Metro and Bridal Veil
Hello!
alright so. . . uhm friday i believe. . . .
Metro show:
For Daniel Boey once again haha.
Uuuuhm. . .. nothing that special, was a pleasant show and thomas was there again (He gave me an entire workout sheet for shoulders that imma give a shot at. . . seems crazy, but he says that i'll really feel it haha) and well ofc it was as most times jsut a looot of fun.
Got there in the morning, reahearsal, went home and slept for 4 hours, went back did hair makeup, did show, went home :P. . . it really wasn't any different, can't remember that well anyway haha. Oh but it wasn't a catwalk on a stage, it was in the store, it was a VIP night so only VIP guests were running around shopping and then we put on a show for them. . . . man it felt like i'd be grabbed and raped by the audience, because it was ONLY for females that night haha.
It was me, thomas, and like 2-3 other guys, and girls were like 8-9 of them. Anyway, so when i walked down the given path the audience stood so close and it felt like they were like leaning in and i see all the women are smiling and stuff haha XD and at the end of one path where i stood and posed one of the girls went "So handsoooome" and then i almost burst out laughing haha.
Alright anyway, onto the next show!
Bridal Veil on Saturday!
Well i went to Delfi orchard. . . and as usual i was first one there and very very early. .. . i tend to ALWAYS come first to all the castings and jobs. .. . 75% of the time, i'm there before even the clients arrive haha XD but i dunno the singapore communal traffic. . i freakin HATE taking myself places here because the busses are so freakin unpredictable. . . . some days i wait for like 20min, other days the buss is standing there waiting for me. . .and it's just so damn random i hate hate hate it!
Alright anyway, i said hey i know i'm early, can i just take a seat here? The clients and their helpers were sitting in a little circle around their breakfast on the floor in the store. (I think they all work in the store. . . . and wow some of the helpers were hot hot hot XD)
They offered me some breakfast, but i had already eaten so i thanked them and just sat down, where i continued to listen to my mp3 music.
Then i saw the cute helpers were (Man helpers sound like slaves of some santa clause elf sort haha. . . i'll call them asisstants ;) running around lifting chairs and reorganizing for the show and what not. . .. and well you know what asian girls look like, they're so tiny and petite haha. . . .sooo the gentleman that i am. . . hrm. . .. hrm. . . . offered to help but they said it was alright :P so i just quietly observed them while listening to my music hehhee.
Eventually some models started arriving. . . or well the only models for this show was me and 3 girls. . .. that's it. . . .however. . .we had EIGHT, 8 freakin outfits hahaha
2 of the girls were russian. . .judging from their language i take it they were russian, so they were busy chatting away and then the third girl was from brazil. . . . surprise haha
But me and her were talking for the most part of the morning until the client told us what to do for the show. . . .
And man it was different. . .this time there wasn't any stage. . . there were only two rooms and three changing rooms. Basically we had to walk around the room and pose for a while and then go stand on a platform and pose. Then as soon as we see that the room next to the one you currently were in you walk into that room. . . basically we were to never leave a room empty. Then for me, i had to exit and go change no matter what room i was in as soon as i see Marcella (The cute brazillian girl) enter one of the rooms. . . . and i had to think of one more thing as well, normally me and one of the other girls would be out in a room at the same time, and when it was time to switch. . . ie, as soon as we were in the same room together we had to do a pose together because we were kinda like supposed to be a couple haha.
Well. . .after the rehearsal i went to go explore a bit. . . but ended up in a foodcourt eating chickenrice XD after the meal i just went back and sat around watching the three girls get their makeup and hair done. . . .i had to wait a long time becuase girls take such a long time for makeup and hair haha. Then it was finally my turn. . . . .. apparently i did not look mature enough (I was told to grow out my beard for like two days prior to the show. . .which i did btu it was not enough). My stubble wasn't big enough hehe, btu the client said np we'll use eyelash darkener or whatever it is called (Makeup is not my area of expertise. . . ) and give you an artificial beard. . .. . so the beard stretched from sideburn to sideburn lining my jawline. . . it also went up a bit in the middle and it was connected with my mustache. . . artificial mustach ;)
Well. . . eventually guests started pouring in and free wine was being served and people were taking their seats. I was pushed into my little changing room together with 2 other adults. . one male and one female. The male was very kind and nice and funny, the female. . . .she was hot but she was soooo nervous she dare not talk to anyone hahahah XD
Anyway, they were just clients of the store at an earlier point, so they jsut agreed to help by like displaying one outfit as "Guest Models"
Alright. . . .and when they did their thing it was the models turn. . . . i was a bit nervous this time actually because it was so different and becuase i felt like i was being judged considering what they had said at the casting (ie. If i do a good job i can do the two other shows. . .and let's be honest here. . . nobody likes hearing they suck XD)
well i stood there looking like i was 25+ ( I remember commenting on the fake beard. . it looked pretty good .. . i said wow. . .. so this is what i'll look like when i'm 25+. . .it was like looking into the future hahaha soooo wierd XD i tried taking a few photos for you guys . . . but the flash kinda made the beard dissapear because of the distance i was holding the camera hehe.) in my first outfit. . .they were all suits. . .. like serious suits that you see during weddings and such.
