Since my family is an ordinary KadazanDusun family, they must at least send one of their children to join Unduk Ngadau a.k.a Beauty Peagent contest. It's not like an ordinary beauty peagent you see in the TVo (you will not judge by your height and your beauty). To be an Unduk Ngadau, you have to be smart, soft, and posses the characteristics of Huminodun (KadazanDusun believe she is the daughter of the gods' who sacrifice herself for the sake of human being).
But unfortunately, the competition nowadays are being exploited by the image of models and all. It seems like the competition loss the essence of the traditional feelings. But whatsoever, can you see me? I'm contestant number 6. yes. the short one. I'm wearing outfit from the Rungus clan (if i'm not mistaken).I've join Unduk Ngadau twice, not including the one i join when im young like....kindegarten age. Some of the contestant really bothers me. Staring me like i owe her money. She stares at every contestant actually. She and her "Wannabe" groups of friends (The contestants are divided into 3 groups : the Wannabe, the LoneRanger-No friend, and the "Down to Earth and Pretty" where im at). She always talk about how many competition she joins (yet, she still lose.boohoo!). And i'm strongly convince she feels irritated when i answer the question correctly and in full KadazanDusun language.
I didn't win though. But my friend did.1st runner-up also goes to my friend. Both of them from the "Down to Earth and Pretty" group. Boohoo Wannabe! I got third place, which im quite surprise since im short.Hooray to "Down to Earth and Pretty" group! We win three places!
Anyway, it's not the result that matters. In my family's eyes, I WON. :)
