Cahaya Cinta...

Dia telah menentukannya
Kita bertemu dan cinta
Inilah oh takdirnya
Bukan kerana harta
Inilah citra cahaya cinta...
Pintu hatiku telah kau buka
Tak mampu ku menafikannya
Kejujuran diberi kasih takkan berganti
Ini bahagia yang ku cari...
Sayangi daku
Peluklah daku
Janji denganku
Semai cinta nan satu...
Tuhan menguji
Takkan berhenti
Hanya ku pinta
Sama setia menjaga hingga ke alam syurga...

Exactly a week ago, at around this time of the hour (I think) I was that one lucky person, to be announced as the new Miss World 2006 (THANK YOU ALL!) It seems, like only yesterday jer that one special moment in time berlaku and now pejam celik pejam celik, tgk², daaah seminggu berlalu... sedeeeeeyyyy... hiks!
PART 4 - The Road To Miss World 2006 Pageant!
THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DAY; THE DAYS AFTER THE PAGEANT
I felt as though the night will never end for me malam tu - it was one of the best moments in my entire life, more particularly, after I left the scene in 2004. IQP2006 was also a one good experience for me, as it was a comeback pageant for me - biarpun I didn't perform well during that event, but still, I was thankful, and gladful, dapat tersenarai masuk ke top 10. BUT THIS ONE... I'd have to say - *SPEECHLESS KEJAPS!* Seriously, I didn't see this coming. Like I said kat ending entry Part 3 tu... "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT COMING IN THE FUTURE... ", kan??? Serious shit no joke nah... memang tak budget langsung dapat the title. But since dah dapat, I'm very honored, and truly touched, and moved by it. And for that, I have to kotakan janji diri sendiri yang mek buat, couple of weeks before the pageant - SHOULD I WIN the title, it'll be my last! Heheh laaa don't ask what if, KALAU aku tak menang, kan? - Sah sah le kuteruskan lagi perjuangan HIDUP MISS TAK SERIK², kan!? Hahahahaha gila tak!?
Things happened for a reason - and NOW I know why I flopped during IQP2006, eventhough it will be a good thing kalau I won during IQP2006 - like, it'll be the blast of the century for me. 2 years and a half, silensio - and then buat comeback pageant, boom menang. That'll be awesome, KAN?! Tapi bende dah jadik - mek screwed up during IQP2006. But that's ok I guess. I had fun though waktu IQP tu. And now, just after 6 months plus after IQP2006, mek actually won Miss World 2006. Kire macam, yer la, like, things happened for a reason la. IF I won IQP2006, would I be doing this Entry of the Year nih!? Hhahaha - of course la I will, tapi maybe bukan dari seorang pemenang, kan? I would be writing this entry, ala ala komentar terhadap the event. But no, thanks to tak menang in IQP, tada - mek muncul dengan entry dari hati seorang pemenang. Cemana itiew!? Hiks!
Ok back to the issue. Tapi sebelum tu, newsflash nah. As soon as masuknye 25th November, 2006 - the world saw me melantak mengkedaghah bagai nak gila ok! I think for the past one week, all I did was - eat eat and eat and eat macam kesial! Balas dendam sunggoh nih! Hahahaha. Tapi just for this one week jer kot, I told my self...
"Gal, I think I've put on weight. A LOT... and I DO mean, A LOT. All I did since I got back to A/S from Miss World tu kan gal, all I could think about, all I could do, to occupy my SPARE time, is EAT EAT and EAT! And not forget, SLEEP! And it starts to worry me a bit now kot sebab itu jarum penunjuk kat penimbang berat itiew sudah menunjukkan prestasi peningkatan berat la gal!!! I guess i should maintain la, kan gal? Not overdo it with the food and all, kan gal?"
SMS/ Text msg sent to Miss India... and Miss India replied... (Jauh nih! Miss Venezuela hantaq SMS ke INDIA nih! Hahahah tadik jer baru cakap A/S dalam text msg tu, kan? Hahahaha - propah sangat!)
"Go easy on the food la gal. Just because you tak masuk ratu lagi dah, doesn't mean you don't have to keep your figuah and yes, it also doen't mean you get to eat the world and be fat again like you used to. Just makan lite² cukup la gal. Ko tu dah la cepat naik!!!"
Kan! Terus kena carut katanya. Hahahaha but she's right la I suppose. After all, I am still holding up to the title. Don't wanna be like Alicia Machado, Miss Universe from Venezuela, in 1996 - when her title NEARLY got stripped away just because she gained those extra few pounds. Hiks! Owh well, guess next week, mrasalah diet lite² and eat ala kadar and no more eat like b*bi ek? Opps!
And for the past one week - mek have been busy with work, catching up bende² yang mek tertinggal kat pejabat tu semua and what not - and aside from eat and work, I've been getting back my ample sleeping hours sebab I've stopped the diet pills. (HEY wait a sec - probably THAT's the reason WHY aku dok melantak macam kesial lately nih!? Haiyoh - so it's true. Once aku stop taking those pills, true - I gain back my sleeping time, and dinch tingtong bagai lagik - but it is ALSO true, like I cannot control my eating habbits as well. Aiyoh! SCARRY LAH! Hahahahah tak pa tak pa. Esok makan last! SUNDAY mek start diet balik! HAHAHA tetap nih, ESOK LAST katanya!? Maaacam syiak!)
So ppl, when questions like - WHATS NEXT for you, LKY, the new MW2006? Tu dia - mek baru jer jawab dalam 2 3 perenggan. Tak der bezanye sangat pun dalam segi hidup mek after menang the title - life still kena go on. It's not like winning the REAL MISS WORLD, kan? Kalau itu, harus la NO TIME utk even blogging, kan? Sebab mek sebok charity tour bagai. Which reminds me, Kuchai (a Fotopages friend of mine) asked me...
"Jadik akan start touring charity ke mana kah queen dearie **hahahha verangan ala2 wartawan gittew**"
Fri 1-Dec-2006 04:01
Posted by:kuchai - http://kucailiah.fotopages.com/
And I replied... "Start tour charity ke RESTOREN, GERAI MAKAN, DAPUR dan jugak KILANG BUAT MAKANAN! Hehehehehe Charity utk PERUT SENDIRI dulu nah - BALAS DENDAM! hahahahaha"
Sial kan!? Asik lah bab makaaaaaaaaan jer! Hehehehe.
Tapi on the other hand, whats next for me, will be February's MISS UNIVERSE 2007. Hehehe. HEY! Bukan mek masuk lah! Hish! I mean, MEK WILL PERGI to Miss Universe 2007 pageant itiew nanti, and probably with Ginger kot. Mrasalah dua dua pergi sekali sebab dua dua takkan bertanding. Di pertandingan itu lah, back in 2003 - mek kenali Ginger De La Loca... and 4 tahun kemudian, KBs sundal. Ko ado!? Hahahaha...
And yes, rumors has said that "Miss World 2006 Pageant" will be my last pageant? Well - hear this, dari empunya diri. YES. This is it - penutup. Finito. Kalau ade pa per pageant lepas² nih pun, either mek akan bergiat dibelakang pentas helping contestant yang under jagaan mek ke (kalau ade la kan - hiks) or mek just pergi, attend gittu² jer kan, ke, jadik judge lagi ke? Opppocot! Hiks!
Owh mek lupa kan nak citer part nih... hiks!
25th November, 2006:
- me and Ginger checked out from Federal Hotel tu on Saturday, the next day tu la kan, by noon. Me, Ginger and Volksie checked out lepas NoryAdy datang bawak hubby dia, tolong fixed tayar kete mek yang pecah tu sundel! SENTIAP! Asik lah pecah/ pancit tanya kete mek tu! ALWAYS lah. And while waiting for them to fix the tyre, mek sempat duduk borak² dengan Miss Bolivia, with Chi Chi the sister, yang menang IQP tu la kan, sementara diaorang tunggu kawan diaorang gi amek kete. Diaorang pon baru check out katanya time tu. Mrasa. And afterwards, kete mek dosi selesai difixkan, mrasalah Volks drive, mek kat sebelah, Ginger and Abby dok kat belakang - tenggelam tak nampak pa per sundel kat belakang tu sebab sarat dengan bagasi lah, flowers lah, our dresses la itu ini - serious - SANGAT tin sardin, lebih TERUK dari time datang hari tu. Haiyoyoh!
Kiteorang gi lunch dulu, kat KLCC. Mrasalah Ginger dan Mek dua dua senyum lebaq nih. SERIOUS. Kami senyum bagai nak rak waktu makan kat itu Sushi King - dua dua gumbira nih tgk makanan nih! Hahahahaha. And thanks to Abby, yang belanja kiteorang makan! And afterwards, Ginger dan Abang Volks gi hantar Abby ke Pudu yang tergedik² dah nak balik ke Taiping. Nak balik jumpe laki la tu! HAHAHAHA buat alasan Mak dia suruh balik la itu ini - always la fefets tu! Opps!

Lepas tu, ade sessi photoshoot utk amek pics mek utk kegunaan rasmi website Miss World itiew... hiks! And LEPAS tu, *haiyoh - packed juger hari Sabtu tu* siap², ke Underground pulak dah (or was it Downunder? Hummm - memana jer lah - janji its that place kat Melia Hotel tu). Buat apa tatau? Hahahaha kepingin nak buat show pulak dah! MRASA!
Jumpe ramai friends and what not kat situ - kire, terubat rindu nak buat show, again katanya. Berbekalkan evening dress Miss Venezuela mek tu jugak lah, mek buat show lagu Rihanna, Unfaithful. Ramai also kat sitiew - gerannnnd! Bonnie, my 1st Runner-up also ade. Kak Shee also ado u ols. Ramai lah - Zack Puteera... and Maheera and what not, geng² A/S also there - haiyoh! Sker lah sker lah! Hiks!
The evening ended quite late jugak lah - and lepas bersurai bagai semua, Ginger, Volks and me - balik ke 301 and terus semua kempot bagai nih. Mek lagi la, tidur feels feels woman nih - make up cuci, wig tanggal, bra bukak, tapi short dress tetap pakai bersama kepitan yang dinch dibuka bagai AND TIDUR! Cemana tu!? Hahahahahah cam siak sangat!
26th November, 2006:
Seawal pagi by 9.30am mek dosi kejagaan tapi Ginger, 1st time mek tgh dia tidur nyenyak lena bagai. Maybe dia penat yaamats kot. Tak per la. Mek biarkan dia tidur, as mek, Volks and 5thE keluar ke umah my auntie sebab mek introkan to my auntie to Volks and 5thE utk jadik Wedding Planner utk perkahwinan cousin mek ngan tunang/ bf dia yang candiew itiew (they were all there malam Miss World itiew) hiks! Yadey yadey yadey - takkan part ape diaorang discuss pon mek nak cite, kan? ADDINCH! Yang penting, diaorang dok sebok citer discuss barang hantaran lah, pelamin la, konsep la, itu ini bagai - MEK SEBOK MAKAN! Heheheheheheh mek makan ketupat dengan daging masak merah ke ape ke tah la - yang kuah daging pedas tu. Pastu melantak itu melantak ini - POPIA somemore. Muahahahah! And lepas tu, mek had to balik la sebab it was already noon - Volks and 5thE masih tak habis² discuss, sedangkan mek janji dengan BS, CA and Ginger, nak balik A/S by noon. So mek mintak diri, and mintak si 5thE hantarkan mek balik ke umah Volks nak amek kete mek sebab kami pegi umah my auntie tadik dengan kete 5thE, pastu, mrasalah, Ginger dosi siap siap dah, CA pon dah sampai dari umah kawan dia with my pet brother, and then - ha, mrasalah semua, peluk cium kiss kiss hugg huggg semua saying goodbye. MEK BENCI la time² nak balik cam tu. Bencik! Heheheh tapi what to do - kena jugak la kan.
So where's BS? Mrasa - dari umah Neoninna Sutinna Teoh, dia naik LRT dan turun kat stesen KJ. Mrasa gi amek dia terus sitiew. Hujan lebat sekals katanya afterwards, when kami terus masuk highway NKVE and menuju ke Restoren Jejantas Sungai Buloh - mrasalah MAKAN! AGAIN! Tapi mek dinch makan nasi dah - sebab mek feels² nak makan DUNKIN' DONUT, kan!? Lepas CA, BS and G melantak nasi bagai semua, kami singgah nak belik donut tu - ADO!? Nan ado! Habis katanya. Mek sentap! Mek nangis! Terus naik kete, suruh BS bawak - mek dan G dok belakang, CA dok depan, and menuju ke TAPAH pulak sebab G cakap ade satu lagi Dunkin Donut kat sitiew. MRASA!
Along the way balik pon, hujan lebat yaamats sundel! Seriyau ok tgk si BS tu bawak kete mek. Dia kan lambat take action. Kete depan dah red light break bagai, dia dok jalan lagik nih sampai dekat baru nak stop! SENTAP tau! Hahahaha bile kite bebel, dia buat muka - "LALALALALALA" cam tu. Hish! Heheheheh. And then sampai Tapah, kami stopped - makan donut yang buy 9 free 3 - mrasalah sorang 3 donut. MEK paling cepat habis makan donut² mek. Mek dah nak start makan donut kedua mek, Ginger pon sama, tapi BS and CA baru habis donut pertama diaorang. Clust kan!? Hhahahahahahahah
Dalam perjalanan pulang, selepas dari, Tapah - ke Sungai Perak - BS sambung bawak kete. Dan sampai Sungai Perak, stop pi FLUSH AIR katanya kan, and isi minyak bagai, terus tukar Pilot - Miss G, and co-pilot, mek. Mrasalah BS dan CA rehat² katanya. And then bawak tak sampai 15 minit, DAHHHHHH mula kami menggeletis dengan abang² yang dalam kete² sblh² kami yang memotong itiew! HAHAHAHAH! Tu diah! Penangan panduan Miss Ginger yer - terus dapat UNTUNG, kan? Yang penting nih, sanggup, berhenti tepi jalan, dalam keadaan hujan lite², mamat dalam kete yang ade 2 lagi abang² (yang driver tu kimpah - hazab! Bukan kimpah kiut yer!) sanggup turun mai mintak nombor phone nih setelah percubaan kasik nombor phone time kete sama sama masih bergerak, menemui jalan GAGAL! Hahahaha - dah tu, sambung jalan balik, bersms bagai ngan mek nih, ALIH² - NAK KENALAN DENGAN CIK GADIS YANG MEMBAWA KERETA ITIEW! Ko tak sentap!? Tak jugak - sebab hazab kan, so mek cam, OK JER - hahahahahah. Utk citer selanjutnye, mengenai hal nih, tanya G. Dia berkenalan dan sms dak ngan abang abang tu semua? (eh wait, cemana diaorang nak sms sedangkan mek tak pass pun nombor phone G kat jantan tu, ataupun passkan G nombor phone jantan gedik tu, kan? HAHAHAHAHAHA ngong toi la aku nih! LOL!)
So kiteorang sampai ke Gurun dalam kui brapa tatau lah ka - mek kurang periksa. Lepas dah hantaq dia balik, si Ginger tu la, mek, CA dan BS menyambung perjalanan kami ke AS. Ginger budget sampai Gurun by 9pm. MRASALAH pemanduan mek sampai ke AS BEFORE 9pm ok! So thats means (mek cukup benci org cakap 'Thats means', tatau kenapa. hahahah!) kiteorang sampai Gurun, awai lagi la kan? Mrasa...
And then, hantaq CA, and then hantaq BS balik - then, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaru la mek balik ke umah mek, sampai dalam 10nish jugak lah. Sampai², unpacked and what not - MAKAN LAGIK lepas tu! Muahahahahahaha gile la mek nih!
So itu lah dia u ols - citer mek, 4 series, sampai ke penghujungnya. Seperti biasa, mek disini, dah sampai part last² nih, nak la jugak buat part saying THANK YOU and what not semua nih kan. TAPI, please, pada mana² pihak, or sape², yang mek DINCH sebut, harap maaf harap maklum - mek nih orang biasa (mek bukan cam KETUA JURI MISS MALAYSIA HARI TU YER - yang kuarkan statement "SAYA NIH BUKAN ORG BIASA" yer!

