Hello!
Today i had said i'd meet up with uncle Alan because i needed a suite for tomorrow's Louis Vuitton casting.
But first i had to go to the agency and get my measurements taken for the Mr.International Indonesia thingy :P
So i went there and i hate taking measurements cause i feel so stupid and i always wish i were bigger ahhaa XD Gotta go to the gym more, gonna buy some protein shakes as well :P
anyway, i really like the people at the agency so it's always fun to just hang around there a while :P
Well after that i gave Alan a call and arranged to meet him at 5pm, the time was 3pm so i figured i would have time to head to the gym, which i did.
then i went to the shopping mall called "Bugis" and met Alan who was checking out some digital cameras hehe.
We decided to eat at swensen's (Not swedish food, american :P)
And wow, i ordered the MEga Burger . . . which was quite a mouthfull! I love it though ahha :D (And mom, i forced alan to let me pay for the meal. . . howver he made up for it pretty quickly as will follow haha)
I crave MEAT! i crave VIKING food!
Ah well, after that i got to try on the suite he brought (Which was his) and strangely enough. . .. it fit perfectly. . .. . so that's great now i don't need to go spend money on stupid suite pants which i'll never wear anyway :P
HOOOOWEEEEVEEEER!
Alan reminded me of several other things i needed for the casting hahahahha, so i ended up buying a pair of dressshoes and a white shirt from billabong (No other store had what i was looking for >.<)
Alan also wanted me to buy a belt for the dress pants, but i didn't hehe.
Well, he paid for the shoes and for half the shirt. .. . so i guess i'm back to oweing him hehe.
Well after that i went home and now i'm here. . .. i also ate a pizza for my second dinner. . . .. i dunno what's with singapore i'm just soooo frreakin hungry ALL the time. . . all i do in singapore is eat eat eat. . .. in fact i'm freakin hungry again now that i think of it, and i just ate a pizza 2 hours ago. . .. . Must be the heat hehe
Oh btw, when i was at the agency i also found out that i'll be having a fitting for the ESPRIT show on friday, I will be having one more testshoot with the ever so charming marie, i will also go together with Jane (My Boss) and Jemmy (One of my model friends) to go rent suites for me n jemmy for the Mr.Indonesia thingy and finally i also found out that the louis vuitton show is in malaysia.
AAAAAND that about wraps it up hehe
Love
Alex
PS.
Farfar:
Thank you Ivar, i feel so much more safer now that you check on my computer a little now and then, so atleast it's functioning perfectly, that sounds good haha

The battlefield is open for your usage, not sure whether or not Battlefield 2 is installed though, it should be, but i'm only certain that Battlefield 2142 is installed. . . otherwise just go ahead and install it!
Mom:

So i jump start the day and get there at 14.30, but i had already called them and said i'd be late :P
Nothing much more exciting than that has happened today :P

Chocolate. . .. so much chocolate
Helluuuu!
ok well i'm pretty sure you guys are familiar with how a catwalk works by now so i won't go into unnecessary detail and write an uber long post again hehe.
But the show this time was for the same people that i did those really gay fantasy shows for ahha, so as anticipated it involved a loooooooot of makeup hahaha.
Well the day started at 10am, and i hadn't gotten much sleep so i was tired as shiiiiiet and as always it was excruciating to wake up at 8am hehe.
I got there and met up with Anastasia and Ivana (I tend to always be the first person to arrive :P) Then came the others and 15 minutes after 10am Champ arrived (He always tends to come really really late haha ;), so that's when we started rehearsing.
And wow. .. the sequences this time were crazy, it was really go there, pose then there pose, wait for her, go there pose, go there pose, wait for this bit in the song, walk there pose, wait there until the second person has walked away. . .. and yadda yadda you get the point it was insane haha
People were laughing at how confusing it was, but after like 10+ rehearsals it stuck and we did it more or less flawlessly. . .. more or LESS. . . .
Then i went off and met up with the relatives for a bite to eat.
I realized it would be pointless to head back to Wiley's place because i would just have to go off again as soon as i got there. So instead i met up with Champ and played some computer games at a nearby internet cafe.
Then we came back to the mall where we got makeup .. . . a lot of makeup. . . . as usual in the central mall shows haha.
Then. . .we just kinda hung around backstage until 6pm. It was nice though, most of the models were there and they're all great people.
Me n Champ were the only two guys btw, 6 girls.
The show was really like cutesy theme with chocolate hats and candy and what not haha
Some of the girls actually had chocolate earrings and chocolate necklaces. . . .
But you can guess how chocolate survives in singapore ;) and then all the spot lights on the catwalk. . . . the chocolate was melting everywhere and i had a thick layer of chocolate in my hair ahhaha
But it was a lot of fun, i think my favourite shows are the ones at central mall, i like the people there and it's always a fun and relaxed atmosphere!
Anyway, my first outfit was a pink t-shirt with a vest and grey jeans. I also had to wear a chocolate hat, not sure how to describe it but i'll post some pictures when i can.
My second outfit was a pair of brown pants and an open shirt complete with a chocolate viking hat (You know the type of helmet with 2 horns :P)
The final outfit was black pants with a purple shirt and a heavy, heavy chocolate contraption on my head hahahah i was kind of walking with my head tilted to one side as well, because there was a big wing-like thing on the side of the hat hahaha
Overall the show went really well, it was comfortable and i'm starting to really enjoy walking around on the catwalk. The only thing, was that in the end i began to turn off to the wrong pillar but realized within that split second that it was wrong so i just kinda did a little spin thingy hahahahha Must've looked kinda stupid since i was walking alongside Champ, who was not doing a stupid spin thingy hahahha But atleast i didn't walk out on the platform so it wasn't that bad ^^
Oh and me and Champ were pretty much out on the scene the whole show because we had to wait for the girls to do their thing then we walked a bit and sat down on the edge and waited some more. . . . and well yeah we were out on stage a loooot :P
I also forgot to mention that during the first outfit. . .. . ofc they had to put lipstick on me n champ. . . .. and as if that wasn't (gay) enough they also put actual beads of candy onto our lips :P so we were walking around backstage, before the show started, blowing the beads off our lips onto people. . . . well you'll see on the pictures what i mean hehe.
We had pretty wierd makeup btw. . .. . one of my eyes had a kind of shadowy look .. . . which looked like a typical black eye. . .. so i'm not entirely sure what the artistic value of that little addition was. . .. . . .. ah well, they're the artists not me :P
After the show i went to the halloween themed nightsafari with Valerie, beatrice and 2 of valerie's friends. . .. . .it was a bit boring because i've been there like a billion times and it's pretty much the same thing, lions. . .. still look like freakin lions haha, it was alright though. However. . . i kinda wish i had taken Champ's invitation isntead and followed him to the halloween event at zouk together with soem of his friends. . . .. . or taken Anastasia's invitation and gone to EM studios and enjoyed the wonderous power of my com card. . . . .. . . ah well there'll always be another weekend :)

well. . . . i guess. . . . i'll be headin to Bali then hahaha!
On the 14th to the 19th of november i'll be in Bali for a. . . . .god. . .. . . a beauty contest. . . . .shiiiiiiet hahahha
Well i get free vacation, one of the sponsors is the hotel so it'll prolly be niiiice
Great sponsors btw, i think around 30 of em, like billabong and stuff.
The agency said that the sponsors are agressively looking for models. . . so i guess this will lead to more jobs as well!
Well i'm looking forward to it, i heard that we'll be getting free activites like a day at the spa and stuff hahaha. . . .. i really am turning metrosexual. . .. . cry
Other than that. . . .. i went to some casting for a shoe catwalk this morning, i cashed out my weekly allowance and i got 150 dollars for the DKNY thing. . . . .and i found out that the show on the 6th of november is with Daniel Boey, the guy that did the DKNY thing. . . which really makes me happy cause i heard that he's big. . . and apparently he likes me whoooo!
And well. . . that's about it! tomorrow i'll be going to a fitting as well, for the central mall show.
Hope all is well!
Love
Alex

