(I apologized for the delayed posting of my story, as I was pretty tied up with work lately and for the coming month as well. Please have patience with me and I will try to do my best to keep my post updated)
Over the air, the MC announced: " Contestants, you have 20 minutes to complete your haircuts and your time begins NOW...........!when i heard that, my hands and legs are all shaking and trembling and I not sure if the audiences had noticed that or not. I began to lock my knees as I cant bend then because whenever I bend them, they start to tremble. So I reckon I looked kinda weird standing and cutting hair in that position.
I remembered what my mentor told me and I tried to take a peek at the audiences. It was pretty scary to find that so many people were looking at you. I gave out a smile and to my surprise, the audiences cheered and clapped and cameras' flash started flashing away. Oh my God, that was awesome, that kind of feeling makes you feel like a superstar or some kind of celebrities. Five minutes into the cutting, the judges started to walk around the stage, accessing our hair cutting technique and creation. To be honest, I didn't quite remember the judges' names as I was nervous and breaking in cold sweat that I did not even bother to know who they are.
As they walked around me, they looked so serious. While they were looking at the way I cut, they keep mumbling to each other and pointing to the left and right side of my model. As soon as they walked away, I quickly ran in front of my model and checked my haircut but I can't seems to find anything wrong with that. So, I walked back and continue my haircut on my model. The MC announced that we had 10 minutes left for our hair cut and at this point of time, I had only completed about 50% of my hair cut. Pressure started to step in and I tried to increase my speed of cutting. That was when the worst fear of mine which I thought of everyday prior to the competition happened...........
