If you could recall, back in April, it was, "The Journey To International Queen Pageant 2006", right? Now, mrasalah this time around, its "The ROAD To Miss World 2006 Pageant" piuler! Mek sker mek sker! Suddenly mek feels feels like 'The Road To Wembley', bole? Harharhar! Anyways, back to my 2-parts entry. Before I even begin, giving you my fellow blog readers, the full coverage story, inside and out, backside and front, up and down, left and right bagai about the recent Miss World 2006 Pageant in which I competed and ended up winning nih, Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to state a disclaimer specially created specifically for these 2-parts entry... (Graannnnd, kan?! Siap ade Disclaimer bagai nih? Ko ado? Hahahah!)


Tu diah! Mati lah Disclaimer pon dah 3 perenggan, ek? Tu belum lagi mula talking about the subject of the entry, kan? Muahahaha! Rasain! Bukan ape tau; I feel that this Disclaimer is necessary to prevent any happenings of carut mencaruts, caraz  mencaraz and caci mencaci bagai semua to which I believe ade yang sengaja nak mengata and bring me down and tuduh me purposely buat entry nih dengan niat nak boast about my victory and bla bla bla yadey yadey yadey - walhal the main purpose for me nak buat entry nih nak share jer my personal experiences, yang pada pendapat mek, one of the best experiences of my life dalam dunia ratu cantik, ever, kan? So like stated in the disclaimer - ko ada hak, mek tak nafikan. Dan mek pon ade hak as penulis nak menulis - so lets just keep the differences to ourselves, nah?

Right! Now, LETS! Mulakan -


INTRODUCTION TO MY INTENTIONS

I have to admit it - dulu, once upon a time, I said, enuff is enuff la kan with Beauty Pageants. Cukup la - dah tak mo compete. And so I managed NOT to compete and took that rest (sampai naik gedebab bagaikan tong dram 75kg ok!) sampailah in April 2006 when dengan tidak semena², me decided nak masuk International Queen Pageant 2006. Dan THAT pageant was the 1st pageant yang mek masuk sekadar utk suka². But ended up, mek membimbokan diri sendiri la kaedahnye, kan? Hahahaha. Lawak la lawak - I have no regrets for doing so ataupun menyesal atas apa² yang telah terjadi/ atas apa² kesalahan yang I did during that event, for I believe that, TANPA kesilapan dan ke-bimbo-an tu, I will not be able to learn and do things right, kan?

So after IQP2006, rumors mengatakan yang the organizer of IQP2005 and IQP2006 nak buat Miss World 2006 in November. So waktu tu, in June, or was in July - mek dah tempah nama utk Miss Venezuela. Again, mek sekali lagi bertemakan niat nak masuk suka². Only this time around, mek bernekad walaupun nak masuk just for suka² without expecting anything, still, mek tannak abaikan the thorough preparations which includes preparation utk the national costume, evening dress, penampilan diri dan most importantly, the IQ/ mental preparations! Bak kata seorang ratu terkenal dikalangan bloggers, "BETTER PREPARED TAPI TAK DAPAT, RATHER THAN DAPAT TAPI TAK PREPARED", kan? In IQP2006, I got into the top 10 but wasn't prepared - so this time around, I'm prepared for what so ever la kan resultnya. Yang penting, mek nak prepare bebetul, sehabis baik, buat sehabis elok, kalau ade rezeki, adooo lah kan. Kalau tak der, mrasalah "LA LA LA LA LA LA" kan sajork, kan? :) Yang penting, mek nak cuba do my level best, not just TRY my best - sebab sometimes, TRYING is just not good enough. Mek nak DO my best and tebus maruah kekalahan memalukan mek di IQP2006. At least mek figure out, kalau tak menang pon, tak dapat go into the final 3 cut pun, tarkir. Sebab yang penting, mek harap mek dapat be in the top 10 and jawab bebetul kali nih for the Q/A round, kan? Mrasa... :D

PREPARATIONS TO FACE THE DAY

Preparations mek started as early as July dengan mulanya program diet sampai nak MAMPOS! Sampai dicarut bagai oleh KB sendiri sebab katanya mek membahayakan diri sendiri dari segi kesihatan mek. Namun, mek hargai nasihat dan concern dia, tapi, kalau dah dasar memang degil, ketegaq, keraih kepala, KB kata apa pon, tetap lah ADDINCH bagi mek, kan? So to KB mek - again, maafkan mek - mek akui niat baik ko concern pasal health aku, tapi I just HAD to go on dengan diet bodoh sial tu. Apakah jenis diet itiew tatau!? *Mrasalah lepas nih aku kena tempeleng dan dicarut bodoh lagik oleh ramai lagik org sebab ala ala membahayakan diri sendiri semata² nak kurus, kan? Muahahaha...

