    Today, I was woken up from my nap at 8pm by a phone call from my mum. After calling me a weirdo for taking naps at such hours , she told me that she was distressed after watching Miss Malaysia Chinese International’s reality show. Apparently, it’s like America’s Next Top Model now, complete with crying and elimination. To add salt to the injury, the rest of the girls have to choose between the bottom two; which one stays and which one goes home. She was saying how lucky I was because I didn’t have to be a reality show prior to the real pageant. Well, no complaints on my side and I can’t give comments on the show because I don’t have access to it.

  Reality shows are ruling the waves now. When we talk about the 80s, we remember the big shoulder pads and the ridiculous hairdos on the boy band members.We associate wheat and bell-bottom-pants with the 70s so I guess we’ll be remembered as the reality show era. Frankly, I am not too proud of it but I must admit that whoever came up with the idea was quite clever.

The contestants from this year gave me a card and a group photo in a frame. How sweet! I think it was the content of the card that was touching.

I’ll be judging a few segments of the pageant this year. Hence, I’ve include their photos above. Feel free to share you opinion with me .
