Subject: OOOOh Indonesia...... Nadine pleeeease dech

This is an interview of Nadine Chandrawinata, Miss Indonesia who participates in Miss Universe 2006.
I could not help but laught... yet my heart sank when watching the video!
Having an accent is not a problem… making some minor grammatical mistakes is forgivable…. but saying that "my admirer is Mother Theresa" and, worse, "Indonesia is a beautiful city"……ouch… is too much!! And there're more stupid things popped up in her interview such as "…in 10 years… I see myself simply as a Nadine…" Oh, my, my!
 
For country representatives, being able to speak English properly, if not fluently, in my opinion, is a must. And sometimes, it's better to speak in your own language — meaning: having an interpreter — rather than forcing yourself to speak English just to put an egg on your face. And hey, not only on your face, but on the face of your country!
 
Yes, Nadine is so beautiful and has a great figure. But come on… many beautiful Indonesian women can do better than her! Or, alternatively, Nadine can take an intensive course enabling her to at least speak less embarrasing English before participating in international events (or, did she? perhaps she did!). But hey, why do some Indonesian media say that she speaks English and German fluently?!?

I checked into some other contestants' videos. They didn't do such shameful interviews. Contestants from neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Thailand definitely did better. Some who don't speak English well, such as Misses China and Kazakhstan, chose to speak in their own languages… saved them from embarrasment.

Anyway… better stop rambling. Check the video and read the transcription below. Enjoy, laugh and cry!
