Miss Palm Beach 2006
Friday, September 15th, 2006When i 1st got a message from my Managing Director, I thought that she was a fake ageant because there is alot of friendsters profile saying that they are all those model agencies. To make sure, i had ask plenty of questions to see whether isit a true agency. So yup, its true! So after few months of chatting and contacting my ageant, I finally agree to join the competition.
Finally the day came which was yesterday, 14 Sept., thursday. I was suppose to be there by 5pm at Palm Beach Bistros but because of the heavy rain, jam and the wrong turning i thought that i was going to be late and missed alot. But nope, i was the 1st person there. Thanks to james, he drove me and was there for me the whole entire time. I know i’ve wasted 8 hours of his time for him to just sit and wait for me. (thanks alot darling). So 1 by 1 the girls came in, i was really shy and scared because this is my very 1st time joining a beauty pageant. All the girls were tall and beautiful and i look really down on myself. Then the make up artists and the hair dressers came, there were like more than 10 of them carrying the make up boxes and equipments. So we settle down in the room letting the makeup artists and hair dressers change our image. When everyone was done, the night almost begin. We were all practising our steps and the way to cat walk. I couldn’t believe that everyone the speaks mandarin and i’m so bad at that language. I had to make the assistant to repeat what ever she say in english. Everyone was a competitor to me because of their looks, their body and their height. I was pretty scared about that.
The Night came. The event started at 10.30pm sharp after the performances done by local band singers. With the shivering and nervous feeling, i went up the stage and started doing my best smile and catwalk. Seeing the amount of people and the flashing cameras, i did my best. Everyone of us had to dress in 3 different dressing. 1st it was the casual wear and then was the night wear and ended with the swim wear. We had to go up the stage and catwalk for 5 times. The most scarying part was the introduction where I need to speak and intro my self infront of everyone.
Then the results was out at 12.30am. Doing our last catwalk, they finally announce the semi finalist. I didn’t hope to be chosen at all because of the competition and I couldn’t believe myself that when the MC announce "Number 11, Miss Kelly Khoo from Kuala Lumpur". I was like shock to hear that and I walk to the front as others did. Possing at the front of the stage with the other semi finalist for the photo graphers. All the flashes from the camera making my eyes turn blind. haha.
I went home happily with a gift certificate worth RM1158. All thanks to the support from James. Without him, i don’t think i can experience such a thing and even getting through to the semi finals. The next semi finals will be held on 28 Sept, Thursday night. If anyone is interested to come and see it, everyone is welcome. The place is at Palm Beach Bistros, Jln Bukit Bintang. =) Thanks for reading my blog. If you wanna see the pictures, go to www.multiply.com to take alook.