ESPRIT and 2000kr Stripper
Heeeeeeey!
I haven't done shiiiiiet today, so i'll just leave it at that. . . . . ok i watched dragonballz all day at willy's place. . . . and i ate japanese dinner. . .. . MMMMMM TEMPURAAAAA!
Well. . .. i do have some interesting things to tell though ehhe
- I'm invited to a farewell party on wednesday, this time Aneta and Ivana are leaving.
- I will be doing a show for ESPRIT the 6th of november. . . Cathy keeps telling me that it's Kimmy's favourite brand :S
It's wierd though. . . i never did any castings for this job. . . so i guess it must be someone i've worked with before :/ ah well i dun really care cause i remember watching an ESPRIT catwalk show on the day i did the Timberland thing and i remember wishing i was in that show haha :D
- I could've earned 500dollars . . . that's more than 2000kr, in 15 minutes today!
A girl i know called me, and asked if i wanted to work. . . i said. . . uhm yeah sure what is it? (She doesn't work for any agency so i was curious)
Apparently some director or whatever it was, was having her birthday party. . . .. and the girl who called me said that i just had to go to the party and. . . . . striptease the birthday girl for 15 minutes Hahahhahahahha
I'm like "HAHAHAHAH hmmmm. . .. nah that's not really my thing hahaha" Then she mentioned i'd get 500dollars. . .. n i'm like shiiiiiiiiiet .. . buuuuut i ended up saying no. . . . haha a few more weeks in the gym, and a dance lesson or two later and i would've done it though hahaha
Well i've read kimmy's email and heard you guys saw my agency's homepage. . . and jsut to clear things up, i don't really think that homepage is up to date hehe.
Vince is a bit older now, That is NOT the Anastasia i know, and most of the models on the page don't seem active at the moment. (You meet all the models in the agency pretty quickly, and there's only like two of the girls that currently work for Carries that are on the homepage, and only one of the guys hehe.) For example, the guy named Florin or something, i saw his com card. . . . but now his com card is behind mine, and i asked why because that isn't very smart now is it hehe, But they said he isn't active in singapore at the moment so it doesn't matter.
And well. . . that's it for today!
Goodnight! (I'm impressed about how many of you have facebook now haha!)

3 interesting events and a show
Don't worry people, if i don't write one night it doesn't mean something bad has happened haha, infact yesterday was one fo the best nights yet!
A fashion show for "Arena" Magazine, featuring clothes from DKNY :D
for once i actually had cool clothes haha.
Oh and apparently me and one other model were on the news this morning "Channel 5" even :D
As you guys might know, i will be in Batam for the weekend with the relatives, so i'm probably not going to have internet access (I might but probably not :P)
Btw. . .. . i found this http://www.flickr.com/photos/cheeweng/sets/72157602416046402/
hahahha. . . wow. . .. that was my third show, i think it was saturday. . . .. remember the gay assed silver makeup i was talking about? well. . . .. here it is hahahhahaha embarassing :P
Well let's see here, what happened monday?. . . . .. i can't really recall. . . . well nothing important, that's worth to note has happened. . . at least i don't remember it so it can't be anything important can it? hehe
Oh shit wait.
Hahah oh right i had a Car TV commercial casting.
I had to pretend i was the good guy and that i was driving and just enjoying the scenery, i had to pretend i was racing, i had to pretend i just won. Then I had to pretend that i was the bad guy and that i was checking out the good guy's car, i had to pretend to race desperately and finally i had to pretend i lost.
hahahahha was really fun, but i'm not good at actign extremely pissed, pissed off i can do, but when it comes to extremely pissed i just start laughing haha >.< We had to retake the shot of me loosing once because the guy with the camera said i was smiling hehe
And if i get the job i'll have to drive a car :P but i told them i didn't really know how. . . so we'll see :P
Another interesting thing that happened during the week, was a farewell party of one of the female models. She also happens to be the model that the agency told to take care of me, that day i just came (Although i ended taking care of her at the club haha)
Anyway, we've become good friends and she was really sweet and bought me a notebook which she filled with some pictures of us and wrote some stuff, that was really nice.
The goodbye party was at one of the model's appartments, and there were 4 guys and . . . . .. not sure how many girls but like 7-8 or more :P
We drank, we ate, we went out, we took lots of pictures (Which i will try n get up as soon as possible) we went to a club. . . .. . and at the end of the night. . .. . around 4am, Me, Queenie and her friend went to grab soemthing to eat. . . And after that i went home with a cab!
The final interesting event this week was my 5th show!
I was at the casting for the show. . . i think the day before the actual show haha.
So i was told to go to the fitting at 10 (something) am at a DKNY outlett!
I was the first one there (Apparently it doesn't really seem like you have to be punctual in these jobs :P) and the next model came like 15 minutes later, and then about 45 minutes later the rest arrived haha. Once again 70% were from brazil, one girls was from russia and one guy was from Shanghai. I had met and become well acquainted with all the models at an earlier date, with one girl being the exception (ie. I'd never seen her before).
It was like any other fitting. We met the clients and coreographer and any other person involved with the show. Then we put on our clothes and got our pictures taken for reference during the actual show (So that we can look at the pictures and not walk out with the wrong combination of clothes).
The coreographer was named Daniel Boey. Apparently he's supposed to be somewhat famous, because i was talking with one of the girls later that night, and she told me we were only getting paid 150 sing dollars! Buuuuut she said she was alright with it because she was working for Daniel Boey and the clothes were from DKNY. So i guess this show was more for exposure. (And hey what do ya know, i ended up on the news right? haha)
Ok back to the story;
After we had tried out the outfits (3 outfits each) we were allowed to leave and were told to come to portsdown road at 3.45 pm.
Everyoen went back to their appartments and what not, and so did i. I just chilled for an hour or two, then i gave "Anastasia" a call (One of the female models) and we agreed to meet up at 3.25 outside of Buona Vista MRT station, i also told her to Bring the guy from shanghai "Jemmy". (Both of them i had met at the farewell party for Queenie)
When it was time i left the appartment and made my way to the MRT station, as i suspected i had to wait for about 20 minutes before they arrived and we would not make it in time to the rehearsal at portsdown road. Anyway we took a cab and the cab driver kinda got lost until we finally found the place.
When we got there. . .. . . . . .we were the first ones there. . . about half an hour late. . . . like i said before, punctuality is not this business's strong side haha ;)
But Anastasia told me that one should always try and come in time because sometimes the coreographers are strict and they actual kick you out of the show :P
Well me Jemmy and Anastasia sat there, i talked with anastasia because Jemmy can't speak that much english so he was kinda wandering about checking the place out.
Ten minutes after we arrived, the coreographer and co. arrived, 45 minutes after we arrived, the brazillian gang arrived haha.
Let's see here, the people i know pretty well that were there are:
Anastasia
Jemmy
Egon
Bruno
Vince
Great people. . . all of them are just great haha
Well. . . .. we rehearsed and the stage was tiny as shit, so it was really simple this time (No goddamned platforms to f*ck up the finale this time haha!)
It was kinda like zigzag, walk out, pose, walk to the left, pose, walk to the right pose, walk to the bottom left pose, wait for next model to come out, walk to the bottom right, pose, walk backstage.
It was easy.
Anyway, about this time is when i got filled in a bit more about the catwalk and who it was for etc.
So put simply, a Magazine called "Arena" (With the lame slogan "The coolest men's magazine in the world") was having it's first anniversary. Apparently this magazine originates from the UK and is the first magazine in Singapore to focus on men's fashion. . .without all the girls like Maxime and FHM.
The show was sponsored by several companies, but the clothes were from DKNY!
So for once i had some nice clothes i'd actually not mind wearing in real life haha.
So after the short rehearsal. . .we were, as usual, left to rot and die of boredom for the next few hours. It was a really nice place though, kinda like a tropical resort. . . or i dunno how to explain but i have pictures so i'll put em up when i can :P (The place was amazing after nightfall)
So for the hours we waited between the rehearsal and the next thing we were gonna do. We just sat there, there werent many people at all at the place.
So we all sat there and some of us talked, some went backstage to sleep, some had laptops with them. We were provided with water and cocacola. . . .
Then we started with makeup, it was the same makeup artist from when i had my test shoot, and she was really happy to see me again, as was I. She's a really funny person haha, tiny and cute haha.
After the makeup it was time for hair, where i learnt that "Swai" or whatever it was, means "Handsome" in mandarin. . . maybe mom knows :P
aaand well. . .. . after that we were left to boredom again for another 3 hours. . .
I went to the bathroom and realized the basterds made my hair backslick again .. . which never freakin works cause it doesn't stay which ends up making my hair look retarded haha.
Ah well, their show :P I'll have to tell the stylists next time "NO backslick. . . . . .NO FREAKIN backslick"
Well, the models (Especially me and Bruno) were getting so freakin hungry it was insane, we werent sure they would server us dinner (We were going to be there from 3.45 pm to 8pm)
and Bruno was pissed because the price he had heard we were going to get for the show was 250. . . but now it's 150.
However, we got food, expensive assed pasta infact, AND they served us Wine and free refills. . .. . . ... That night i REALLY realized how much i was enjoying my life at the moment. . .. . Sipping Free wine and Eating Free expensive Pasta together with a group of models. . . . .we were pampered shitless that night. Bruno said later that night "F*ck the money, i'll gladly do this show for 50 sing dollars"
Wow. . . it was just great, when nightfall came. . . it was jsut amazing. . . . it was dark and they had put up moving spotlights and other light effects and the place was just beautiful.
And as we drank more, the more fun we had and we all were just enjoying the moment laughing and whatever ahha. Great great time.
Anyway, the time for the show arrived, so we went backstage and started changing (Everyone was a bit tipsy, some were a bit drunk. . . . . Bruno was wasted. . . . .again hahahhahah that guy. . . .. ) So we were all just standing backstage having fun, messing with eachother and laughing laughin laughing, even the coreographer and the clients were laughing away (btw they were really really nice people as well, this was my favorite show so far)
My first outfit involved a jacket. . . .. . and the backstage had 2 FANS as airconditioning. . . . . . so anyway they told me to put it on when the singer (A girl who was going to sing before our catwalk) sang her first song.
She began, i put on my jacket. . .. . . . she sang some more. . . i still had my jacket on. . . . she sang some more. . .. . i was dying. . . .. . she sang somemore. . .. . .if she hadn't sang such calming and beautiful songs that everyone was enjoying this situation would have sucked. . .. but her singing and the people backstage, made me forget the intense heat under that bloody jacket :P
Well she finally sang finished and it was time for us to go out on the stage. We did our thing, a lot of people had arrived, i saw cameras and a huge video camera.
It was a fun show, i was so relaxed as well i didn't feel nervous at all, i just enjoyed the whole experience :P
After the show, we got back into our own outfits and continued to recieve free wine, free brugers, free pizza, free pasta and free desert. . .. . wow i ate quite a lot that night ahha. . . drank quite a bit as well :P
Anyway, some models were going to go home, then more of the models went home and in the end it was only me Jemmy and Anastasia left again.
So before we left we snatched a gift bag each (Contained perfume and a magazine :P. . . oh and one free yoga lesson haha)
What do ya know. . . the busses have stopped going and i was in jeans. . .. . .
I whined, i rolled up my jeans, i walked.
It was a pleasent walk though, i enjoy Jemmy's and Anastasia's company, and it was a beautiful night.. . . . . . i did sweat like niagra falls though. . . . .
Anyway we walked for like 20-30min until we reached Buona Vista's MRT.
We said farewell, i came home with mrt and then buss, the relatives were still up, YeeYee wasn't home yet. . . . i went to bed (It was pretty late. . . wonder what YeeYee was up to haha)
Well .. . . .i guess. . .. the next day. . . is today hehe.
So i woke up early and went to a casting at 11am, went to the next casting at 12.30pm, went to the gym, went to the next casting at 4pm.
The first casting was for catwalk at Tang's
The second was for levi's photoshoot (But we needed to take off our shirts. . .. and well i am not what i'd called "Buffed" yet hehe. . . so highly doubt i get this job)
The third was interesting.
For the third one I was told to come to the agency.
There i met a few other models, mostly female. I knew them all so it wasn't boring having to wait for the casting to begin.
Anastasia and Egon were there, so that was nice.
Well. . . . haha. . . the casting;
It was for a soap commercial and a candy commercial.
The whole casting was filmed with a videocamera.
First i had to show myself from all directions, ie front, 45 degrees both sides, 90 degrees both sides. . . and then they wanted me to do a creative spin + a pose. . . . .a creative spin. . . . ok. . . . hahahhaha
Well after that i was to tell them my name, age, where i'm from, my height and my agency.
Then they wanted me to make some looks. . .. . . . .
1st - Happy
2nd - Very Happy
3rd - Sad
4th - Very Sad
5th - Angry
6th - Very Angry
7th - Surprised
8th - Very Surprised
9th - Naughty. . . .
Hahahahhahahhahahhahhahha, you can tell i thought this was fun XD
Once again i didn't do THAT well with "Very Angry" haha i jsut kinda. . . . looked pissed a bit, then i started slapping my fist into my palm pretty violently (Like in entourage, Kimmy you knwo what i mean) buuuuut ofc i burst out laughing haha. . . . .And then Naughty. . .. . . i'm liek wtf. .. . . . hahahah so i just put on a cheeky smile and look like i just decapitated one of kimmy's dolls or whatever hahahha
Nah but that was really fun :D
after that i met up with the relatives and we ate at YeeYee's club. . . and now i'm here.
Well, now i'm packing for Batam and it's time to sleep!
Good Night everyone!
Love
Alex