Mek mengamalkan konsep Herbalife tu lagi, disamping pengambilan diet pills. Pada mulanya 2 jenis, NH Detoxlim and Xenical - lepas tu pi tambah 2 jenis lagi yang dibelik dari Danok - and when the power of 4 diet pills combine, I AM CAPTAIN ZOMBIE!!! Mrasalah mek mengalami tekanan emosi PMS bagai dan also masalah ketiduran sampai mengalami insomnia for couple of weeks (weeks ke? Bukan ke months, kan? Muahahah!) Serious, according to my friend yang keje di Guardian - system badan mek dah macam tingtong and biol, and tak tahu nak berfungsi dengan which diet pill, kan? So mrasalah tingtong dan resultsnya, kureng kemampuan untuk tidur. Which leads me to make this very interesting equation...


Kan? Hahahah sapa bagi ajaran sesat tu tatau!? Muahahah tu yang KB mek carut maki hamun naik angin ngan aku tu, sampai ada kalanya dia malas nak layan sebab sentap. Sentap bukan sebab daily progress mek, memang I lost weight. Tapi dia sentap sebab mek membahayakan diri sendiri. Awwwww... KB mek tu, dalam plastic² dan hati batu jade dia tu, tetap dia sayangkan mek, kan? Suker tau tannak mengaku, hanjeng tul! MUAHAHAH! So anyways, itu bab less sleep, kan? Mai kot mana less eating pulak tu? With those diet pills, selera makan mek MEMANG nan ado - ada kalanya memang lapaq tergedik², but I just don't feel like eating anything, you know? Sebab tu mek harapkan protein drink Herbalife tu, Orange Juice mek, dan also itu Spicy Tuna buns sajork each time mek lapaq - and not forgetting, my ciggerettesssss nahh! Hiks! Erm, perlu ke mek buat disclaimer, jgn ikut diet cara mek nih kalau nak hidup sihat dan lama, kan? HAHAHAHAH!

Furthermore lepas tu kan Puasa Ramadhan, kan? That helped me out with the dieting as well - Alhamdulillah... :) Bile tiba seminggu sebelum raya, mek dah comfortably at 59kg (dari IQP2006 - mek rase mek 67kg or 66kg kot - mrasalah before before that laaaaaaagi la teruk yaamats, kan? 75 katanya yer? Muahahahah!) Tapi yang cimpengnye, 3 hari LEPAS raya, mek naik 61kg! TUDIAH! Mek dosi cuak! Sebab Raya was 24th October, 2006, kan? And the Miss World 2006 Pageant pulak, on 24th November, 2006. Mrasalah less than a month, mek kena kurs kurs kan balik badan to bawah 59kg, kan!? So mrasalah buat amalan diet sial tu balik - and this time, double the usaha of not eating anything, selagi termampu. They say, "Ala, seminggu dua ko ingat, boleh hilang berat badan ke?" - OWH YES! Most definitely! Seminggu dua, MAMPU make a difference, apatah lagik 3 minggu or so less than 1 month, kan? Mrasa...

Dalampada itiew, mek took the 15 days fat-burning course tu (mati la mek masih hutang 8 hari to finish up the course, KAN BS!? HAHAHAHA). The course mengajar kite bukan utk build muscles nah - tapi menumpukan lebih pada exercises yang akan membakar lemak² di perut, and bahagian² yang berlemak yang lain. Mek sker lah. Tapi mrasalah mek RAJIN pada the 1st 7 days jer. Pastu, start puasa - dosi tak pi dah gym and lepas raya, MALAS dah nak habiskan that 8 days balance. So mrasalah mek pertingkatkan daya kegigihan nak kuruskan badan dengan perlaksanaan crash-to-kill-yourself diet itiew! HIKS! Jogging? Ade la jugak. Swimming? NAN ADO dah - nak suruh mek buat muscles kat lengan mek ke!? Muahahahah!