PART 2 - The Road To Miss World 2006 Pageant!
THE DAY OF ALL DAYS SINCE CALENDER WAS INVENTED - hiks! Sambungan - Sambungan LAGI - Part 3 la kirenye ek?
24th November, 2006:
So ok, it was already somewhere 10nish kot waktu diaorang announcekan the top 10 semifinalists (Costa Rica, Bolivia, Thailand, India, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, Philippines, Seychelles and Venezuela). So lepas tu, everyone anjak kebelakang sikit, forming 1 line, and getting ready utk the q/a round. The questions were prepared by the panel of juries katanya. Sorang judge prepared 2 questions. Mrasalah ado 5 judges, kan? Ha - tapi, sapa dapat soalan sapa, wallahua'lam time tu sebab all the semifinalists kena pilih dari sampul surat yang disediakan gitiew.

The top tenners - MEK asik lah dok belakang. Sker bebenor semunyik dari spotlight, kan? Katanya, "WANNA FEEL THE TASTE OF THE LIMELIGHT ONCE AGAIN", kan? Awat dok belakang tatau? Hahaha PANAS la u ols! PANAS! Berpeloh ok kena spot light itiew! Muahahahahaha!
As kiteorang lined up, mek noticed, e eh? Mek LAST kat line tu? Contra dengan time IQP2006 - mek 1st. Tu yang mek cuak and membimbokan diri tu. This time around, I have ample time katanya nak gain my confidence, composure and be all relaxed and boleh think a lot - after hearing 9 contestants jawab Q/A before me. Thats the advantage part la kan. The disadvantagesnye piuler, mek last - mrasalah menahan lenguh berdiri lama sementara menunggu 9 contestants jawab soalans soalans. Mrasalah also mek will have NO PILIHAN as sampul surat question tu akan jadik tinggal satu jer, kan? What if soalan tu susah!? What if soalan tu me don't like? What if - AHHHHH! Enuff with what if katanya hati mek - just stay relax, and think "Malaysia Boleh!" Eh, silap, "VENEZUELA boleh!" Hahahah mati la mek!
9 contestants before mek jawab soalan² yang mek rase, pretty much ade yang susah, ade jugak yang ala ala lite² senang. Some of the questions, mek dosi practiced before, tapi geramnye depa yang dapat soalan tu, kan? Sepanjang session Q/A tu, mek kept comfortkan hati mek sendiri saying "LKY, KO DAH BERPRACTICED DAN DAH BERPREPARED BAGAI FOR MONTHS! Takkan ko nak biarkan peluang yang mendatang, for you to set things right compared to IQP2006 tu datang dan pergi cam tu jer? RELAX beb RELAAAAX!" And yes - you guessed it right. Mek dok sebok comfortkan diri mek sendiri sampai ade some of the questions mek dgr, ade yang some mek tak dgr - ade yang mek paid concentration of the answers given, ade yang mek, tak concentrate. Tapi soalan yang diaorang dapat tu, ade some yang mek rase, kalau MEK yang dapat, mek PENGSAN - contoh...
INDIA: Bukit Bintang - labeled as PATPONG of Malaysia. > Mrasalah kalau mek dapat soalan dia, my 1st respond would be "I'm sorry, what's PATPONG!?" Confirm! Confirm aku terpelanteng keluar dari top 10! HAHAHAHA and THAT is why mek rase India jawab SANGAT vast sebab mek tahu DIA tahu Patpong tu ape, dia tahu kemana arah tujuan jawapan dia - but I guess luck tak shine on her sangat malam tu.

Miss India, during her Q/A round... I must say, she gave one good answer - but I guess, the judges tak see it the way I did kot... Tak per la. Ini la namanya good answer, but luck wasn't on her side...
SINGAPORE: If you become a real man, lelaki sejati, what would u do? > Mek feels² if I get this question, mek nak buat lawak by answering... "Jerking off?" Confirm dilabelkan sebagai LUCAH dan otak blue je, KAN!? Hahahahaha

Miss Spain, tgh pilih sampul surat utk soalan dia. She was one of the crowd's favorite as well, giving good answer during her Q/A session also!
SPAIN: What's BEAUTY!? > Soalan yang mek KEPINGIN sangat² nak dapat sebab mek dah berjuta kali prepared a right answer for that. Mek tak brapa ingat ape Spain jawab, tapi ade kaitan dengan Grandmother being beautiful too, inside, walaupun dosi kertu, kan? Kalau mek, mek jawab... "Beauty is skin deep and is a subjective matter - if not, why on earth would they say Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder? It simply refers to, one pair of eyes that sees beauty, might not be seen by the next few sets of eyes. Beauty doesn't only consist of the external beauty - it also combines the internal beauty which combines strength, energy, confidence and the ability to see that real beauty comes from within, and if one is smart enuff to know that he or she has self confidence in themselves, by all mean - they are already beautiful, inside and out." KAN!? Tapi ado mek dapat soalan tu? ALWAYS LAH! Mek rase nak hentak² kaki sebab ALWAYS tak dapat soalan yang mek nak! Muahahaha! I guess that's what u call as LUCK, kan?
The rest of the contestants mek dinch ingat - tapi yang mek ingat, THAILAND, PHILIPPINES (the underdog contestant) - gave a very high standard answers to their questions! Mek pengsan!

I've always admired Miss Thailand, Eva - for her guts, spirit and poise, confident up on stage. Not just during her catwalk rounds and what not - but especially during her Q/A sessions. She yang mek tgk, selalu dan banyak buat homework before masuk mana² pageant and mek sker blajar cara² dia - Where do u think I got the "COMPASSION FOR THE UNDERPRIVILEGED PPL"??? From Aishwarya Rai? Addinch! EVA got it from Aishu, and shared it with me! Thanks Eva!!!
Mai time mek pulak, as I was walking towards the MC, mek dok risau crowd akan jerit "LAMBANG KEMELAYSIAAN". Mujur tak der, and all were like, tepuk pun idak, caruts jerit pon idak - semua cam diam dan tepuk LITE² sajork. IF ade yang jerit tu, mark my words - CONFIRM, level composure and confidence mek MERUDUM jatuh ok! Thank GOD!
So waktu MC baca soalan tu, usual lah, muka CUAK dok ada la kan. Ade dalam camera sapadia tatau - nampak muka mek cuak waktu MC tgh bukakkan sampul surat soalan tu, and AS dia baca soalan tu kat mek, mek dah mula pandang ke crowd and felt, "NAHHHH! THAT'S IT!". Kenape?! Why!? WHY!? Hehehehe That's it nye sebab - I've JUSTTTTTT practiced that q with VOLKS THE NIGHT before - kat bilik hotel! It was definitely my luck! TAPI, mek dinch jawab like mek practiced tu. Mek actually citer tah pa per waktu practiced tu, but THANKS to Volks yang ade gave his way of answering that q, terus mek dapat idea SPONTAN dan terus mek dapat idea on HOW to jawab soalan tu in a way org tak expected mek to jawab... WHAT WAS THE QUESTION!? Heheh opps! Lupo nak cakap pulak ek...
"Out of the many countries in the world, which country is your dream-country to visit and why?" <- Mek tak ingat bebetul soalan tu, but it was soooooooooooooooomething like that la kirenye. Like, dalam banyak² negara, negara mana yang mek impi mimpikan utk pergi and kenapasal? Ha - lebih kurang ley...
So mek jawablah ginik... AGAIN, mungkin berbeza dari the actual jawapan I gave, tapi, it's like, sooooooooooooooooomething like this la ek...
"Thank you for the question. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and to all the judges. Out of the many countries in the world, the one country that I dreamed of going to, would definitely be, my ROOMMATE's country, INDIA (Waktu tu mek dah paling kebelakang dan tunjukkan tangan mek ke arah Ginger, Miss India. And ade yang cakap, "MOTIF, feeling² macam Miss World/ Miss Universe betul? Berroomate bagai? Propah sangat² adek², kan?" Hahaha - newsflash - hello? Ginger memang BETOL roommate mek kat hotel Federal itiew - ko kenapa?! HAHAHAH But of course I can't blame these ppl sebab maybe diaorang tak tahu pun mek share room ngan Miss India, kan? Ok so now u know nah? HEHEHEHEHE dinch propah tau! HAHAHAHA) Look at her ladies and gentlemen (Thank Ginger, yang mengajarkan mek concept reverse psychology itiew - like, asking ppl and judges to look at Miss India, walhal, its actually, LOOK ME! Hahaha tapi yer yer, I know - sorry, mek gunakan G utk buat reverse psychology... sorry G! Hiks! Tapi she was certainly happy mek ikut ajaran dia, kan gal!?), she's not only beautiful, but smart, intelligent, and I would like to see more of these ppl in her country, and share and learn more from them. And ladies and gentlemen, who wouldn't wanna visit the beautiful love-story country; haven't you heard of the Taj Mahal? Thank you!" and waktu tu confidence level mek went up a bit as the crowd went roaring and cheering for me, compared to org ketawa sambil tepok during IQP2006, kan?
And the last part of the answer tu, the love-story country, and about Taj Mahal tu, it was Volks's idea. Thanks Volks! So see ppl, it's good to do q/a practice with friends yang boleh share ideas and what not - boleh dipraktikkan. Tak der maknenye "Over lahhh" practice² Q/A nih. I mean, if it wasn't for the practice, and ajaran tips from friends, that instant moment, walaupun soalan senang, you could go - BLANK!

