Resolution #2 is proving to be quite difficult to maintain. Especially when I'm watching Malaysia's Most Beautiful (MMB). Yes i know i shouldn't be watching so much crap, but heck, i already started watching it and i'm kinda hooked. Aiyor i'm so lauya.

But anyway, as of last night, there were 4 contestants left.

Ah heck la i'm gonna bash. It's not 2006 yet. I have 2 days left to do so.

Jessy - the ahlian who is quite funny sometimes- other times, she's just so, ditzy and a bit tak sedar diri?
Faridah- mature woman who is well, erm ...matured
Hani - nice girl next door type but a bit lembik
Jue - NOT a very good representation of a Malaysian muslim female.

Oklah, actually it's not the contestants that i am bashing about. They are what they are.

Isn't it sad that the person who will win this contest will ultimately be THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN in Malaysia?

I shudder to think that one of the four will be the most cantik one inside and outside.

For example, if Jue wins, her fans/friends/supporters will of course say that she won because of her beauty, talent, warmth etc.

But on the other hand, she's a muslim for God's sake. Sudah la tak tutup aurat, she was practically prancing around last night and shaking her booty, until my bf actually commented that she was trying to show off her boobs! That does not make her beautiful from a religious point of view. And i'm not even a muslim some more!

So how the hell do we define beauty? No one can specifically pin point and draw a guideline as to what is beautiful or not.

To think that the winner will get a condo, jewellery and cash , all amounting to more than RM300++ k. And imagine the amount of money spent on producing such a show.

On the other hand we have a 12 year old indian girl who takes a 1.5 hour walk to school every morning and who studies at night using the lamp post outside her house. (She managed to score straight As for her UPSR by the way). RM300++k would have gone a LONG way for her.

And what about the orang Asli settlement issue not too long ago. Forgot the details but the gist of it was that they had no proper satination, electricity and they actually bathe in water that has rubbish floating in it! Kids there are not provided with proper education and food.

What about the countless homes and shelters around the country that RM300k could have provided them with?

So what now? Make the most cantik one sell her condo and donate to charity?

Nola, my point is that better use could have been done with that money. Instead of producing some show that "defines" what is deemed as beautiful.

And don't even get me started on that RM1.5 m painting that someone from some airline company purchased. That would cause me to bash even more.

After all this, the saddest part is that i am actually going to watch MMB til the very end.

Someone please smack me.
