My whole body is aching- my abs, my back and my arms. Must be the weights and crunches that i did yesterday. I am how unfit now, i nearly died after a few crunches and my abs hurt like hell. They used to be so much stronger in the past when i did like 30 mins of ab work every night. I think my focus is always changing. I used to train my arms pretty much until i thought that the muscles made them look bigger. Then i switched to doing ab work cos i've got a big tummy that bloats and makes me look pregnant after my meals. However, i realised that it's not working as there is this layer of fats that hide my abs. So, i started running and now my stamina is rather good. But my abs are gone! I decided to train up on every part of my body yesterday and now im aching everywhere, except for my legs.

Watched the encore of Miss Singapore Universe last night and some of them were really fugly. There was one who was rather fat and i had no idea how she ended up in the top 18. But the standard this year improved overall, you see more girls with abs instead of just flat but flabby tummies. I don't see why cheryl cheong is miss body beautiful at all, but my guess is that they awarded her this title cos of her big boobs. During the swimwear round,we could see that most of the girls are really flat-chested but when cheryl cheong came out, wah! My favorites were jade seah and michelle tsai though, they looked so sweet and pretty.

It was the Q&A part that makes me feel so embarrased that one of them is going to represent us in Miss Universe held in los angeles, california somewhere in july this year.I felt so sorry for some of them cos they didnt know what they were talking about and ended up rephrasing the questions instead of answering them. I recognise that some of the questions were really tough and i doubt i would be able to answer them, but im not a contestant for Miss Universe. What about the part about them being gorgeous ladies with poise and intelligence? Some of them simply manifest themselves as bimbos and their answeres made me cringed. It was no surprise that they didnt make it to top 5.

This reminded me of Miss USA which i watched last year. Some of the contestants participated in Fear Factor and one of them was really, omg, bimbotic. They were supposed to complete some disgusting tasks involving fish oil and our dear little miss bimbo( kinda obvious cos she's a blonde and was in cheerleading) was like asking " you mean fishes have oil?!?!?" .I could tell that the host was trying damn hard not to roll his eyes while i was laughing my guts out. Hello? heard of cod liver oil?

Which girl doesnt wish to be Miss Universe and be the awe of other girls? I would, just that im too short and flabby and ugly. However, what does the title really signify? Does it go deeper than the superficial? Most people watching the show would only comment on the physical appearances of the contestants, few would really look beyond the surface and question their intelligence and capabilities. But well, it's just the way it works, beauty does give you an unfair advantage up to a certain level. Ah, that was the question last night. I forgot how she answered it but i remembered that it was answered in an odd manner.Something about beauty being subjective.

Im looking forward to Miss Universe 2006, it should be of higher standards.