Tu diah - bab persediaan penampilan diri. Talking about persediaan dari segi pakaian National Costume dan Evening Dress - mek dah siap buat lakaran sketch design for both dresses, both ikut taste dan ciri² yang mek sker. Mek memang determined to buat sketches mek tu jadik reality katanya. So temanya, carik sponsors!!! Mrasalah PR here and there - dan memula, everything seems to be just fine. Tapi alih², ade sajer yang feels feels nak jadik Miss Fakir Papa Kedana or Miss Alasan, kan? Haiyoh - lets not spoil the mood and skip this issue. Cukup mek cakapkan yang my national costume, mek dapat sponsor lite² dari someone, last minute jugak; yang mensponsorkan cash utk mek gi borong kain 50 meter katanya utk buat kain 'can can' bertengkat² mek tu. Hiks! Dan mek gi tempah di Ala Mode Penang, thanks to Kak Regina who showed me the way ke sana dan introduced me to Raymond, owner Ala Mode Boutique tu, kan... mrasalah the day mek gi buat national costume tu, was the same day Latisha gi amek evening dress dia yang dia nak pakai for that International Queen in Pattaya itiew - grannnd! Menang Best Evening Dress sundels! Mek dosi ke-feels² already time tu! Hiks! And by the time national costume mek tu siap, mek buat add-ons katanya - tempek buls buls ayams la, diamonte la, beading work bagai lah, itu ini - memacam mek buat kat dress national costume tu nak kasik nampak, erm, nampak cam, erm, macam, macam apa ek? Mati la salah tema tapi last² jadik Flamingo Dancer, ek? Muahaha tarkir la kan - janji LATINO! KAN? Dan yang buat mek lebih sayangkan dress tu (and also the evening dress) was the fact that I put a lot of my own effort and dedications to it. Seriously, previously, mana ade gherti nye nak jahit² bead work labucci diamonte bagai? Semuanya mek design, tempah, dan siapkan terus - tak der nye buat buat sendiri dah lepas tu. Kali nih, memandangkan mek banyak luangkan masa di boutique Romzy dari mulanya Ramadhan, sampai sehari dua sebelum mek bertolak for the pageant, mrasalah selagi terdaya dan ade waktu dan kemampuan, mek akan jahit sehabis boleh - sampai ade kesan darah, hasil luka tercucuk jarum ok kena kat dress putih mek tu! HAHAHAHA!


Evening dress pulak, mek dapat sponsor kain lace Euromoda from Mak Hayam Bellerina katanya 6 meter, ek? Hiks! Dan selebehnye kengkain yang digunakan utk menjadikan lakaran design mek tu satu kenyataan, telah dispons spons kan oleh Romzy Studios katanya. Mrasalah kami semua gigih nih buat itu ini kat dress tu, especially UG and Romzy sendiri and the help of his staffs also - berpadu tenaga siapkan the dress. Mana dengan depa busy dengan bulan perkahwinan lepas Raya, kan? Depa bebetul buat mek rasa terharu u ols. Diaorang like, walaupun busy dengan pengantin² nak kawen bagai, but they never lah abaikan preparasi evening dress mek. Seminggu sebelum mek balik KL for the pageant, both, the evening dress and the national costume dosi kesiapan penuh dan lengkap bagai. Cuma tunggu time nak sarung pakai jer. Hiks!


Hurm... ape lagik ek? Preparation fizikal, outfits semua - owh yes - mental ek. Hehehe mati lah dok buat research and studies pasal Venezuela ok! Mrasalah dok print itu ini bagai semua, kan? Tapi bacanya, HARAM dak pon! Yang mek dok concentrate, practice Q/A; either sengsorang, or with CA, or Bobby at Romzy's Study, or with Ginger. Tapi most of the time, mek practice sengsorang macam org gila.Disamping itu jugak, preparations utk introduction round mek kali ini telah dibantu oleh Ginger. Thanks gal! Muahs! (Motif Muah!? Motif all Venezuela punye reps mesti ade that MUUUAH punye trademark ka? LALALALAL mampos la aku! HAHAHA) Tapi seriously, mek really put extra effort on this IQ preparations - selagi boleh practice, selagi tu mek try buat. Yer lah, bak kata sorang blogger pembaca diam diam tu, yang genit genit tu, "LKY kan KURENG siket bab bab IQ nih", kan? So taking that as a challenge, MRASA! Hiks! All I care is to buktikan the critics were wrong, but not forgetting niat asalnya adalah to have fun, fulfill my personal satisfaction needs and above all - to just once again, feel the limelight, KAN? :)

Have I left out anything so far? So far, no kot, kan? Hiks! Ok lets - MINUM dan mengkedaghah SUPPER dulu, nah? BRB!

