Finally, I’m home. The moment I stepped through the doors and put my luggage down, I was already thinking about work on Monday. It wasn’t an insane thought. Somehow, I knew that things were going to be different from this day on. After the pageant, I know I’m not the same person I used to be anymore.

It’s been a grueling month, but God has blessed me with great people who have supported me at work and the pageant. Thank you to my family, friends, and all my wonderful colleagues at Tune Group. Thank you for being a part of my life.

My pageant experience involved a lot of hard work, determination and a strong sense of self. There were 18 finalists. All of us met the qualifying criteria – height, beauty, intelligence, personality. The question is simple – who is better? You’d be surprised at the amount of fine detail the judges had to scrutinize to vet us through. It was a close call at my auditions. According to Andrea Fonseka, our national director, I messed up my audition because I was standing with stooped shoulders.

“You mean it wasn’t a weight issue?” I asked. Inwardly, I rejoiced. I’m not fat. I’m. not. fat. I’m not fat (I had to say it three times for emphasis)!

“No.” she answered. “You were standing like this-” Andrea leaned forward, imitating my slight slouch (I straightened my back immediately). “The other girl was standing like this.” Andrea drew herself up into a tall, perfect posture.

That point just hit me like a ton of bricks. I can be anal at times, but this called for the ultimate expression of perfection. It was then I realized how important the little things were. The art of presentation of feminine beauty in pageants involve poise, grace, class, elegance, and I can’t stress this enough: technique. The key word to mastering technique – practice. I learned my lesson well that day, and I did not take the tiniest of technical details in training during pageant week lightly.

There are the technicalities of pageantry we had to learn (which I stress again, is very important), protocols to observe; public appearances to make. None of us were exempted from the activities. We had to do everything we were told to do without having our own individuality drowned in detail. That was the only way we could stand out and demonstrate charisma in front of the judges.

We were primarily under Andrea’s tutelage in all pageant-related aspects, of which I’ve benefited greatly from. We were also privileged to have other esteemed industry veterans come in to train us as well. This is not an exhaustive list: for hair, we had Winnie Loo, founder and CEO of A Cut Above (she did my hair for gala night. thanks Winnie!). For our finals, we worked with Andrew, founder of Andrew’s Models (which is the top modeling agency in KL) together with high fashion models Tini and Sue. Andrew has little patience for slip ups, even minor ones. We had to pay close attention to him because he speaks so quickly and if you don’t keep up… For make up, we had industry veteran Taymie Chin. Then there was media training with Craig and Farrell of Orchan Consulting, Jahabar Sadiq, CEO of Malaysian Insider, Mr Wong Sai Man, Executive Editor of The Star, and Noorsila Majid of Daily Chili. I’ve been training under directors who are all perfectionists – and they pushed us because they want the best from us. Thank you for dedicating your time from your busy schedules to come in and train us.

Although pageant training emphasizes on our grooming, appearance, and public speaking skills, it is important to put our training in context. It’s also not just about glamorous parties and wearing gowns and jewelery that cost 10 times my annual salary. Our charisma, personality and intelligence, is equally, if not more important than our looks. Charisma is key in delivering stellar performances on stage – and Hans Isaac was right – half of us looked nervous during finals, and that lack of confidence can clearly be seen, ruining chances of victory, even though it’s just a split second flash of uncertainty across one’s face. It was the women who felt completely at home, in front of the flashing cameras and lights and the hundreds of people – it was them who owned the stage and they knew it. It shows in their smiles and their walk, and it is a beautiful thing to watch. Needless to say, it was a close call for the selection of the final 5 during the gala night as well.

I’ve learnt something about myself that night as I walked on stage. I realized for once, I was nervous. And it was at that moment I knew that I could not win, even though I may have scored in my pre-judging interview. I also realized I did not feel as much passion for modeling as compared to dance. Dance is, and always will be my first love till the day I die.

One thing I envy about our winner Nadine is she gets to have a personal trainer from True Fitness and she has to workout EVERY DAY to train for Miss Universe. I wish I had such a luxury (God willing, I will have my own PT one day). As Andrea mentioned, Miss Universe finalists are not beautiful waify models. They are beautiful athletes. Their bodies are lean and well-toned in demigod-like proportions with glowing skin that is to die for.

