______________________________

"Are we proud of who we are?"

Why do we have to ask such question? I think this is something which is very individual, no matter what your sexual orientation is. It’s like you have to know yourself before knowing someone else and above all, love yourself before you can love someone else.

I personally think that someone who has the following values or attributes should be proud of oneself.
  • 1) Someone who strives to make a difference in others' lives (especially those less fortunate).
  • 2) Someone who is always there for his friends - through thick and thin.
  • 3) Someone who does good deeds without hoping for anything in return - just help for the simple and pure joy of helping.
  • 4) Someone who is contented with what he/she has and understand the endless wheel of craving for love.
  • 5) Someone who loves himself, his lover/spouse, his family, his friends, his community and his country.
...and being proud of yourself doesn’t necessarily come all from worldly achievements but from inner discovery and spiritual enlightenment as well.

And it's all about Siti Nurhaliza...

Dearest all,

Today's entry is all about that sweet Kuala Lipis girl named Siti Nurhaliza... hehehe - so simple nye my intro to my entry for today, huhu... :)



As we are all aware, Siti, yang merupakan the darling of Malaysia - dan bertapak dalam bidang seni tanahair kite nih for nealy 10 years? (ke, dah 10 years? Mek also dinch hui sangat informasi2 about her nih) So anyways, speaking of 'dinch hui sangat informasi2 about her' nih (the sentence simply means mek tak tahu menahu sangat2 bangat lah pasal Siti nih - sikit2 tu bole la)- mek rase elok lah before mek go on dengan lelebihnye, biarlah mek declare some stuffs dulu yer - sebelum ade org nak tembak mek ngan senapang gajah pasal buat entry nih... huhu... (bukan tak tahu ape peminat2 mampu buat demi artist kesayangan mereka... hehehe)
  • Mek bukan lah die-hard-fan of Siti, but I do like most of her songs, love her personality, her sweetie pie face, her courage - her, ability to stand up for what she believes in - so I'd say mek also layak dan mampu buat entry pasal dia - though I admit I may not know much about her...
  • Mek buat entry nih - basically, speaking in general lah, as a person who knows Siti as a performer/ singer, kan? So mek dinch do any in-depth detailed comments about her karier muzik ke ape ke - apa apa yang mak mah nih tahu, mak mah sebat aje lah yer? Besides, mek not in the position nak boleh komen lebih2 bab bab industri muzik tanahair especially about Siti - Itu mek serahkan kepada pemenang2 pengkritik seni muzik tanahair 2005, ok?
  • Dan finally,
  • Mek buat entry ini sekadar 'nak buat' jer entry ni - bukan niat mek wanna invite critics bashing up my comment column, nah? So kalau ade nak hentam2 sama itu Siti, seelok2nya, tak yah la. Kalau ade jugak - go do elsewhere nah...




In this entry - I will be talking about three (or rather four) different aspects about this multi-talented (multi-talented ke? Hmmm - hentam aje la labibu... ) young performer cum singer cum model. Aspek2 tersebut adalah seperti yang berikut:
  • Personal view mek about Siti Nurhalijah... hehehe
  • Attitude dia, dari pandangan mata mek mah yang masih belum ghabun
  • Her 1001 kejayaans sepanjang pembabitan dia sebagai anak seni, locally and internationally
  • Kutukan dan kejian yang diterima - isk, sedeh pulok nak discuss bab nih
  • Kelemahan dari apa yang mampu dilihat - yang tak terlihat itiew, tak dapat lah eden nak menolong
  • Dan yang terakhirnya,
  • Some nasihat tak seberapa daripada seorang peminat kerdil nih, bagi niat mengimprovekan lagi our dear Siti Nurhaliza nih, walaupun dari apa apa perspektive pon - maaana lah tau kan Cik Kiah kan? Kot2 lah Siti sendiri silap hari bulan termasuk blog mek, haaa - at least dia leh baca (nevermind - lets just keep on dreaming.. ehehehe)
E eh? Five points katanye!? I thought I said four? (first2 tadik, 3, kan? Ehehehehe)

  • Personal view about Siti

  • Personally - mek suka kat Siti. Muka rupa itiew sudah tentu ADO. Suara, haiyoh! Merdu dan lunaknya, tiada bandingan. With her ever soft and very 'gadis-Timur' concept - mek always liked her that way. And as a matter of fact, dia nih kalau tak bermake up mek tgk lebih sweet. She has certainly makin matang as her usia grows too (yer - pang-umum-man nah! Dia sama umoq dengan mek! Ehehhe). This perubahan hasil dari kematangan dirinya itu, very obvious lah kan. From banyak cabang of aspeks lah dia nih dah berubah - kalau dulu, sorry to say, azab sangat rupo (we're not talking about her fashion statements nah) - now, mek tgk, very der sudah pandai bergaya.



