Nothing struck bitter than a tragedy...

Well, things going on in the contest was fun and exciting, enjoyed making new friends and knowing them. Things were great until an incident happened actually...

To put things simple..There was a miscommunication between a share broker and me, which resulted a loss of 8K plus of my savings. I have always been a person who is always bounded with financial issues, ever since the day i signed on in the SAF. Supporting the family and pulling everything together, and i hardly have any chance to truly enjoy the fruit of my hard labour per se. Finally, the day i came out of SAF with a sum of savings, thinking that i could use that to generate some income, and to survive the world out there, things happened. Everything was fine until then..It was so big a struggle that i was thinking if coming of SAF was the right choice. WTH! I started to doubt the calling, and especially i was taking part in a contest on TV.

Slowly, the rest of the days in the contest, i struggled to keep myself 'alive'. The whole incident affected me emotionally and mentally, and i just can't concentrate on each segment. Fashion sense was up next, and i remembered that i didn't really think much of what to dress my 'model' up. I went into a shop and saw a nice full set of outfit on a mannequin, i told the sale assistant that i wanted the whole set to don on my 'model'. Well, i thought he looked ok after all, but not to the judges' point of view..I didn't really fare well for this round, but i wasn't really bothered with it. If i am not in for the semis, so be it..

Christmas and New Year were round the corner, and i wasn't at the best mood of all. When came to Thanksgiving dinner, i was like...don't ask me questions man! I was struggling to thank God for about something. Gosh! I thought i will get it thru somehow, but it was not easy. Bills pilling up and questions started coming in..Next i knew, it's 2010! Elimination round came, and somehow i was through to the semis, which i think was because i scored quite high for the Guts challenge..Nonetheless, the worse was yet to come as the challenges of the contest came...thought i should be quite braced up for the challenges ahead, but i was wrong...