Now it’s back to the real world (or is the pageant actually real, and my life stuck in the Matrix?), where everyone isn’t constantly dressed to the nines in 6 inch killer heels, white teeth, perfect hair and make up, and maintaining gorgeous bodies. I know I have discovered so much more about myself and what I am capable of. Being a Miss Universe Malaysia finalist is an experience I will always cherish (notwithstanding the feet blisters, running on 3-4 hours sleep for a month, managing work expectations, and the constant pressure of competing with 17 other ambitious, beautiful girls). I am better person now from my pageant experience, and that new-found confidence and belief in myself is something that cannot be taken away from me.

How’s this for an opening statement… “Australian workplaces have never been angrier or more disillusioned…” This came from an article in Australian magazine, BRW (July 22-28) by Leo D’Angelo Fisher, who was rightly pointing out that Australian workers are being pushed to their limits will little or no reward.

“Organisations are leaner and meaner,” he goes on to state. “More responsibilities are being shifted onto fewer shoulders; working hours are getting longer but salaries are not moving… And for all that there’s no thanks from the boss.” His argument, is that while employees were keen to pitch in and lend an extra hand during the tough times, now, companies are potentially “taking the piss”.

So isn’t it time you looked at the state of your staff? The signs of discontent are glaringly obvious. Excessive lateness, increased sick leave, increased absenteeism, excessive churn rates and the list goes on. I even heard a statistic quoted in the media that the average length of employment in one company by an individual is two to five years! Long term or lifetime positions are as dead as the Tasmanian Tiger!

Most employers scoff… I remember my boss once saying, “… if you walked out the door tomorrow there would be 10 blokes who could take your place in an instant.” But realistically, what is poor morale and the constant churn rate doing to your bottom line? It’s well documented that the cost of retraining and the loss of productivity in the first few months when replacing a staff member is huge… so why not do your best to eliminate it?

D’Angelo Fisher, further into the article does point out that there is “… no reason employers cannot make their workplace more fulfilling and envigorating,” he says. “Switched-on employers know that a satisfied workforce is more productive than disengaged one.” And that’s where a corporate wellness provider can help.

A good quality provider will come into your office and assess the health and well being levels of your staff. They will identify key areas where staff are really feeling the pinch (a recent survey by Corporate Wellness Australia revealed 53% of workers feel they are highly stressed most of the time!) and will provide a solution to suit.

Why not give it a go… I also just recalled a saying a mentor used to stress to me… “It’s always later than you think!” Don’t wait till your bottom line drops like a stone in a bucket!

Do you need a coffee to wake up in the morning? Do you need a sugar hit in the afternoon to avoid the arvo slump? Well you are not alone. In our fast paced world, we all feel the need to be our best at every moment. We need lots of energy to perform at our best and it is easy to turn to artificial stimulants to keep us running at full pace, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Changing your diet can make a big difference to your energy levels. Below are some simple tips that will keep your energy levels up and raring to go.

Never Skip Breakfast

The most important meal of the day for energy levels. Eating breakfast will kick start your metabolism. The danger of skipping breakfast is that there is more chance of binging later in the day as your energy levels drop.

Eat small meals more often

Eating smaller amounts more often means that you are less likely to overeat.

Go easy on sugary foods

It may seem like a sugar hit mid afternoon will keep your energy levels up. The initial energy spike is soon followed by an energy slump as your blood sugar levels drop. Sugary foods provide little or no nutrients and contain empty calories, which does nothing for those trying to maintain a healthy weight.

Steady on the carbs

Having a meal piled high with refined carbohydrates can really cause your energy levels to drop. Eating large amounts of refined carbohydrates causes your insulin levels to rise and your blood sugar levels to drop leaving you tired and lethargic. Better carb choices are whole grain breads, brown rice and beans or lentils.

Eat iron rich foods

Women often don’t eat enough iron rich foods. Iron is important nutrient that helps with the quality of your blood and in return, your energy levels. Foods high in iron are lean meats, leafy green vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and molasses. Lesser sources are strawberries, green peas, chicken, salmon, almonds, avocados, egg yolks and wheat bran.