    About posing for mags or papers or photoshoot ke ape ke, jgn kite persoalkan la. Kalau dulu - very der gadis2 kampung baru kenal ape itu lensa camera, now it seems as if she's not kekok already depan camera (very ikut perangai mek - never fail nak pose2.. heheh maaaaaaati la mek)

  • Attitude wise

  • Selain dari menunjukkan ciri2 very kemelayuan gadis Timur, Siti has definitely showed the world that when it comes to singing - it doesn't matter what you wear or how you appear on stage. As a singer, kemerduan suara, dan kemampuan menyanyi Live itu punting ya. I mean, lets face it, banyak lah artist yang menyanyi kalu record lagu, lain je. But Siti, I noticed, if she menyanyi live, tak banyak beza dengan the way she records her songs (probably ade la sikit beza2 dari segi lenggok kot).



    And her style of kekalkan konsep cium tangan tatkala bersalam dengan warga lebih berumur dari dia, itu mek salute. Dari dulu sampai now, cara dia bersalam tak pernah berubah; tak pernah dia lupakan. Friendly and sincere dari hatinya is another thing yang dapat mek bentangkan dalam point nih. I mean, as far as mata mek melihat (tak tahu la belakang2 camera cam mana) - she's very humble, friendly, down to earth, memang mek pandang tinggi pada attitude dia nih.

  • Kejayaan




  • Not just berjaya successful melful di pentas seni suara, Siti jugak antara artist2 yang telah dipilih jadi model/ duta utk services ini la, product itu la - rezeki mencurah2. Itu sedikit sebanyak telah mendorong kearah kejayaannya. Talking about awards claimed by her - tak yah sebut lah. Tak terbilang kot. Maybe ade antara peminat2 die-hard nya itiew dah ade yang kire berape banyak awards yang our Cik Siti dah penah rangkul - like me, I tak der lah sampai wanna count kire one by one all her awards, but I do believe she still holds the record of artist paling banyak meraih awards (tak kire lah locally or internationally) dalam Malaysia Book of Records. Curlast! Very also sehsuwai mek kasik dia award Artist tak Serik2, macam award yang itu Che Detz itiew kasikkan kat mek, Miss Tak Serik2. LOL!



    Selain daripada tu, Siti nih also banyak jadi perintis dalam some2 hal - taksure lah what but I'm sure memang ade. The first in this, the first in that - perintis la kirenye tu.. Ehehehehe...



    Kejayaan dia di luar negara, namely Indonesia, Japan, Korea and recently London (though some said the London Royal Albert Hall concert tu wasn't much of a success - still mek rase success jugak sebab dia dah mampu gi buat, biarpun maybe not the first Malaysian' artist to perform there) tidak perlu kita persoalkan lagi. Take Indonesia for example. She's also the latest darling there tau. Peminat tak putus2. That shows that she is successful there, in Indonesia. Sebut aje Siti Nurhalijah - pasti diaorang kenal. Owh, did I mention Singapore too? (Gawd - I just loveee when she performed dgn itiew Taufik Batisah, the Singaporean Idol itiew- haiyoh! Mek suke!!!!)

  • The 2K 3M segment (Kutuk Keji + Mengumpat Menghina Mencaci)

  • This is so like normal utk someone bergelar artist; eh, no, actually, for those who seeks fame and popularity - the 2K+3M will always jadi gangguan dan igauan diaorang. I know - been there, felt that before. Ehehehe. Sepanjang mek minat Siti nih, mek rase macam2 dah mek dgr pasal Siti nih - tah ade yang betul ke idak - Wallahua'lam - dah namanye pun gossip. Eheheeh. Why? Why people buat all these statements ketidakpuasan hati mereke itiew? (Tu la - kalu tak puas hati dengan Siti, or any other artists, org suruh call 1.300-GI-MAMPOS, tannak!).

