Beauty Pageants - Bilamana harinya kian tiba...


Yerrrr lah - bilasanye dosi mau sampai ke hari kemuncak mana² pertandingan ratu²an nih, mula lah, sebok sana sinik, kan? Promo yang memula dijalankan dari mulut ke mulut, kini dosi advance, sudah dari laman web ke laman web, dari blog ke blog, in the mIRC? Lagi, in YM? Lagi? Aiyoh - banyak lagi la u ols. Perlu ke me sebut all? Nah - emails, tagboards, FAX (motif fax!? Hahaha... just kiddin'...)

So anyways, selain daripada kekecohan mempromo bagai the contests and the tickets and what not, nih, contestants nih - ha - ade la yang mula nak cuak panik lah, ade yang tak confidensi lah (walhal waktu submit borang dan bayar entrance fees tu, confident lak?), ade yang migrain la pikirkan itu ini, make up artists tak carik lagi la, dress tak siap lagi la, and etc - APA KES? Tak perlu la nak cuak² bagai nih u ols. Ikuti this entry nih, all about...

Preparations - Dos and Don'ts menjelangnye
hari competition itiew nanti... hiks!

(Tetiber mek pong sebok lahhhhh nak buat entry cam ginik time² contests dah hampir dah nih - sebulan jer lagi. Hehehe. Tak per, mek buat nih, nak share dengan semua - mek bukan cikkut tau!)

Why not kite nengok what this entry will cover:
  • Sebelum pageant rehearsals
  • Semasa pageant rehearsals
  • Selepeas pageant rehearsals, before pageant night
So now, lets - kite ikuti, The Dos and Don'ts sebelum menjelangnye hari gilang gemilang itiew nanti (MEK SENTAP tak dapat pi IQP katanya. Benci lah! Kejap boleh kejap tak boleh kejap boleh - mek tensi!!! *Mujur dress tak siap lagi... hiks!)

