back from miss malaysia tourism
Can’t believe the opportunity and experiencegiven to me by my agent to represent Malacca, my hometown, to Miss Malaysia Tourism Queen International pageant last week. Checked in Tanjung Bunga Beach Hotel in Penang on Monday, 22nd May 2006. Heart punding, unaware of what is installed for me, i made my way there.. and saw groups of girls representing states of Penang, Selangor, Wilayah and Johor.. All pretty, attractive, stunning, beautiful!! hosh, what a competition i will have, i thought in my mind. i stayed in the hotel for almost a week. at first i thought it would be ll fun, but i was wrong…!
1st day, met with my roommate, representative from Wilayah. i looked at the figure standing in front of me.. wow, body pun cantik, muka pub cantik.. duno how lar am i going to go through the pageant. i know well that there’s no way that i could win anything then.. throughout the first few days, all was stil QUITE fun.. we went visiting sponsors’ shops, all around Penang island.. and do a little photoshooting.. and as days go by, more and more and more photoshooting.. i was always in flat sandals if i am to walk much, but the whole week, sigh.. being around the bevy of beauty queens, i was required to use high heels and walk around almost the wholw day! gosh! and my heels were like almos 4inches high! now, thanx to them, i’m already immune in walking in heels!! and, 1 thing i can tell u, the effect is, until now, days after the pageant, i could still feel the numbness on my toes! once stepped outside the hotel, we’re required to SMILE!! (whether u like it or not, u have to! ) and even no phonecalls , no sms allowed.. well, if u think being a beauty queen is nice, think again!!
ok day by day, we’ve been doing visiting, training ourselves to walk in HIGH-heels, and SMILE !! on the final night, true enough i didn’t have a problem in smiling anymore.. ;p hehe.. and even not a poblem in catching balance while walkin in heels..! after the visiting, though tiring and worn out, all was worth it as we managed to grab lots of souveniers from our sponsors.. ;p hehe.. eye-shadow, pearl necklace, set of hair-care products.. wow!! but one thing i don like bout the experience is, sleepin at 3am in the mornin and gota wake up at 7am in the mornin!! my precious precious sleep!! until now, i could still feel the exhaustion in me..
though i didn’t win any titles that night, i was proud of myself for putting quite a good show during the final night on the 27th. and i’m proud that i’ve made improvements. in days to come, i’ll try even harder and make sure i won’t go home empty handed.
i’m not a beauty queen in the eyes of the people in public, but i’m still a beauty queen in the eyes of my family, and most important of all, in the eyes of my loved one
i’m proud of what i’ve achieved and the golden opportunity laid before me..
i’ll try again….