Eat protein

Adding protein to your daily meals is a great way to keep you fuller for longer and help keep your brain ticking over in the afternoon. Protein is the second most abundant substance in the body and is vital for all your organs, including brain function. In adults protein deficiency may result in lack of vigour and stamina, mental depression, weakness and poor resistance to infection. Try snacking in between meals on quick and easy high protein treats. Almonds, brazil nuts, pecans, walnuts, yoghurt, small tins of tuna and protein drink are all fantastic ways to keep your alert all day.

Drink plenty of water

Water is the most plentiful substance in the body. It is important in every function of the body, so making sure we drink enough water is crucial to having our body and brain working at optimum level. Most people don’t drink enough water. There are many symptoms of being dehydrated. One of them is tiredness. One way to work out how much water you should be drinking every day is to times your weight in Kilograms by 0.333 and that will be your amount.

Sleep plenty

Nothing beats 7-8 hours of sleep a night for feeling great all day. Aim for going to bed and getting up at the same time each day.

Exercise!

Boost your energy levels with a 30-minute walk three times a week. Three weights sessions per week will really get your metabolism charging and keep you feeling energised.

When purchasing a magazine subscription for a loved one or friend it can be difficult to know what is best suited to the person who you’re purchasing for. I’ve written the following article to help aid you in your decision. I hope this helps.

A magazine subscription can be a great gift for someone who is difficult to purchase for. Not only is it a present which will come month on month but everyone enjoys magazines.

For someone who enjoys fashion and celebrity gossip (possible younger woman and teenagers) a great magazine for the may be heat, grazia, closer or more. All these magazines appear to have the typical discussion topics; fashion, dieting and celebrities. This type of magazine may not be suitable for old woman who enjoy a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle. Obviously this type of magazine also wouldn’t interest the majority of men.

For a woman who’s expecting a new born or has recently given birth a great gift would be a mother and baby related magazine. This type of magazine will give reviews on baby products, answer any concerns or questions she may have and tips and advice for general care. Don’t forget that obviously this magazine wouldn’t be suitable for someone who actually has got children.

For young men the perfect magazine would be something similar to Zoo, FHM or Arena Homme Plus. Be careful with some of these magazines and so contain picture of a sexual nature. For younger lads this may not be appropriate or for other men it may offend partners or wives. Certain men’s magazines are aimed at informing men on fashion, fragrances and many more topics. Some magazines are purely pictures of a sexual nature along with car reviews. Choose wisely dependent on the recipient.

I hope this article has helped and don’t forget that when you purchase magazine subscriptions that you can save money with voucher codes.

It seems that every year thousands of people fall victim to online dating scammers, and most don’t figure out what’s happened until the damage has been done and it’s far too late to do much about it. The scams are as wide and varied as the imagination will allow, but typically fall into four basic categories:

The Nigerian 419 eMail Scam

Travel Scam

Prostitution Scam

Phone Scam

The stories are almost too good to be true. A beautiful girl. She finds you so hot, so incredibly attractive; you have that certain kindness in your eyes and she can tell that you are a very good man who will treat her right. She tells you that she can’t live another moment without you and destiny commands you both be together. Sure, you might be in your late 60’s, broke, living in a trailer park with your mother. But none of that seems to matter to her…you are truly meant to be together.

But there’s a problem (often you are baited into the problem through the course of a few messages). And this is where trusting, kind gentlemen fall victim.

The Nigerian 419 Scam is one in which the person contacting you poses as some sort of official, either a government official, a lawyer, a doctor, a politician, or some other role that sounds credible, and represents themselves as being in control of millions of dollars. Millions of dollars that they can’t access without your help. Somehow, they managed to find you, and somehow you are the only person in the world that can help them access this vast fortune. The problem: there is a fee of some sort (finder’s fee, storage fee, pay-off fee, transportation fee, bank fee – insert your fee here) that needs to be paid first and they just don’t have the money to cover it.