Tudiah! Apa yang mek melalut tu tatau!? Hahahahaha but mek puas hati kali nih! SANGAT² puas hati dengan performance mek during the Q/A round - idok la macam waktu kes IQP tu. NANGIS! *hahaha walaupun temanya tersenyum atas stage, kan? Bimbo! HAHAHAH
Tapi still, as much as confidence mek dosi naik, mek STILL ade my own pilihan for the final 3 sebab mek dah dgr jawapan² contestants² lain, still, mek rase, ade yang lebih vast jawapannye. Tapi tatau la judges agree ngan mek ke idak time tu, wallahua'lam. Mek stayed calm and still fikirkan the worse - mek WON'T make it into the top 3. Mek pikir, mek dah buat yang terbaik during Q/A and mek dah capai matlamat ke 2 mek. 1st, mek nak have fun. 2nd, mek nak tebus maruah kebodohan mek jawab during IQP2006 and I did good this time around. Mek berpuas hati, dan soal dapat ke idak ke final 3 - mek dah REDHA! Mek tak kisah! Janji mek dah puas hati.

My personal pick for the final 3 would be THAILAND, INDIA and either SPAIN or PHILIPPINES. Tapi tatau la judges punye keputusan lagu mana pulak dah, kan? And waktu dah turun stage tu, mek ingat mek jumpa Imah Lenggok, YANG TAK KENAI AKU katanya, tak prasan, bole? Hanjeng sangat! Suara mek nih hang nak lempaq kat mana tatau!? HAHAHAHAHA waktu mek jumpa Imah tu, mek sendiri cakap, mek rasa mek won't be up there for the final 3, namun, mek gumbira dos! And the way Imah tgk mek, mek tau dia carut dalam hati la tu! Hahaha - KAN betul!? Cuba baca entry dia! Hanjeng sangat dia ckp mek kuarkan statement 'adek²' sangat, kan!? HAHAHAHA babiks!
Tak sempat nak borak lelama dengan Imah, MC dah calling² naik stage for the final 3 results! HAIYOH! Cepat sekals! Pantas sunggoh ketua juri kira markah - cekap! Dibantu oleh auditor also, mrasalah pantas, kan? Mek sujuds! And so, mek pon, terkontang kanting lari nih pi ke backstage and joined the group of 9 beautiful, semifinalists, yang arah tujuan dalam pageant nih bakal berubah nasib sebaik sajork MC umumkan sapa top 3. Sayang mek berdiri jauh dari G. Mek feels² nak pegang² tangan dia lagi cam IQP hari tu. Sentiap!
And so - bla bla bla bla bla MC cakap apa mek dah tak dgr - tapi yang mek tau, mek sebok cakap apa tah ngan Bonnie Miss Philippines waktu tu, when all I heard was "NEGARA YANG MEMBEKALKAN KAIN BERGUNI² - VENEZUELA!!!!!!!" Mek macam, OWH MY GOD! OWH MY GOD! OWH MY GOOD LORD!!!! Tangan terus di letakkan ke dada, dan mek terus jalan, bukan menuju ke depan, but menuju ke Miss India, as mek peluk dia so erat and dia tak putus² genggam peluk mek erat too as though she knew how surprised and excited I was to be announced 1st to be in the Final 3. She then said to me... "Go girl... go!". At that moment, I wish I could pull her together with me into the final 3. But my hopes waktu tu, she WILL eventually make it into the final top 3. So mek went to the front of the stage - all I could see is the white, spotlight - crowd waving and cheering - and one or two of the judges were giving me that 'look' already as they clapped their hands. Honestly, I don't care if I win or not - I was SO SO extremely happy to be up there in the final 3! Honestly. Percaya cakap mek - menang or kalah dah tak penting time tu. Mek made it into the final 3, I made the crowd happy, I didn't disappoint my friends yang came all the way from Kedah, and I had the support of my cousins yang datang with their partners - my god! Tak perlu menang ok time tu, I felt I was in a world of my own! THANK YOU!

Tudiah! Tersengeh sampai ketelinga hang noh! Tetap lah lambaian lite², kan? Dinch lah mek gherti dan tak brapa suke sangat buat lambaian ratu² tu la - time tu, like, "HELLO!? U're in the top 3, bukannye MENANG lagi pon - motif ko feel² nak lambai persis RATU!? Lambai cam org biasa dah la - GEDIK sket!" Muahahaha!


TOP: Miss Spain, sewaktu diumumkan as the 2nd lucky contestant to be in the final 3... BOTTOM: Mrasa, the underdog, the cinderella-story contestant, Bonnie - Miss Philippines...
And then, they announced SPAIN and PHILIPPINES into the final 3 - and waktu tu, happiness mek went crashing down as INDIA, my roommate, my close and best friend, my kawan secarut, mencarut, who gave me the support, strength and energy to go that far malam tu, yang went through a lot, with and without me, DIDN'T make it into the top 3. She was clapping and smiling for me, tapi dalam hati - NO, she didn't carut. I KNOW she was extremely happy for me, and I'm very touched. Tapi, like she once said dalam her blog about me - I know she showed no signs of sentap, upset or nak menangis DQ or what not. But deep down, lets face it. Dia pun manusia. Dia ada expectations sendiri yang dipendam dalam hati - and given that chance dalam top 10, she was happy. But honestly, dalam hati dia, jauh dalam lubuk hati dia, kita tahu apa dia rasa? Diberi peluang and to have it hilang in split seconds, dah tak dapat continue the fight in the final 3, I KNOW how she feels - and I KNOW it sebab I've been there. But she, like me, in IQP - didn't show off perasaan hampa dan kecewa dia dan she was VERY supportive of me malam tu waktu I was called into the top 3. She was still smiling, and cheerful and what not - but like many times aku cakap kat ko G, aku bukan la bengap tak leh detect apa yang ko tgh rasa. You said so yourself, among your friends, KBs and what not - aku jer yang SELALU dapat detect what you're feeling and going through, and you can NEVER lie to me sebab aku selalu leh detect. And I DID malam tu. Tapi, tah la... G, sabar la gal. Your luck tak shine on you malam tu... and I understand... dan SEBAB tu, mek terus said to myself - I GOTTA do this right. Not just for the sake of my friends and myself, tapi bagi G yang banyak sokong, bagi dorongan kat aku. Aku tannak kena peligan dengan dia for doing silly things during top 3!
So what happened during top 3? Each of the final 3 akan diajukan one same question, and all 3 finalists kena jawab secara bertulis! Memula tulis jawapan, and then, with the MC sebagai saksi nih, kite kena baca balik ape yang kite tulis tu. So since MC dok ada sebelah dan perhatikan kite, contestants dinch bols menipu! Like, tulis lain, bacanye lain. ADDINCH! Tak leh! Mo ah moooo ahhh!!!! Hiks!
The question was actually, again, like I pernah practiced with G, Volks and some other friends (see, its good when we practice a lot - tgk² keluar soalan tu. TAPI practice time, bercakap - BUKAN BERTULIS CAM INIEY! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!) Hahahah mati la...
"Apakah kualiti yang anda ada utk memenangi Miss World pada malam ini" like, whats that one quality that u have that would make u the new Miss World la kirenye - sooomething like that lah kan...
Mrasalah sesudah jer MC baca soalan tu, mek dok kire nak jawab jer dah sebab mek tak pasti brapa lama diaorang kasik utk jawap soalan itiew. Alih², mek pegang pensil tu nak tulis jer... MC cakap "A a a a!!! Jgn jawab/ mula menulis lagi..." AIYOH! Mek melu! Mek pusing tgk Spain and Philippines, they were like, masih dok berdiri elok jer... motif mek kelam kabut!? Pastu mek nampak judges, ade sorang tu macam, menulis something. Mek mula dah nak speku - ADAKAH dia nak tolak marks sebab mek nak jawab sebelum masa bermula? Hey... mek pegang pensil itiew sajork! Tak sempat menulis lagik ok. Hiks! Mek dosi cuak! And mula dah nak hilang idea nak jawab apa. DAMNIT! Cemana nih! And at that moment, mek nengok G - giving me that smile and buat sign lingo cam, RELAX, and U CAN DO IT cam tu. So terus again, mek ingat apa dia selalu dok citer kat mek, bile dia up on stage - NOTHING EXISTS. YOU, YOU and YOU. Kan? So mrasalah ME ME ME and ME, HERE HERE HERE and HERE only, ek? Hiks! Mek dah tak pedulik dah ape yang nak berlaku, dan as soon as MC cakap, anda boleh mula menjawab, se - ka - rang! TERUS nih mek menulis bagai nak rak - Siap Joe KK jerit "Venezuela jgn tulis 8000 words macam kat blog pulak!" hahahah that gave me a brief moment to smile and relaxed a bit. Eh, wait, dia cakap tu BEFORE mek start menjawab. Sort of like, kasik aku relaxed a bit. Tapi once mek dah start menulis/ menjawab, mek dah tak dgr apa apa dah, mek dah tak pedulik apa apa dah - yang mek tahu, mek nak habiskan points mek nih...
Tulis pi tulis mai - haiyoyoyoh!!! APA YANG MEK TULIS NIH!? No, I mean, bukan I had no points - for goodness sake mek ade points for this one - cuma, mek TAK GHERTI BACA apa yang mek tulis. Sebab tu kalau ade sape² prasan, mek was the 1st contestant yang STOPPED writing, sebab mek sebok cuba baca balik slowly dalam hati - apa iniey!? And FINALLY waktu MC cakap times up, mek managed to regain my confidence, sebab mek dah figured out apa ke bende yang mek tulis tu. Sebenarnye mek nak tergelak time tu tapi, biasa lah - sat gi org kata mek sewel lak tgk kertas sendiri and gelak. HAHAHAHAHA...Mek nak tergelak bukannye ape noq - punye la KALUT nak tulis, sampai tatau tulis apa... bole?
But roughly, my answer was... "The one quality that I have that would make me tonight's winner, is the compassion for the underprivileged people, to let the world hear them, help them and... that is the one quality that would definitely make me tonight's new Miss World..." something like that la. SPAIN gave a very good answer mek rase compared to mine, I think la waktu tu. But the real surprise was Philippines - jawapan panjang berjela, points dia something about being WARM. Clust! The new Miss World is WARM katanya. Habis kami nih COLD la? HAHAHAHA Tapi apa apa pon mek rase, SPAIN and PHILIPPINES gave good answers. Mek? Well - lets just say, mek berpuas hati dengan my own answer - but I think if it was a verbal final q/a round, I would do better kot. I think. Hehehehehe...

Tudiah! Mrasalah semua pakat dok pulun tulis - Daaaaaahh seghupa WAITRESS dah mek nengok! Mrasalah ini lah namanya, contest mencari waitress berkaliber ye ke dok? HAHAHAHA just kidding. I would prefer if diaorang sediakan meja, and kami ended up bertonggeng tertonggeng bagai menulis kat meja tu. Baru confident siket. Tapi, erm, dahhh macam nak mengudi pulak, ye ke dok? HAHAHAHAHA!