AS THE DAY OF THE PAGEANT GREW NEARER - Sambungan after SUPPER at 11.25pm...

Ok - so - as the pageant day semakin menjelang tiba, pelbagai preparasi saat² akhir telah dilakukan, i.e get extra sponsorships, buat reservarsi hotel and confirmarsi make up artist bagai, touch up dresses kat memana yang patut, touch up heels (yer, for the 1st time, mek masuk competition, TAK BELI NEW HEELS yer. Mrasalah recycle katanya!) sambungan preparasi mental dan fizikal lagik katanya, diet gila gila lagik (walaupun temanya ade beberapa org dosi menyatakan mek nye badan dah nampak kurus - tapi mek tak puas hati! Badan jer nampak kurs kurs, tang muka? Tetap BEGAU! Mek nanges! HAHAHAH!), this and that - memacam lah. Mek getting excited about the pageant sangat², disamping worrying kot² I won't make it into the top 10. Biarpun temanya nak just have fun, still, mek at least mengharapkan tempat ke top 10 jer bagi menebus kalah malu mek in IQP hari tu tuh, kan? Ha - so it worries me also kot² mek tak tersenarai dalam top tenners list itiew. As for the subsidiary title of Miss Photogenic yang dibuat secara poll online, haiyoh - promosi sakan nih! You guys yang mengikuti perkembangan mek nih, should know yang pasal promo Miss Photogenic tu - mati la vote for me HERE, HERE and HERE, kan? Hahahaha - tak cukup promosi di blog dan YM, mrasalah buat di Myspace, Friendster, dan mIRC also katanya yer! MUAHAHAHAHA! Gigih lah gigih! Yer lah - at least, menang Miss Photogedik, eh, Photogenic pon, jaaaaaaaaadi lah la kan (namun hakikatnya, after leading the votes selama 3 minggu berturut², ADO menangnya? Rahsia - nantikan...)

The fact that mek getting excited about it, adalah pasal the trip nak balik pi ke KL tu - mrasalah sardinkan kerets mek dengan CA, BS dan Ginger - yang akan sama² tongtong beramai balik ke KL. Mek sker lah perjalanan itiew, kan? Muahahah! Owh, before that, dah dekat² nak pageant tu, confirmarsi sapa yang nak pi tgk bagai tu semua, ade jer kejap nak pi kejap tak jadik itu ini - last last, mek berjaya jugak - seminggu setengah sebelum pageant, mek dosi konfirm amek 3 normal tables and 1 VIP table - SIAP preparekan bendera tangan negara Venezuela ok! Macam kesial feeling semangat ok! Nih semua gara² nampak bendera Miss India la, OPPS! *sah sah MEK yang buatkan also, kan? HAHAHAH tetiber jer tuduh si G tu - tak baik kan mek gal? *sambil tampar² mulut sendiri... tsk tsk tsk... hiks!

22nd November, 2006:
Hari yang nak balik ke KL tu was like, menggumbirakan sangat sangat for mek! The thrill of going back to KL tu yang mek sker tu. Awal² pagi 22nd tu, mek dah ke pejabat, selesaikan apa yang patut. By noon, balik and packed my stuffs semua and by 3.30pm mek hamek si CA. Pastu pi amek my dresses dari boutique Romzy, and then by 4.30pm hamek si BS and then by 5vish hamek si Ginger in Gurun. By the time semua empat² org punya bagasi dah disumbatkan dalam kerets mek, MRASALAH PENUH GILE u ols! Sampai tak nampak apa apa ok kat cermin belakang tu! Gile punye sarat. Sarat ngan apa tatau? DRESSES SAPA TATAU YANG besaq dan bergoni² tu tatau!? LALALALALA *jeling Miss India! HAHAHAHA!