    The main, paling logical explaination why all these 2K+3Ms nih berlaku - JELES. Tu jer yang paling terang bak nyata tampa perlu suluh2 torchlight berbaterikan Eveready!!! Sebabkan jeles, iri hati, sakit hati, dan lain2 perangai sifat2 busuk yang sama waktu dengannye, manusia, ada yang sebaik2 alam, boleh jadik MJs (Mulut2 jahat - maaaaaaaati la ko Miss G dan jugak exco propah mek, si LeeZieyah Lalatjuterbar Jhuborzzz, Miss Indonesia 1997 cum Miss Paraguay 2005... hehehe - maaati la mek!)



    'Siti Nurhaliza -mangsa keadaan???' - Selalu kite dgr kes ini kan? At times I do feel sorry for her, you know? Macam some of the stuffs happening around her, ntah2 dia sendiri tak menyedarinya. Kesian gak - ade one time mek tgk dia confessi kat mana tah - siap nangis2 nih (bukannye DQ seperti ahli lembaga exco Blog mek itiews yer. Ehehehe). Sebak mek nengok dia nangis - ala ala blur tak tahu menahu anything yang membuatkan dia mangsa sesuatuh issue. Isk isk isk. Kesian... and speaking of mangsa keadaan, can I kaitkan with her being MANGSA IN FASHION? Can right? (of course mek leh kaitkan, this is my blog, my writings, kan? Eheheheeh - Ginger, familiar dak ayat itiew? Maaaati la ko BS!) - I mean, seriously - nak kata she has bad taste in fashion, probably tak bersesuaian. She I believe kekalkan concept simple. Its the people yang siapkan her - selalu jadikkan dia mangsa fashion (maybe dia pon contribute jugak kot sebab maybe designs2 azabs tu dia sendiri nak... kan?) Pon begitu, kalau kita lihat kalau video2 klipnya yang setengah2 tu disiapkan di Indonesia, kenapasal meletop!? So nampak sangat, bukan dia sorang saje yang contribute to this, this, erm,... slackness, kan? (eh, got ah slackness? Ehehehe). Ada kala dia muncul ngan imej pelik2 tu (pelik2 here meaning warna PINK campur orange ka? Hitam campur merah di ropol2s design dress dia ke ape ke) - mek rase, tu la, bukan salah dia sorang. Get the point dak? Hmmmmm.... And one last cabang dalam kes MANGSA ni - mangsa gossip liar. Nothing much about MEN tapi kalau gossip2 liar yang bersangkut paut dengan other local artists, ade la jugak. Once Kak Ani, then now Kak Pah pulak? Isk - kesiannn kesian. Why lah jadi cam tu? Back to square one, JEALOUSY la tu....

  • Weaknesses pada Siti

  • Ini yang mek ala ala nampak very obvious la kan - SPEAKING and LANGUAGE problems. Haiyoh - ini kadang2, very memalukan. Tapi what to do, maybe background si Siti nih dah macam tu, kurang exposure dengan Bahasa Inggeris dan jugak method of public speaking - tu la penyebab why this sweet innocent girl is facing all these problems. No doubt she has improved a lot, but still - there are rooms for her to improve. Banyak lagi dia boleh buat to improve herself. Talking language classes ke ape ke - and getting herself exposed dgn dunia luar also is another way - plus biarkan dia minggle winggle twinkklle around dengan artist2 tempatan yang memang vast bile berkomunikasi - namely maybe Ning or Misha or in fact, Waheeda ke - apa apa jer la, siape2 saje la - janji she can interact easily dan belajar dalampada masa yang sama...

    Fahion sense - ini another thing that I believe she's a bit weak in. As one of the most fofuler artist in the country, dia kena take not of the latest fashion trends and COLOUR COORDINATION la kan. Girl, seriously - you have your looks, you have your body - jgn sia2kan. Isk isk isk - mek nangis kalau u ols dinch mampu improve on this. Suara merdu lunak persis Ariel Little Mermaid, jgn u ols spoilkan semua itu melalui penampilan u ols!!!