If you “lend” them the money or pay the fee on their behalf, not only will they repay it to you when the fortune is released to them, they’ll also share the fortune with you as a reward for your incredible kindness.

The scam: There is no fortune. The person is lying to you. If you pay, you’ll never see your money or the so-called official again.

The Travel Scam works like this: You’ve signed up on a foreign dating site (or even a local one). You’ve met an absolutely gorgeous gal – the woman of your dreams. She’s so beautiful that she could be featured on the cover of Maxim or FHM. And the bonus – she’s fallen madly in love with you. Again, age or looks just doesn’t seem to matter because love can overlook anything, or so she says. After a few messages she tells you that she absolutely MUST see you. The problem: She doesn’t have the money to travel.

The scam: At some point she will ask you to help her to buy a ticket, or she will turn the tables on you and have you ask her if you can help buy her a ticket. And there will be some problem that prevents you from actually buying the ticket on her behalf and sending it to her. She’ll have to conduct the purchase transaction herself, either with your credit card number (you’re so damned trusting!) or with cash that you send her. Give up either and you’ll never see your money or the girl again.

The Prostitution Scam is probably one of the easiest of them all to spot. The girl’s profile will be racy beyond belief. She’ll definitely take pride in showing off her assets (tits and ass my friend, tits and ass) and she’ll discuss all the incredible sexual things that she loves without blushing for a beat. You’ll think you hit the jackpot! And again, age or looks won’t seem to matter much to her. The problem: Well, there isn’t really much of a problem. She’ll perform any sexual act you want.

The scam: You think you’ve found love, but she’s found a wallet. If you’re into paying for sex, then there’s not much of a problem here. If you’re looking for love, no matter what you pay her, you’re wasting your time.

And finally, the Phone Scam. This one’s almost as old as the Nigerian 419 Scam. You meet the gal of your dreams. Again, she’s beautiful beyond belief. Magazine quality good looks. And again, she doesn’t care one bit about your age or looks. The messages will be hot and steamy and she’ll really get a rise out of you (get it? A rise?) At some point she’ll tell you that you must talk, she craves the sound of your voice, she can’t continue to go on without hearing you live. The problem: She gives you a foreign phone number or a phone number with an unusual area code.

The scam: 900 numbers are not the only numbers that can charge you exorbitant per-minute usage fees. Many other numbers can be set up and the fees charged depend on the owner of the number. A short phone call can end up costing you hundreds of dollars and there won’t be much sympathy coming from the phone company.

As I mentioned, the scams are as wide and varied as the imagination will allow. But there is something you can do to prevent becoming a victim. And reading this article has been your first step. The next step is to recognize the patterns of the scams. Beautiful women that otherwise wouldn’t contact you on their own (without you first initiating contact). A lack of concern for age, looks, or distance. And believe me, a drop-dead gorgeous 20 year old Maxim model does NOT want to date a 45 year old balding overweight “dude” that lives in a trailer park with his mom. She falls madly, head-over-heels in love with you within just a few short messages. And there’s a problem.

If you see any of these signs, chances are it’s a scam and moving forward will only set you up as a victim.

To prevent falling victim, don’t give out personal information including your name, address, email and phone number, and for crying out loud, don’t give out or release financial information or send money! Do your research. If she gives you a phone number, Google it to see what comes up. Check out the dating site forums to see if anyone’s reported scams and what the nature of the scams are. If your contact seems to align with a reported scam…bank on it being a scam too.

All over the world sports figures are celebrated, cheered and revered. It is no surprise then that some of the most popular publications, both local and international, are sports magazines. In this article we’re going to take a look down under and discuss some of the most popular sports magazines in Australia.

As you might expect, the topic or theme of a national sports magazine will naturally depend on which sports are popular in that nation. So, what are the most popular sports in Australia?

The two most popular organized sports for Aussies are football (Australian Rules) and Cricket. Both have multiple leagues and divisions for amateurs and pros and important matches are often televised. With several world ranked courses and clubs, Golf is also an extremely popular sport in Australia. While soccer, the world’s most popular sport, has always taken a back seat to Australian rules football. Other popular organized sports include: rowing, netball, volleyball, and basketball. As for nautical sports, swimming and surfing are obviously very popular in Australia. There is also, as we mentioned, rowing, sailing, and sport fishing.