Tu mek tgh tulis ke, or tgh try baca balik apa aku tulis tu? Hahahah yang penting, subang mek ngan subang judge yang berbaju hijau nih, ala ala SAMA ok! Hahahah

Ha - with the MC dok sebelah, mana ade chance nak jawab lain dari yang aku tulis, kan? MRASALAH dinch bols jadik finalish penipu, kan? OPPS!
And then, pose pose catwalk² bagai, and turun balik stage ikut tangga depan, lalu depan judges - and then, standby kat backstage. Kejap jer - tak lama pun. Tapi sempat la bergambar ngan Ginger jap. Bole? HEHEHEHE - and then Kak Vee tolong² touch up bagai, and then, JENGJEJENG! ZA MOMENTZ OF TRUTZ!!! Mati la mek!
As Philippines went up, mek nampak Spain masih ditouch up mak hayamnye, si Kak Azie itiew. Dan since diaorang dah suruh mek naik stage - mek pon naik lah sebelum Spain. Walhal kalau nak ikutkan urutan panggilan masuk ke top 3, patutnye, mek paling kanan, Spain tengah and Philippines dok kiri sekali. Ini idak - it was like, MEK dah dok centre. And diapit Philippines on my right, and Spain on my left. As we were holding hands, as the ratu jemputan, Kak Mimi if I'm not mistaken, parade, catwalk melalui crowd, naik ke pentas, dengan crown Miss World 1990something I tak dgr sangat, nak crownkan the new Miss World 2006 - otak mek berjalan dan terpikir something. THIS was like in 2003 - Miss Universe Transgender... I was in the middle, Pasha Miss Argentina was on my right - Sasha Miss India was on my left. And, THE MINUTE the MC sebut Miss SPAIN as 2nd Runner-up, mek dah terkejut, sebab mek cakap dalam hati - mek dapat nombor 3 pun TAK PER!!! Its ok! Mek terima! Alih² Satine Miss Spain got 2nd Runner-up. Tinggalnya Bonnie Miss Philippines, and mek Miss Venezuela - mek teringat pasal Miss Universe 2003 tu again. Tak tahu kenape, although mek cakap, now, mek dapat 1st Runner-up and Bonnie menang pun tak per, somehow, mek tak mo menipu, a pinch of me macam, perlu ke jadik cam Miss Universe 2003 tu, Sasha menang and me, Miss Mexico won 1st Runner-up? Kan? Like, can I like, win? Nak jugak menang nih - TAPI, kalau tak menang, mek tak kisah u ols! Its not like mek nak jump off the stage and lari nangis² bagai pon - mek dah made it that far pun macam, THANK GOD!
And then, as if my wish was answered that very instant - nak mrasa sangat, kan? Nak sangat duduk tgh, again, kan!? Ha - hamek! Bonnie was at that moment announced as the 1st Runner-up, and leaving me, Miss Venezuela, as the new Miss World 2006! Aiyoh! I could just SCREAM! I can hear the crowd did! I can see G clapping in joy! I could see my make up artist, Kak Vee, and Abang Volks - smiling and clapping in relief, and I was like, OWH MY GOD! SERIOUS!?!?!?!? Is this happening, again!? LIKE, OWH MY GOD! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I did it! I did it!
And waktu tu, it was like, seriously, I cannot believe it I won. I was like, no shit!? HAIYOH! Bahagian depan stage dah dipenuhi dengan crowd,with cameras and what not - spotlight, camera flash, the heat - the excitement! OWH MY GOD! As I walked forward towards the centre stage - I was like NEARLY, NEARLY yer, cried! This is it! I actually won! This is definitely, something, very surprising! I didn't expect this ok! Like I said, the 1st two main purpose of entering the pageant, dah mek kecapi. The 3rd nih, kalau menang apa apa - its a bonus. Winning Miss Body Beautiful was certainly a bonus - THIS ONE!? It's one hell of a bonus that I could never, didn't expect, AT ALL!

Waiting for that "ONE MOMENT IN TIME"/ "A MOMENT LIKE THIS" katanya, yer? Hiks!...

Miss Spain, as she was announced 2nd runner-up to the title...

"If for any reasons, the new Miss World 2006 cannot complete her reign and duty, then, the 1st runner-up will resume her place and takes the title of Miss World 2006" - kaaatanya, yer? Hehehehe. I don't know about Miss Philippines, tapi mek time tu SANGAT CUAK! Hiks!

Drama, dari cinta pun tercipta, penuh, huraian aneka warna... la la la" Bole? Hahahah mek dah nak nangis dah tu as I REALLY cannot believe it, I WON!?! All the hard work of diet, gym (walhal ade lagik 8 hari hutang tak habis pi gym tu! HAHAHA), ikat perut, diet pills 4 jenis, insomnia, buat bendera tangan, promo HERE HERE and HERE, and all - membuahkan hasil terakhir yang akan mek ingat sampai bila²! LOOK ME! ME WON! ME WORLD NOW!

24th November, 2006:
So ok, it was already somewhere 10nish kot waktu diaorang announcekan the top 10 semifinalists (Costa Rica, Bolivia, Thailand, India, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, Philippines, Seychelles and Venezuela). So lepas tu, everyone anjak kebelakang sikit, forming 1 line, and getting ready utk the q/a round. The questions were prepared by the panel of juries katanya. Sorang judge prepared 2 questions. Mrasalah ado 5 judges, kan? Ha - tapi, sapa dapat soalan sapa, wallahua'lam time tu sebab all the semifinalists kena pilih dari sampul surat yang disediakan gitiew.

The top tenners - MEK asik lah dok belakang. Sker bebenor semunyik dari spotlight, kan? Katanya, "WANNA FEEL THE TASTE OF THE LIMELIGHT ONCE AGAIN", kan? Awat dok belakang tatau? Hahaha PANAS la u ols! PANAS! Berpeloh ok kena spot light itiew! Muahahahahaha!
As kiteorang lined up, mek noticed, e eh? Mek LAST kat line tu? Contra dengan time IQP2006 - mek 1st. Tu yang mek cuak and membimbokan diri tu. This time around, I have ample time katanya nak gain my confidence, composure and be all relaxed and boleh think a lot - after hearing 9 contestants jawab Q/A before me. Thats the advantage part la kan. The disadvantagesnye piuler, mek last - mrasalah menahan lenguh berdiri lama sementara menunggu 9 contestants jawab soalans soalans. Mrasalah also mek will have NO PILIHAN as sampul surat question tu akan jadik tinggal satu jer, kan? What if soalan tu susah!? What if soalan tu me don't like? What if - AHHHHH! Enuff with what if katanya hati mek - just stay relax, and think "Malaysia Boleh!" Eh, silap, "VENEZUELA boleh!" Hahahah mati la mek!
9 contestants before mek jawab soalan² yang mek rase, pretty much ade yang susah, ade jugak yang ala ala lite² senang. Some of the questions, mek dosi practiced before, tapi geramnye depa yang dapat soalan tu, kan? Sepanjang session Q/A tu, mek kept comfortkan hati mek sendiri saying "LKY, KO DAH BERPRACTICED DAN DAH BERPREPARED BAGAI FOR MONTHS! Takkan ko nak biarkan peluang yang mendatang, for you to set things right compared to IQP2006 tu datang dan pergi cam tu jer? RELAX beb RELAAAAX!" And yes - you guessed it right. Mek dok sebok comfortkan diri mek sendiri sampai ade some of the questions mek dgr, ade yang some mek tak dgr - ade yang mek paid concentration of the answers given, ade yang mek, tak concentrate. Tapi soalan yang diaorang dapat tu, ade some yang mek rase, kalau MEK yang dapat, mek PENGSAN - contoh...
INDIA: Bukit Bintang - labeled as PATPONG of Malaysia. > Mrasalah kalau mek dapat soalan dia, my 1st respond would be "I'm sorry, what's PATPONG!?" Confirm! Confirm aku terpelanteng keluar dari top 10! HAHAHAHA and THAT is why mek rase India jawab SANGAT vast sebab mek tahu DIA tahu Patpong tu ape, dia tahu kemana arah tujuan jawapan dia - but I guess luck tak shine on her sangat malam tu.

Miss India, during her Q/A round... I must say, she gave one good answer - but I guess, the judges tak see it the way I did kot... Tak per la. Ini la namanya good answer, but luck wasn't on her side...
SINGAPORE: If you become a real man, lelaki sejati, what would u do? > Mek feels² if I get this question, mek nak buat lawak by answering... "Jerking off?" Confirm dilabelkan sebagai LUCAH dan otak blue je, KAN!? Hahahahaha

Miss Spain, tgh pilih sampul surat utk soalan dia. She was one of the crowd's favorite as well, giving good answer during her Q/A session also!
SPAIN: What's BEAUTY!? > Soalan yang mek KEPINGIN sangat² nak dapat sebab mek dah berjuta kali prepared a right answer for that. Mek tak brapa ingat ape Spain jawab, tapi ade kaitan dengan Grandmother being beautiful too, inside, walaupun dosi kertu, kan? Kalau mek, mek jawab... "Beauty is skin deep and is a subjective matter - if not, why on earth would they say Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder? It simply refers to, one pair of eyes that sees beauty, might not be seen by the next few sets of eyes. Beauty doesn't only consist of the external beauty - it also combines the internal beauty which combines strength, energy, confidence and the ability to see that real beauty comes from within, and if one is smart enuff to know that he or she has self confidence in themselves, by all mean - they are already beautiful, inside and out." KAN!? Tapi ado mek dapat soalan tu? ALWAYS LAH! Mek rase nak hentak² kaki sebab ALWAYS tak dapat soalan yang mek nak! Muahahaha! I guess that's what u call as LUCK, kan?
The rest of the contestants mek dinch ingat - tapi yang mek ingat, THAILAND, PHILIPPINES (the underdog contestant) - gave a very high standard answers to their questions! Mek pengsan!

I've always admired Miss Thailand, Eva - for her guts, spirit and poise, confident up on stage. Not just during her catwalk rounds and what not - but especially during her Q/A sessions. She yang mek tgk, selalu dan banyak buat homework before masuk mana² pageant and mek sker blajar cara² dia - Where do u think I got the "COMPASSION FOR THE UNDERPRIVILEGED PPL"??? From Aishwarya Rai? Addinch! EVA got it from Aishu, and shared it with me! Thanks Eva!!!
Mai time mek pulak, as I was walking towards the MC, mek dok risau crowd akan jerit "LAMBANG KEMELAYSIAAN". Mujur tak der, and all were like, tepuk pun idak, caruts jerit pon idak - semua cam diam dan tepuk LITE² sajork. IF ade yang jerit tu, mark my words - CONFIRM, level composure and confidence mek MERUDUM jatuh ok! Thank GOD!
So waktu MC baca soalan tu, usual lah, muka CUAK dok ada la kan. Ade dalam camera sapadia tatau - nampak muka mek cuak waktu MC tgh bukakkan sampul surat soalan tu, and AS dia baca soalan tu kat mek, mek dah mula pandang ke crowd and felt, "NAHHHH! THAT'S IT!". Kenape?! Why!? WHY!? Hehehehe That's it nye sebab - I've JUSTTTTTT practiced that q with VOLKS THE NIGHT before - kat bilik hotel! It was definitely my luck! TAPI, mek dinch jawab like mek practiced tu. Mek actually citer tah pa per waktu practiced tu, but THANKS to Volks yang ade gave his way of answering that q, terus mek dapat idea SPONTAN dan terus mek dapat idea on HOW to jawab soalan tu in a way org tak expected mek to jawab... WHAT WAS THE QUESTION!? Heheh opps! Lupo nak cakap pulak ek...
"Out of the many countries in the world, which country is your dream-country to visit and why?" <- Mek tak ingat bebetul soalan tu, but it was soooooooooooooooomething like that la kirenye. Like, dalam banyak² negara, negara mana yang mek impi mimpikan utk pergi and kenapasal? Ha - lebih kurang ley...
So mek jawablah ginik... AGAIN, mungkin berbeza dari the actual jawapan I gave, tapi, it's like, sooooooooooooooooomething like this la ek...
"Thank you for the question. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and to all the judges. Out of the many countries in the world, the one country that I dreamed of going to, would definitely be, my ROOMMATE's country, INDIA (Waktu tu mek dah paling kebelakang dan tunjukkan tangan mek ke arah Ginger, Miss India. And ade yang cakap, "MOTIF, feeling² macam Miss World/ Miss Universe betul? Berroomate bagai? Propah sangat² adek², kan?" Hahaha - newsflash - hello? Ginger memang BETOL roommate mek kat hotel Federal itiew - ko kenapa?! HAHAHAH But of course I can't blame these ppl sebab maybe diaorang tak tahu pun mek share room ngan Miss India, kan? Ok so now u know nah? HEHEHEHEHE dinch propah tau! HAHAHAHA) Look at her ladies and gentlemen (Thank Ginger, yang mengajarkan mek concept reverse psychology itiew - like, asking ppl and judges to look at Miss India, walhal, its actually, LOOK ME! Hahaha tapi yer yer, I know - sorry, mek gunakan G utk buat reverse psychology... sorry G! Hiks! Tapi she was certainly happy mek ikut ajaran dia, kan gal!?), she's not only beautiful, but smart, intelligent, and I would like to see more of these ppl in her country, and share and learn more from them. And ladies and gentlemen, who wouldn't wanna visit the beautiful love-story country; haven't you heard of the Taj Mahal? Thank you!" and waktu tu confidence level mek went up a bit as the crowd went roaring and cheering for me, compared to org ketawa sambil tepok during IQP2006, kan?
And the last part of the answer tu, the love-story country, and about Taj Mahal tu, it was Volks's idea. Thanks Volks! So see ppl, it's good to do q/a practice with friends yang boleh share ideas and what not - boleh dipraktikkan. Tak der maknenye "Over lahhh" practice² Q/A nih. I mean, if it wasn't for the practice, and ajaran tips from friends, that instant moment, walaupun soalan senang, you could go - BLANK!