  • Nasihats

  • I think I've said enuff about menasihati this darling of ours. Takyah lah mek lelebih pepanjangkan entry nih. Melampau laaaa pulak. Eheheheeh.... (sebenarnye dah ngantuks... how?)



    Apa2pon Siti Nurhaliza - perjalanan seni u ols masih jauh bak kata u ols sendiri. And from my point of view, you still have a lot of things to grab in this world, a lot of things to learn and improve on, masih ade cebisan2 ruang utk you ols berjaya dalam dunia seni suara dan modelling. Speaking of which, bila mau berlakon itu filem bebetul punya ah? Eheeheheh....

    The International Queen Pageant 2005- Final Promotion before the big day!!!


    And so it’s just a couple of days left - less than few XX hours - before we find out who that lucky girl, that would crowned as the new winner of The International Queen Pageant 2005! God I'm so excited I could just scream!! To be in the running for the title, - that's one thing already. Getting through the excitement of preparing and the intense of waiting for the final night - girls, I do know how it feels right now. Everything seems to be going' on like a little too fast for some - I know.

    The contestants for IQP 2005 - phewww... again, if I may say so, they are no ordinary contestants - not just 'any contestants'! I see reigning beauty queens (of other coveted titles), I see runner-ups (again, for other pageants held), I see showgirls, I see some new faces (this, any pageants will always have, at least one or two) and I see girls that are so well-known to many beauty pageant stages! Wow! This is really, really - amazing! Tough fight too...

    In the history of beauty pageants in Malaysia (for transgender or transsexuals) - I must say, IQP 2005 is offering something unique, and the organizers has certainly proved that they are doing' their level best to satisfy both, the contestants and also the viewers. For the first time ever, (I believe) the beauty pageant is offering an online voting page to decide who gets the title of Miss Photogenic - this included a photography session held recently, to standardize all photos. I must say kudos to the organizing committee for such an effort and if I may say this, girls - you don't know how lucky you guys are to be the IQP contestants and to be able to compete in such beauty pageant - imagine, Miss Photogenic, voting - ONLINE? This could be as same as how the REAL Miss Universe Pageant determines who gets to be Miss Photogenic.

    So basically in this entry, apart from promoting the pageant - I would like to invite you people, my fellow blog readers, visitors and friends mostly - to cast your votes to decide who will be the pageants' Miss Photogenic winner. Feast your eyes with these stunning beauties, representing their own countries of their own choices; and start casting your votes at The International Queen Pageant 2005 Official Website!

    These are only some of the girls that will be in the running, competing for the coveted title of Queen of The International Queen Pageant 2005!!!

    ********************


    It was a rushing flight ; KUL(Kuala Lumpur) - KCH(Kuching); flight full, crew pretty much tired, dah habis meal service, preparing the cabin for landing into KCH, ade this one passenger, masih lapar gamaknye...
    Pax: Miss... excuse me... ada lagi tak anything to eat?
    Stewardess: Sorry Encik, kite dah nak landing. Besides, meal service tadi tu jer ade dalam flight ini...
    Pax: Any light meal or something, french fries or nuggets or anything?
    Stewardess: Apa Encik pikir ini Mc. Donalds?!!?!?!?!?- BERANI MAMPOS JAWAB CAM ITIEW? Eheheeh - mujur the pax paham it was a joke. Eheheh, but what about the rest of the pax???



    ********************
    Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to ditch into the Selat Melaka - jgn cuak, bertenang yer Ladies and gentlemen. Bawak mengucap. Utk mereka yang tahu, how to swim, please, swim for your lives. For those of you yang tak gherti nak swim, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR FLYING MALAYSIA AIRLINES... hehehehehehe- Just another joke...

    ********************
    This stewardess was serving Business Class onboard MHxxxx from Subang Airport to Langkawi. Business Class waktu tu penuh dengan businessmen dan ade dua tiga orang tokoh corporate dan VIP. This girl, during the refreshment service, tgh nak serve this one White guy- dan kononnye nak add some finest to her service, came up with something, rather, eheheh - silly....
    "Excuse me sir, would you like me to sauce your balls Sir???"
    Yeap - guess what - That White guy was having meat balls - LOL! Yang kes nih kan masuk NST dulu. Kejissss!



