyoh! Mek suke!!!!! Ehehehe...

Turun ke changging room, semua orang cakap I looked different. And segala puji pujian dah dok kedengaran - but I didn't allow that to erm, take control of me. Mek still lepak, isap okok, sembang2, buat biasa (which was like soooo not me!) Then bile mek dah tgk2 semua contestats, ade lah sorang dua mek picked to be the winner...

Competition started with the casual round. As me went up on stage, sorakkan utk mek, like, ala ala kadar jer kot. Sesuai la dengan mek yang ala ala kadar jer itiew. But I personally loved the way I looked in the casual round. Tah la, maybe the make up ke? Maybe the casual wear mek ke? Tah - or was it the hair? Hurmmmm.... and habis casual round je, the first 3 subsidiary titles were announced; Miss Vogue, Best Casual, and Best Catwalk. Mek dinch expected anything although ade sedikkiiiiit jer hope nak menang Best Casual or Best Catwalk tapi NAN ADO - tak per lah. Mek pasrah... gittiew....

Then moved on to the evening dress round. Waktu that round, as much as I wanted to just "whateeeever" dan be all "casual and fun fun" jer thingie - mek tetap ade feeeling overdose SIKIT. Sebab why? I would have to say, my dress was, lain dari yang lain. And becoz of that, mek ade taruh expectations - like, mempertaruhkan satu bende je, Best evening dress. My dress yang very der Empire cut itiew (thanks to VW yang buat alterations sampai jadik cam tu, siap tambah bulu2 nih! Ehehehe), memang very der lain dengan contestants2 lain yang peragakan dresses yang "so... satu acuan" itiew. With that dress, I was feeling2 like a goddess thingie. And the crowd sort of like loved the dress. And I hope the judges will too.

Habis evening dress round, more subsidiary titles were given and when it came to the BEST EVENING DRESS award, as expected, mek dinch dapat. TERASA SENTAP SIKIT!!! But again, I didn't let it take control of me. Me wanna have fun jer! And with that attitude, BOOM! Terkejut mek when they announced me as the 5th contestant to have made it into the Top13! Owh!!! Mek sunggoh seronoks! Like, this is what I get for just having the mind of "I just wanna have some fun!"??? Kalu cam nih - mek suke lah! And again, I didn't let that 'moment like this' ruin my night. Mek tetap ngan pendirian mek, "whatever happens after this - think FUN FUN FUN jer!". True enuff... NO, I didn't make it into the final 5 cut. But I was still ok, although sempat bergossipan sekejap with the other semifinalists yang tak puas hati sebab didn't make it into the final 5 cut. What happened behind stage was, WOO!!! REALLY TERKEJUTKAN MEK! The drag queens practically went mengamok ok! Baling2 bunga kaca yang we got for made it into the top 13 semifinalist - ade yang menangis2. Ade yang menyumpah2, memaki2 belakang stage - and what did I do? Terbeliak bijik mata! Sebab first time I tgk other contestants sentap sebab didn't make it into the final 5 cut (usually ppl have to look at me and my DQness for not winning or something like that, kan? This time - I get to see orang lain pulak DQ). Serious, waktu tu, I was like, terkejut, dan, TAKUT kot2 bunga2 kaca yang dok berterbangan tu kena mek! Terus Eva tarik mek ke tepi and said "Nyeh, lets go eat!" Ehehehehe - and so kami berdua belah je dari the scene dan gi makan kat belakang hall itiew.

Why were most of them pissed? Ini citernye. After choosing 13, sepatutnye ade IQ test which will determine the top 5 finalist. Tapi, ADO? Nan ado. 5 minutes selepas semua top 13 dipilih, dan lepas MC tanye one of two contestants about how they felt being in the top 13 spots, tetiber, the MC announced "Well now L&G, lets move on - here are the 5 lucky girls who are goin' into the final 5 and be in the running for the title of Queen of The Queens 2004". Nyeh, tak ke semue top 13 tu macam blur? We each looked at each other, like, MOTIFNYE??? Cam mana diaorang pilih top 5 dari top 13 nih??? No IQ session pon? Kalu cam tu baik lah diaorang announced top 5 jer dari tadik, ye ke dak? I mean, you guys paham dak situasi nih. Mek pon tertanya2, ape kah motif diadakan pemilihan top 13? Nak buy time ke? Haiyoh! Mek sunggoh tertanya2.

Itu la sebabnye pepondan lain mengamuk bagai nak rak sebab they felt cheated dan unfair la kan sebab, yer lah, ape bezanye the top 5 yang terpilih tu from us yang tersingkir keluar dari top 5 itiew? Kan? Like, mek pon dinch hui marking system ke ape ke kan, yang mek tau, mek ngan Eva dah sebok bergambar2 kat entrance ballroom dan sebok makan2 ape yang dok ade kat meja buffet tu, sambil bo-layan ape yang tengah berlaku kat belakang stage tu, perang2 tu, lagik2 lah kami dinch concentrate ape dok berlaku atas stage tu. Yang penting makanan masuk dalam molot! Ehehehehee... Dan sedikits gossipan. Two of the judges datang jumpe mek personally lepas the pageant ended, and one of them was actually S**ep*ks; datang and hugged me - mek mata terbeliak nih ala ala terkejut, motif? Buang tabiat ke dia nih? Rupe2nye dia bisikkan kat mek sesuatuh yang mek hanya mampu senyum jer. She bisiked to mek cakap, dia personally picked me to win Best Evening dress. Dia sendiri pun tak tahu kenape results tunggang tebalik. Apa apa pon dia tetap puji dress mek. Haiyoh, S**ep*ks memuji mek? Haiyoh sunggoh mek tak dapat tidur lena pada malam itiew! LOL!....

Although this entry is about another failure, tapi, sebenarnye, gimik aje tu. Mek dinch feel it was such a biggy wiggy failure pon - I felt like, it was one hellava experience yang mek dinch leh lupakan - flying bunga2kaca, peponen mengamuks, a pageant which made everyone wondered ape yang dah terjadi nih? and stuffs. To me, walaupun mek dinch menang, I was still a Queen, competing in seach for The Best Queen of 2004 pada malam itiew... giiittuuu! Ehehehehehe.... So am not at all upset or pissed malam tu, and that really terkujatkan diri mek sendirs. Hehehe...