Dalam perjalanan tu, we alls had so much fun, kan BS, CA, G? Seronok sangat, walaupun sepanjang perjalanan, HUJAN katanya, kan? Hujan rahmat tu - membawa kontigen Miss, kan? Hiks! Kami singgah kat... erm, Bukit Semanggul (that's after Bukit Merah tu, kan?) and then later on kat mana tatau beli buah (ha kat situ mek merajuk ngan Ginger. OPPS! Pasai pa tatau? HAHAHAH! Tapi mrajuk sat ja. Ginger pujuk balik by kupaskan buah limau mini kat mek as I was driving dan dia dok sebelah. Pandai tul pondan tu pujuk mek! HAHAHAHA!) Tapi this time, kami tak pulak practice Q/A? Kot pasai malam kot - nak baca hapenye dalam gelap² tu tatau? Plus we were ALL concentrating on the road sebab hujan dan mek tetap bawak kereta cam celaka, kan? HAHAH! But overall, the trip back to KL was indeed VERY exciting, and fun!

Sesampainye kami di KL, kami straight ke Bukit Bintang. Motif? MEK DAH TAK TAHAN LAPAQ! Mek mengkedaghah nasi lemak Kak Ara sundel! Cikhals pun, cikhals lah - janji mek bedal sikit nasik lemak favorite mek with daging rendang keraih cam batu tu! MEK SKER LAH! Sedap u ols! (Yooo lah! Time² lapaq, memang lah sedap, KAN!? HAHAHA!) And kami terjumpa organizers and a few friends - sembang², collect tickets and what not from organizers, and then terus cabut balik ke Kelana Jaya, umah Abang Volks. Sampai sitiew jer, BS, mek dan G jer yang bermalam sitiew. Si CA pi tidoq umah kawan dia, kawan dia mai amek. Malam tu, kami sempat fitting Evening Dress si Miss India tu, with Abang Volks buat some minor alterations to her dress tu. Cantik sekals kain evening dress dia itiew - mek sker. Tapi G la pulak yang feels² dinch confidensi dengan two-piece dress katanya. She prefers one piece dress, dinch corset and long skirt bagai nih. Mek, time after time cakap kat dia, she'll do just fine with that dress - dan mek pon ade la tgk²kan sikit catwalk dia kot² dia nak jadik lain sikit since she's not confident dengan the dress. Tapi mek rase, lepas² tu, she was ok with the dress...

23rd November, 2006:
The next day, seawal pagi, at 7am, sundal tu dah kejutkan mek! Hanjeng sangat! Mek tidur kejap sangat sundel, tau tau si Ginger tu dah kejutkan mek. Benciks tau pondan "morning person" tu! Just because dia bangun pepagi awal, dia nak make sure mek also bangun! Mati la mek nak share room ngan dia also kat hotel, kan? Haiyoh! Tarkik la kan - mek pon excited jugak sebab that day kiteorang nak check in hotel and also pi jalan² feeling² Miss Miss pi shopping last last minute katanya yer. Hiks! So kami keluar pagi tu, me, Abang Volks, G and BS, bukan straight ke hotel Federal yer. Sebab check in waktu tu was at 2pm. Mrasalah kami kuar umah pun dah at 10nish, kami terus gi ke Masjid India. Yer lah, mana lagik - OLEX lah! HAHAHAH! Si Ginger nak buat some modifications kat dia nye accessorries - mek? Mek just nak TGK TGK JER! Motif!? Hahahahahah siut jer! Ginger cakap nak tgk, MAMPU ke mek keluar dari Olex tak spend more than RM300!!! YES! Mek mampu! Mek hanya belik new pair of dangling earring jer - RM60.00 sajork. Mek sker mek sker! Mek berjaya tahan nafsu utk membeli - Syukur! Hehhehehe. Lama jugak kami kat Olex tu, ade la dekat nak sejam. Pastu, kami pusing² kejap, before kami proceed gi ker, erm, wait, where did we go ek lepas tu? Owh yes - straight to the hotel, kan? Yes - and we checked in katanya.


