Recently my cardio dance teacher at my gym was selected as the 10 finalists in a model search contest. A few of us from his class went to support him....Well...I'm not a clubbing person so finding the place was one thing and getting there was another.
Finally we managed to get there in one piece with plenty of time to spare. The registration was supposed to start at 8pm and the event by 9pm. We reached there about a little past 8pm and the place was already filling up quite fast. My teacher's partner was also there along with a few other of his "kaki". We looked for him backstage and had a few pictures taken with his "canggih" hairstyle...you know the ones where the hair stands on end like spikes, kinda look like you just came out of a horror movie scared stiff...hehe...Was very tempted to touch it to see if it's as hard as it looks...but then again, don't wanna mess up his hair right before the competition.
We stood near the stage so that we could get a better view. By 9.30pm the place was jam packed and still no sign of the event starting. Some of the girls were in their stilletto heels, and with only standing place, I don't envy how their feet must feel by now. Always being the practical one, I wore my sneakers...lucky choice. The event didn't start until about 10pm....the delay seems to be because the VIPs were late, as usual.
After the 2 hour wait for the event to start, Lina Teoh, our MC came out to present the contestants. When it was his turn to do the catwalk, we were cheering him on like nobody's business. He could hear us and I think we could see a hint of a smile as he struggled not to smile while on stage. Don't know what's this thing about models not supposed to smile...though I think his smile is one of the most charming thing about him. They did about two rounds of catwalk and that was it...kinda disappointing after that long wait. Finally the results...drumrolls please.....And the winner is....
....sorry, it wasn't him.
But he went home with a pair of cool shades and voucher. After the event we went out for a cuppa and they were talking about the prizes and plans in store for the winners. I was just wondering how it would have affected him if he did win. He will probably be very busy touring on shoots and making appearances in galas or events. Will he have time to teach dancing anymore? Either way, he's leaving for another gym because they offered him a deal he couldn't refuse. I've always enjoyed his classes and will miss him. His was the first class I joined when I first joined the gym and have been following most of his classes since then...which is about almost two years. Sigh if it wasn't so far away, I would probably have joined the other gym as well....
Oh well, life goes on...