We said farewell, i came home with mrt and then buss, the relatives were still up, YeeYee wasn't home yet. . . . i went to bed (It was pretty late. . . wonder what YeeYee was up to haha)
Well .. . . .i guess. . .. the next day. . . is today hehe.
So i woke up early and went to a casting at 11am, went to the next casting at 12.30pm, went to the gym, went to the next casting at 4pm.
The first casting was for catwalk at Tang's
The second was for levi's photoshoot (But we needed to take off our shirts. . .. and well i am not what i'd called "Buffed" yet hehe. . . so highly doubt i get this job)
The third was interesting.
For the third one I was told to come to the agency.
There i met a few other models, mostly female. I knew them all so it wasn't boring having to wait for the casting to begin.
Anastasia and Egon were there, so that was nice.
Well. . . . haha. . . the casting;
It was for a soap commercial and a candy commercial.
The whole casting was filmed with a videocamera.
First i had to show myself from all directions, ie front, 45 degrees both sides, 90 degrees both sides. . . and then they wanted me to do a creative spin + a pose. . . . .a creative spin. . . . ok. . . . hahahhaha
Well after that i was to tell them my name, age, where i'm from, my height and my agency.
Then they wanted me to make some looks. . .. . . . .
1st - Happy
2nd - Very Happy
3rd - Sad
4th - Very Sad
5th - Angry
6th - Very Angry
7th - Surprised
8th - Very Surprised
9th - Naughty. . . .
Hahahahhahahhahahhahhahha, you can tell i thought this was fun XD
Once again i didn't do THAT well with "Very Angry" haha i jsut kinda. . . . looked pissed a bit, then i started slapping my fist into my palm pretty violently (Like in entourage, Kimmy you knwo what i mean) buuuuut ofc i burst out laughing haha. . . . .And then Naughty. . .. . . i'm liek wtf. .. . . . hahahah so i just put on a cheeky smile and look like i just decapitated one of kimmy's dolls or whatever hahahha
Nah but that was really fun :D
after that i met up with the relatives and we ate at YeeYee's club. . . and now i'm here.
Well, now i'm packing for Batam and it's time to sleep!
Good Night everyone!
Love
Alex