Some of them were loooong jackets, some of em had vests, some had high collars. . . . i loved it, some were so cool haha. I love wearing suits XD
Alright anyway, they said alright go alex (Because in the little room was also a stylist who would help me change quick as hell) and i walked toward the curtain and opened it up to reveal myself to the crowd. (This very moment is the same in every show. . . that second that you just walk out from behind your hiding place. . . like backstage or whatever, and you see the audience for the first time. . . .it's. . . very. . . .pleasant. . . .it's. . . exhilerating. . . all your nervosity just dissappears. . . or well it culminates into one big rush and you just walk out and . . .well yeh it's a cool moment haha)
Then i just walked out and did two rounds around the first room (I was told to not walk around in circles but to rather walk irregularily fram och tillbaks i rummet) walked up onto the platform posed again. Got down and kept on walking around in the room stopping to pose all the time, jsut trying to show everyoen the suit i was wearing in all different angles or whatever :P
Then eventually Ganna (My "Wife" for the show) decided to switch rooms and entered the one i was in so we smiled at eachother, i grabbed her around the waist, we posed for the camera and i continued to walk into the next room. There i did the same as with the first room, two rounds, platform. . .. . .. . them jsut walk around. . . . walk. . .walk som more. . .. . and omg. . . i'm like wow this is becomming really awkward. Because you see, unlike other shows there is no given time when you should exit, it all depends on how fast the other model changes. So i just kept on walking around and posing for what felt like forever, until i finally see Marcella walk out, and i'm like phew finally and then i exit hehe.
Well that's how the whole show went, stop and pose for the camera man a few times, pose for the people behind glass windows through the platfroms, pose for the people in the rooms sitting on chairs, smile all the time because were supposed to smile (I kinda just had a grin i guess :P).
And i could notice how the women in the audience would give me broad smiles and stuff hahah whooooo and the majority of them were hot whoooooo hahahah, and the hot assistants i just saw their eyes fixated on me and i gave em a little smile MWAHIfnkafhahahncakjn ok i'm going overboard but it was awesome hahahha XD
Well i kept on going and i mean i was pretty much out there for a huuuge amount of time because i changed. .. . quick as HELL i'm telling you, even i was impressed i was like BANG BANG BANG!!! done and as soon as i was done i walked out. . . . . .it went so fast a lot thanks to the guy that was helping me in the changing room, it was like i was taking off pants shoes, shirt, jacket and vest all at the same time. it went really fast anyway haha
And well ofcourse for the girls i mean they had these extravagant dresses that just looked amazing, and i understand that they must've need quite a lot more time. . . .which meant that i was outside walking around for serious amounts of time haha.
And after the 3rd outfit i came back into the changing room to change again, the stylist said (He had a microphone and an earpiece so he could communicate with the people outside and in the other fitting rooms) I have good news i'll tell you after the show. . . i was think awesooooome.
But apparently he couldn't wait so he just told me then and there "They love you out there, they LOVE you" hahahahha. . . sweeeeeeeeet
well i just kept doing my thaaang until it was finally the final 8th outfit.
Then three of us would walk into a corner for the finale, and one of the girls would walk out under a special music theme and the dress was hot hot hot, it was white, revealing most of her stomache and it was very sexy yet. . . classy like 60's kinda thing hahhaha it was hot though XD
Well after she had pranced around we were thanked (Almost all shows end with the commentator saying "Thank you models" and that's like our cue to leave or whatever) the girls curtsied (Or however you spell it :P) and i bowed, then we walking into the next room and clapped and blablabla.