Tudiah! Apa yang mek melalut tu tatau!? Hahahahaha but mek puas hati kali nih! SANGAT² puas hati dengan performance mek during the Q/A round - idok la macam waktu kes IQP tu. NANGIS! *hahaha walaupun temanya tersenyum atas stage, kan? Bimbo! HAHAHAH

My personal pick for the final 3 would be THAILAND, INDIA and either SPAIN or PHILIPPINES. Tapi tatau la judges punye keputusan lagu mana pulak dah, kan? And waktu dah turun stage tu, mek ingat mek jumpa Imah Lenggok, YANG TAK KENAI AKU katanya, tak prasan, bole? Hanjeng sangat! Suara mek nih hang nak lempaq kat mana tatau!? HAHAHAHAHA waktu mek jumpa Imah tu, mek sendiri cakap, mek rasa mek won't be up there for the final 3, namun, mek gumbira dos! And the way Imah tgk mek, mek tau dia carut dalam hati la tu! Hahaha - KAN betul!? Cuba baca entry dia! Hanjeng sangat dia ckp mek kuarkan statement 'adek²' sangat, kan!? HAHAHAHA babiks!
Tak sempat nak borak lelama dengan Imah, MC dah calling² naik stage for the final 3 results! HAIYOH! Cepat sekals! Pantas sunggoh ketua juri kira markah - cekap! Dibantu oleh auditor also, mrasalah pantas, kan? Mek sujuds! And so, mek pon, terkontang kanting lari nih pi ke backstage and joined the group of 9 beautiful, semifinalists, yang arah tujuan dalam pageant nih bakal berubah nasib sebaik sajork MC umumkan sapa top 3. Sayang mek berdiri jauh dari G. Mek feels² nak pegang² tangan dia lagi cam IQP hari tu. Sentiap!
And so - bla bla bla bla bla MC cakap apa mek dah tak dgr - tapi yang mek tau, mek sebok cakap apa tah ngan Bonnie Miss Philippines waktu tu, when all I heard was "NEGARA YANG MEMBEKALKAN KAIN BERGUNI² - VENEZUELA!!!!!!!" Mek macam, OWH MY GOD! OWH MY GOD! OWH MY GOOD LORD!!!! Tangan terus di letakkan ke dada, dan mek terus jalan, bukan menuju ke depan, but menuju ke Miss India, as mek peluk dia so erat and dia tak putus² genggam peluk mek erat too as though she knew how surprised and excited I was to be announced 1st to be in the Final 3. She then said to me... "Go girl... go!". At that moment, I wish I could pull her together with me into the final 3. But my hopes waktu tu, she WILL eventually make it into the final top 3. So mek went to the front of the stage - all I could see is the white, spotlight - crowd waving and cheering - and one or two of the judges were giving me that 'look' already as they clapped their hands. Honestly, I don't care if I win or not - I was SO SO extremely happy to be up there in the final 3! Honestly. Percaya cakap mek - menang or kalah dah tak penting time tu. Mek made it into the final 3, I made the crowd happy, I didn't disappoint my friends yang came all the way from Kedah, and I had the support of my cousins yang datang with their partners - my god! Tak perlu menang ok time tu, I felt I was in a world of my own! THANK YOU!

Tudiah! Tersengeh sampai ketelinga hang noh! Tetap lah lambaian lite², kan? Dinch lah mek gherti dan tak brapa suke sangat buat lambaian ratu² tu la - time tu, like, "HELLO!? U're in the top 3, bukannye MENANG lagi pon - motif ko feel² nak lambai persis RATU!? Lambai cam org biasa dah la - GEDIK sket!" Muahahaha!


TOP: Miss Spain, sewaktu diumumkan as the 2nd lucky contestant to be in the final 3... BOTTOM: Mrasa, the underdog, the cinderella-story contestant, Bonnie - Miss Philippines...
And then, they announced SPAIN and PHILIPPINES into the final 3 - and waktu tu, happiness mek went crashing down as INDIA, my roommate, my close and best friend, my kawan secarut, mencarut, who gave me the support, strength and energy to go that far malam tu, yang went through a lot, with and without me, DIDN'T make it into the top 3. She was clapping and smiling for me, tapi dalam hati - NO, she didn't carut. I KNOW she was extremely happy for me, and I'm very touched. Tapi, like she once said dalam her blog about me - I know she showed no signs of sentap, upset or nak menangis DQ or what not. But deep down, lets face it. Dia pun manusia. Dia ada expectations sendiri yang dipendam dalam hati - and given that chance dalam top 10, she was happy. But honestly, dalam hati dia, jauh dalam lubuk hati dia, kita tahu apa dia rasa? Diberi peluang and to have it hilang in split seconds, dah tak dapat continue the fight in the final 3, I KNOW how she feels - and I KNOW it sebab I've been there. But she, like me, in IQP - didn't show off perasaan hampa dan kecewa dia dan she was VERY supportive of me malam tu waktu I was called into the top 3. She was still smiling, and cheerful and what not - but like many times aku cakap kat ko G, aku bukan la bengap tak leh detect apa yang ko tgh rasa. You said so yourself, among your friends, KBs and what not - aku jer yang SELALU dapat detect what you're feeling and going through, and you can NEVER lie to me sebab aku selalu leh detect. And I DID malam tu. Tapi, tah la... G, sabar la gal. Your luck tak shine on you malam tu... and I understand... dan SEBAB tu, mek terus said to myself - I GOTTA do this right. Not just for the sake of my friends and myself, tapi bagi G yang banyak sokong, bagi dorongan kat aku. Aku tannak kena peligan dengan dia for doing silly things during top 3!
So what happened during top 3? Each of the final 3 akan diajukan one same question, and all 3 finalists kena jawab secara bertulis! Memula tulis jawapan, and then, with the MC sebagai saksi nih, kite kena baca balik ape yang kite tulis tu. So since MC dok ada sebelah dan perhatikan kite, contestants dinch bols menipu! Like, tulis lain, bacanye lain. ADDINCH! Tak leh! Mo ah moooo ahhh!!!! Hiks!
The question was actually, again, like I pernah practiced with G, Volks and some other friends (see, its good when we practice a lot - tgk² keluar soalan tu. TAPI practice time, bercakap - BUKAN BERTULIS CAM INIEY! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!) Hahahah mati la...
"Apakah kualiti yang anda ada utk memenangi Miss World pada malam ini" like, whats that one quality that u have that would make u the new Miss World la kirenye - sooomething like that lah kan...
Mrasalah sesudah jer MC baca soalan tu, mek dok kire nak jawab jer dah sebab mek tak pasti brapa lama diaorang kasik utk jawap soalan itiew. Alih², mek pegang pensil tu nak tulis jer... MC cakap "A a a a!!! Jgn jawab/ mula menulis lagi..." AIYOH! Mek melu! Mek pusing tgk Spain and Philippines, they were like, masih dok berdiri elok jer... motif mek kelam kabut!? Pastu mek nampak judges, ade sorang tu macam, menulis something. Mek mula dah nak speku - ADAKAH dia nak tolak marks sebab mek nak jawab sebelum masa bermula? Hey... mek pegang pensil itiew sajork! Tak sempat menulis lagik ok. Hiks! Mek dosi cuak! And mula dah nak hilang idea nak jawab apa. DAMNIT! Cemana nih! And at that moment, mek nengok G - giving me that smile and buat sign lingo cam, RELAX, and U CAN DO IT cam tu. So terus again, mek ingat apa dia selalu dok citer kat mek, bile dia up on stage - NOTHING EXISTS. YOU, YOU and YOU. Kan? So mrasalah ME ME ME and ME, HERE HERE HERE and HERE only, ek? Hiks! Mek dah tak pedulik dah ape yang nak berlaku, dan as soon as MC cakap, anda boleh mula menjawab, se - ka - rang! TERUS nih mek menulis bagai nak rak - Siap Joe KK jerit "Venezuela jgn tulis 8000 words macam kat blog pulak!" hahahah that gave me a brief moment to smile and relaxed a bit. Eh, wait, dia cakap tu BEFORE mek start menjawab. Sort of like, kasik aku relaxed a bit. Tapi once mek dah start menulis/ menjawab, mek dah tak dgr apa apa dah, mek dah tak pedulik apa apa dah - yang mek tahu, mek nak habiskan points mek nih...
Tulis pi tulis mai - haiyoyoyoh!!! APA YANG MEK TULIS NIH!? No, I mean, bukan I had no points - for goodness sake mek ade points for this one - cuma, mek TAK GHERTI BACA apa yang mek tulis. Sebab tu kalau ade sape² prasan, mek was the 1st contestant yang STOPPED writing, sebab mek sebok cuba baca balik slowly dalam hati - apa iniey!? And FINALLY waktu MC cakap times up, mek managed to regain my confidence, sebab mek dah figured out apa ke bende yang mek tulis tu. Sebenarnye mek nak tergelak time tu tapi, biasa lah - sat gi org kata mek sewel lak tgk kertas sendiri and gelak. HAHAHAHAHA...Mek nak tergelak bukannye ape noq - punye la KALUT nak tulis, sampai tatau tulis apa... bole?
But roughly, my answer was... "The one quality that I have that would make me tonight's winner, is the compassion for the underprivileged people, to let the world hear them, help them and... that is the one quality that would definitely make me tonight's new Miss World..." something like that la. SPAIN gave a very good answer mek rase compared to mine, I think la waktu tu. But the real surprise was Philippines - jawapan panjang berjela, points dia something about being WARM. Clust! The new Miss World is WARM katanya. Habis kami nih COLD la? HAHAHAHA Tapi apa apa pon mek rase, SPAIN and PHILIPPINES gave good answers. Mek? Well - lets just say, mek berpuas hati dengan my own answer - but I think if it was a verbal final q/a round, I would do better kot. I think. Hehehehehe...

Tudiah! Mrasalah semua pakat dok pulun tulis - Daaaaaahh seghupa WAITRESS dah mek nengok! Mrasalah ini lah namanya, contest mencari waitress berkaliber ye ke dok? HAHAHAHA just kidding. I would prefer if diaorang sediakan meja, and kami ended up bertonggeng tertonggeng bagai menulis kat meja tu. Baru confident siket. Tapi, erm, dahhh macam nak mengudi pulak, ye ke dok? HAHAHAHAHA!

Tu mek tgh tulis ke, or tgh try baca balik apa aku tulis tu? Hahahah yang penting, subang mek ngan subang judge yang berbaju hijau nih, ala ala SAMA ok! Hahahah

Ha - with the MC dok sebelah, mana ade chance nak jawab lain dari yang aku tulis, kan? MRASALAH dinch bols jadik finalish penipu, kan? OPPS!
And then, pose pose catwalk² bagai, and turun balik stage ikut tangga depan, lalu depan judges - and then, standby kat backstage. Kejap jer - tak lama pun. Tapi sempat la bergambar ngan Ginger jap. Bole? HEHEHEHE - and then Kak Vee tolong² touch up bagai, and then, JENGJEJENG! ZA MOMENTZ OF TRUTZ!!! Mati la mek!
As Philippines went up, mek nampak Spain masih ditouch up mak hayamnye, si Kak Azie itiew. Dan since diaorang dah suruh mek naik stage - mek pon naik lah sebelum Spain. Walhal kalau nak ikutkan urutan panggilan masuk ke top 3, patutnye, mek paling kanan, Spain tengah and Philippines dok kiri sekali. Ini idak - it was like, MEK dah dok centre. And diapit Philippines on my right, and Spain on my left. As we were holding hands, as the ratu jemputan, Kak Mimi if I'm not mistaken, parade, catwalk melalui crowd, naik ke pentas, dengan crown Miss World 1990something I tak dgr sangat, nak crownkan the new Miss World 2006 - otak mek berjalan dan terpikir something. THIS was like in 2003 - Miss Universe Transgender... I was in the middle, Pasha Miss Argentina was on my right - Sasha Miss India was on my left. And, THE MINUTE the MC sebut Miss SPAIN as 2nd Runner-up, mek dah terkejut, sebab mek cakap dalam hati - mek dapat nombor 3 pun TAK PER!!! Its ok! Mek terima! Alih² Satine Miss Spain got 2nd Runner-up. Tinggalnya Bonnie Miss Philippines, and mek Miss Venezuela - mek teringat pasal Miss Universe 2003 tu again. Tak tahu kenape, although mek cakap, now, mek dapat 1st Runner-up and Bonnie menang pun tak per, somehow, mek tak mo menipu, a pinch of me macam, perlu ke jadik cam Miss Universe 2003 tu, Sasha menang and me, Miss Mexico won 1st Runner-up? Kan? Like, can I like, win? Nak jugak menang nih - TAPI, kalau tak menang, mek tak kisah u ols! Its not like mek nak jump off the stage and lari nangis² bagai pon - mek dah made it that far pun macam, THANK GOD!
And then, as if my wish was answered that very instant - nak mrasa sangat, kan? Nak sangat duduk tgh, again, kan!? Ha - hamek! Bonnie was at that moment announced as the 1st Runner-up, and leaving me, Miss Venezuela, as the new Miss World 2006! Aiyoh! I could just SCREAM! I can hear the crowd did! I can see G clapping in joy! I could see my make up artist, Kak Vee, and Abang Volks - smiling and clapping in relief, and I was like, OWH MY GOD! SERIOUS!?!?!?!? Is this happening, again!? LIKE, OWH MY GOD! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I did it! I did it!
And waktu tu, it was like, seriously, I cannot believe it I won. I was like, no shit!? HAIYOH! Bahagian depan stage dah dipenuhi dengan crowd,with cameras and what not - spotlight, camera flash, the heat - the excitement! OWH MY GOD! As I walked forward towards the centre stage - I was like NEARLY, NEARLY yer, cried! This is it! I actually won! This is definitely, something, very surprising! I didn't expect this ok! Like I said, the 1st two main purpose of entering the pageant, dah mek kecapi. The 3rd nih, kalau menang apa apa - its a bonus. Winning Miss Body Beautiful was certainly a bonus - THIS ONE!? It's one hell of a bonus that I could never, didn't expect, AT ALL!