4 shows and a failed ending. . . (Part 3 of 3)
The Final Day and Show, Sunday.
This time the show was for "Timberland" and it was at a mall called "Centrepoint"
I arrived early so i went to mcdonalds and ate some hot cakes, it was pretty good. . . .. (Dammit i am SO freakin hungry right now. . . . .)
When the time came i walked to the catwalk stage, this one was very different compared to the one at central mall.
This one was like, Backstage -> Big stage with steps leading down to the floor -> on the floor there were 4 seperate platforms.
The sequences this time were a lot harder as well.
sequence 1:
- walk out to big stage from backstage and get into the given position (all the guys would be out on the stage at the same time)
- When the model before your turn is out on the third platform, you start walking to the first platform
- Pose on each platform and walk back from some direction. . . . .
The second sequence was the same but different start positions
The third sequence you walk out and get into your position on the catwalk area, wait till the girl walks out and poses on the center platform, when she walks back to the backstage, you follow her.
The finale, i just had to walk out to the steps and stand there, then when everyone started walking back into the backstage, i was to follow.
Haha the rehearsal was sooo funny, oen of my friends, a brazillian guy named "Bruno" had been out the previous night (He had told me to go out with him as well, but i said "Dude, we have to be at the mall early next morning" he replied "So?")
and come home at like 4am, we were supposed to meet at Centrepoint mall at 9am. . . .. . hahahahah he was still drunk as shit! he was dancing on the way to the platforms and dancing on the platforms etc. hahaha funny guy. I'm Telling you, these brazillians are like fredrik, they seem to have infinite energy. . . . crazy XD hahaha They're like the energizer bunnies you see on television, just keep going and going :P
Well for this show we would be like 5-6 guys + 1 girl (She was smokin hot, Brazillian as well :P everyone is freakin brazillian here haha)
Oh and Bruno, the day before, he had been on a show and one of the models at that show had had an epileptic attack. No one did anything, so Bruno saved his life by making him vomit out the three pieces of his tongue that he had bitten off :P Then Bruno took his shirt off and wrapped it around his finger, jammed the finger into the guys mouth and forcefully prevented the guy's tongue from slipping back into his throat. Pretty Amazing if you ask me. . . ..
Anyway, after the rehearsal we were told to come back in like 4-5 hours.
I walked out with one of the models who i've forgotten the name of. . .. No his name was Paul, he was really nice, had a good energy to himself.
Anyway, everyone was going home to sleep or whatever, but i didn't feel like going home again, so i followed Paul out of the mall and followed him a bit on the way toward his house, then i went to go watch "Mr.Woodcock" in the cinema. . . . . alone :P
but it's so freakin cheap here so i don't really care haha.
Well then i went back to the mall and saw that another catwalk was being performed on the stage i'd be walking on later. It was a show for ESPRIT and 3 of the models from the Timberland Show were walking in this one as well. "Vince" a guy from my agency, he has supposedly done a lot of catwalks, and i could tell he was really good. He like highlighted the bag he was carrying and everything :P so i just tried to look at him and see if i could get some tips/inspiration or whatever :P
Well after the show i went off to the hair saloon to get my hair done (I was praying that i wouldn't have to have freakin backslick again . . . .)
At the hair saloon a gay guy came and started fixing my hair. He was fixing my hair with the same movements like Ben stiller when he was fixing the blond chicks hair in the movie "Zoolander" haha i couldn't help but laugh a bit :P
Anyway, he started telling me how handsome i was and then he went on to telling me that a lot of guys in singapore like guys and then he went on to doubtfully asking me if i was one of them. . .. . . .. . man i almost get more attention from guys here in singapore than girls hahahah
well he also asked me if i had cut my own hair :P and i had heard that form a previous stylist the day before as well. . . so i guess the person the agency sent me to when i needed a haircut didn't do such a good job :P (I think it looks alright though ehhe)
After the hair styling session i walked up to the top floor for makeup.
I was hoping i wouldn't have as gay makeup as before. . . .. . and well it wasn't even close. The makeup artist worked for like 1 minute and i was finished. . . so to be honest. . . i couldn't tell i was wearing makeup hehe, thank god for that
Anyway, after the makeup i walked down to the backstage and just sat there for myself. . . the mall was really boring and everyone else was still at home hehe.
So i sat there until the models started comming in and eventually the show started.
We put on our first outfits and off we went to do the show.
I wasn't THAT nervous this time. . .. still a bit nervous ofc hehe
When i walked out, lights were flashing from everywhere and the mall was big so there were a looot of people watching :P
As it came to be my turn to walk to the first platform, i saw little Beatrice, Valerie, Mee Fong and Cathy standing in the first row haha. I was like "SHIT don't look at meeeeeeee >.<" hahaha
as for how the show went. . . .
Well when i walked down the stairs from the big stage i almost fell. . .. . . ALMOST, my shoes were freakin huge and i could barely walk haha
But after that the show went swimmingly, i rather enjoyed it.
Until the bloody finale. . . . . as i mentioned before there were 3 sequences and 1 finale. . .. the basterds had cut one of the sequences so when i thought we were doing the third sequence, we were actually doing the finale! (And i even confirmed with them before i went out on the catwalk about how i would walk, and they said it was correct!) hahahha basterds. . . . so all the platforms were occupied by models except for the platform next to me XD hahahhahahha I was standing on the floor as i would've done in the third sequence. . . and i didn't notice that the platform was unmanned because i was looking the other way hahahaa.
So anyway when i got back into the backstage i thought i had screwed up reaaaal bad, which i kinda had. But it turns out that one of the models screwed up as well, which led to another model screwing up, which eventually (They thought) led to ME screwing up haha
But the coreographer was so nice and friendly, so even though we f*cked up the ending, he was still friendly and got his picture taken with us a few times (He was gay. . .really gay)
Well after that i kinda just wanted to run away from the backstage because i was kinda embarassed hahaha, so i met up with Cathy on the top floor where she was looking for christmas presents.
----------Alright if aanyone reads this before i complete it, i will complete it soon, but it's time to go out and eat. . .. hungry as shit and the relatives are waiting :P BBL----------
Back again hehe so where was i. . .
I met up with Cathy, then i met up with Valerie and her family to go looking for a halloween costume :P Val asked if i wanted to go to some nightsafari halloween event. . . i like nightsafaries so wth!
But i have a show the same date, so before i buy a costume i have to get more info on the show. . . like when it ends.
Well after a while we were out on the street waiting for Val's father, who drove us to their grandfathers house, where apparently every sunday that whole gang meets up and eats together. . . pretty neat if you ask me
I met Thomas, Fred. . . . .well yeh that whole gang (Not very good with all these asian names ;)
There was a lot of food, which they had ordered from some catering company, i think farfar would have appreciated this little get together haha
So i talked with a little bit of everyone, but at the end of the night i ended up talking with Cathy, Valerie, Beatrice, Meefong and Susan.
After the get together we headed back home where i finally got to sleep without worrying about a show haha :D i slept well that night ;)
But now. . . i have to go to sleep because i just got accepted for another show, which will be tomorrow. I'm not entirely sure what it will be, but the fitting at 10.45 am is at DKNY! and the casting was yesterday at some jewelery utstallning. . . .. so it'll be fun to see what will happen!
I had to buy briefs (Trekants kallingar) and long black socks :P I never thought i'd wear briefs again. . . . shiiiiet. .. . . but then again, i never thought i'd wear speedos either ;)
Gnight!
Love

4 shows and a failed ending. . . (Part 2 of ?)
Hellooooo, time is 4.09 and i've gotta leave at half past 4, for another casting :P so i'll make this brief ;)
The day i'm talking about this time, is saturday.
Once again we were told to arrive early at the mall and then do absolutely nothing for about 4 hours haha, suuuucks.
But i ate breakfast at burgerking because of a stressful morning and at one point Champ joined me.
Well. . . . nothing really happened after that. . .. Champ went and got a massage (I skipped it because it cost a bit :P) and i just kinda wandered aimlessly around the mall again haha.
but at 12o'clock it was time for makeup and hair, i was kinda hoping i'd be doing the winder show first, because i was hoping for a little less gay looking makeup, hairdo and i was loathing the thought of wearing speedos again haha.
Buuuuut nope. . . it was Garden show first, so once again on with mm thick makeup, however i did get to skip the backslick haha.
So then until 1-2pm i just hanged around the stylist place and talked to the other models (Now i wasn't the only freakshow in that area so it wasn't as embarassing haha)
We got called down into the backstage and were told to put on our first outfits. The coreographer told us all to pose a bit longer so that the photographers have a chance to get a picture (He told us all but i have a feeling it mainly meant me haha XD)
So i asked the others and they said, just spend like 6 seconds on each platform.
This time i wasn't nearly as nervous, i breathed calmly and was a bit excited even.
According to Cathy (Who was there once again with my grandparents) it was much better this time, i walked slower and more confidently. . . i also posed longer . . .. even with the speedos on haha.
I felt so relieved afterwards because i knew i'd never have to wear those speedos again haha :D
So now we were once again left to wait in the mall until about 5pm which was when the next show was gonna start.
This time i stayed in the backstage together with 2 brazillians; Egon and Diego, and Champ was there as well.
It was pleasent to just sit there and talk so that was nice hehe.
Then it was time for winter show makeup. . . . . .. . .. . and oh my god. . . .. . . you'd think wearing being bronzed to shit and having rosy cheeks was embarassing. . . . This time i had white/silvery makeup on my cheeks, chin, nose and forehead. . . . . it also glittered. . . . .. . and i had to wear a massive amount of silver lipgloss. . . . .. . . . I MEAN COME ON!!!!!!
haha was pretty funny though, we were only 4 guys at the show and as soon as the stylist would turn their back on one of us, the guy would quickly white off the lipgloss. So the stylists had to apply the lipgloss several times haha.
Also when the stylist was done with the extreme facial makeup, we were alowed to wait outside of the styling room. Bad idea.
All the guys just went to the nearest mirror and started whiping off as much makeup as they could hahaha. And well i'd say we succeeded in making it look a little less gay anyway haha :D
Then after a while we were called back into the backstage where we eventually put on our first outfits, and out we went onto the catwalk again.
This time i was barely nervous at all, these 3 shows were a lot of fun actually. Fun people as well.
The clients, ie. the people we were doing the catwalk for, they liked me and told me to come to 2 more of their shows on the 21st and the 27th. That time it will be some chocolate show. . . i think i heard something about chocolate coated accessories or something. . . sounds wierd haha.
Anyway, i had to quickly leave the mall because i was to be at a test shoot at 7pm. . . .. the time was 7pm. . .. haha
So i rushed and rushed, and ended up in an apartment where they had set up lights and clothes and what not.
The stylist at the test shoot quickly styled me up a bit (more makeup, more crap in the hair)
For the first shot i was wearing an open hood (Exposing my chest) and thai boxing shorts, complete with boxing gloves haha. They also sprayed my face and body with water to make it look as if i was sweating :P
My second outfit was an intenses purple shirt, with a white suit and white suitpants. I was also holding a cigar haha
The third outfit was, some winter coat, so i was told to look as if i was freezing. .. . . . i'm from sweden. . . i know this ;)
The fourth outfit was some combination of fredperry clothes, complete with hangslen (Suspenders?)
The test shoot was soooooooo much fun, and the person in charge loved me ahha, she was really nice and directed me, and told me how to pose so it was easy.
There was also a gay assistant who kept taking pictures of me with his mobile, then after the shoot he wanted to get his picture taken with me a few times ahhaha. . . . . man. . . .
Ah well i came home at 12.40, around that, so i went to bed as fast as i could because i had to be at Centrepoint Mall the next morning at 10 am :P
Well now i gotta run off to my next casting! GOTTA RUN!
SEE YAZZZZZ

