Tuesday was the gathering of the top 10 girls and guys from The Most Natural Face Search contest. We gathered at Justlife factory in Sunway Damansara at 7.30 a.m.. I was either the third or fourth to reach. Waited for more people to come then only I enter. My mom was talking to Christine awhile and then after 10-15 minutes I got down and I went in with Denise. Then met Jeff Lim, Mervyn, Stephen, Ivan, and of course Vincent as well. We pass up our forms and they gave us our name sticker to stick on our baju so people could call us since the media was there as well. After everyone reach we departed from that place to Enderong House, Tanarimba, Bukit Tinggi, Pahang. The journey took us about an hour. We all sat in a van together with Christine and Yong Khai (organizer). Then Yong Khai was very exited I don't know why but throughout the whole journey he keep shiok sendiri and was rapping in the van. The more I see him the more I think he and Vincent look like brothers.
During the journey there, we had to draw numbers to see who was our partner for the day and my partner was Mervyn. I would say throughout the journey there he was quiet. We reach the junction to Genting and Bukit Tinggi and we all said "turn right la..not go Genting meh?" LOL! When the driver turn into Tanarimba, he off the aircond and we were enjoying the cool breeze from outside. It was so enjoying and nice as you won't get that kind of feeling in KL FOR SURE. When we reached the top of the house, I was like *WHOA* The environment was so beautiful with so many trees and the house is..*idunnowhatwordtouse*
We went in and we were given some time to change our outfit for yoga session. Christine was the instructor. Everyone couldn't do it perfectly except Elizabeth and Kheng cause they do practice yoga. After yoga we went to the Enderong organic farm. We walked from Enderong House to the farm. It's like hiking in a way.
When we reached the farm, Mr Bahar explain some of the plants to us. We felt and smell the organic soil. It's so moist and the texture is smooth..and.....there's WORMS inside..I had to hold and I was scared so I held it for less than 5 seconds I guess and threw it back on to the ground. Then we tried raw long bean and french bean. Mr Bahar pluck the long bean from the plant and without washing we just ate them. It's so much skinnier compare to those you see in the market because it does not contain any pesticide and it takes quite a long time to grow. Then we move on and tried the french bean. I love the french bean. I plucked about 3 or 4 of them. It's skinny as well but it's so sweet and crunchy. So YUMMY!! :D
Continued with photo sessions in the farm, and we harvest and washed some vegetables. I harvested lettuce and sawi.. Oh, I plucked 3 cilipadi back for my mom as well. She ate them yesterday and she say it was so nice because it was very spicy. Organic food is giving positive feedbacks..hmm..After that we went back to the house.
Reached back the house and Chew Yoong ask Mervyn and I to wash some of the lettuce. Halfway washing someone else ask us to stopped to decorate our pizza. We spread the tomato paste on to the bread and Mervyn started with putting cherry tomatoes around the pizza with space in between. Then I spread the cauliflower in the middle and he added the broccoli on top. He then picit the mayonaise as a outline of our pizza and he ask what to write or draw so I just say draw smiley laa. Then he drew the eyes, nose, and mouth and I put the cherry tomatoes on the eyes, nose, and mouth. it was cute. Unfortunately, I do not own a camera so I didn't manage to capture the picture. After lunch I went back to the kitchen but it was already gone into everyone's stomach :(
After lunch there was a workshop on inner beauty. After the workshop, we had to draw numbers again. This draw is to determine who partner who during the finals and also we had to play a game to see who will go up the stage first that night. The game was Limbo Rock. I manage to do all but unfortunately a girl couldn't make it when the stick went lower so girls will go up first. Not all girls one shot though. What I meant was girl guy girl guy.
Again my partner was Mervyn..apa laa..haha..We're the fourth so meaning on that night I'll be the seventh to appear on stage..Scarynyer.. Next was catwalk. We had the Miss Astro, Mandy Ong, to teach us. The girls actually had more comments than the guys :( My comments will be....*secret secret*...embarrassing la. But after doing a few times they say got a little improvement so ok la. So now when I walk even in college I'm actually practicing it. Alamak.
