Made my very first appearance for Miss & Mister SE Asia Fitness 2012 on the 30th November 2012 at Nouvelle Hotel as Miss JCI Malaysia. Congratulations to all the contestants who have made it to the Final and of course, the winners of the night!
Let's do a little feedback here.
The event started at approximately 9pm when it is supposed to be 7pm, due to the late arrival of the judges and guests. Before the event started, when I was doing my make up, a make up artist shared that the contestants were late for their make up session. They make up crew arrived at 2pm, got ready to doll them up but they waited for 2 hours. Main reason is because of the rehearsal. Time Management is important, note that!
In the midst of self preparation while waiting for my turn for my hairdo, I, as a Personal Assistant of S2 Slimming was assigned to interview all the contestants regarding to what they have learned from Amber Chia, Stella Lim and Director Hor. It was like hide and seek, I was searching each and every one of them, total of 23 contestants, up and down, in and out and I'm glad I managed to hunt for a few. Grabbed them at a corner and there they go, share! My killing 5" inches heels were killing me as Nouvelle Hotel ballroom ain't that small. The boys were easy to find but the girls, Gosh! Where were all of you! I assume they were hiding themselves in the room to prepare for their speech, catwalk, and etc. You know, girls...
After some time, I gave up. Mr. Sunny interrupted me when I was happily knowing the guys while waiting for my turn to get my hair done. He spotted me because I'm tall and slim, he even begged me to be the girl who holds a tray and stand on stage, giving out trophies. My Goodness! Me!? Thank You but NO thank you. He even told me some secrets that he dare not share it out to the organizers. There you go, no secrets with me : "I want to prove that the girls I find are better than the contestants. Take a look at the previous beauty pageant I organized, they are so outstanding and gorgeous and most of all, TALL." He showed me a slideshow of his when he was telling me. Sorry boss, I have to be frank with you, these bunch of pretty girls who have the courage to enter Miss SE Asia Fitness are the ones that have supported you in a way. Without all these contestants, there will not be participants, without them, Miss & Mister SE Asia Fitness wouldn't have made it. Be grateful.
Back to the topic, as mentioned above, the event started 2 hours late and people were all hungry. 9pm, Finally! There's food and the show began with "Oppa Gangnam Style" dance. The dance move was okay. The only thing I don't understand is, WHAT THE HELL ARE THE DANCE INSTRUCTORS DOING ON STAGE WITH THE CONTESTANTS! It is not as if the contestants don't know the dance move but the stage is for them and it is an opening ceremony, let them shine!
Another problem is, there were many Beauty Queens wearing crown with beautiful dresses looking gorgeous. I'm actually one of them but I don't know anyone so I isolated myself and sat at my seat with SK Tan. The Beauty Queens were introduced up on stage and in my mind, Hey, why am I sitting here, aren't I supposed to go up as well? Since I'm not one of them, why would Madam Lim wants me to wear my crown? What was my role that night? Miss JCI Malaysia? As her grand niece? A helper? I don't know. All the question marks were spinning on top of my head. Anyways, I wouldn't want any of the fame. I prefer being an audience, sit back and enjoy the show. Then, I wonder, where were all the Beauty Queens seated. I was searching from the front left to right, right to left, I didn't spot any one of them. I didn't give up, was still searching, then... I turn my head back. Spotted them! They were seated at an isolated corner right behind of everyone. I have 2 words for them that starts with P, "pitiful" and "pathetic". They should be treated as VIPs and appreciated but why!? I just don't understand.. I thank God that my seat was nice, right in the middle of the stage.
The most memorable moment I remember was bikini wear. The girls are all dressed in exotic red bikini and the boys OMG! They look hot! But in a way, like a gigolo. Oops! Sorry to say that but it's true. I shall let the pictures to do the talking..