4 shows and a failed ending. . . (Part 1 of ?)
Wow. . . .. it's been a buuuuusy assed weekend. . .
I've practically been walking around or standing up All day this weekend, i was sooo damn tired on sunday haha.
First i had that "Dries Van Noten" casting early thursday morning, i also had a phillips casting, but i had to blow off the DKNY casting :( because we will be on a trip on the day of the show. . . . and i really wanted to go to that casting >.<>.<>.< GOOD GOD!
hahaha well as much as i wanted time to slow down it refused to halt and instead increased it's speed just to mess with me, before i knew it, it was time to but on our first outfits. . . . . I was so nervous i wasn't even aware that 6-7 girls were getting naked around me in a very tiny and crowded room. . . . .many not even wearing a Brah . . .. . hahaha
Well, as the first models went out and the music was playing some nice soft song which i rather liked, i was nervously standing around waiting for my turn to be thrown out into the flashing of cameras.
And then came the time, boom, "Alex it's your turn get out there!"
shiiiiiiiiieeeet. . .. . . i walk out to meet a crowd occupying 2 floors of the mall. . .. . . .cameras were flashing from the left, right, front and above. . . . .. well i just went out and tried to pose. . . . i think my lips were quivering pretty heavily, causing the butterfly in my mouth to vibrate (I forgot to mention. . . . . i had to hold a butterfly with my lips. . . . .. plastic ofc. . . thanks for the increased gayness /cry) i also saw Cathy, and my grandparents in the crowd ready with their cameras hehe.
So I did my thing, walked to every platform and posed (This was my first time on a catwalk stage, so becuase i was so damn nervous i was walking veeeery quickly to each platform and posing veeeery briefly. . .like 1 second poses haha)
before i knew it i was back in the safety of my backstage, my whole body was quivering as i stressfully attempted to change into my next outfit. . .. . . .. .. . the speedos. . . .. AAAAAAAGH!
Once again, time seemed to speed up and before i knew it was was out on the stage with nothing but a black top hat with big black feathers sprouting from it, 3 tribal necklaces. . . .. . . and a tiny, tiny piece of elastic cloth covering only my privateparts. . . . .. . Wow. . .. . flashes were going off everywhere and i was exposing my hairy gorilla legs to the world . . . awesome. . . .
Also this time i walked veeery quickly and posed veeery briefly, and once again, before i knew it i was back in the backstage. . .. . however, the quivering had stopped, the panting had stopped. . . .. . . i felt like a giant weight had been lifted. . . . .It wasn't that bad afterall. . . infact it was pretty damn funny, i was cracking jokes about it with my "co-models" both male and female. . . .
The show wasn't over yet though, i quickly changed into my final outfit and did my thing out on the catwalk. Then came the finale where all the models walked out at the same time, did one round around the center platform and walked back into the backstage. The crowd cheered, the speakers yelled out "Thank you Models"
and when we all got back into the backstage everyone cheered and it was all over! :D. . . my first show that is hehe.
But the day wasn't over yet, after a photographer had taken a few pictures of all of us in the backstage, and we'd all changed back to our own clothes, all the guys quickly whiped off all the makeup with some wet wipes (No force on earth can make me wear that shit out in public).
Then me and Champ took farewell and a "See ya tomorrow" of the people backstage and exited. Outside we ran into my relatives and we talked for a bit, they offered to drive me home but i had to come back to the mall at 10 pm for a rehearsal regarding the shows on saturday.
So, to kill time me and Champ headed back to the place where we watched the movie earlier that day to see if we could catch another one. But no movies were going soon enough, so we headed to the arcade in the "Bugis Mall"
And i tell you. . . . . asians are completely insane when it comes to arcades. . . .. they have games i've never even dreamt of before, i remember this one game where there's a platform. . . . and a 40 year old man was putting cards on the platform and moving them around, on the screen each card was represented by one type of army. . . champ told me that the goal of the game is to move the cards around on the platform, hence directing the armies in the game and destroy the enemy wall. . .. . . simply amazing. . . . .And arcades in singapore are not like arcades in sweden, here almost all the arcade machines are connected to eachother, so if one guy is playing a game on one machine, he is most probably playing against a person sitting on the machine on the other side. . . . . Champ, was a reaaaaal gamer, he knew every game, and he palyed like the players so see on television. . . he was insane. . . . btu ooooh how much more insane many of the other players were. I Really couldn't believe my eyes when i was in there, their reactions are like none i have ever seen before. . .. it's like a black belted kung fu master x100
And the sickest of all the players in the arcade was a guy playing house of the dead 4 (One of those games whre you point a pistol at the screen and shoot)
This guy. . . .. . he didn't miss a single shot and he shot soooo fast. . .. . . . .. . i mean. . . . he had the kind of skills a freaking Navy Seals black ops super man special forces ass kicking heroe has in all these lame assed movies where the heroe never misses a shot no matter how sick it is. . . . .
Haha alright anyway, after we spent a few hours in the arcade (Champ seemed to have spent maaaaaany hours there, because he knew like every detail fo everygame hehe)
we headed back to the mall and did the rehearsal which didn't take very long. I rehearsed the winter show, and champ rehearsed the Garden show.
After that we said our goodbyes and i took the mrt home. . . or almost home
First the subway (MRT) went to a stop where everyone got off and was supposed to change subway line to the one heading home. People started running. . . and i was thinking "What the hell?. . .. might as well run as well"
So we were a big group of people, about 15 adults and me, just running like a big group of rhinos or something haha, i was laughing quietly for myself the whole run.
So, as i expected they were running to catch the last MRT going in my direction, and luckily we made it . . . all of us hehe
Well, at Clementi MRT (My station) i find that the buss home has stopped going so i begin walking. . . . .. . .. . . ..but for the love of god, i'm wearing jeans and i'm in singapore, and it was a long assed journey back. So after maybe 2 minutes i gave up, sweating like a waterfall, and signalled a cab to pick me up.
I got home anyway ;)
Well i have 3 more shows, 1 test shoot and 2 more days to write about, but right now i have to go to bed because they want me to go to some casting for some "Mr.Indonesia" contest. . . . . .. hahhah. . . ..
Stay tuned ;)

I've practically been walking around or standing up All day this weekend, i was sooo damn tired on sunday haha.
First i had that "Dries Van Noten" casting early thursday morning, i also had a phillips casting, but i had to blow off the DKNY casting :( because we will be on a trip on the day of the show. . . . and i really wanted to go to that casting >.<>.<>.< GOOD GOD!
hahaha well as much as i wanted time to slow down it refused to halt and instead increased it's speed just to mess with me, before i knew it, it was time to but on our first outfits. . . . . I was so nervous i wasn't even aware that 6-7 girls were getting naked around me in a very tiny and crowded room. . . . .many not even wearing a Brah . . .. . hahaha
Well, as the first models went out and the music was playing some nice soft song which i rather liked, i was nervously standing around waiting for my turn to be thrown out into the flashing of cameras.

