WHY DID I JOIN MISS WORLD MALAYSIA 2009 & WHY SHOULD I BE THE NEXT MISS WORLD MALAYSIA 2009?
Being a Miss Malaysia is every Malaysian girls' dream...Yes boh? My decision to join Miss World Malaysia 2009 was not because I'm KIASU and it wasn't just because I wanted to fulfill that lil girl fantasy of mine...
1. EXPOSURE
Why would I want to be put in the situation (spotlight) where everything I say, every action I make, how I look is being scrutinized by people who don't even know me.
Nobody forced me into this. IT IS MY DREAM TO SING & ACT.
Joining this pageant is one of the doors that I'm knocking/one of the roads I'm walking to reach my ultimate goal.
Quote from Deborah Priya Henry " Joining the Pageant was what I have to do in order to do what I want to do [modelling]."
It is Human Nature to scrutinize & give opinions. Sticks and stones can break your bones but words could never hurt you. :-D
Well I don't mind if it is constructive and I don't care if the remark is shallow or stupid. I'll work on the constructive comment and leave out the stupid shallow ones :-D
I have developed a thick skin considering I've been singing,dancing,acting,emcee-ing,modelling,freelancing (difficult to find money ok!!!) for about 4 years now... In this industry, one must have thick skin. Tomorrow is a new day!!! Cannot sing? Practice... Chubby? Loose weight...
SO IT IS UP TO ME TO WORK HARD and improve myself.
One of My past work...Broadway parodies lagi lah!
2. EXPERIENCE & LEARNING(Not every girl is given this once-in-a-lifetime chance)
I believe that every experience in life makes us a better person. We are all learners in life. I will elaborate more on what I have learned in my future post. After the MWM 2009 week. :-D
3. OPPORTUNITY
I was EXTREMELYYYYY excited when I found out that this year's winner will be the ambassador of stART foundation. A foundation for underprivileged children to learn and express themselves through performing arts.
It combines 2 of the things that I've been doing sooo long and am passionate about PERFORMING ARTS & CHARITY!!!!! wow wow wow!!!
Unlike schools in America/Australia/UK, We do not have proper music/drama/dance education in M'sian public schools... and that would make it so difficult for talented children to developed if you don't have the D-O-U-G-H.
My parents struggled to put me through ballet classes, piano classes, choir, latin dancing classes. I feel soooo bad looking back at how much money they've spent to make me happy. Instead of using the money to go on holidays, buying expensive clothes. It was all spent on me.
Thus, I feel that all children no matter poor or rich or from whatever background should be given the chance to learn & express themselves through Performing Arts...
Dancing, Singing and Acting was the very thing that made ME SOOOOOO HAPPY as a kid...they say English is the universal language...but personally I think Music, Dancing & The Arts are understood by many more people...:-D
And the very reason I deserve to be Miss World Malaysia 2009 because I'm not "ALL TALK NO SHOW".
I do not say things which I do not believe in. When I say I love doing charity work and I do charity work I actually love doing charity work and I do charity work. In fact, I've been part of a youth charity organization called the Leo Club for 9 YEARS already. Yupe, since I was 13 years old. I have just stepped down as President of the Leo Club of KL Bukit Kiara in August.
During the audition, one of the panel said "Hmmm...I dunno you are acting or not (because I say I do theatre =_=") I feel that you want to win Miss World Malaysia 2009 because of yourself...not because you want to do charity work."
Well, Just because I do acting doesn't mean I am acting all the time and if 9 years of sincere charity work does not mean anything to you. I HAVE GOT NOTHING TO SAY ANYMORE...
Doesn't it pisses you off when a celebrity talks all about a particular charity and how passionate they are in that Cause but all they ever do is just attend the mock-cheque giving ceremony just to take pictures?
You think the PUBLIC stupid ar??? U think we born yesterday ar?
Charity is not just about giving money...It's alot of hard work!!!
Reach-Gloria Estefan
Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all your heart
And Ill do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made
Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last would be mine
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
Im gonna be stronger
Know that Ive tried my very best
Id put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
Some days are meant to be remembered
Those days we rise above the stars
So Ill go the distance this time
Seeing more the higher I climb
That the more I believe
All the more that this dream will be mine
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
Im gonna be stronger
Know that Ive tried my very best
Id put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
Im gonna be stronger
From that one moment in my life
Im gonna be so much stronger yes I am
Know that Ive tried my very best
Id put my spirit to the test
If I could reach higher
If I could, if I could
If I could reach
Reach, Id reach, Id reach
Id reach Id reach so much higher
Be stronger

I never knew that pretty girls enter beauty pageants for admirable purposes -- but yours is something I deeply respect and admire. I know this comment is belated for this post, but I want to say that you keep doing what you do, girl! People say things about you and judge you for what they see, but I am glad that you're letting the world know about your dreams and who you are on the inside. Good luck in everything you do, Sarah!