Lepas dosi checked in semua settled down unpacked and simpan barang² bagai, kitaorang keluar berempat ke Sungai Wang. 1stly we had lunchy kat that famous Nasi Ayam Restaurant kat sebelah BB Plaza tu la kan - mek just had fish ball soup - tu pun mek telan 2 3 bijik jer fish balls tu and selebehnye, mek kasik G makan. Sker la mek tgk nafsu makan dia. Bagus betul (dalam hati, suke sebab nak sabotaj. MOTIF? Mampu ke 4 5 bijik fish balls menggemokkan!? DINCH KAN!? Sentap lah! Opps!) Anyways, lepas tu, kitaorang gi shopping² kat Sungai Wang - mek belik Glitters Spray sajork 2 tin - and, erm, apa lagi ek? Owh yes - buat appointment for manicure and padicure kat Kukubar katanya. Hehehehe. Kami pi Sungai Wang mainly temankan si BS nak belik heels baru katanya, dan si G nak belik cutter ke ape ke tah - Abang Volks, the usuals la kan, ikut jer dan menghalang mek dari membazir! HEHEHEHE. And then, si CA joined us dari mana tah dia datang - and ikut kitaorang lepas tu balik ke hotel and lepak², fresh up a bit semua, before turun balik and gi ke Royale Bintang Hotel for the rehearsals. Rehearsals was at 6.30pm katanya - tapi mrasalah start rehearsals pun at nearly 8pm katanya. Ballroom tak siap lah, contestants ade yang datang lewat sebab komitment keje la bagai semua - memacam faktor la. Am not complaining pon, sebab mek enjoy dok melawak bagai dengan yang dok sedia ada tu. Hiks!

By 8pm tu, 21 contestants dari 22 contestants semuanya dosi berkumpul for the rehearsals. Mrasalah Mak Iterk (Ati Oshira) yang choreographkan step step catwalk bagai. Mujur Abang Zali ade to jerit kat Mak Iterk suruh buat step senang² - kalau idak, haiyoh - mati la kelam kabut for Mak Iterk is very well known for choreographing steps steps susah nak hafal! HAHAHAH!

The ballroom was SUPPPPPERRR DOOOPPERR HOT! Aircond lite² manja² jer dipasangnye - save electric ke Royale Bintang oi? Berpeloh² kami dibuatnya. Dalampada itu, Arezeo and Abang Imran also hadir, buat interview dengan contestants sebelum berubah wajah. Yang paling ketara akan ubah wajah, ialah, tu - Miss Venezuela tu la. Hahahahah mai rehearsals dengan berbauk susuk jambang bagai - hahahahaha mati la "I ADE PENYAKIT KETUMBUHAN BEBULU DI MUKA" katanya sebagai alasan. Cam sial jer dia kan?! HAHAHAHAH! Sapa dia tu tatau!? LALALALALALA!



Selesai habis rehearsals, dalam pukul, erm, 11nish? Lewat juger la katanya kan - and lepas tu, terus balik ke bilik kat Federal, tunggu si Mark and Dylan yang nak siapkan Ginger tu datang testing buat rambut bagai, while mek, dah tidak menahan nak buat siapkan BENDERA TANGAN yer! Hahahahahah - Yang mek kata preperasi awai² tu, mek print print jer 40 copy bendera India, dan 40 copy for me. Alih², tak bawak! Mrasalah si CA tolong pi photostatkan kat mek ptg tu during rehearsals tu. And after that, CA balik ke umah member dia, and BS, also dosi kepulangan ke umah Neonina Sunina Lee katanya, yer? Hehehehe - so by the time balik ke bilik tu, mrasalah tinggal mek, G, Abang Volks, and then later si Mark, Dylan and Shasha sampai - and later later, Fiebs and Joe KK also sampai just to pay us all a visit. Mrasalah kecoh sundal bilik tu - and waktu tu, bendera semua dah siap, mek dosi kepenatan, dan terlena sekejap. And after that, mrasalah Joe KK and Fiebs pong balik, Abang Volks and 5thE yang tiba lewat sikit tu pun balik also - tinggallan kami berlima and later², semua balik, tinggal lah G ngan mek, Miss India and Miss Venezuela, dua dua kepenatan, dua dua tingtong - terus booom tidur, kan? :) Goodnight Miss India... Namashkarrr Miss Venezuela.  Eh eh? Tetiber... hahahah klik* bunyik tutup lampu! Heheheheh... Owh wait, sebelum tidoq tu, dalam mamun mamai tu, kami sempat practice Q/A session - and before that pon, Mark and Dylan ade helped us both out with Q/A session too. Thanks Mark, Dylan! :) Owh and Shasha too! :D


THE DAY OF ALL DAYS SINCE CALENDER WAS INVENTED - hiks!

