Indonesia is a land where there are many beautiful and intelligent women but why, oh why, do they have to choose Nadine Chandrawinata to be the country’s representative?![]()
As my colleague Be Kind, Rewind has wiritten in his blog, Nadin does not exactly embody the intelligence part of what a Miss Universe contestant should be. She may have Beauty and Body but Brains? And here we are not talking about just someone struggling with a second langage but a thought process.
Another friend wrote me to say:
Okay, I think this is sooooo embarrassing.
Miss Indonesia (Nadine Chandrawinata) says Indonesia is a city. Hello???
You should check that link to her interview video, definitely you will laugh and cry.“My admirer is Mother Theresa… so I really adore at her…” ???
“I want to work for the Unicef so i can be more active and give more attention for them” (What a perfect candidate for Unicef)
“Indonesia is a beautiful city.. so, you should go there to visit by yourself, because we have a lot of beautiful bitch…es” (beaches?)Let’s not talk about the controversies of wearing bikini or not at the Miss Universe 2006 stage, but please get her some English 101 first thing first before sending her to Los Angeles!!!
Contestants from neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Thailand definitely did better. Some who don’t speak English well, such as Miss China and Miss Kazakhstan, chose to speak in their own languages… saved them from embarrassment.And why do some Indonesian media say that she speaks English and German fluently?!?
Doh.
But don’t take anyone’s word for it. Check out Nadine’s performance yourself from her videoclip at the Miss Universe Website and let the readers here know what you think by posting a comment.