Sebelum pegeant rehearsals/ contest day

This may be like, 2 3 bulan sebelum. Like, bergantung pada individu, masing² ade pilihan sendiri bile nak start buat prep. Prep di sini bukan skadar prep. pasai pakaian, dress, accessories and what not - also, mengenai kesihatan, diet, persiapan mintak cuti (for those yang bekerja la kan...), nak kumpul duit bagai, nak call itu ini semua - itu penting yer. And normally, rehearsals kan dua tiga hari sebelum the pageant itself, kan? So by that time, yang penting, u ols dosi siap the followings supaya tak der lah kelam kabut last² minute:
  1. Bayaran entrance fee contestant dosi dibayar : YER! Jgn waktu rehearsals nanti organizer mai kat hang... "HOI! Mana entrance fee kau!? Ade hati datang rehearsals buat muka tempoyak basi, KAN!?" Nah - terus u ols leh menang Miss Paling Keji Di Malukan During Rehersals tau! Jgn gelak - ade ok! Ade yang ptg hari pertandingan, BARU NAK habis bayar duit entrance contest - HOW!?
  2. Sudah siap dengan preparation pakaian, jurusolek, dandanan, kasut, wig, accessories bagai : It's good lah to siapkan bebende nih awal². Jgn last² minit... "Lady... u ade dak any accessories yang u tak kasik anak ayam u pakai malam ni? I lupa la nak bawak. Pinjamkan boleh?" NAH! Ini berlaku yer - October 2004 ok! Cam mana tu? Please lah - prepare lah bebetul². Am not asking you to go and prepare beribuan bagai ok. Tapi at least, get the basics ready lah kan gals. I mean, face it. Nak masuk contest, BUAT CARA NAK MASUK! Jgn ala²... "ALA, I MASUK FOR FUN JER. TU PUN KAWAN² SURUH MASUK..." Nope! As ex ratu yang dosi kertu katanya, MEK TAK LEH TERIMA ALASAN macam tu. Yer, nak masuk for fun tu boleh, kawan paksa masuk pun boleh - BUT THAT DOESN'T GIVE U THE RIGHT TO NAIK STAGE TERKONTANG KANTING INCOMPLETE! Mek pantang, dan benci tau org masuk miss buat endah tak endah jer. Kalau cam tu - TOK SAH MASUK! *motif mek DQ? Hehehehe... Dah pemilihan dress, tolong la buat bebetul. Kalau nak sewa pun, pepandai la pilih. Jgn pakai main paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakai jer ape² - ape org kata? TANGKAP MUAT? Hish - mek tak suka tau contestants cam tu. Pi la fitting, kalau yang sewa, pi la try it on first and tgk apa² yang patut. Kalau tak sesuai, amik jer yang lain. Kalau those yang nak buat dress, tolong la design bebetul. Jgn design tungging tebalik, nantik hang naik pentas pon tungging tebalik! Owh and erm, bab KASUT! Waktu pi beli kat Vincci tu, hehehe - TOLONG LA TRY! Jgn nanti, malam contest tu, kang SAKIT kang - sapa nak tanggung? HANG SENDIR LAH! Mrasalah u ols berdiri atas stage tu senget sebab kaki sakit katanya! HAHA...
  3. A week before contest tu, get enough sleep/ rest : Ini penting gals! U don't want to get up on stage with eye bags everywhere here and there (Kat mana lagi eyebags kalau bukan bawah mata, kan? Gila la aku -"everywhere here and there" katanya! HAHAHA!). And yes, TIMUN is a good idea u ols. Memalam tu, tempekkan sajork. Bukannye susah. BUKANNYE ADE TAX pun kat timun tu - opps! Pemakanan also kena jaga. A close friend of mine pernah carut mek... a week before contest... "Nyah... ko nak diet² apenye seminggu nih nyah! Tak der maknenye ko nak kurus within a week..." - MEK TOTALLY DISAGREE. Kalau bebetul diet style, IKAT PERUT (mek tak advise ok but if u ols nak ikut, MEK TAK TANGGUNG PA PER EK!), a week pun ade bezanya tau. And kalau dok makan jugak within that one week tu, mek takut corset tak muat tau! Ataupun, corset terpaksa diterbalikkan - opps!!! Kalau rajin, exercise la sikit, buat yoga ke ape ke - it helps tau, eventhough dalam masa a week or two tau...
  4. Prepare yourself mentally and physically : Physical nye mek dosi highlight tadik; now lets talk about MENTALLY. Mentally sinik, bukannye nak buat IQ test ke ape ke tu. Yer, memang ade Q&A. Tapi itu bukan maksud mek. Maksud mek kat sini - prepare mental tu ie. APE TUJUAN MASUK CONTEST? or WHATS MY INTROLINE? Practise u ols! Sebab mek tgk some adik² main² sangat during introduction. DO YOU KNOW YOUR INTRODUCTION LINE TU, carries out points? They (the judges) can see how prepared you are, how confident you are, and etc. So don't you dare for one minute to think of buat lawak² bodoh during introduction time tu. Meluat aku tgk - nak buat lawak bodoh, JOIN SARKAS! Not beauty pageants, ADA PAHAM? Selain daripada itu, yer, berbalik pada Q&A - kena la prepare siket. Jgn buta² jer naik pentas - then terpilih top 10, terus KEMPOT tak tau nak jawab. Org tanya sumbangan anda terhadap masyarakat, u go and jawab "I nak bukak kilang sabun" - how? Tu kes cuak. Cuak why? Sebab tak prepare mentally. Physically you can go all out - tapi kalau tak balancekan dengan mental prep u ols, POINTLESS la masuk contest...
  5. AHA! Ini penting;  Start gettin' supporters! : Call all the ppl in your myspace, friendster, blog, phonebook dalam phone, email those dalam ur mailing list - do whatever it takes, to get these ppl datang and support you. WHY? Would you believe judges pun akan terikut dengan sorakkan audience. Diaorang tau audience nih kalau dah start sorak gile², then they know yang contestant nih hot favorite diaorang. Ramai yang tak percaya, sorakkan tu bawak effect penting. But to me, dgr kawan² roaring and cheering you up on stage, mek akan terus confident biarpun sebenarnye mek lack of it waktu tu. Sebab you know, they're there down there to support you, tu yang akan boost up ur spirit and confident level!
Semasa pegeant rehearsals
  1. Yer - some contests, the organizers will buat rehearsals a day or two before contest tu. Dan yer, amik lah kesempatan nih utk berkenalan dan get to know other contestants - dinch kekwat! Untung² leh menang Miss Congen? KAN?
  2. And waktu rehearsals tu, TOLONG la - TOLONG LA pay full concentration. Kang org suruh buat lain, malam kang buat lain! HAPO KES!? Tu kes memain la tu during rehearsals! U don't pikir² yang rehearsals tu dah macam the real thing. Real thing malam tu nanti, bratus org akan watch u, LAIN noq. So jgn la memain waktu rehearsals. Imagine lah it's the real thing - get the feel.
  3. Please JGN all out pulak during rehearsals. Jgn catwalk over² - kang ade yang copyright kang! Jgn baca ur introduction line tu penuh², make it short jer - preferably cakap Nama and Negara jer... Lagi pun, rehearsals tu diaorang akan buat berulang kali. Habis tu, tak ke muak ko dok cakap bende yang sama sajork over and over again. Lama² contestants lain pun leh ingat hang nye intro line, ape kes? Hiks!
  4. Kalau boleh - bring your heels and put 'em on and walk with those heels during rehearsals. It's good tau, especially for new heels. Get the feel. Owh and plus, before pakai tu, (FOR BRAND NEW HEELS ONLY YER!), gigit² sikit kasut tu; ini my mak ayam said to me before and terbukti. Normally, after belik heels baru, I will always gigit²kan tapak yang kat depan tu sikit jer, so that the heels won't gigit ur feet back nanti. And selalunye, tak der pa per pon jadik. LAST WEEK when I was in KL, kan mek belik heels Vincci baru - and I forgot to gigit heels tu - NAH! SAKIT SIUT! Walhal bukannye mek tak penah pakai heels pun. Bende nih pun banyak kali jadik kat kawan² mek. Bukannye mek nak suruh hampa percaya sangat², tapi its like, petua pageants kot. Noq, u're gonna be in those heels, 3 to 4 inches high, for more than 3 hours malam tu. Jgn buat kaki ko sakit noq. Gigit jer kasut tu sebelum pakai for the first time, bukannye nak rosakkan pun heels tu (and gigitting the heels won't make your gigi jongang lah!) Hehehe... it's just one of those believes la kot - nak ikut, ikut la. Tannak, sudah... NEXT
Selepeas pageant rehearsals, before pageant night
  1. Since semua dosi siapan, maka - tak der lah banyak sangat nak kena buat. Maybe some last minute shopping ke ape ke, nak beli pantyhose ke ape ke, panties ke padding ke ape ke, glittering spray ke ape - buat la time² tu. Cuma one advise, JGN KELAM KABUT! Kang satu haprak pun tak jadi tau!
  2. Relax, jangan pikir bukan² - tenangkan otak, remember ur steps like in the rehearsals, ingatkan ur introduction lines, and etc. Jgn semakkan otak. Ha, that's why I said it's good to prepare everything awal² so waktu nih, you get to really relax while your make up artists tgk transform u ols tu. Jgn jadik macam last minute semua baru nak prepare - isk, susah noq susah!
  3. Grab something to bite - jgn jadi cam mek. Tak makan langsung pa per. Susah - kang waktu contest, ha, mula la perut nak meragam - lapaq la, itu ini. Senak la, memacam. You don't want that to happen to you ok. I've been there done that dan kena ketuk dengan Eva brapa kali dah pasal kes tak makan nih. So jgn biarkan mak hayam u ols pulak ketuk kepala u ols!
  4. Drink plenty of water - it'll keep u fresh and u ols won't get dehydrated.
  5. Remember one thing - whatever happens that night, semuanya just for fun... :)
And always remember one more thing - ini mek selalu cakap kat kawan² mek, anak ayam mek, and others yang mek rasa mek nak advise...