Then after that everyone was told that the clothes would be put out for display and that everyone could take a look, and the models we were just walking around in their dresses or in my case suit talking and drinking and jsut having a schtekig time haha. Oh and several woman wanted their photo taken with me. . .. fnizz haha
I went and talked with two older women who i had heard earlier before the show cursing in finnish so i just had to go ask if they were from finland which they were haha, so we ended up talking for a while. Then i saw Marcella sitting down so i went and talked with her for the rest of the event. AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaand. . . . . i think that's it. . . we got dressed back into our own clothes and said goodbye. Michelle (The client) seemed so happy and she's like you better be around during the next two shows! i'll be seeing you then and thank you very much and blablabal. I also especially thanked the guy who helped dress me cause he was good and quick. . .. unlike the dresser i had today -.- but that's another story.
Anyway, me and Marcella went to the MRT together took farewell until next time and i left for home!
Great show. . .different. . . long lasting. . . .looooooong exposure. . . .great experience :P
Oh and later that night i went out with Jamie, anastasia, and a group of other female models, oh and bruno eventually came as well haha. Kenji from the polaroid boy job gave me a call as well and i invited him over to the club we were at (Butterfactory). Aaaaand. . .well i was realyl tired and i only went out because it was like Anastasia's last night in singapore, so i mean i had to :P
And after that it was sleepy time ^^
Alright. . . and as for now it is sleepy time as well, been out in town since like 7am (wake up 6am) this morning until like 10 pm
Alright i'll tell you guys about the Cortina show, and Robinsons show tomorrow!
Lotsa Love!
Alex
PS. Dad, i heard you check TTi.nu quite a lot, i am glad. The thing is that "the movie of the day" which is always displayed on the front page, and which changes when the clock strikes 00.00am
is a kind of movie which is called Free download, this is because it does not affect your Download/Upload Ratio when you download it, infact it only helps your upload which is great because the more upload you have the more non-free movies you can download.
However, if you'd like you may download a very very very limited amount of non-free movies. . . . actually just ask me through email or the blogg and i'll let you know if you can download it or not. Another thing is, if you go into the FAQ section of the homepage you can try and find the area where it describes how free movies are marked. . . that is so that you can go browse and feel free to download any movie as long as it is marked free haha. Alright goodluck! Love you
Farfar
hahaha yeh, i guess if you put yer mind to it, not much is impossible. . . . . but man it sure helps if you enjoy it, and writing about my day so you can read about it. . . .i sure don't mind ;)
I also read about your warstories, yes i've heard about the plane that attacked you and it still amazes me, ofc i'm born in a very fortunate era of time hehe.
And another thing, if you get a hold of dad, ask him if he maybe can find the game "Call of Duty 4" on TTi.nu. . . . .. that game series is one of the most amazing war games you will ever play. I haven't tried the 4th one in the series, it's very new but i heard from vincent and i've seen screenshots. . . .it's freakin insane. . . . and if you research a bit on google and find out which Call of Duty is the one about the second world war you can try and download that on my computer as well. . .. if i recall it correctly it was the 3rd game. . . .. awesome series. . . that game really made you feel like you were in the war. . . simply amazing.
Mom
Yeh let's hope i'm in singapore at all when you visit! but i'll ask the agency about it during the dead week in hong kong!
Love you miss you guys
PPS. .. . . i don't go out drinking that much, i really don't, at first yes. . . . now i haven't been out much at all. . . . and ofcourse i never go out unless i feel like it, unless it's a goodbye party of someone closer to me. In other words. . . . don't worry ;)
alright so. . . uhm friday i believe. . . .

Looootsa work :P
AAAALRIGHTY THEN!
Lat oss se har;
I got back from Bali on Monday i believe. . .
The day after (Teusday) I got to sleep a little bit but i think i had some casting that day as well. I also went to the agency and got a sheet printed out because my week would be so busy.
Then the next day (Wednesday) i had a show for Nike! All the way out to hell in Singapore Expo. . . like more than an hours trip away from the appartment
So ofcourse i had to wake up at around 6am. . . which sucked ass because i had been deprived of sleep for so long now. . . and i was not feeling well at all hehe.
