the contest day
Mummy received a call from the management of Queensbay Mall last week notifying us that we were shortlisted as one of the 15 finalist to make it to the Mummy & Me Glamour Pageant. We were requested to attend the rehearsal and outfit testing on Fri evening. We went there after Emeryn's school ended. After the outfit trying, mummy decided to quit the pageant as she don't like the pre-selected costume. The contestants are not allowed to change the costume fixed by Espirit, the sponsor of the event. Nevertheless, the QBM Management promised mummy for a change of the costume and then we proceeded with the rehearsal. After the rehearsal, again we were told that the costume change is not allowed. So mummy told the management that we won't be joining. Emeryn cried and got very upset knowing mummy's decision. We headed for our late dinner at Old Town before going home. The lady from QBM called mummy and asked mummy to go back to Espirit to select her desire costume. We decided to do so the next day, on the day of the event itself.
At home, we had a quick cat walk practice before going to bed. The next day, Sat we reached QBM around 11.15am and mummy started with her hairdo, followed by the make up. The whole process took at least 45mins before mummy brought Emeryn to one of the hair saloon for her hairdo. Her hairdo costs RM45. Next we headed back to Espirit, thinking we could have an attire change as promised. Disappointingly there is only ONE more choice for mummy, if she refuses the pre-fixed costume. And that particular ONE choice is even worst than the first one (a very personal thought). We were left with no choice but to remain with the pre-fixed selection. Mummy would have not proceed if it's not for Emeryn's wish.
The event started at 2pm with all the glamorous cat walk paraded by the mummies. The first round involved only the mummies and the second round involved mummies and their kids. There was a Q&A session as well. We went home empty handed but all the finalist were given RM400 worth of gift/vouchers each. We will only redeem the said gift the following week. Before going home, we had our late lunch at Winter Warmers. Nevertheless it was a fun experience parading on the stage. Mummy had a sore feet wearing her high heels walking around. We went home for a rest before going over to Por Por's house later.