Anyway, after catwalk was tea time. We had chocolate cake, ginger biscuit, oat biscuit, cinnamon bun, and the leftover pizzas from the afternoon. I didn't try the chocolate cake though cause I was already so full and I was having headache that time. I asked for panadol they didn't give instead they ask me to inhale the peppermint oil and made me peppermint tea too. *roll eyes*
Next agenda was DIY beauty. We did the normal 3 cleanser and we had to put (organic banana blended with manuka honey) mask. I ter-taste it too. Elk =.= Leave for 10-15 minutes and we wiped it off and put hydrating gel and sunblock. After DIY beauty we had to pair up with our partner again and there was game. There were 5 different stations and when we go to each station we had to do something then answer questions.
The first station was to use the hoola hoop to turn 5 times then answer 4 questions. Manage to answer all so happy.
Second station was puzzle. This was the only station NONE of us manage to get it. Oh, I didn't mention each station only got 5 minutes.
The third station was to find one product which has no *syntheticsomething* so we took the garbage enzyme and we had to put it back after showing her and answer questions. Again all right :D
In the fourth station, one of us had to hold a pen and close one eye and Mervyn did that, and I had to close one eye as well but I must move the pen I was holding to touch his pen. Not easy leh. But manage to do it in time so still ok la.
And our last station was to do the catwalk we learnt then only answer questions. We had to do the catwalk twice because not synchronize. Za dao =.=
When the game ended, we had to count how many signatures we got. Everyone got 17 but Vincent and Kheng got 16 so they're out. Between the four teams we are given another 5 minutes to do the puzzle again. Previously one team do 2 puzzle but we ask them to let us do one puzzle each team so that is it. I wanted to do first but Mervyn said wait cause maybe we could see how's the picture like from the first 2 team who's doing it.
Apparently, the staffs block us so we couldn't see. All I can see is their figuring how to fix it because there was 2 parts which is the toughest. It was the different tone of green as well as different tone of black with few lights on it. Confusing man. Before our turn, Mervyn already ask which part I want to do so I said I'll do the tough part while he do the words because previously when we did I saw he was better at the words than the colour so I took the challenge to fix the colour.
I fixed the black first because that one has some lights on it so it was easier than the green. I put it aside and did the green while he was still fixing the words. I was almost there but there was about 3 or 4 pieces that I couldn't find where to put it. I just put the black under the green and asked Mervyn to faster join the words below. Then the staffs that were looking at us started screaming so I knew what happen. They count the the last 10 seconds together and we were still figuring out where to put the last 3-4 pieces. Yong Khai blew the whistle and we had to stop and then......they announce the champion was Mervyn and I because we manage to fix more pieces than the rest although it wasn't complete.
Our gift was a bottle of manuka honey 500g. It's not a cheap product so I'm greatful that we've won. Hopefully during finals also like that :)
After that game, we gather and they ask if we had anything to share. Only Vincent, Kheng, Cynthia, and Stephen stood up and talk. Then before we pack our things we sang a song. We all stand in a semi-circle, hand in hand and when they started singing my tears started to flow :'( The lyrics was like this
"How could anyone ever tell you
You were anything less than beautiful?
How could anyone ever tell you
You were anything less than whole?
Have anyone ever tell you
That your looking is a miracle?
*this part i forgot* :(
Then Yong Khai said something and his eyes was watery..lol..and another staff say hug the people beside us and I was beside Chew Yoong that time. Then I noticed Elizabeth cried as well. It ended like that. We changed and left back to PJ. Tomorrow is the college tour in KTAR from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.. Friends please go to the booth because they're gonna have games and prizes to be given away. The finals will be on the 29th of November in Jaya One from 7.30 p.m. - 10 p.m.
HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS THERE SUPPORTING ME :D