"DONT JUST 'TRY' YOUR BEST
FOR THE CONTEST - COZ SOMETIMES YOUR BEST
IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
WHAT LAR 'TRY²'?
YOU THINK YOU GOT 2, 3 TIMES
TO DO IT AH?
SO DON'T 'TRY' LA, JUST DO UR BEST LAH!!!"

Ok? Good luck girls!!! Bayenduiii!!!

PS: Mek rasa kan mek dosi pernah buat tau entry serupo cam gini? Check punya check - betul lah! Somewhere last year, waktu tu mek STILL kat Blogspot, mek dah penah buat entry advise lagu nih. Mau check it out? Click HERE nah? Hehehehe...

Hehehe thats beside the point lah - itu skadar nak ceria²kan the entry. Tapi true what, some of these adik² masuk contest, memain. MELUAT aku tau. Nak masuk buat la cara nak masuk. SEDEH tau some of them. It cemar dan jejaskan those yang really went all out - kesian. Tapi yer lah - nak kata tak de experience pon, boleh dijadikkan point. Tapi tgk diri kau sendiri la Babe - Miss World 2002 - u were first timer, KAN? were u main2 up there and jadik badut? DAK kan? so mek tak paham la some of these contestants, nama jer contestants beauty pageant tapi mek rase, Miss Zoo pun belom tentu terima application diaorang TAU! *NOTE: mek cakap to SOME jer yer - yang lenglain yang tak dak kaitan, tok sah la sentap nah. kalau terasa tu, HANG BADUT SARKAS KA!? hehehehe mati la mek DQ kalau bab bab beauty pageants nih - LARIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