    ********************
    There was this crew yang kuat melatah - pantang cucuk sikit, melatah, pantang aircraft bergegar sikit nak jer melatah. So apparently one day, this crew tgh sembang dengan another crew, when there was a call from the First Class passenger - so dia nih pon, lemah lembut gemalai pergi la ke seat passenger itiew...
    Crew: Yes sir?
    Pax: Boleh tolong clearkan my table? I'm done here... :) - Pax tu baru selesai makan la kisahnye, nak suruh crew nih clearkan the plates and what not...
    Crew: Owh, boleh... - Dan semasa dia sebok nak clearkan the plates, cutleries and what not... time2 tu la aircraft went into some slight, minor, bump... ala ala bergegar lah jugak aircraft tu sikit... terus!!!
    Crew: Oiihh pantat aku sepoloh hengget!!!!!!!!
    Pax: O- My -God... that cheap? Eh, wait a sec, do you have one in the first place???
    Yeap - crew tu, STEWARD, adik2. Eheheh - dan before dia gi ke cabin to attend to that pax's call tu, he was talking about some cheap stuffs, more like RM10 something stuffs... with that other crew... Eheheh - melatah... melatah... dasyat kan? - Nah, terus, pax tadik tu sudah tangkap cintan ngan adik2 itiew... ehehe. FYI, pax tu lelaki. Ehehehehe. SESUWAIIII!!!!



    ********************
    It was during a refreshment service, from MYY(Miri) to KCH(Kuching) - in Business Class. Ade la sorang Cha Ya Nun Alip very the bukit oneeee naik flight tu... dok pulak di business class. Upsetting, naik2 flight, dapat service refreshment and not meal service. Kawan pon ala ala upset lah kan...
    Pax: ALO? SAYA ITU BAYAR AHH ITU TIKET MANYAK MAHAL WOOO - TAU TAU DAPAT INI SANDWICH SAJA KA? MANYAK SEDIH WOOO...
    Stewardess: Habis? U nak ape, AYAM PANGGANG!? - NAHHH! Stewardess itiew terus kena tindakan displin - tu tak masuk lagik kes dapat surat complain dari pax tu. Sedehhh sedeh...

    ********************
    One day Pilot buat announcement during cruising - waktu tu tgh melintasi Mount Kinabalu
    "Ladies an Gentlemen, for the benefit of the passengers sitting of the right handside of the aircraft...you can see now that we're passing Mount Kinabalu, if you care to look outside ur window. And for the passengers sitting on the left handside of the aircraft - u can see the pax sitting on the right handside of the aircraft watching out trough their windows looking at Mount Kinabalu... Sekian - wabillahitaufik walhidayah... wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh..." - Yeap ! Ade la pilot saje buat jokes cam tu. Mujur tarak sapa complain. Ehehehehe.



    ********************
    During the safety announcement, just before the aircraft departs... as the crew were doin' their safter equipment demonstration... waktu part...
    "Ini adalah jaket keselamatan anda... bla bla bla... Jaket anda ada dua corong. Tiup corong ini untuk menambahkan angin kedalam jaket anda... tarik pita ini utk menyalakan lampu diwaktu malam, dan tiup wisel ini untuk menarik perhatian...." Sounds normal, kan? Englishnye, HOW?
    "This is your life jacket... bla bla bla. Your jacket has two mouth pieces for further inflation. Pull the tag to have the light on and night, and BLOW THIS WHISTLE to attract attention.." SOUNDS NORMAL ALSO, kan? But what if kalau ade org gi buat announcement, particularly LIKE THIS...
    "AND BLOW TO ATTRACTION!!!" and there you go, ade this one mamat separuh nak mabuk terus..."BLOW WHAT!?!?!? MINE IS BIG IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION FROM BLOWING!!???????" Berhati2 ketika buat announcement....

    ********************
    Once - I was in the galley (kire cam dapur lah) and there was this pax masuk galley mek, looked around, blurred looking sambil dah nak pegang handle cabin door (kalau dibukannye, Na'uzubillah....)... Mek yang cemas...
    Me: Madam!!! Excuse me! Don't touch that door handle!!! What were you thinking???"
    Pax: Errmm... I thought this one might be empty, the rest of the toilets are all occupied..." LOL!!!!!!! Astaga! Dia pikirkan pintu kapal terbang tu also toilet ka? MasyaAllah......