Waiting for that "ONE MOMENT IN TIME"/ "A MOMENT LIKE THIS" katanya, yer? Hiks!...

Miss Spain, as she was announced 2nd runner-up to the title...

"If for any reasons, the new Miss World 2006 cannot complete her reign and duty, then, the 1st runner-up will resume her place and takes the title of Miss World 2006" - kaaatanya, yer? Hehehehe. I don't know about Miss Philippines, tapi mek time tu SANGAT CUAK! Hiks!

Drama, dari cinta pun tercipta, penuh, huraian aneka warna... la la la" Bole? Hahahah mek dah nak nangis dah tu as I REALLY cannot believe it, I WON!?! All the hard work of diet, gym (walhal ade lagik 8 hari hutang tak habis pi gym tu! HAHAHA), ikat perut, diet pills 4 jenis, insomnia, buat bendera tangan, promo HERE HERE and HERE, and all - membuahkan hasil terakhir yang akan mek ingat sampai bila²! LOOK ME! ME WON! ME WORLD NOW! Kan!? Hahahaha - sial tak caption!?

Mr. Mazlan Juju, menyarungkan sash MISS WORLD 2006 kat mek - haiyoyoyoh!!!!

JANJI, mek can say - MEK DOSI MRASA CROWN ITIEW!!!

Sampai now, mek tertanya²... mek hugged/ kissed Miss World/ Kak Mimi itiew dak? Mek ingat SPAIN and PHILIPPINES mek sempat peluk cium bagai - tapi itu Miss World Kak Mimi itiew? Haiyoh - tak kan mek lupo kot? Kalau yer, and kalau Kak Mimi baca blog nih - SORRY SANGAT². Memang tak sengaja, tgh OVER EXCITED, SHOCKED and still tak percaya atas kemenangan itiew sampai terlupa nak hug and kiss u ols. Tapi kalau i did, eheheh, sila abaikan dan mek ucapkan THANKS sebab sudi crownkan pemenang malam tu - tak pa. Kite tunggu DVD. Mati la mek!

"KO NAK MAK PELIGAN KO!? OPPS!" Hahahahaha sial sangat! Mek baru nak feel² - Miss Congeniality hapo ko nih ha!? HAhahahaha... sial tak? Hahaha no, not me, HER lah - hahahah tetap nih!

THE DAY OF ALL DAYS SINCE CALENDER WAS INVENTED - hiks! Sambungan
24th November, 2006:
So by 6.30pm, where were Miss India and Miss Venezuela? Masih dalam bilik hotel Federal yer. Belom siap² lagi katanya. I'd say we were like, what, 90% siap? Cuma nak siapkan rambut la itu ini, packing bende² yang nak dibawak turun semua - tannak ade yang tertinggal itu ini la kan. So after dah plup plap plup plap siap siapan semua dos, mrasalah Miss India and Miss Venezuela turun dari bilik hotel, masuk lift (mujur ade lift yang dekat ngan bilik kami, and terus sampai ke lobby, entrance ke hotel itiew, kan?) and then terus keluar ke hotel Royale Bintang itiew (ikut pintu depan nih, takmo kalah iniey!) - Eh wait, dari semalam mek dok sebut Royale Royale tu, mek silaps lah. I think it's Royal Bintang, kan? Maaati la salah eja nama hotel. Hotel Royale tu, kat Jalan Putra, atas Kenny Rogers, kat LOQ STAQ, kan!? Hahahahaha...
So kami turun dari bilik tadik tu pun dosi pukui brapa dah - 6.40pm cam tu kot. So sesampainya kat changing room, mrasa - saparti yang kami jangkakan... tak der maknenye semua contestants dah sampai. Ade yang belom nampak vayangans pong ade ok. No need la mek mention Miss mana ade Miss mana tak der kan - tahu tahu sendiri kami dah la. Yang dok ada tu, ada yang dosi siap sepenuhnya, tunggu timing nak naik atas stage dan catwalk jer. Ade yang tgh dok bersiap. Tapi tak der lah yang sampai² tu langsung tak siap make up belom siap itu ini A to Z bagai, kan? Hiks! As for mek dan Ginger, dua dua sampai ke backstage tu dalam keadaan 70% siap. Like mek, I was like burung kasawari spastic retarded katanya yer, ala ala pakai kot belah ataih tu siap segals dengan buls buls shimmer make up bagai semua nih - mai tang bawah, skirt jeans. APA KES? *Yer Mark, mek nampak hang jelingan memanja dengan skirt itiew. Familiar kah? Bukan ko punye kan? Mek punye kan? OPPS! And si Ginger piuler ala ala Minachi Colors of Spicy Rangoli (Rangoli, spicy ke masalahnye? HAHAHA!) in the making katanya, make up dah very der Indian sekals - and pakaian sari hampir complete except accessories bagai tu la kan, alih² ade selendang hitam ala ala macam selendang Terengganu gittiew, feels² wanita ley ko nak cover² badan bagai? Chit! Hiks! Apa apa pon, time² tu la semua nak get things ready bagai semua.

Tu awat pulak dah tu Miss India oi? Tatau nak gantung sash tang mana ka? Kot ya pun, buang la dulu pashmina Terengganu hang tu. HAHAHAH! Siut jer, Pashmina Terengganu ley? LALALALA!
And then there's Noryady in the scene la kan... org suruh dia mai at 6.30pm++. Tapi dia mai at 6pm dah terpacak kat lobby hotel - or was it 5.30pm tatau? Mek rase 5.30pm kot - she was excited nih, I can tell. By the time kami dok sebok² siap siapan bagai, dia pon sebok ok. Maklum lah, dia dah jadik event manager utk Miss India dan Miss Venezuela - pegang tiket² meja 18, beserta dengan bendera² tangan yang telah disediakan itiew yer, dan sebok menelephone sana sini tanya mana depa yang lenglain itiew. Hiks! Kecoh tau, mek sker! Dan kat changing room tu jugak lah, 5thE dah pon ade terlebey awai pasai dia helped siapkan Miss Angola, kan? Mrasalah sayangnye 5thE had to leave before the pageant sebab ala ala dia ade malam pembukaan Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu The Musical itiew, kan? Aiyoyoh - tak per noq. Nory ado kan malam tu, kasik live report, kan? 3G dak? Opps!
Kat dalam changing room - suasa makin kecoh. Most of the contestants dosi kesampaian, dengan mak² hayam memasing la kan. Tak cukup ngan itiew, yang supporters pon, and tak der kaitan pun, ramai gak menerjah masuk changing room itiew. Hiks! Mek pon sempat jumpa kengkawan mek, tapi mek rela pi keluar dari changing room, tarik depa keluaq, sebelum kena caruts dengan organizer. Kan dalam changing room tu suppose make up artists, pembantu bagai dan contestants, sajork, kan? Ini yang tak der kena mengena pun masuk - patut lah superpack changing room tu - dengan panasnya lagik. Haiyoyoh...
Dah tu, Volks suruh mek terus pakai cancan gown kembang mek itiew. Mrasalah bila dah pakai, siap elok² bagai, taburi glitters and prada silver glitter dust bagai, mek tak leh nak BUAS! Mek macam dinch boleh buas sangat sebab mek tetiber jadik macam, besar - mengganggu ketenteraman awam. Hahahaha! Yang pentingnya, takut, sebab kain cancan mek tu ala ala net, takut terkoyak pijak bagai. Dinch lah, mek bukan takut contestants sabo (Miss Seychelles, harap u ols tak ingat mek dan Isis Miss UK was talking about you tau - dia suruh mek jaga² kain sendiri takut ade org pijak - time² tu pulak u ols lalu - sorry kalau u ols trasa. Kami bukan carut u ols tau Miss Seychelles) - masalahnye, TIDAK PERLU TUNGGU CONTESTANTS sabo lah! Mek sendiri sabo kain mek itiew, boleh? Yer lah - dok dalam Volks cakap "DUDUK DIAM DIAM" - knowing me, MANA GHERTI!? Dok pi sana pi sini, zrraappp terpijak sini sana situ sinun - kat bawah tu dosi kekoyakkan bagai. Tapi lite² la, unnoticable la kirenye. Tapi yang lawak nye waktu tu, HAHAHAH - time² la mek nak terkucil! Hanjeng sangat kan! Mrasalah MEK TAHAN kencing mek tu! Muahahah dah la kepit mampan 150% menjadikkan ciknek jadik p*ki setempek berjaya, tak kuasa lah nak berrisiko nak pi kencing. Mrasa tahan! Katanya mek kat diri mek sendiri. So LAGI la mek buas - sebab dok menahan nak kencing, kan? Muahahahah!
Crowd semakin ramai datang - asalnya at 6.30pm dalam invitation card tu katanya majlis nak bermula - heheh ado? Dinch la u ols - it started quite lewat also. Mrasalah mek macam Burung Kasawari retarded sunggoh, walaupun dah 100% siap. Yer lah, dengan rimasnye, panas lite², tahan dok nak terkucil, haiyoh! Dugaan. Tapi time² yang ado, dipraktikkan dengan sebaik mungkin lepas a short briefing to the contestants by Kak Iterk ngan Kak Danisha yang co-organize this event as well itiew. Mrasalah mek jerit "Goodluck all - ok! LETS! Plastickan diri!" Tapi motif mek sorang je gelak time tu, and no one else gelak also? Mrasalah mek buat lawak tapi mek sorang jer paham. Muahahaha gile lah. Maksud mek get plastic tu, beramah mesra bagai la kan. Mananye dengan nak vote/ pilih Miss Congeniality nye lagi, dengan nak bersnappy² lagi - ha - time tu la nak buat semuanya itiew. Suke la jugak bersembang sana sinik, berphoto sana nih - at least, killed the time yang ado tu kan. Dengan smokingnye lagi - aiyoh. Mek terpaksa be extra 101% carefull ok - wearing that kain tu, kalau kena api rokok Sampoerna A mek nih, mrasalah berLOBANG ok! Hahahaha!

Erm, for me, gedebas dan gedikbas, YES - tapi - confident, ala ala kureng. Why? Sebab dilitupi dengan perasaan gementars sundel! Serious. Mek cakap kat KB mek itiew, dia cakap merepek. Habis, explain why mek menggeletar during introduction round??? Bukan setakat kaki yer - bahkan, muka mek - kat pipi mek, katanya kawan² mek, macam, menggeletar semacam sajork. I wonder how did I sound like waktu intro round tu, kan? Hahahaha - yang bab kaki tu, mujurlah ade kain cancan gegebuan kembangs itiew, mampu coverinas. Hiks! Mrasalah Imah ko tambah tips COVER kaki menggeletar - PAKAI CANCAN besau! HAHAHAHAHA!

Mek nak mengulas tentang introduction contestant² lain, mek tak brani. Sebab mek belom nengok dan waktu depa dok intro atas stage, mek kat backstage kat kitchen alley tu, sebok isap rokok dan tak dgr ape, plus I was busy hafalling my own lines. Mrasalah yang mek dgr, "NAMASHKAAA INDIAAA" - tu diah! Time tu mek dgr crowd jerit bagai nak rak - mek dah macam, THAT'S IT! Haves lah dia dah menang hati penonton, kan? Hehehehe. Then Ginger lalu depan mek kat belakang stage tu and cakap good luck kat mek - and time tu la mek ckp kat dia mek takut, dia cakap merepek jer mek nih. Hahahah terus dia lari. No lah, bukan lari dari mek peligan dia! Lari nak pi salin ke evening dress la tu. See - nih la dia, padah jadik contestant last². Org lain sebok nak pakai evening dress bagai, mek masih dok nak parade national costume - apa kes? Hahahaha...
- 1st Round: Parade of Nations - keluar beramai² dari arah crowd, naik ke pentas
- 2nd Round: Parade of Nations - 2 by 2 keluar dari backstage naik ke stage - and buat introduction speech tu (speech ke? Hiks!)
- 3rd Round: Evening Dress round: - keluar again, 2 by 2, cuma tanpa the introduction speech of course
- 4th Round: Evening Dress, Finale round - keluar again macam 1st round itiew, melalui crowd dan menuju ke puncak, eh, I mean, pentas! Hiks!