A Few Drinks and a Handjob
Hi ho!
didn't write yesterday because i. . . once again returned home late and in a state not fit for writing hehe. . .
Well anyway, yesterday was a LOOOOOOOONG day. . . . . loooong day
It began with a fitting at 3pm. . . . . the clothes i have to wear on the catwalk this weekend. . . . . . . . are so freakin gay it's not even funny haha XD
1. White shorts + pink shirt
2. Black pants + some wierd assed flower shirt. . . . feels like a mosquito net haha
3. . . . . . . .. SPEEDOS! ZOMFG NOOOOO! hahaha speeedos tighter than my underwear XD + 3 tribal necklaces to enhance zie gayness :P
4. white pants + tight tight tight! black vneck
5. white pants + white shirt with wierd assed embroidery
6. some really gay farmer looking shirt + shorts. . . .. + really gay kangor hahaha
maaaaaaan nothing was cool :(
during the first fitting it was me and two other guys + a lot of girls. (mixed gender changing rooms igen. . . . jag var den forsta som gick a borja byta om. . . . sen kommer ba en modell brud a borjar kla av sig en meter ifran mig. . . . jag ba SHIET a vande mig om hahahahha XD)
The fitting took like 2 hours, so after that i went to the agency and claimed a real portfolio (Been carying around the pictures in a plastic bag so far hehe), i also got my first "Weekly allowance" check.
Then i made my way to a food junction and ate some wierd spring rolls thingies. . . . weren't very good
Then i had to rush back to the mall for the second fitting at 7pm, i also tried on some shorts at a store in the mall, but found nothing. I did by a shirt-like thingy at another store in the mall hehe :P
Anyway the second fittign i didn't actually have to put on any of the clothes because it was the same show as from the one before .. . . but some of the people had been changed out. So this time it was me and 4 other guys + lotsa girls.
I got along very well with one of the guys at the fitting (He was also in the first fitting) and got his number, i also got asked out by some of the models to follow them to the bar later that night.
So directly after the second fitting, at about 8pm i gave khai a call and headed to the gym for a quick workout.
Then i came home, and left shortly after my arrival :P
The bar was great, and one of the male models was a DJ during the first part of the night, and all the girls were shaking their asses without mercy, and yeh it was fun, i got along well with everyone and it was a pleasent night hehe. I also had a good long talk with a guy that worked at the bar, i think he's the one that got us all in for free, and well i now see that i have his number in phone haha ;) meeting a looot of people here :P I also found myself thanking god out loud for my great fortune a few times durign the night haha
Anyway, i came home and ate some hard bread with kalles kaviar and then went to bed.
Then today at about 11am, i get a casting request for a hand modelling thing haha. So i rushed off to that thing and it was pretty retarded :P i had to do lotsa stuff with my hands haha. Buuuut i doubt my hairy, mosquito bitten hands will get me the job haha (oh and on my way there i ran into the cuuutest japanese girl ever with huge eyes just staring at me. . . . too bad she was getting into the MRT as i was leaving >.<)
Weeeellz after the handjob. . . pun intended. . . i went on a search for a mcdonalds (Because i had eaten a cheeseburger on the way to the bar the previous night and it awoke a sudden crave for cheeseburgers hehe)
I found myself in the same mall that i had been in last year together with Valerie, vincent and kimmy. We had watched some movie. . . the nacho jack black movie hehe
I didn't find a mcdonals but i found a burger king, which had to suffice because i didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning, so i was staaarving.
After i had consumed a double whopper meal i walked around a bit in the mall because i didn't have anything to do, and didn't feel like going home.
Then i thought. . . hey wth i'll check the pricings for the movies, and well i found out it was cheap as hell! So i bought a ticket and watched "Shoot Em Up". . . . .. . such a random movie haha kinda good in a way though ;) but then again i like most movies i see :P
Oh i also got a casting for DKNY on thursday, i have to wear jeans and a shirt. . . that'll be fun ^^
After the movie i gave Cathy a call and she told me to make my way to a mall called Tangs.
So i began my looong assed walk through orchard road. . .. . in that freakin heat. . .. a part of me died during that journey. . .
Anywa i didn't really find it at first, so Cathy told me to go to Zara, where i walked around and looked at clothes for a bit, then i went to the bank next door to cash out my weekly check, but the bank was closed :P and i didn't want to wait in zaras anymore so Cathy told me to wait in "Borders" a nearby book shop. I walked around and checked out some horror books, until the Cathy and co came.
We ate at a japanese retaurante filled with gorgeous girls, and well. . . now i'm home again haha
Oh btw, i've been approached two times more on the street by other agencies giving me their cards and stuff :P i was also approached by a chick who was doing some kind of survey, after i answered the first question she said something like "I know this is wierd, since we've just met and all, but do you want to be friends?". . . . . .. . . . . haha
Well that's it for now! GOOOD NIIIGHT KYZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Four Showers and a Shot of Tequila
An otherwise very calm day, turned into something else haha
Yesterday (I came home too late. . . . and probably not in the best state to write a post last night, so i post poned it till this morning ;) i had absolutely no plans, i woke up, showered and just plomped down infront of the computer until i got bored. Then left for the gym and did some running and wieght lifting, followed by a 90kr pizza that turned out to be awesome and very very filling.
I then made my way to the empty apartment of my grandparents' and aunt's, to fetch my shirt, my passport and my PSP which would allow me to upload pictures. I also had to take the third shower of the day because i felt like a tiny niagra falls. . .
(It also turns out i forgot my PSP in sweden. . . so pics will have to wait hehe)
Anyway, on the way back to Wiley's place, i spoke with my parents over the phone. . . .. .and i ended up waiting for 45 minutes for a buss that never came haha. . . it sucked ass and i ended up taking a cab. Howver while i was waiting for the buss i got an sms from "Queenie" the model i talked to at my last casting.
She told me they were gonna be going to "EM Studio", a club. I thought it sounded fun so i decided to tag along.
After a while at home, i got a cab and talked to the driver all the way to "Gallery Hotell", he was pretty funny. . . . a bit retarded haha
Finally at the Gallery hotel, i gave queenie a call and before i knew it i heard someone screaming my name haha, and she led me to the bar where i had to show my comcard and my id to get in.
So. . . ... now i'm at a party/club. . . .. . . with only models. . .. . . . . and. . . . . .a free BAR! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As for what i'm doing now. . . . . .. i'm watching dragonballs haha Ah well, yesterday was beyond awesome, it was great to talk to martin and rikard as well.
Hope yer all good! SEE YAZZZZZ
Yesterday (I came home too late. . . . and probably not in the best state to write a post last night, so i post poned it till this morning ;) i had absolutely no plans, i woke up, showered and just plomped down infront of the computer until i got bored. Then left for the gym and did some running and wieght lifting, followed by a 90kr pizza that turned out to be awesome and very very filling.
I then made my way to the empty apartment of my grandparents' and aunt's, to fetch my shirt, my passport and my PSP which would allow me to upload pictures. I also had to take the third shower of the day because i felt like a tiny niagra falls. . .
(It also turns out i forgot my PSP in sweden. . . so pics will have to wait hehe)
Anyway, on the way back to Wiley's place, i spoke with my parents over the phone. . . .. .and i ended up waiting for 45 minutes for a buss that never came haha. . . it sucked ass and i ended up taking a cab. Howver while i was waiting for the buss i got an sms from "Queenie" the model i talked to at my last casting.
She told me they were gonna be going to "EM Studio", a club. I thought it sounded fun so i decided to tag along.
After a while at home, i got a cab and talked to the driver all the way to "Gallery Hotell", he was pretty funny. . . . a bit retarded haha
Finally at the Gallery hotel, i gave queenie a call and before i knew it i heard someone screaming my name haha, and she led me to the bar where i had to show my comcard and my id to get in.
So. . . ... now i'm at a party/club. . . .. . . with only models. . .. . . . . and. . . . . .a free BAR! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
VIP baby!

