I have just watched the finale for The American's Next Top Model. Basically, this show is about a group of model wannabe who wanted to win the modelling contract and be deemed the top model in America.
Looking back at my past, I have always been teased by my own relatives. The following happened during almost every Chinese New Year:
auntie 1: Aiyoh, you grown so tall already ah...can be model loh...go try lah!
I: Er...no lah...I not tall lah...not pretty too.
auntie 2: Hah! Where got! You are so tall, then so pretty...can be a model loh.
I: Er...no lah...-_-''
(repeat the entire situation a couple of times and repeat it again every time there is a major family gathering)
I must say...among all my friends, I am tall. At 1.71m, it is no wonder why my relatives reacted this way. But although I am tall, I wasn't pretty. When I was in secondary school, right to my first year in polytechnic, I was a pimply bespectacled girl who was unappealing and tomboyish. That is the reason why I never thought of becoming a model. Me with my pimply and ugly face would disgrace the Singapore model industry!
At 21 (I've just passed my big 21), I have learnt to be more forgiving to myself and as I have maintained a good cleansing routine, I got rid of big acnes. Though my face is not a perfect face, I learnt to accept it (Of course, there is the wonderful word call make-up to help make my life better).
I must say, looking at the judges in TANTM, they seemed to be voting for Mercedes...but the surprise turnout to be Yoanna who won...I guess Yoanna's face does seemed to the factor that won over Mercedes...Ah well...beauty makes wonders...don't you think?