Ah well i made my sleepy journey to the Expo mrt station. The Place was huuuuge, it's like 6 warehouses stuck together, the roof was high up as shiiiiet!
Apparently this is where fashion week in singapore will mainly be held, it's a place where lots of exhibitions and such things are held.
I saw there was a korean exhibition and a skin care exhibition haha.
Well i walked from Expo warehouse 6 to 3. It was so quiet and peaceful because not a soul was out yet, just one looong hallway with monotone grey paint on the walls. . . . clean and fresh.
Well i arrived at the 3rd warehouse where the Nike show was going to be held. To my delight i saw that a door was open so i knew i had come right, i walked in and saw busy people building sets and stages.
The Stage itself was huuuuuuuuge, it was an amazing set with several rows of fancy white chairs on each end. Three giant projector screens were projected onto the rear of the catwalk, and they had all colours of light flashing and smoke machines and loud music. . . it was dramatic.
Before the show they would also have a big intro like you hear a guy who's voice sounds like the ones in movie trailers "Nike has changed the face of sports, nike has become legendary. . . blablabla" Reaaaaal dramtic and extravagant!
Well apparently i was an hour early. . . .so i just kinda sat around until others started arriving (Thank god for my mp3 or i'd be bored to death).
Then people started arriving, i met Nathanial again (Sven's buddy form LA)
I met a guy named Kenji (from australia and japanese, in a totally hetero sexual way, this guy was good looking) he was short though, so he said he mostly did comercials and such. He also goes to acting school and has done some stuff affiliated with that branch of profession ;)
Then i met 2-3 other guys as well and got along very well with everyone. Great group Great day.
I had uhm. . . 4 outfits. . . .or 5. . . can't remember, and one of the outfits were a speedy change so i had to stress through that one hehe.
But yeh the show was awesome, and it's probably the biggest one i've done so far, i felt like a king haha.
The next day (Thursday) I had to wake up at 5am and go to the same place. . . uuuuuuuuugh. . . .i finished work at 10pm the day before and got home at like 11pm. . .. i mean CMOOON!
Ah well this show was pretty much the same thing, the show was at 2.30 pm and almost the same people, a lot of fun. . . just very tiring hehe.
Then directly after the show, me, Daniel Boey and Kenji had to rush off in Daniel's car to the next job at Tangs.
They were having some opening ceremoni or anniversary or something like that hehe.
Anyway, two boys had to dress up in Angel wings, and paint their bodies bronzed with nothing but a golden pair of short, shorts on haha. Then two guys had to be polaroid boys, we dressed up in white polo shirt and white pants with white shoes, and then 2 girls were dressed up as. . .. . i dunno what the hell they were. .. i have pictures though ahha.
It was a loooot of fun, i just ran around asking the guests if they wanted to get their picture taken with one of the "Angels" or one of the. . .. girls. .. . or if they just wanted a picture with the people they were there with. It was a VIP show so only the people affiliated with this ceremoni were allowed in, same with the Nike shows. So the relatives couldn't see any of this hehe.
Ah well it was a lot of fun and many times i had to get infront of the camera lense as well for the guests haha. And there was free wine as well so me and Thomas, a guy from Canada, the second polaroid boy, we ewre both walking around with one hand on the camera and the other hand holding a glass of wine. .. . . we looked pretty sophisticated in our white polo's i must say haha.
But it was greaaat, and i got along so well with the Kenji and Thomas and the other angel guy haha. No but this was a real. . . . really great night, day hehe even if it started so freakin early :P
Alright, imma try and get some pictures up, was a while ago.
I'll write about the Metro show, Bridal Veil show, Cortina show, and Robinsons show tomorrow!
Btw, one of the girls that did the Nike show was also the covergirl of the men's magazine Maxim. . .. whoa haha
Oh and i walked into the office today and Jane yelled at me! Alex! what have you done to Michelle?!
I'm like shit. .. . who's michelle. . .wth have i done?. . . But Jane yelled out, she's the client for the Bridal Veil show! She looooves you!
Hahahaha she's like you charmed the shit out of her, what did you do? hahahah i jsut went "Tehhee, well. . . what can i saaaay?" So thanks to that, i scored two more shows with her comming up in january and April i think haha :D
Oh, and i talked with the woman that worked with CLEO in Indonesia. . . this is what she had to say (Facebook):
" Anyway, do you know something funny? Cleo office here in Jakarta your picture is like all over the place. suprise your ehheem, should i say Hot? "
Whooooooo my picture is all over a females fashion magazine office nanananannanaaaa hahahah XD
Alright gotta go!