Old Ladies and Khai
Heeey,
Today i spent my morning surfing the internet and eating hardbread with kaviar.
At around 1pm i left the house and went to the gym, where i met up with one of the guys that work there "Khai".
through him, the german guy and now me, got the VIP access mwaha. Btw, i never mentioned last time i was describing the gym that it has its own DJ. . . . only asia. . .. only asia
Anyway, i didn't get much work done because i spent 2-3 hours talking with Khai about various things, he's really good with swedish soccer believe it or not :P knows more than me haha
After a while of chat he said he could fix pretty much anything for me at a cheaper price, laptops, pcs, food, etc. . .. . i really am getting spoiled over here haha
However, my casting at "Heeren mall" was at 5pm so after all the talk i only had time to work my arms :P
And before i left the gym, Khai fixed everything with the VIP access to do, so now i just have to go there and state my name . . . . shit's sweeeeeeeeeet
Anyway, our conversation was really long, so now i only had a little time to get to Heeren city.
Buuuut i was really lucky, when i went to the MRT (Which in case you don't know, is the subway system here in singapore) , it came as soon as i came down from the escalators, and when i arrived at somerset mrt station i asked a guy where the mall was and he said he could escort me there cause he worked there hehe. So it went fast ^^
Ultimately, I ended up in another fancy lift lobby and took the elevator to floor 19, where i saw a few models.
I Signed up my name, 10 min later i was inside an office sitting behind a big desk and talking with 3 people. Apparently it was a casting for some christmas campaign and they wanted me to give them a cheeky look and a seirous look hahhahahhha, not sure how i did ;)
during the wait for the interview to start i also talked with one of the models from my agency, she said that tomorrow she and a gang from the agency i suppose, are going out, so she took my number and said she'd call. So that'll be fun, 5 free drinks as well haha
After the casting i gave uncle Alan a call, becuase we had decided he'd take me to some kind of "pirana-kahn dinner". . . .. .. . .i thought it was some kind of piranha buffet or something :P stupid angmo. . . .
Anyway, i had to wait for him for like an hour and a half, at "Bugis" a type of shopping mall, so i kinda just wandered around and checked out all the stores (And girls), i found some interesting t-shirts etc that i might buy. . .. it's so insanely cheap here. . . . .. .well compared to sweden that is. Like nice assed t-shirts for one third of the price in sweden. . . .. . . .i dun get it haha
Eventually Alan arrived with his car to pick me up (I'd spent the last few minutes in Mos burger. . . .those rise burgers iz deh shiznit) we drove a bit further away to pick up another boy that was the same age as me. He was funny, and talked a loooot haha.
Oh and i had forgotten my shirt at home, so Alan had brought with him the most colourful shirt ever. . . . .. . . not really my style. . . . . .baggy as shiet and silk hehe but wth. . .
The dinner was pretty fancy with a live band playing oooold old music from like farfar and farmors time, and i don't even remember how many dished we had. . . . it was pretty nice and deffinitely an experience :P
As usual all the old ladies fell for me. . .. . too bad i wasn't sitting at a table with younger girls haha, but it was fun, and me and the guy we picked up, edric, got along well.
Finally Alan dropped me off at home and now i'm sitting here writing this at 1.27 am, so i guess it's time to call it a night pretty soon.
Btw, the fitting for the catwalks on the 12th and 13th are on this monday, I also found out i'll be making around 1000sing dollars on the three shows together, so, about 5000kr for like 3 hours work. . . not bad :D
Hope everyone is well! Love you guys, and miss you guys. . . sleep well!

The Godfather
I awoke early this morning to go meet uncle Alan, that is, i woke up at 10am and almost died. . . hate mornings. . .
Anyway we ate some burgers and talked for a while, then he had to go to a meeting regarding some real estate. Oh and get this, he knows the last princess of a forbidden city called "Solo". . . .. how rad is that? And not only that, but her brother is the king of this city and he has access to a palace. . .. . . .. . . you ready?. . . . its a forbidden palace. . .. . ooooOOOOOoooooH!!!!!!!!!!!!
A national geographics team from discovery channel, led by uncle Alan are gonna be the first foreigners to enter the forbidden palace. . . jeeeeuuuuuppp. . . i know that guy
haha oh, and when i was waiting for Alans meeting to finish up, it took about an hour and a half, i went shopping for earphones. . . . and not once, but twice i was approached by talent scouts from another agency :P And i don't really know what the first one wanted, he said something about advertisments and stuff, and that even though i had an agency, it'd be better if i did it alone because this was some kind of freelance crap that would give me more money. . . .. . but i don't know :P imma tell my current agency Carries. So if the other people want me to do some jobs they'll have to go through Carries ;)
Well, when Alan was finished we met up with his cousine and left to a shopping mall where apparently all the teens hang out :P
Our purpose was to find a pair of running shoes, because my intentions were to go do cardio at the gym today. . .. when i realized i had forgotten my running shoes at home hehe. . .
But np, we found a pair of pretty nice Nike shoes in my size with 70% off of the price ;)
After our shopping we went and ate again, but at a mcdonalds lookalike called "Mos Burger". . . . .. mcdonalds japanese style, with rice cakes instead of bread, and yakitori instead of beef. . . . .. tis was niiiiiiiiiiiiiice
Well, after that i met up with my grandparents and aunt. . . .. and ate again. . . this time at IKEA haha. "Swedish" meatballs my ass. . . . . looked like fishballs, but meat. . . .wasn't swedish anyway :P
haha oh, and all the items in IKEA had such random and retarded names. . . . . .just to make them look more swedish, like the napkins were called "Fantastic Napkins" written in swedish, and some of the items it didn't even seem as though they had even tried. Like one stool or something they had just put lots of letters together to make the singaporians think it was a swedish word hahahahha and the teddybears and stuff had names like "Barnslig krokodil", Barnslig apa, barnslig flodhast .. . . .. . retards. . . . i can't really remember some of the most retarded names. . . but trust me i was laughing through the entire shop, all the singaporians around me were like WTF?!
Well, atleast i got a hold of some of my beloved hard bread and kalles kaviar ^^
Good news btw, for the next 3 days i'm going to be living in my uncle Wiley's pad because the family are going to kambodia, and the internet here is sweeeeet! so i can upload photos and stuff. . . . .. . but now i also realize i've forgotten my psp at my grandparents place, which i use to transfer the pics from the camera into the computer. . . .. . ugh. . palla, means imma have to make an extra stop tomorrow >.<
So my new roomate is smelling my ass at the moment, she's gorgeous and won't leave me alone. . . she needs a looooooot of attention, gonna let her sleep in my bed tonight and see how that goes. . .. . .. GOD SHES HYPERACTIVE! she just won't keep still. . . .
this dog is gonna be the end of me, it's a husky and she truly is gorgoues ;)
anyways, that's it for tonight, oh and i'm going to go for another castign tomorrow for some mall that's apparently pretty popular so we'll see how that goes ;) Nighty Night!

Sexy Ubah Gym With Zie German & Americaine & Romainien
Noooot much happened today. . . .
I woke up, felt like crap. . . slept another hour. . . still felt like crap, got up ate some breakfast and sat down infront of zie computah.
This is the first day in a while where i haven't had to stress off to something. . .. . . or so i thought at first, so i began surfing the internet for male fashion models to see how they pose (That's what the stylist wanted me to do). I surfed for a few hours but eventually the speed of this crappy internet got the best of me. . . . .it actually takes such a long time to load some homepages that after a while the computer forgets it's supposed to load the homepage. . . . hence i have to go back to the previous page and press the link again. . . . . which most of the time results in the same crappy result. . . . in other words i'm not getting anywhere with this internet haha.
So, when my irritation level had reached it's limit, and boredom had crept upon me, I decided to SMS zie german Sven, Aka. "Gunther"
After an hour i had still not gotten a reply, so i smsed Cathy and asked if she wanted to go to the gym. . . . no answer from her either. . . . .. so i continued my fruitless search for the freakin pictures online.
After a while i heard a cheerful little jingle from my mobile, and i went ZOMFG!!!!! picked it up quickly and checked who it was from. . .. my dear friend Sven. . . aka. "Gunther"
His msg said "We're going! meet us at the raffles mrt in half an hour"
so after some frantic packing of gym clothes and a rush off toward the mrt, followed by a helplessly stressful trip, i arrived at the raffles station about 45 minutes later.. . or maybe more
I met up with gunther and his new American friend Adam from los angeles, who had arrived 2 days prior to this meeting.
When we got to the gym i thought wow. . . . .judging from the entrance, i could tell this gym would be extravagant.
The walls covering the area where you wait for the elevator were made of glass, and it contained colourchanging lights, much like madonna's music videos. The elevator itself was lit up by blue neon, and the locker room had "Vip" written all over the place. . . . . . .. never before have i seen such a flashy gym. . . . and i don't think i will find a gym like this anywhere else haha. . . . .only asia. . . .. only asia. . . .
the man that took our passports for VIP registration, was a cheerful signaporian named Khai, who had apparently met Sven. . .aka. "Gunther"at nightclub.
Anyway, we got our VIP cards and after a change of clothes we entered the gym. . . .. . . and what a gym it was.
From the ceiling hung 5 giant . . . . i don't even know what to call them but they were lights anyway, mtv music was pumping up the entire room and to our exposal we had about 100 machines to work out on. I had brought my camera. . . but i had forgotten to take any pictures, my mind was occupied with other thoughts ;) I'll take pictures next time hehe
Anyway, for the following 1-2 hours we did our thing, later during our work out session a Romanien guy came as well, who apparently lived in the same appartment as Sven. . . aka. "Gunther" and Adam. Man i wish i lived with those guys. . . . . .
The gym was soemthing else. . . haha, but after the workout i was so hungry i directly called and met up with my relatives for some chow!
We ate at the place where i had my hawaiien themed birthday last year. Once again i ate myself to the point where i couldn't stand. . . .. it kinda sucked. . . again, but atleast i was satisfied hehe
And that's pretty much what happened today. . . . i'll do my best to get ahold of some pictures, and i'll have a better internet connection for the next few day because my singporian family is leaving for kambodia, so i'll be living at my uncle's palce ;) with their smelly husky dog hehe
Hope everyone's well!