Kerang ado, siput ado, bikini 2 piece itiew ado, sari dwi colour ado, dress berkain guni putih berguni² ado, glittering bunny ado, dawai² glitters ado, bebulu bagai semua pon ado - haiyoh! Imagine kalau originally 30 contestants - sure lebih sarat stage tu. Tu dok ade 22 pon, mek dah terperonyot kat belakang, disebalik bebulu bagai semua, kan? Heheheheh. Yang pentingnya, selain dari the audience had fun tgk pelbagai jenis ragam dan gaya contestants in the intro round, ade yang lawak, ade yang so so, ade yang gerand - yang pentingnya, contestants tu, semua kena enjoy. Yang mek tahu, mek enjoyed! U ols u ols yang lenglain, bagimanakah piuler??? :D

Farah Begum - MC berkaliber pada malam keramat itiew! Gerand stylo mak hayam kan? Ala ala boots berplatform tinggi yaamats - katanya disponsor oleh someone dari negara Philippines... ek? Mrasa - MABUHAIII!!! Hiks!


TOP: Miss Uruguay, yang mek ala² cam kesian pulak la tgk dia in that national costume. Macam terseksa jer jiwa raga dia... BOTTOM: Miss Bolivia, also mengamalkan konsep bebulus kavali bagai, ke? :D


TOP: Miss India, during her introduction round, yang telah memikat hati crowd. Intro lines dia mek tak brapa ingat la, biarpun dah berdoyon kali mek suruh dia cakap kat depan mek. Tapi yang mek ingat, "NAMASHKAAAA INDIA!!!" Ha time tu, mek yang dok belakang stage tu pon, menyirap bolo roma. Korang kat dalam stage, ADO? Heheheh.. BOTTOM: Miss Costa Rica, anak hayam Fiebs dan Joe KK. Class, ala ala glittering greenish bunny ek? :D Jojo memang cantik malam itiew, "NOTICABLE" la kirenye - tercapat hasrat dan matlamat Fiebs nak make Jojo noticable dimata crowd dan judges... :D

Habis jer mek berintro bagai, catwalk seround lagik, baru turun stage - and terus, lari ke changing room bersama Kak Vee. Abang Volks dosi ketungguan kami dalam changing room tu nak salin ke evening dress mek. Oleh kerana ramai sangat dalam changing room itiew, mrasalah kami lari ke bilik meeting yang tak digunakan kat sebelah itiew utk more space. Waktu masuk situ, Miss Philippines and Miss Panama dosi ado dah kat sitiew katanya tgh get ready dah utk evening dress depa - dah hampir siap dah pon. Mek waktu tu baru la sebok nak bukak itu ini bogel bagal (tak der lah sampai tanggalkan kepit/ panties, kan? - isk!) and then, Zam, Miss Wilayah 2006 datang utk bantu Kak Vee, and Abang Volks. Zam was kind enuff to kipas kipaskan mek dengan kipas tangan Kak Vee tu - mek kepanasan sundel! Mrasalah lega gile when I got out of the national costume tu and nak change ke evening dress tu. Tapi sebelum pakai the dress, Kak Vee buatkan my hair dulu. For nationals, kitaorang played concept sanggul bun ala ala Ziana punye concept ade tocang lilit kat depan itiew (which apparently buat mek cuak dah sebab Miss China was ALSO having the same hairdo. Mati la mek! HEHEHE) and then for evening dress, kitaorang buang tocang dendan itiew, and then mentenkan the bun, and tambah extension kat belakang. It's actually full wig pun, tapi saje jadikkan extension kat belakang. Mrasalah mek sker u ols - feel² Siti! HAHAHAHAHA... Habis buat rambut, BARU lah pakai choker, and accessories lain bagai, AND THEN baru pakai skirt evening dress mek tu, then lastly, baru la proses pakai corset mek itiew. Mati lah abang Volks tarik bagai nak gila corset tu sebab mek suruh la kan - untuk nampakkan figuah yang nan ado nih. Opps! And then, Kak Vee touch upkan my face - and Zam? Yer - sprayed glitters kat satu badan nih... siap kaki kaki pon dia spray jugak. And then, tak cukup ngan itiew, diameknye hair spray yang ala ala melekit lite² tu, sprayed kat dress lite², then, taburkan dengan prada silver glitters itiew - habis satu baju, badan, liplapliplap dengan glitters silver. Mujur muka dan rambut jer tak buat - sebab tannak nampak too messy, kan? The same thing Kak Vee buat kat mek sebelum mek kuar national costume round 2 itiew - that's why waktu mek libas kain cancan mek atas stage, kuar glitters silver bagai tu, kan? Ala ala - TADA! Magic! HEHEHEHEH!
By the time habis pakai heels (owh, mek last minute tukar pakai silver heels Miss India yang masuk / match well dengan evening dress mek - Thanks gal!), mek dosi kedengaran Kak Danisha terjerit² suruh gi backstage - and waktu tu, THAILAND punye turn. Motif!? Cepatnye!?!?!? Dahhhhh mek pon terkejar² lari. Sebab lepas Thailand, then UK, and then terus mek dan Uruguay kena naik stage la kan. Mrasalah by the time sampai kat stage tu mek kempot lite²...
Earlier waktu national costume, mek terEXTRA GEDIK, kan? Mrasalah mek feels² nak jadik lite² primadonna Latino Flamingo Dancer, kan? Tu yang gedik tu. Zam, waktu dok spray glitters tu, bisik² soksek² pesan suruh mek tuned down siket mood dan stylo mek during evening dress - play class, play sweet, play nice - dinch gedik² katanya. Mrasalah mek mempraktikkannye - sebab memang mek plan nak ubah mood/ feels pon by the time mek kuar evening dress. Good thing Zam peringatkan mek - or else, kot buat nye mek lupa? Hahahaha kan? Mrasalah miss paling gedik dapat kat mak! HAHAHAHA...
SO, lepas habis UK and Thailand catwalk, kiteorang, Uruguay and mek, naik la stage. Mek rase tak der sape² prasan - tapi sebenarnye, mek nearly terjatuh waktu naik jer stage, dan nak pose, tetiber mek ala ala terhoyong hayang kejap - mengah la tu! HAHAHAHA! Tapi mujur mek cover cepat - tapi tak tau la kot² ade sapa² terpandang, sebab waktu tu Miss UK bebetul depan mek - so hopefully dalam DVD nanti dapat dicover. Thanks UK cover mek - walaupun secara tak sengaja la kan. Hiks!


TOP: Miss India - selak jgn tak selak evening dress tu! Hehehe. Tapi actually, sape² pun yang tak tahu original plan Miss India, maybe ade hati nak carut, "Motif evening dress tu straight cut 32-32-32???" Ha - ade citernye. Asalnya, ade corset/ bengkung perut warna hijau pucuk pisang, yang patutnye go on top of the skirt and the corset yang off-white itiew. And on top of the bengkung perut/ corset tu, ade ribbon warna off white lagik atasnya, make it one hell of a beautiful evening dress, and yes, with cutting. Tapi cemana tah - nasib tak menyebelahi nya also, kaedahnye corset tu, zip rosak kat backstage/ changing room. Tu yang dia naik stage tanpa corset/ bengkung perut tu. Or else, explain why on earth dia pakai green heels with off-white evening dress? Dia belom buto warna lah. So sape² tak tau citer, dah carut bagai, now mek dah citer dah nih, mrasa mintak maaf lekaih! Hiks! But honestly, Miss India managed to pull off that dress splendidly, biarpun tanpa corset/ bengkung perut tu u ols! Seriously, mek tgk gambar pon, posing ko, mampu buatkan badan ko nampak curving bagai. So persetankan sapa² dok carut bagai tu - mek tahu A to Z, dan mek tahu what ko lalui utk sampai ke malam tu, so, relax la ek gal. Don't be too hard on yourself. TU DIAH! Caption utk LEFT pic sajork dah banyak nih, tu belom caption utk RIGHT pic lagi ek? Mati la mek! HAHAHA... BOTTOM: Miss Venezuela tgh "TEPOK AMAI², BELALANG KUPU², TEPOK BAGI PANDAI, NAK UPAH MINUM SUSU..." giittiew... hiks! Miss Venezuela, dalam her Evening Dress, rekaan, design sendiri, sponsored by Mak Hayam Belle (lace hitam yang terdapat kat dress tu) dan also Romzy Studios (the rest of the materials and beadings and diamonte bagai semua itiew) - Thanks! MEK SKER la dress lakaran mek menjadi kenyataan... (Ceh, macam la as if it's the first time, kan? Muahahah!)
Habis jer mek ngan Uruguay catwalk, turun balik stage - dan terus standby backstage kat kitchen alley, entrace staff masuk ke ballroom, utk kuar Round 4 - Finale Evening Dress beramai² like Round 1 itiew, yang masuk ikut crowd tu. Sker lah! And then naik stage, pose pose kejap, pastu, semua turun balik. If sape yang pergi, or tgk melalu gegambars nih, noticed tak mek selalu kalau kuar group all 22 contestants, mek selalu kat belakang². I know for some contestants, yang bebetul in it for the competition sake, mesti dinch suka, sebab possibilities of judges tak nampak kite tu very high. Yer lah, terselindung bagai, kan? Tapi mek, mek sker! Sebab mek dapat lindung dari cahaya spotlight putih yang kuat dan terang yaamats - dari national costume round 1 lagi mek dah adjust myself utk berdiri belakang another contestant depan mek sebab leh cover dari lampu hazab yaamats nye terang tu, kan? Hehehehe...

Semua pakat dok nak libas kain, selak kain bagai, kan? Hahah mrasalah - malam keramat u ols. Dah alang² atas stage, kan? Make full use aje la kan... :)

By the time habis pakai heels (owh, mek last minute tukar pakai silver heels Miss India yang masuk / match well dengan evening dress mek - Thanks gal!), mek dosi kedengaran Kak Danisha terjerit² suruh gi backstage - and waktu tu, THAILAND punye turn.

Asalnya, ade corset/ bengkung perut warna hijau pucuk pisang, yang patutnye go on top of the skirt and the corset yang off-white itiew. And on top of the bengkung perut/ corset tu, ade ribbon warna off white lagik atasnya, make it one hell of a beautiful evening dress, and yes, with cutting. Tapi cemana tah - nasib tak menyebelahi nya also, kaedahnye corset tu, zip rosak kat backstage/ changing room. Tu yang dia naik stage tanpa corset/ bengkung perut tu. Or else, explain why on earth dia pakai green heels with off-white evening dress? Dia belom buto warna lah. So sape² tak tau citer, dah carut bagai, now mek dah citer dah nih, mrasa mintak maaf lekaih! Hiks! But honestly, Miss India managed to pull off that dress splendidly, biarpun tanpa corset/ bengkung perut tu u ols! Seriously, mek tgk gambar pon, posing ko, mampu buatkan badan ko nampak curving bagai. So persetankan sapa² dok carut bagai tu - mek tahu A to Z, dan mek tahu what ko lalui utk sampai ke malam tu, so, relax la ek gal. Don't be too hard on yourself. TU DIAH! Caption utk LEFT pic sajork dah banyak nih, tu belom caption utk RIGHT pic lagi ek? Mati la mek! HAHAHA... BOTTOM: Miss Venezuela tgh "TEPOK AMAI², BELALANG KUPU², TEPOK BAGI PANDAI, NAK UPAH MINUM SUSU..." giittiew... hiks! Miss Venezuela, dalam her Evening Dress, rekaan, design sendiri, sponsored by Mak Hayam Belle (lace hitam yang terdapat kat dress tu) dan also Romzy Studios (the rest of the materials and beadings and diamonte bagai semua itiew) - Thanks! MEK SKER la dress lakaran mek menjadi kenyataan... (Ceh, macam la as if it's the first time, kan? Muahahah!)
Habis jer mek ngan Uruguay catwalk, turun balik stage - dan terus standby backstage kat kitchen alley, entrace staff masuk ke ballroom, utk kuar Round 4 - Finale Evening Dress beramai² like Round 1 itiew, yang masuk ikut crowd tu. Sker lah! And then naik stage, pose pose kejap, pastu, semua turun balik. If sape yang pergi, or tgk melalu gegambars nih, noticed tak mek selalu kalau kuar group all 22 contestants, mek selalu kat belakang². I know for some contestants, yang bebetul in it for the competition sake, mesti dinch suka, sebab possibilities of judges tak nampak kite tu very high. Yer lah, terselindung bagai, kan? Tapi mek, mek sker! Sebab mek dapat lindung dari cahaya spotlight putih yang kuat dan terang yaamats - dari national costume round 1 lagi mek dah adjust myself utk berdiri belakang another contestant depan mek sebab leh cover dari lampu hazab yaamats nye terang tu, kan? Hehehehe...

