Let me screen you

Tuesday, May 02, 2006

I want to go out today but I'm too shy and too lazy to ask anyone out. And I am dressed like chi-chi New York. Well, at least I think I'm dressed like chi-chi New York. Because I am wearing J-Lo's gold loop earrings. I hope she's not looking to wear them today. Hurhur. Aper jer Awing.

I caught another episode of Anugerah Skrin last night. Suddenly, I felt a funny feeling of familiarity. Macam ada seerti seiras lah dengan Miss Singapore Universe. Ohhh... All the girls have STRAIGHT AND LONG HAIR! You know what I mean... Straight and long hair. And boring. Seriously Anugerah Skriners. You all look the same. Like you come from the same cetak rompak. Hurhur.

Unsure of what you wanna do with your hair? Straighten it!

Wrecking your brains on what kinda hairstyle suits you? Straighten it!

Curly hair? Straighten it!

Got kutu (fleas) in your hair? Straighten it! (In hope that the kutus will die a painful death from the heat of the rebonding iron).

WHERE ARE ALL THE TALENTED GIRLS WITH SHORT OR CURLY HAIR???

I know there's at least one because I'm still alive and kicking now, right? Hurhur ok kidding.

The only hair variety I see on the screen that night was Rilla Melati, who obviously had no say on how her hair was styled because that power went to the hairstylists; and Sharon Ismail. Whoa! Now that's what I call character. Put her in a roomful of gorgeous babes and I can pick her out. Not because she's tall but because she has uber cool hair.

Honestly. I am not 100% against long and straight but if you want to stand out, look different. Be different. I mean, everyone there are talented, right? But what sets you apart, aside from a pretty face? Your hair. That's right, your hair. I cannot tell 'em girls apart because they have the same hair. Another thing that sets you apart is of course, your name. Like, if your name is Audi or Aura. Then again, we see the face first before we hear the name, right?

Take for example, last week's episode of Anugerah Skrin. There's one particular girl who caught my attention. She has this really cool hair. Short at the back and it gradually tapers longer at the sides. Uber chic, understand. Tyra Banks will give her nod of approval. And to put the cherry on top of the cake, she is good too. Total control of her body language, voice and posture. I lurve. Although I didn't catch her name. Must be something common. Opps ampun. Haha...

So my mum: "Awin, ni lah ibu suruh kau joiinnn... Anugerah Skrin. Kenapa tak joinnn..."

Me: "Aper jer ibu. Taaak nak lah. Malu."

Mum: "Eleh. Malu konon. Never mind lah, try only what."

Ibu dearest, let me tell you why I won't join.

1) When I am nervous or excited, I will stutter. My words will run over each other. I.e 'irrelevant' will become 'irrevelant', 'facility' will become 'Felicity' and 'certificate' will become 'cerfiticate'. You get my drift.

2) I swear too much, so I might swear on TV. "Kepalahotakkau lah nyaarr..." don't really sound polite on tv now, would it? Not pretty.

3) I have a big-ass pimple on my face NOW. So if I were to appear on-screen around this time, my big-ass pimple with its white pus will show and no concealer will help.

4) I am shy. This statement is true.

5) I don't have long, straight and silky Pantene hair. Or Toni & Guy hair.

So yeah. I can't join Anugerah Skrin. Although I like to talk and I like to feeling-feeling host. I like to eksyen eleh-eleh only.