Now that we know what sports Aussies like to play, we will take a look at what sports they like to read about.

Inside Sport is the country’s number one sports magazine. The publication is not sport specific, but rather focuses on all of Australia’s top sports from surfing to golf to football to rugby. The popular magazine features in depth profiles and interviews with both national and international sports stars. It also devotes a portion of its content to international sports stories. Readers of Inside Sport have come to expect the very best in sports photography and journalism and they are seldom disappointed.

Australian Golf Digest is the nation’s most popular golf magazine and has been for over 35 years. In the pages of this quality periodical you will find interviews with golfing stars and legends as well as profiles of highly-toted prospects.

Australian Rugby News & Review is the country’s most popular rugby magazine. It has won several awards for its stories on both domestic and international rugby coverage.

Rugby League Player is a national magazine that focuses on Australia’s three Rugby leagues. It provides league and player stats and full coverage of important match up, as well as occasional interviews with top league players.

Australian Triathlete is the official magazine of the Ironman Australian Triathlon. It is published eight times a year and covers of all of the top local, national, and international races. The magazine also offers training tips and advice for both amateur and competitive triathletes.

Tracks is Australia’s most popular surfing magazine and has been on the stands for over 30 year now. Each issue transports readers to some of the most exciting and exotic surfing locales both at home and abroad. It also let’s them know what’s happening on the pro-circuit.

Here are the biggest news, sport and entertainment stories of 1994…

English and Welsh people welcomed a change in the law meant that meant they could go shopping on Sundays. Since 1950 they had not been able to do so due to a law prohibiting shops opening at all on the traditionally holy day. Church groups opposed the move but both the people and the Government agreed that it was an outdated concept.

Britain’s first ever national lottery was launched to mixed reactions; some feeling that it was wrong to promote gambling and others simply loving the chance to win some easy money. The fact that a sizeable amount of money each week would be going to charities was enough to sweeten enough of the doubters though and, having got the go-ahead, the first draw was a massive success; the jackpot reaching over £7m.

Someone who won a personal lottery was the man to be given a ‘bionic’ heart. The media taking a keen interest in the pioneering operation, led by UK doctors in Cambridgeshire, which saw the world’s first battery-operated heart being implanted.

In the political world, people finally dared to hope for peace in Northern Ireland following ceasefire announcements by both the IRA and the Loyalists; the Conservatives negotiating at last seeming to have paid off. Despite that, it wasn’t a great year for John Major and company, though maybe they didn’t realize it at the time, as the little known, fresh-faced Tony Blair was brought in as the new leader of the opposing Labour Party; bringing with him talk of ‘change’ and a modernising agenda.

Sports wise in 1994, Britain missed out on the World Cup fun in the USA; the first time since 1938 that no British representatives had been at the event. Brazil won that competition, eventually overcoming Italy in the final on penalties, but much attention was still focused on Argentina’s Diego Maradona who had been banned mid-tournament after being caught taking illegal, performance-enhancing drugs. With no home-countries football matches having any importance, it was an ideal opportunity for rugby union’s 5 nations to take centre stage. Wales dominated the tournament but were prevented from sealing a ‘grandslam’ by defeat to England in their final game.

Britain’s TV screens were lit up in ‘94 by two familiar faces in new guises on BBC 2. Steve Coogan’s creation of the socially-inappropriate Alan Partridge being a big hit, viewers cringing as Partridge humiliated and vilified his guests on the fictional chat show program ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’. The second BBC triumph being ‘The Fast Show’; created by Harry Enfield regular Paul Whitehouse, the program revitalised the tired sketch show format and launched a variety of catchphrases.

On the big screen, this was the year that saw Hugh Grant become a household name as a result of his starring role in ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’; the same film also responsible for promoting the much loved / hated ‘Wet Wet Wet’ song ‘Love Is All Around’. The hippest movie of 1994 was Quentin Tarrantino’s gangster flick ‘Pulp Fiction’. Telling the intertwining tales of two mob hit men, a boxer, a gangster’s wife, and a pair of diner bandits, this was all about violence and redemption.

