#179 - Miss Universe 2006

ENGLISH

I guess most people know this beauty pageant contest,
Miss Universe, which this year is gonnabe held in Los Angeles, CA, next Sunday night (or Monday morning here).

Indonesia's ambassador, the winner of Putri Indonesia 2005,
Nadine Chandrawinata also takes part in that prestigious competition. Based on the votes at this site, Nadine gets the highest number of votes with 20,258 votes which is equal with 16% of the total votes that has been casted. Me, personally, have no problem if Nadine wins that competition, because I think that can make Indonesia proud, after months and months wrestling with disasters... . BUT, I don't think Nadine is gonnabe crowned that title easily. Why?? Because, beside her competitors are also great, I think Nadine is not fairly "smart" to win the competition, I think, she wins the title Putri Indonesia 2005 is not pretty fair enough. If I'm not mistaken, in the show Putri Indonesia pageant 2005 last year, in the top 6, she didn't give a correct and good answer, but she was not eliminated in that stage (there were some other contestants who answered a lot better than her, but got eliminated). However, I admit that in the finale, she answered greatly. In the interview session for Miss Universe this year, she also didn't speak English fairly well, this problem probably can be overcome because they must have translators, but as a Miss Universe, I think each contestant should master English as an international language.... . Probably (and hopefully) she was nervous at that time and hopefully she can give great answer next Sunday. Well, I dunno what to write anymore, let's watch the show next Sunday/Monday.... :)

BAHASA INDONESIA

Menurutku setiap orang pasti tahu kontes kecantikan ini,
Miss Universe, yang tahun ini akan diadakan di Los Angeles, CA, besok Minggu malam (atau Senin pagi disini).

Wakil Indonesia, pemenang Putri Indonesia 2005,
Nadine Chandrawinata juga ambil bagian dalam acara yang bergengsi ini. Berdasarkan voting di website ini, Nadine mendapatkan suara terbanyak dengan 20.258 suara yang setara dengan 16% dari total / keseluruhan suara yang sudah terhitung. Aku, secara personal, nggak ada masalah koq kalau Nadine memenangkan kompetisi ini, soalnya menurutku itu dapat membuat Indonesia bangga, setelah bulan demi bulan bergulat dengan bencana.... .TETAPI, aku kira Nadine susah untuk dimahkotai titel itu. Kenapa?? Soalnya, di samping saingan yang tentu aja berat, menurutku Nadine nggak "sepandai" itu untuk memenangkan kompetisi, menurutku, dia memenangkan Putri Indonesia 2005pun juga nggak terlalu adil deh. Kalau aku nggak salah, di pertunjukan Putri Indonesia 2005 setahun yang lalu, di 6 besar, dia nggak memberikan jawaban yang benar dan baik, tapi dia nggak tersisih dari panggung (ada beberapa kontestan lain yang menjawab lebih baik dari dia tetapi tereliminasi). Memang di final dia menjawab dengan baik sih. Dalam sesi wawancara untuk acara Miss Universe tahun ini pun, dia juga nggak ngomong Bahasa Inggris bagus, masalah ini mungkin memang bisa diatasi dengan bantuan penerjemah, tapi sebagai Miss Universe, menurutku sebaiknya setiap kontestan kan menguasai Bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa internasional... . Mungkin (dan semoga) dia kemarin grogi sih, semoga aja besok dia akan memberikan jawaban yang hebat besok Minggu... . Hmm, nggak tau nih mau nulis apa lagi, mendingan besok hari Minggu/Senin nonton acaranya aja deh.... :)