Lotsa Love!

Lat oss se har;
I got back from Bali on Monday i believe. . .
The day after (Teusday) I got to sleep a little bit but i think i had some casting that day as well. I also went to the agency and got a sheet printed out because my week would be so busy.
Then the next day (Wednesday) i had a show for Nike! All the way out to hell in Singapore Expo. . . like more than an hours trip away from the appartment
So ofcourse i had to wake up at around 6am. . . which sucked ass because i had been deprived of sleep for so long now. . . and i was not feeling well at all hehe.
Ah well i made my sleepy journey to the Expo mrt station. The Place was huuuuge, it's like 6 warehouses stuck together, the roof was high up as shiiiiet!
Apparently this is where fashion week in singapore will mainly be held, it's a place where lots of exhibitions and such things are held.
I saw there was a korean exhibition and a skin care exhibition haha.
Well i walked from Expo warehouse 6 to 3. It was so quiet and peaceful because not a soul was out yet, just one looong hallway with monotone grey paint on the walls. . . . clean and fresh.
Well i arrived at the 3rd warehouse where the Nike show was going to be held. To my delight i saw that a door was open so i knew i had come right, i walked in and saw busy people building sets and stages.
The Stage itself was huuuuuuuuge, it was an amazing set with several rows of fancy white chairs on each end. Three giant projector screens were projected onto the rear of the catwalk, and they had all colours of light flashing and smoke machines and loud music. . . it was dramatic.
Before the show they would also have a big intro like you hear a guy who's voice sounds like the ones in movie trailers "Nike has changed the face of sports, nike has become legendary. . . blablabla" Reaaaaal dramtic and extravagant!
Well apparently i was an hour early. . . .so i just kinda sat around until others started arriving (Thank god for my mp3 or i'd be bored to death).
Then people started arriving, i met Nathanial again (Sven's buddy form LA)
I met a guy named Kenji (from australia and japanese, in a totally hetero sexual way, this guy was good looking) he was short though, so he said he mostly did comercials and such. He also goes to acting school and has done some stuff affiliated with that branch of profession ;)

Grand Finale!
Hello!
Was great hearing your voices again ;) Miss you guys!
Alright so where were we?
Right, me and Doug (England) had gotten out of the pool and I was now on my way down for makeup and hair :P
Down in the room there were a lot of people running around, female models were getting their stuff ready, other models and presentors were getting their stuff ready.
Ah well i grabbed a dinnerbox, and started eating.
I noticed the guy for puerto rico had written an answer for the question he was going to be asked on stage. . . so he was memorising it at that moment. . . . i just looked at him with my mouth full of food and like "Holy shit dude. .. . you've memorised your answer?"
haha i hadn't prepared shiiiiet, i figured i'll just go freestyle it. . .
Then a lady told me to come talk with her, which i did becuase she was surrounded with models haha. . Anyway, turns out she was the mother of some model, and well i jsut talked with them for a while, the younger female model was so shy, jsut looked at me and said not a word haha.
Well. . . . i guess it wasn't much different from any other makeup thing, jsut sit down infront of a mirror and close your eyes :P
My hair was. . . . how did they do my hair. . . . i have no idea hehe, i forgot :P ah who cares anyways :P
So it had already become dark and the stage was lit up and everything.
People were stressin like mad.
I was sitting by the pool with some of the other models just chillin mcgrillin.
Show was gonna start in a while so we got our stuff together, ie our outfits;
1. Casual Wear - clothes from EXR, a jacket and jeans. . looked pretty nice
2. Designer - Clothes from the indonesian designer, the Batik shirt (Pretty nice) and a pair of pants that i call giraffe pants. . .. he was prolly high on crack when he made them. . .
3. Swimwear - uugh skimpy little swimming trunks -.-
4. Eveningwear - The suit the agency bought me. . .shit's tiiiiight! :D
Anyway, eventually the organizers told us to get prepared. The butterflies started flapping away in my stomache and my throat felt dry like a desert :P
The female models were told to get into their positions in backstage, the contestants were told to hold. Then on went the big projector screen, and the speakers started shouting, UUUGH INTERNATIONAL MAN BLABLABLABLA, and pictures were dramatically exploding on the scene and the whole thing was like BOOM in your face hahaha. It had the feeling of a hollywood movie trailer with the voice booming away and explosions and what not haha. I remember telling one of the other contestants "Whoa dude. . .. holy shit haha"
Well the girls did their catwalk first, then we were told to go line up in the backstage.
