One day tourist guide!

I've been a tourist guide today! I got a phone call from sis this morning when i was in library. She said that she's free until evening. Since I've no class(actually I got MIS lecture but i skip!), I immediately "shoot" to Times Square and meet her.

It was 11.15am when i reached the hotel lobby. Sis and Emily(an ex-model, now owns a modelling company) asked me to bring them to KLCC. They wanted to have a look at the Petronas Twin Tower. No doubt KLCC is a trademark of Malaysia.

We took train there. Of course we changed station at Kl Sentral. I've forgotten when is the last time I came to KLCC. We walked in almost every single shop at every level. I even walked into those branded outlet that I would never thought of walking in, including Gucci, Armani, Bose.....

Emily just looks good in any clothes she's trying as she is tall enough. After some time, sis get tired. We had a cup of coffee at starbucks. After taking some photo somewhere near the KLCC convention Centre, we left for Petaling Street. I do not have any photo in my handphone as I was taking photo for them using their digi-cam and DV. Maybe next time when they send the photos to me I could upload it! Emily called me as "xiao zhong"(little chong). Quite a nice name for me.....

Before we left KLCC, we saw a Malay guy playing with his tradiotional instrument(I dunno the name but it's not Kompang) with the song "Superstar" from SHE! It's very nice, playing a pop song with a traditional instrument!

Just Click here to download the Video Clip!

It's a 3GP file and you could open it using Real Player. Enjoy!

Sis and Emily bought some stuff at Petaling Street. We also saw the Maxis Truck for the "spot the ball contest"




I find it impossible to get the accurate number of balls as the ratio of each different balls are not given. We went back Times Square after that. The taxi driver are so inconsiderate. They wanted to charged RM10 instead of running on the metre. Emily asked me whether all Malaysian Taxi drivers are like that. I have no answer for her, I wanted to know the answer as well. It's very bad indeed to let tourists have a bad impression to our country. Emily also said that there is more cars than people in Malaysia. I just couldn't explain to her. It's actually due to the bad public transport service and the National Car issue(Proton). We decided to walk back times square. Sis was always behind us since she took her DV out and took picture after walking every 10 steps(haha...a bit kua cheong).

It's around 5.30pm when we reached at the hotel room. It's quite late since the Beauty Pageant starts at 7pm. After a while, one of the models came in. I do not have any words to describe this girl, "pretty" is unsuficient to express my feelings towards her. Emily then do some make-up for her.





She then took a piece of paper out consisting of the questions that would be asked for the final 12 delegates.
These are the questions.

1. Please share with us your attainment and feelings towards this beauty pageant.
2. If you win this beauty pageant, what are you going to do with the cash prizes?
3. What do you like the most in Malaysia?
4. If you are the winner of this beauty pageant, what will you do for this event?
5. If you have a chance to bring all the delegates to your own cities for travel visiting, what will you do?
6. If you are the champion for this year, who you would like to express your words from the bottom of your heart and what will you say?
7. If you could choose to become man or woman next generation, which one you will select to be?
8. If you are left with only 24 hours during your lifetime, what will you do?
9. What do you think the most important for you to participate a beauty pageant?
10. Please introduce the specialty and beauty of your country and city to everybody.
11. If you could turn back the time to edit your mistake in the past, what you want to do?
12. what's so special in you to make all the judges choosing you to be the winner for tonight?
13. What do you think the spirit of beauty pageant?
14. Who is the Chinese Woman nowadays you admire most? Why?
15. If you can use Aladdin teapot to make a wish now, what wish will you make?


I read the questions and started to give her some opinions. It was as if I were to participate in the beauty pageant! Ha.....I've been watching delegates answering these questions on TV and now it is me who is trying to figure out the answer. It's really a special experiece for me to get involved in giving opinions. She seems confident in this beauty pageant. From the way she speaks and her tone and look I can clearly see that. No doubt, she has the quality to be the winner, however it depends on her performance later at night! We were discussing all the questions, sis also gave her opinion.

We were stucked at questions 7, 11 and 14. Hopefully she is not chosen to answer one of these questions. She then took out a pencil and pretended as a mic and started interviewing me. Her voice was so soft yet so clear. I was stunned. Partly because of her sudden act, partly is because I do not know how to answer...Probably she could try to host a TV programme as she would be a perfect one!

It's almost 7pm and she left for the beauty pageant. Hopefully she will emerge as the Miss Oriental Pearl for this year! Before i left i took a picture with Emily.






Sis told me that i'm very lucky cos i had already seen the champion. Hopefully I can read about this beauty pageant in Monday papers. Right now the final 12 delegates that make it to the finals might be out, i wish you luck my friend! Hope you can suceed!