24th November, 2006:
ASTAGA! Again! Pagi tu mek bangun at 7am SHARP! Mrasalah kami tidoq at 3am - so like, what, we had only like 4 hours of sleep!? SENTAP! No, this time, Ginger tak woke me up. Its the sound of the stupid jalan penuh ngan kereta pagi Jumaat tu yang woke us up! Siut jer.

So tak per - pagi tu, kami planned nak pi shopping kat Mydin Hypermart kat area Pudu tu. Mrasalah read the previous entry pasal Personal Hygine Wash tu punye entry to tgk what happened pagi tu! Sial jer! HAHAHAHA!


Balik dari Mydin tu, kami terus balik ke bilik hotel. Sebelum naik, valet ppl tu dah cakap tayar kerets mek ala ala dinch ade angin. Alih² later on malam itiew, KEMPOT TERUS tayarnye itiew ok! Terus OUT OF SERVICE OK! Will tell u guys later about that one. So anyways, lepas dah insiden bowdoh dalam bilik pasal personal hygine wash tu, hehehe, G, mengalami masalah dramatic dan trauma dengan cutter yang dibeliknya di Mydin tu. Dibaling campaknye bendealah cutter tu seDQ DQ alam (which mek NEVER tgk dia mengamok sebegitiew rupa! Haiyoyoh! Must be that lack of sleep thingy I suppose - hiks!). Dan lepas tu, mek ado janji ngan UG, who came with Abang Romzy himself nak tgk the event malam tu, utk keluar gi beli heels utk dia. So since mek memang ado appointment at 10.30am nak buat manicure and padicure kat Kukubar tu kan, so mrasalah mek called UG and suruh dia datang ke Federal sebab dia dan Abang Romzy and Abang Salleh also and also si Abang Yus checked in kat hotel lain, yang berdekatan. Mrasalah tu kontigen skuad penyokong dari Alor Staq. Tu baru suku tu! Remember, 4 tables noh! 2 meja penuh geng2 utara, 2 meja geng2 KL. Hiks! So UG came by and helped betulkan sikit my evening dress, before kiteorang kuar gi shopping for his heels and then baru mek pi buat manicure and padicure mek itiew. Mrasalah mengantuk sekals time buat manicure and padicure tu u ols! Yer lah, dah la tgh tak cukup tidur, pastu, dibelainya tangan dan kaki mek, MRASALAH MENGANTUK gile tersengguk² aku dibuatnya. Si UG pi sambung shopping sorang kaedahnye. Hiks!

Where's Ginger? Owh - dia ade urusan dalam toilet tadik (taaaaaaak habis habis lagi katanya) dan also dia tgh tunggu Nazz and Abby datang amek tiket and bendera also. Hiks! So oklah, mek biarkan dia kat hotel, tapi lepas tu dia datang mai amek room keys kat mek sebab dia nak kuar pi lunch dan mek masih belom habis buat my nails. And then, pada waktu yang sama, si Mak Hayam Belle dan sepupu nya datang menjenguk mek kat Kukubar before depa pi lunchies kat Secret Recepi! Sentap! Heheh mek order pesan Orange Juice sajork, yang kemudiannye dibawak ke bilik hotel sebab diaorang nak tgk my dresses. By that time, Abang Volks dosi sampai tapi dah keluar gi beli some stuffs, Mark and Dylan also on the way dah time tu nak get readykan si Ginger - Kak Vee yang make upkan mek pon katanya on the way by 3pm sampai. Malam sebelum tu mek dah nak berdrama dah sebab Kak Vee katanya DEMAM. Mek dah cuak - Adakah dia tak mampu nak make up kan mek last minute!? Mek dosi cuak! Mujurlah later on by 3pm dia muncul di bilik kami tu.

So at exactly around 3.30ish cam tu, bermulalah transformarsi Miss India dan Miss Venezuela, sebagai persiapan utk menempuh malam penuh gemilang dan berprestij itiew, kan? Hiks! Siap pi siap mai - dahhhh sampai masa nak kena turun sebab we ols have to get to the backstage changing room by 6.30pm. Mrasalah 6.35pm both Miss India AND Miss Venezuela MASIH dalam bilik hotel Federal yer - mati larrr!!!!


*** Bahagian ini akan disambung dalam Part 2 - FULL Details of Miss World 2006 Pageant nanti, nah!?

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DAY; THE DAYS AFTER THE PAGEANT