Semua pakat dok nak libas kain, selak kain bagai, kan? Hahah mrasalah - malam keramat u ols. Dah alang² atas stage, kan? Make full use aje la kan... :)

All 22 contestants in their evening dresses... mana Miss Venezuela tatau? Sembunyik lagik la tu! Hahahah!

After that kan u ols, semua kami pakat turun balik stage (dahhhh feels² macam NAIK TANGGA TURUN TANGGA, ek? Hahaha) dan pi standby backstage. Mrasalah nak touch up ke, smoking ke (thanks Ayang Karmella kerna sudi sponsor mek satu batang rokok Sampoerna A Hijau u ols itiew! Sker la sker!), ape ke - semua sempat. Sebab ade showtime atas stage tu, geng² mak iterk semua la kan. So mek buat apa tatau waktu tu? Yer - selain smoking, mek pi menyelinap ke tepi ballroom, ke arah meja cousin² mek, dan mek mintak cousin mek passkan air kat mek - dahaga sundel! Hahahaha sempat dia carut mek! Selayas sunggoh! Pastu, mek panggil si Maheera, yang satu table dengan cousin² mek - ha - mek tanya dia ok ke so far mek and what not, pastu mek mintak dia amekkan napkin kat table itiew. Motif? Hahahaha jgn tanya! Rahsia! *sambil cover peluh di keti dan di dahi kejendulan - hahahahah! Dan waktu nih la si Ursya a.k.a SHEE (kenalan rapats call her Sheepuks la kan... manja dah dengan nama itiew. Muieueieuieue) suruh mek bukak choker mek kat leher mek tu... "Bukak noq! Pakai jer subang panjang ko tu. Sarat sangat. Tak elok... haaa kan dah elok bukak choker tu..." Mek tak pasti pada mulanya adakah itu benar atau niat jahat? HAHAH Tak baik kan aku? Alih² mek tgk kat Miyami mek - ok gak? Baik sunggoh dia suruh mek bukak supaya tak nampak overdose. That's why kalau hampa pakat prasan, waktu evening dress round jer mek pakai choker tu. Naik jer lepas tu, sebelum announce subsidiary title, choker dosi nan ado. Hiks! Tu pun pada mulanya ramai cakap mek akan berchoker tiga tingkat lagi yer?!? Sapa tatau? Kalah dah betting tu, kan? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Mek berjaya prove the critics were wrong - mek MAMPU yer, brani kuar TANPA CHOKER diamonds 2 3 tengkat kesayangan mek itiew tau! HAHAHAHA!
Lepas tu, terus diaorang panggei kiteorang standby naik balik stage utk pengumumman pemenang Subsidiary Titles yang ado 7 awards all together itiew. Mrasalah ade something funny during this period. Semalam during rehearsals itiew, kiteorang practice la kan kalau² sapa² kena called menang subsidiary titles, nak buat apa, standby berdiri kat mana, and etc la kan. Ginger tau mek target nak menang Miss Congeniality (selain dari mek feels feels nak mrasa title Miss Photogedik, eh, Photogenic dan jugak Best Evening Dress). So bile during rehearsals, nama G dipanggei kedepan, dia buat buat muka dan lalu depan mek dan ejek ejek mek "Hu hu padan muka! Mek menang!" HAHAHA terus kami gelak macam kesial! Hahahahaha mek macam, ooooo tak per ko! Nanti. Malam esok mek yang buat kat hang balik. ALIH², tibe² malam tu itself, Ginger jugak yang menang Miss Congeniality. Of course dia tak buat la ejek² kat mek tu, kan? Tapi, dalam dok tepok tangan kat dia (DINCH SENTAP YER! Lite² jer. OPPS!), mek leh tergelak sengsorang atas stage kat belakang² tu. Like, lawak la, WHAT IF malam tu jugak, G buat ejek² kat mek macam time rehearsals tu? HARUS aku gelak guling² macam smiley YM tu, yang gelak guling² tu! HAHAHAHAHAAHAH! Whatever it is, tahni u ols!

SO habis dah subsidiary titles itiew, mrasalah semua balik ke position masing² dan get ready utk diannouncekan piuler, the top tenner seminfinalists... in random order katanya MC...

1. Miss Costa Rica - Jojo memang cantik malam tu, tak susah utk dia mara ke top 10. Dengan sentuhan pakaian malam Hatta Dolmat, make-up by Fahmi, and asuhan dan didikan Joe KK dan Fiebs, mrasalah no hal la si Jojo nak masuk ke top 10. Biarpun tersyillaps siket during introduction round tu, kan? Tapi, mek rase, sikit jer tu kurang markahnye. Tak der gangguan utknya masuk ke top 10. Mrasa! Tahni!!!

2. Miss Bolivia - Adinya, eh, ke kakaknye (avang? Mati la mek) kepada Miss Chi Chi, Miss IQP2006 winner itiew, kan? Hari tu time Chi Chi, Miss Greece IQP menang IQP2006, dia yang make up kan, kan? Muka dia, bila dah make up, haiyoh - lain sangat! Tapi mata kucing tu, mata tu! Classic sangat! *No, that's not plastic from me yer, THANK YOU! Hahaha

3. Miss Thailand - Auranya CUKUP kuat atas stage - pesona dia also very DER! Sunggoh janggal kalau dia tak dapat masuk top 10. Itu lah dia, EVA!

4. Miss Singapore - Cantik, tinggi lampai orgnya. Tapi mek tak kenai sangat! Mek sker lah konsep² mengetengahkan warna MERAH dari nationals sampai ke evening dress. Hiks! Hidup negara LKY dan Singa Muntah Air... :D

5. Miss India - Tu diah! Chek dah kata. Anak mami nih confirm lah ke top 10 dengan mudah! Syabbas noq, syabbaaas! *Ha, Imah, tu! Ginger letak tangan kat dada sambil mutekan suara tapi mulut terkumat kumit menggayakan THANK YOU THANK YOU tu? Ko tannak carut macam pantats sangats, kah? HEHEHEHEHE mati la mek - memula elok² lari dari kena peligan ngan Ginger, now, kena lari dari Imah also - mati la 2 lawan 1, mana achiii woiii! Hehehehe...

6. Miss Spain - Satine, ex Miss IQP2005. Yang ini memang mek budget will make it into the top 10. Confidencenye atas stage dah cukup utk make sure dia ade tempat utk ke top 10... See, sape cakap tak dapat menang apa apa subsidiary titles dinch bols ke top 10? Hiks!

7. Miss Seychelles - Aiyoyoyoyoh, another one, crowds favorite. Cantik sangat dahhh dia nih! Dahhh macam pompuan betolll! Tapi mek tak brapa stuju tang rambut dia ade choker itiew. Kalau tadak choker kat rambut tu pun mek rase mesti ok, kan? Tapi, dia memang sweet. Dari rehearsals, dah sweet macam pompuan betol in red t-shirt and red cap. Dah mek feels² tgk dia persis flight stewardess Air Asia, kan? Hiks! Tahniah also!

8. Miss South Africa - Nih pon sorang lagi yang dari awal memang mek dah leh budget akan dapat top 10. Sama featuresnya persis pompuan, Tomei bagi mek memang tak der masalah utk mara ke pusing semifinals top 10 inih. Dah la evening dress bahagian belakang tu macam, a killer giler² sexy, ini la yang mek namakan - SEXY BACK! Hiks!

9. Miss Philippines - The true, underdawg competitor in this contest. Unexpectedly secured herself dalam kelompok top 10, Bonnie tak sia²kan peluang yang ado depan mata dia. She made full good use of the opportunity given to her that night and mek proud la jugak dengan dia. Although I must say, the hair tu, kalau Kak Vee buat kat mek cam tu, mek nangis sundal! Hiks! Tapi yerlah, maybe mek tak suka, but maybe Bonnie suka - besides, rambut betul tu. Mampu ke mek!? Mati la botak dibawah snowcap - OPPS!

10. Miss Venezuela - Ok, mek very thankful mek dapat peluang masuk top 10. Sekurang²nya, mek just one step closer utk mencapat matlamat mek masuk bertanding Miss World malam tu. 1st, nak have fun. Terbukti nih mek dosi had fun, be it masuk ke idak top ten. Sebab I certainly enjoyed the limelight and attention during national costume round and evening dress round also. Mek girang. 2nd, mek nak tebus malu mek kat IQP2006 - so by getting into the top 10, cukup la. Mek dah boleh kecapi matlamat mek, iaitu, to do my best waktu jawab q/a session jap lagik tu. Selebihnya, what happens next, is a bonus... ;) Yang penting, mek suker lah! :D
Seriously, mek nak sambung lagi. Tapi memandangkan mata dah teramat berat yaamats, dan memandangkan jari jemari aku nih sampai dah nak naik kebas, DAN BEFORE MEK TERSELAYAS TERTEKAT BUTANG BACK TU, baik lah mek stop sini sajork dulu. Esok mek sambung, edit balik bagai dan republish entry nih. For now, cukup sampai ke top 10 semifinalists nih dulu yer. Esok mek sambung bab Q/A, then top 3, dan jugak finale. Pastu mek buat yang THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DAY; THE DAYS AFTER THE PAGEANT tu juger - heheh mrasa nah? Sorry ek, terpaksa stop sinik dulu. Esok mek sambung. Kalau tak edit kat entry nih, mek buat PART 3, nah? Thanks!
For now - enjoy la tgk pics² nih dulu. Nanti mek sambung citer nah?

The Road To Miss World 2006 Pageant (Part 1)
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!

Evening dress mek, technically tak der beza sangat pon dari my original sketch, kan? :D Mek sker lah konsep inieyyyy!!!!!

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!!!!

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 -
PART 1 - The Road To Miss World 2006 Pageant!
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...
Less Sleep + Less Eat = Lose Weight FASTER!!!
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!

Lakaran National Costume mek - as you can see nanti, ade some MINOR alterations and adjustments to the actual design, hehehehe... *YER Volks, YER! Those alterations and adjustments tak perlu dilakukann if ONLY I dgr cakap u dari awal, yer yer I get the point! HEHEHEHEHE... Thanks for the alterations nah! Hiks! Muahs!
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!

Evening dress mek, technically tak der beza sangat pon dari my original sketch, kan? :D Mek sker lah konsep inieyyyy!!!!!

Sila abaikan the white national costume - tu belom siap 100% lagi tu. Er, actually, dah siap. Cuma waktu mek snappy² pic nih, the national costume mek belom decided nak add-ons and buat alterations bagai lagik. 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.

Almari yang dikhaskan utk simpanan perkakasan memondankan diri malam tu - OPPS! Mati lah designated closet for drag props only! Hiks!

Closet utk simpanan bebarang gibek - oppssss lagik! Tapi motif tu atas safe-box tu ade loceng lelocengan gelang kaki Miss India? Hurmmmm....
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!

Tu diah! Anak hayam sapa tak pecah lobang tu sundel!? Mek nangis ok tgk dia dah woman sekals! Mek dosi ajak dia lesborinas dengan mek! HAHAHA!

Ish! Suka betul la mek ngan anak hayam Fiebs tu - tgk, dia pun mek tau suka kat mek, kan!? MATI LA MEK!
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!

Matilah "APAKAH KAITANNYE" Pembersih Peribadi Wanita dengan Silky Girl Ever Glossy Nail Color yer? HAHAHAH! Sial sangat sial!
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!!!!

One Moment In Time...
Each day I live
I want to be a day to give the best of me
I'm only one but not alone
My finest day is yet unknown
I broke my heart for every gain
To taste the sweet I face the pain
I rise and fall yet through it all this much remains
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that on moment of time
I will feel I will feel eternity
I've lived to be the very best
I want it all no time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance here in my hands
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that on moment of time
I will feel I will feel eternity
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that on moment of time
I will be I will be
I will be free....oh
I will be I will be free....
I want to be a day to give the best of me
I'm only one but not alone
My finest day is yet unknown

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heart beat away
