Devious Concoctions.

Everything is just so frustratingly hard in life, it’s stupid. and sad. and crazily infuriating! Bleh

Heya! It’s been quite  a while and i still haven’t updated my blog on what happened on sat (2nd Sept). Okie, for those of y’all who came to support me (or watch the other girls, u know who i’m talking about!) thanks so much! I really appreciate the concern and effort that u guys had to take to come! *hugs*

Anyway, about the day… ooh yea, i woke up at 6.00am. It’s super early but actually i was suppose to be at Sunway Pyramid at 6 am! Yea, got a bit on the wrong side of Winnie… hehe, sorry…Anyway, we had to like practice our catwalk for like an hour and a half. I had the most difficult time. Y? Coz i never practiced that, thought i could aced it, only practice with my friend the day before! Luckily my mind wasn’t so into the fashion show.

After that, each and everyone of us took our turns to perform and use the stage, while being watched by the other girls. No secrets now actually, we gave each other honest feedback, just in time to change any last min screw-ups. So then it came to my turn. Uh oh…. actually i’ve been on stage, but never ALONE! so i got so nervous, even though it was like in front of 20 ppl or less that i kinda screwed up a few tricks. The girls notice it which made it even worse. So yea, after that, we trotted of back to our hotel rooms to rest and get ready. For the whole 5 hours b4 the show, i was rehearsing and well, thinking and adding and editing my patter. Last minute brain-rehearsing never works btw. U just end up being even more scared that u were. I pity my friend, Balqis, aka my manage (hehe…) coz she had to calm me down (it’s not easy, trust me) and talk me out of pulling out! I was that nervous! So anyway, i began to relax after i stop thinking about it. or tried to….

2.30pm : The show was about to start in 30mins more. Back stage, with my costume on (It’s so cute, it’s a halter tux, something like what Liza Minelle wore with tail coats! Got it from Costume Fiesta, Desa H’Mas) and make-up with makes me look all the more mysterious, i was more or less pacing up and down and talking to myself. 3pm it started! We have Ean from Hitz.fm as our MC and that guy can really hype up the crowd! Well, the first 5 girls went up; Yasmeen rapped, Aimee sang a malay song, Germaine sang Kelly Clarkson ‘A moment like this’, Sue Yenn sang Phantom of the opera and dance to ‘Fighter’ by Christina A. and Preeta did an Indian cultural cum modern dance. Sue Yenn totally rock! Her voice could reach those high notes without breaking and her dance routine was nailed solid! Back stage we were all screaming for her! It was that good! U’ve to see it to believe it! Anyway they had a short break before resuming the performance. Estee went up and sang to ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ rock version! Then it came to my turn!

I was seriously nervous, particularly coz 2 guys would be carrying my table and i’m a bit particular if anything goes out of place! But anyway, with my wide smile i went on. The nervousness kinda melted away when i got on and saw my family and my friends who were carrying huge banners with words like ‘we Love jennifer’ and stuff, that i knew if i do screw up i would still have my friends to scream for me!so i just went on as usual, remembering this time to speak clearly and not panic! I did the hand contorting trick and then went on to calling a volunteer. This lil cute girl was the first to come up! Went on with making a silk appear and disappear into her ear. Then it came to the linking rings. I was most comfortable with this trick coz i had used this for a good deal longer than the rest of the apparatus. Though i don’t know much fancy moves with it… It went fine, and then i called up another volunteer to ‘teach’ them how to link it. Made a bit of a comedy act and ended it with stealing her watch! I got the most claps for this! Then i brought out the a small bag and, since 2 days earlier we celebrated our 49th Independance Day, i did something with pulling out the M’sian flag from coloured silks. This was the most trickest to me coz i didn’t have a proper presentation patter for this, kinda changed it like 5 times… Anyway then came the disappearing bowl and concluded with a Snow Storm from China trick. Overall the feeling was good and i’m proud that i made it this far! Later the judges asked me a somewhat Ms World question; ‘who would you pick, out of these 10 girls to be the winner?’ Okie, i particularly didn’t get prepared so i went ahead and said myself! Yea, a bit harsh but yea, i think i worked harder than the others on my performance. Then later the fashion show and after the announcement of winners!

6pm : and the results is….. Ms.Fasio and Ms. Photogenic won by Anita, Ms Hitz won by Ezra, Ms Roxy by i-forgot-who, and Ms Confidence and the winner by Sue Yenn! I was a bit sad that i didn’t get anything, but i was happy for the winner! And well, even if i didn’t win anything, at least i was on stage as a magician. To me, that counted more than just winning! I remember someone saying, you may have lost the battle, but u haven’t lost the war. We’ll see what happens next… won’t we?

I finally checked out MTR! Yes, yes i’m a bit slow on these things, but oh gosh, i wanna work there! Maybe after A levels or something eh?