Mixed Gender Changingrooms FTW
Helluuuuu
today i woke up to find another message on my cell phone.
It said that i was to go to the Gucci office for a casting call. . . for Gucci. . . shits sweeeeeeeet
So i got dressed, checked out some male runway videos on youtube for inspiration and walked around abit here at home.
Then i left the house and took a quick burger at burger king and continued my journey to the Gucci office.
On my way to the Gucci office, i found i was walking behind a tall girl. . . with some kind of dress that revealed her entire back, and it didnt cover her entire ass. . . . . . . . .so she didn't leave much for the imagination, apparently i wasn't the only one who noticed, guys walking by would turn for another look haha, anyway i bet my bottom dollar that she was heading to the same place as i was. . . . . . aaaaand i was right. . . like always. . . . .. almost
When i came into the building and took the elevator to the seventh flour a giant amount of models met my eyes haha, mostly girls ;) (some wearing even shorter skirts than the girl i saw out on the street. . . . . icke sunt for mitt sinne att jobba har).
I suppose it went alright, i was taken into a room and was told to put on a few clothes and got my picture taken in each outfit (the room where all the clothes and where the pictures were taken, was also the changing room. . . . . .and i was lucky enough to be in the room when the, in my opinion, hottest girl of the agency was in there. . . haaaaah. . . ).
I'm not sure if i'll get the job though, I don't really even have a real portfolio yet and i had to wait for 2 hours before i had my turn because there were so many models there. Most of the models were a bit older than me and they all had 1+ years of experience with impressive portfolios :P
But by god did i get to meet a lot of girls. . . .. . . . . . never before. . . . just wow haha
however, most of the guys were from Brazil and spoke portugese. . . .so that kinda sucked. I did get to talk to some of them though, i had a good long talk with an indonesian model about laptops too haha, i think i might go buy one when i get enough cash. . . . speaking of cash btw, the three shows i'm gonna do on the 12th and 13th of oct, will give me 400 sing dollars each. . . which is about 6000kr for two evenings work. . . . . all i have to do is walk back and forth on a platform. . .. . how's that for a living?!
AAAAAAnyway, after the whole gucci experience i was told to come to the agency and meet with a stylist who's supposed to take some test pictures of me, much like the ones i took in sweden.
She kept reminding me and Jane that i was very attractive and had the right features for modelling, so i guess that's good haha. She said i have the look for commercial modelling but also a bit for the fashion type of modelling. She wanted to take pictures of me in both styles so i could get both types of jobs ;)
Apparently i have a bit of a cheesy smile, and i have to relax and work on my facial expressions when i model. By cheesy smile she meant it made me look a bit younger, haha and apparently she said i have a bit of a bad boy look to me which she wanted to highlight in my pictures :P
So on the 13th i'm gonna go to a fitting with her at 9.30pm, directly after the fashion show. . . imma busy man haha
Oh, and I was also told i was good at walking and they wondered if mom had taught me :P
The stylist also said i'm well built and my back is good, they didn't want my arms to become any bigger, i just have to work on stomache and chest. . . . so starting from tomorrow it'll be the gym every day >.< weights one day, cardio the next. . . uuugh
Well when i was finished at the agency i started making my way home where i would meet my aunt and my grandparents.
I ate enchiladas and nachos. . . . .. nice
but now i'm so damn full i can literally not stand up straight. . . . . .kinda sucks
Oh well that's it for today, goodnight miss you all!
Lotsa love

When i came into the building and took the elevator to the seventh flour a giant amount of models met my eyes haha, mostly girls ;) (some wearing even shorter skirts than the girl i saw out on the street. . . . . icke sunt for mitt sinne att jobba har).
I suppose it went alright, i was taken into a room and was told to put on a few clothes and got my picture taken in each outfit (the room where all the clothes and where the pictures were taken, was also the changing room. . . . . .and i was lucky enough to be in the room when the, in my opinion, hottest girl of the agency was in there. . . haaaaah. . . ).
I'm not sure if i'll get the job though, I don't really even have a real portfolio yet and i had to wait for 2 hours before i had my turn because there were so many models there. Most of the models were a bit older than me and they all had 1+ years of experience with impressive portfolios :P
But by god did i get to meet a lot of girls. . . .. . . . . . never before. . . . just wow haha
however, most of the guys were from Brazil and spoke portugese. . . .so that kinda sucked. I did get to talk to some of them though, i had a good long talk with an indonesian model about laptops too haha, i think i might go buy one when i get enough cash. . . . speaking of cash btw, the three shows i'm gonna do on the 12th and 13th of oct, will give me 400 sing dollars each. . . which is about 6000kr for two evenings work. . . . . all i have to do is walk back and forth on a platform. . .. . how's that for a living?!
AAAAAAnyway, after the whole gucci experience i was told to come to the agency and meet with a stylist who's supposed to take some test pictures of me, much like the ones i took in sweden.
She kept reminding me and Jane that i was very attractive and had the right features for modelling, so i guess that's good haha. She said i have the look for commercial modelling but also a bit for the fashion type of modelling. She wanted to take pictures of me in both styles so i could get both types of jobs ;)
Apparently i have a bit of a cheesy smile, and i have to relax and work on my facial expressions when i model. By cheesy smile she meant it made me look a bit younger, haha and apparently she said i have a bit of a bad boy look to me which she wanted to highlight in my pictures :P
So on the 13th i'm gonna go to a fitting with her at 9.30pm, directly after the fashion show. . . imma busy man haha
Oh, and I was also told i was good at walking and they wondered if mom had taught me :P
The stylist also said i'm well built and my back is good, they didn't want my arms to become any bigger, i just have to work on stomache and chest. . . . so starting from tomorrow it'll be the gym every day >.< weights one day, cardio the next. . . uuugh
Well when i was finished at the agency i started making my way home where i would meet my aunt and my grandparents.
I ate enchiladas and nachos. . . . .. nice
but now i'm so damn full i can literally not stand up straight. . . . . .kinda sucks
Oh well that's it for today, goodnight miss you all!
Lotsa love

Why Being Social Is Rewarding
Okay. . . .. .wow. . . .check this out:
Today i woke up at 11, delayed the actual act of rising out of bed for another hour and then began my morning routine.
Just after i got out of the shower, i get a casting message on my mobile, telling me to be at Geoff Studios between 1.30-3.30.
Naturally. . . you know how i am, i took my time and kinda continued my slow morning, until i gave the agency a call and asked for directions. So now i'm off to a casting call for "Motorola". . . yeh the mobile phone company :D
Anyway when i reach the place i see a young european guy standing outside the given adress taking a smoke, so i fire up a conversation and ask whether or not he's here for the motorola casting call. Yes he is.
We go in together, i'm nervous as shit because this'll be my first casting call. Buuut all i had to do was say hey to two people and let them take 3 pictures of me hehe and that was it :P
After the photos were taken i went to the bathroom and when i exited the building i looked for the german guy, and i found him fiddeling with his mobile.
So i went up and we started talking, he ended up suggesting we share a cab to the nearest MRT station.
In the taxi we were talking about modelling and he said he lives in a model appartment with 6 other female models hahaha so he's really living the life it seems.
Anyway after a bit of talking we end up exchanging numbers and he says that he can fix VIP tickets for me to to a few clubs and a gym. . . . .. so viola now i no longer have to pay for clubs and beer or the gym! hahahah i feel invincible. . . this is so awesome, hopefully i'll get to follow him and his female entourage out on friday, he said that there are a looooot of pretty girls HAH!
Aja iaf, efter motet med honom gick jag och traffade Linda och Jane, mina "chefer" och de va jatte trevliga och fragade fragor om alla i stockholm och i singapore so de va trevligt.
Oh btw, the agency was crawling with female models at that time. . . .man i am really getting spoiled here XD
anywho, i said i needed to get my hair cut so i got the adress and what do ya know, i dun have to pay for it, more free stuff whoooo!
However. . . . .on my way to orchard road a seriously disgusting gay guy started hitting on me, and he wasn't one of those nice gay guys like Alan or Greger and that gang but this guy was. . . . sliskig. . . som fan haha
Aja i eventually managed to shake him off and i got my hair cut. Now i'm sitting in an internet cafe waiting for YeeYee and my grandparents so that we can go eat :P
So we'll see if something exciting happens, if not. . . goodnight!