    ********************
    This happened - REALLY happened. Once, this famour artiste was onboard one flight nih la kan. Duduk business class u ols, jgn main2. So anyways, dia ditanya oleh stewardess yang working on that flight...
    Crew: Excuse me Cik ******, would you like to drink anything???
    Artist: Yes please, I would like some coffee.
    Crew: How would you like your coffee?
    Artist: IN A CUP!!! (LOL!!!!! Siape salah nih? Nampak cam artist tu bengong kan? So thats what the stewardess been telling the whole airline how bangentnye si artist nih - tapi, tidakkah dia sedar, bahawa, kebarangkalian artist tu nak kenakan dia balik like, answering to a uncomplete q like that? Paham tak? The Q from the stewardess was supposed to be, something like, "HOW WOULD U LIKE UR COFFEE, BLACK OR WHITE, SUGAR?" - ini tidak, gi tanye, "HOW WOULD U LIKE UR COFFEE - kalau si Artist tu SENGAJA nak jawab, I WOULD LIKE MY COFFEE IN A CUP - so kire, siape banget bangang sekarang, ARTIST, atau CREW itiew??? LETSSSS COMMENT!!!)
    ********************


    HEHEHE - macam2 lahhh kan? Isk isk isk.... *wink2*

    Memories...

    Dearest all...

    It has been a while since I last buat an entry about feelings, perasaan... kenangan... and stuff. Something macam, not to say so serious, tapi, something like that la kot. So today I feel like nak buat entry about memories - not about mine, but particularly in general...

    Memories - ape itu memories, u ols?

    Well according to the Merriam- Webster Online Dictionary - memories; selepas dah disearchkan for its definition-

    Main Entry: mem·o·ry
    Pronunciation: 'mem-rE, 'me-m&-
    Function: noun
    Inflected Form(s): plural -ries
    Etymology: Middle English memorie, from Middle French memoire, from Latin memoria, from memor mindful; akin to Old English gemimor well-known, Greek mermEra care, Sanskrit smarati he remembers

    1 a : the power or process of reproducing or recalling what has been learned and retained especially through associative mechanisms b : the store of things learned and retained from an organism's activity or experience as evidenced by modification of structure or behavior or by recall and recognition

    2 a : commemorative remembrance (erected a statue in memory of the hero) b : the fact or condition of being remembered (days of recent memory)

    3 a : a particular act of recall or recollection b : an image or impression of one that is remembered (fond memories of her youth) c : the time within which past events can be or are remembered (within the memory of living men)

    4 a : a device or a component of a device in which information especially for a computer can be inserted and stored and from which it may be extracted when wanted b : capacity for storing information (four megabytes of memory)

    5 : a capacity for showing effects as the result of past treatment or for returning to a former condition -- used especially of a material (as metal or plastic)

    So dalam entry kali ini, I believe that the term, Memories/ Memory yang mek nak gunakan akan didefinasikan mengikut maksud 3 a, b dan c.

    Memories can be sweet, can be pahit at times - depending on how the past telah dicorakkan. Different people, lain lah perspektive memories nye - like, the event maybe satu, namun if tow people were at that particular event - one might take it as a sweet memory, but jgn expect the other party would think and adapt the same concept - mungkin it's a not-so-sweet memory? Siape tahu, kan? :)

    The question here is this - should one live with his or her memories of the past? Some say - life goes on - and so we should not be living with memories and its pasts, kan? Tapi for me, I tak agree. Take for example, me. Semua orang/ majority dah tahu, I've stopped pageants and competing and stuffs - ade yang sudah well-aware I've stopped being in drag for a while sekarang ni kan. So eventhough my life dah moved on, but to me, my memories, should always remain in my life even as I move forward - sebab why? Those are/ were my memories and I have the every right to pilih whether or not to live with it or to put it behind. Kan?

    My memories, banyak telah diabadikan dalam photos - and now I buat banyak2 entry pasal the past, ceritakan kembali pengalaman hidup suka duka melalui whats now called, memories. So, I think that it is totally bergantung kepada individu itu sendiri to pilih whether wanna live the present life with memories of the past - or just completely move on. Get it tak? Hmmm - I pon tak sure apekah objective entry nih...

    Maybe... objectivenye entry kali nih, is this...

    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???
