Damn, my mind is all over the place but i’ll be posting some cool links up soon.
Dr. Mahathir has started a blog 0_o and it has 93,000 hits already.
Hanis replied my sms – “Joyce! Thank you so much! And no, I did not shed a single tear. I won third place with pride, i believe. Most precious thing i’ve gained, the love and support from u guys. Thanks for believing in me. Rudy is wicked cool! I listen to him and jj every morning. But i sedih i tak jumpa you at the final.”
I arrived at 1 Utama in time for the finalists’ first appearance, but we were really bored and hungry so RowdyRudy and i fled to Chilli’s to have some grub and tequila shots before heading back down.
Just in time for the winner to be called (thanks to Denise for alerting me )
Adeline, Hanis, Cindy and Elaine
Winner of the first Malaysian Dreamgirl was to walk away with
– a Nissan Latio 1.8Ti (A)
– RM10,000 preloaded AmBank NexG PrePaid MasterCard
– RM3,000 Wella Professionals hamper
– RM1,000 worth of Escada fragrances
– RM1,000 worth of Bebe apparel (damn)
– RM500 worth in Nose footwear
– featured in NewMan cover spread
That’s quite a lot man. Especially the car..!
Everytime Hanis came walking out, the cheers were distinctively louder. “Wow, they really like her, huh?” said Rudy “Yeah!”
KennySia, me, RowdyRudy
When Elaine Daly (who emceed) asked who’s supporting Cindy, there weren’t many cheers.
She joked, “Where’s Cindy’s family?”
When she asked who’s supporting Adeline, there weren’t many cheers as well.
When she asked who’s supporting Hanis, you guessed that right, the cheers just went crazy.
The third runner up was to be announced first.
And Hanis’ name got called.
You could feel the shock of the crowd as people went, “Huh? What? Yay! Hanis’ name! Eh, no la, that was third runner up! OMG. HANIS didn’t win!”
“Oh no, look at her… she so thought she’s gonna win…” “Well, yeah… everyone wanted her to win…”
But i must say, she’s really brave for not crying.
I think if it were me, i’d have bawled like hai on the stage already.
As Hanis got her picture taken for 3rd runner up, the crowd clapped and her supporters still cheered her on, which was really sweet.
Adeline, won 2nd runner up.
And Cindy, won Malaysian Dreamgirl.
You can tell by the way i’m typing i’m so not semangat already right.
-_-
So, behind-the-scenes news (this was told to me by someone involved in the show) was that because this was purely an SMS-voting competition, Cindy’s family threw down 15k worth in votes.
When you think of it, 15k is pretty damn value for a car, RM10k cash back in return, all those other prizes, and buying your daughter’s happiness for her to win the competition.
Another little bird told me that in the week that Ringo was up against Cindy to be voted out, Ringo’s mom and bro SMSed RM4,000 worth… and Ringo STILL lost.
Can you imagine how much money Cindy’s family has been chucking in then?
Man, the Malaysian Dreamgirl show sure made a lot of money from this system.
I feel sorry for Hanis but i thought she’s really brave for putting up a smile (probably till she reached backstage).
After the announcement, i was like, “BAH. Let’s go,” and we went to have some merlot at Cribs.
We were talking about it for a while and i was like, “Eh! We should get her number and send her an sms to make her feel better!”
So i got her number from KennySia and we smsed – “KinkyBlueFairy and Rudy from Hitz.fm would like to say we totally support you and what a travesty the outcome was. Don’t cry k, you’ll go far girl. Kisses.”
What i think is, look at it this way – you’re 17, you got on a national reality TV show, you won some money, managed to garner a huge following, you have so many supporters and hey, so what, you didn’t win.
But this is just the beginning for you.
After having Facebook infiltrate meetings when it comes to marketing all sorts of things, i decided that, what the hell, i might as well just approve all the pending requests i have on my account to optimize the number of people we’re trying to reach via web.
The reason i don’t confirm requests is usually because:
1. They put some stupid picture and i cannot recognise them from their full name
2. If it’s someone i cannot remember then yes, i do feel bad about it, but it would really take too long to msg everyone asking how/where/through whom i met them
3. And if it’s someone i met for two seconds and they add me… then lagi i cannot remember cos my memory is so bad..!!!
4. It’s someone i don’t remember cos i really don’t know them.
I thought of staring another FB account up for Kinkybluefairy, but it’s seriously too much effort.
Taking care of mine and Mr Elephant’s is enough 0_o
I’m adding them all under limited profile view… cos i don’t fancy (almost) strangers looking at my shameless party pictures that my not-so-shameless friends keep on tagging.
-_-
If you’re under my limited profile view and are feeling slightly dissed cos we actually know each other, pls drop me a msg…
I’ve clicked away at 50 already.
Wish i could hire someone to click a mouse for me >.<
Still have this much to go.
I think i’ll spread them out over the course of the next few days… or week la yeah.
The weather’s been really horrid lately, alternating between storms and damn-hot-can-die.
Today when lightning struck, the electricity in the office went out.
Then everyone started screaming cos they didn’t save.
I was just trying to keep calm hoping upon hope that WordPress autosaves. I know Blogger does but wasn’t sure bout WordPress.
So i was thinking, “Cool… chill… keep calm first. Then go home and check. If benar-benar my post didn’t save then only start screaming.”
Lots happened over the week and weekend. Some i’m going to keep private -_-
But overall i’m a happy camper!
I think lots of have to do with the abundance in shopping i did yesterday and today (i’m trying not to think about last weekend’s damage).
Another store in Bangsar put their branded wares on sale *gasp* and i got a MaxAzria top for 80% off.
Siao.
I’ll be writing about it on another blog… which if you’re smart you’d be able to find sendiri.
We’re just not making it superpublic yet.
Patience, my young padawan.
(Ugh. Looks like AdamPoserPan quotes haven’t rubbed off of me yet)

Oops.
Went for happy girlie lunch at Jarrod & Rawlins with DhanyaTheMonkel (okay her cartoon name is back to that), Aps and QueenKanch.
I saw a waiter walking past with ice cream and it was insanely hot today so i went, “Ooh! I want ice cream!”
When my order was being taken, i said, “Okay, i’d like a ginger ale, lamb and cranberry sausages… and ice cream!” Waiter: You want ice cream with your sausages? What about a side dish?
Me: No… ice cream… Waiter: What about salad or fries with your sausages..?
Me: I want ice cream.
Aps couldn’t stop laughing how i insisted on ordering sausages and ice cream, the waiter thought i was mad and i simply didn’t care. I WANTED ICE CREAM! He was quite layan, laughed a bit and got me what i wanted.