When the WHI’s study on HRT (Hormone Replacement

Therapy) was halted prematurely due to health concerns for

its participants, the United States’ 45 million menopausal

women were left to fend for themselves. Some kicked HRT

cold-turkey, suffering the immediate and ferocious

onslaught of hot flashes, night sweats and heart

palpitations. Others remained on HRT choosing the threat

of increased risks of many fatal diseases over the

unpleasantness of menopausal symptoms. Still others

sought alternative treatments and remedies to help cope

with the hormonal changes.

In a culture that celebrates youth more than any other

society in the world, millions of women have been forced to

look aging square in the crow’s footed eye. Ever since the

menopause cure was yanked from women’s grasps how

are they coping? As Marilyn Kentz and Nancy Alspaugh say

in their book Not Your Mother’s Midlife, “All you need is a

sense of perspective and a sense of humor…”

With that philosophy in mind, a growing trend of

menopausal entertainment and community highlights one

very important medical fact: FUN is the safest prescription

for menopause. A slew of clubs, websites, theatrical

productions and even a pop–up book, all dedicated to

menopause and aging, have cropped up; proving that when

all else fails, a menopausal woman can always feel better

by having a good time.

In the Red Hat Society, a country-wide community

organization, gangs of 50+ women clad in red hats descend

on malls, coffee shops, restaurants and even national

talk-shows, and act the way they wish they had when they

were younger. The message is clear: aging women are not

ready to shrivel up and die just yet.

MenOpop is the world’s first menopause pop-up and activity

book that with its 3-D pop-up uterus, The Menopause Fairy

and MenOland –The Board Game, lets menopausal women

and their friends and family laugh and play through

understanding menopause.

Keep your eye on the theatre, and you’ll see the national tour

of “Menopause the Musical.” Menopause is even infiltrating

your computer through entertainment websites devoted to

hot flashing and mood swinging. Currently online there is

[http://www.minnipauz.com], which features humorous cartoons

and http://www.menopop.com, an entertainment website where

it’s “cool to be hot.” A companion to the pop-up book, it

features online video games, virtual paper dolls, a

print-and-make-your-own pop-up bookmark, and community

tip-swapping.

So, join the fun and try this new approach for yourself with

the MenO “Pop-Quiz”:

1. How many women are going through menopause right

now?

A. Just you.

B. You and a guest.

C. Millions, and millions, and millions, and you.

2. What happens after menopause?

A. There’s something after menopause?

B. People no longer cower when you enter the room.

C. You find yourself making finger puppets out of your

unused tampons.

3. What are the warning signs that you are menopausal?

A. You are surrounded by idiots.

B. You’re looking forward to the next Ice Age

C. What was the question, again?

Answers: (there are no answers, just many many more

questions…)

Camouflage clothing once was the clothing of the military exclusively. You just didn’t see it in your everyday life. I have seen cargo pants, cargo shorts, tee shirts, baseball caps, sneakers, the list goes on and on.

Most people don’t notice the clothing. It has become common place. I have seen the construction workers across from my home wearing woodland or city camouflage cargo shorts. Have you seen the area landscapers lately? Cargo shorts from what I’ve seen, seem to be there favorites. How about walking thru your local mall? Kids seem to be wearing the camo tee shirts, pants and sneakers.

My daughter who attends the area dance school recently put on there year end dance recital. Guess how they dressed for one of there numbers. They wore an olive drab tee shirt with camouflage shorts and camo sneakers. They danced and looked great!

Camouflage clothing is being worn by the stars as well. Rapper Eminem recently did a photo shoot for XXL Magazine. He did the shoot in Black B.D.U. Pants. I’ve seen Leeann Tweeden in FHM Magazine in a camouflage bikini and camouflage spandex tee shirt. The list goes on and on.

Military clothing comes in woodland camouflage to stinger yellow camouflage colors. There are many colors for you to choose from. Solid colors are also available to those who are conservative in there dress. Not only is military clothing comfortable, it is fashionable! So when you go to the mall, walk down the street, go to a club, check out the clothing. Bet you will see a lot of camouflage.