Then the announcers or "Hosts" i guess is more suitable, said "Now the tiem you have all been waiting for. . .blablablabla"
And on we went with our first outfits. Spotlights were shining in our faces and the stage was amazing. I saw the 6 judges sitting on a table upfront smiling at us.
If i remember the sequence correctly, i was the 4th one to go out on stage. so then i'd walk to the end and pose, then walk to the beginning corner and pose, then walk to the opposite side of the beginning and stand, where eventually the models formed a V shape formation with Mr.Indonesia in the middle. (Everyone was screaming and shiet when Mr.Indonesia came out haha)
After that formation was formed, the first guy that went out (Yuki form Japan) started walking to the end of the catwalk before he exited, just as all the other models would do after him.
Now as soon as we got backstage it was just to start running to the place where you change, the next outfit was the designer clothes i think.
This time we walked out from behing the backstage, to the front of the catwalk and then back to the beginning and then upfront again to where the hosts would be standing so they could ask a question for us to answer :P
This was what i was most nervous about because i didn't feel like talking infront of the crowd :P
Buuuuut the moment came so i just walked out and the hosts introduced me, "Alex from sweden blablabal youngest contestant he's only 18. . . . .(at the point i was walking back to the front of the stage, and i started mouthing at the hosts that i was 19. . . apparently they didn't understand and just said). . . Little rascal. . . .Uuuugh hate being portrayed as the kid. .. . hate it hate it hate it. . . .
Anwyay, my question was about my prao as a reindeer keeper in norrland hahaha XD I'm like Uuuuugh can you imagine 100's of reindeers jsut running around you. . .wild reindeers!
Then i exited, others had like. . . Jemmy and Douglas did quick karate and kungfu demonstrations, The dude from the phillipines did some on stage acting :P (I saw him kneeling on the stage holding one of the female judges hands. . i think he was proposing XD)
The guy from puerto rico i heard was going on about how priviledged he felt about taking care of some children, i dunno what was wrong with them, but that was the only phrase i heard hahahaha XD sooooo cheesy. . .
Ah well, after that the girls had put on swimwear and it was their turn to go out on stage, all the contestants were just staring and laughing and going like "DAAAAMN!" hahahha
Well well, when they had gone out and taken their positions on the stage, we walked out and took our positions next to our designated model. I grabbed mine around the waist and posed together with her in our skimpy little swimwears haha
Then they left the stage after caressing our chests. . . . . nice. . . .
Well then we walked to the end of the stage and exited through the backstage.
Now i just breathed out because the two parts i was nervous about were over! The swimwear and the question asking XD
Now there was a long break so i calmly put on my suit and all that stuff, walked back into the makeup room, talked with some people joked around (I heard that i had gotten a little fanclub amongst the female models. . . WHOOOO WHOOO!!!)
Well eventually the time came and we walked out on stage to show off the evening wear, then i thiiink we walked backstage again. Anyway, we eventually ended up back on stage again in the same positions as during the swimwear sequence. . .. just that this time there were no girls. . . . nor any extensive skin exposure!
Then they said it was time to count up the top 5. Now my heart was pumping because i kept requesting to god that i'd come top five becuase i figured that'd be awesome haha :D
And hey what do ya know! after they announced Mr.Brazil i hear Mr.Sweden! So i walked to the end of the stage under the serenade of applause, turned and walked back (the top 5 were supposed to form a line a bit closer to the end of the stage) smiling and making stupid facial expressions to my friends :D
I was very happy when i saw that both Jemmy AND Jonas made top 5 (We were all carrie's models)
The final top 5 was Mr.Indonesia.
Well, after that we walked back behind backstage and i was so happy and what not.
Then it was time to go out again into the swimwear positions again.
And then ofc dramatically they would announce the first and second runner ups. I was thinking at this point. . . .hey i wouldn't mind making 1st or second runner up. . . that's be freakin awesome!
So i once again started pestering god with my pleas haha.
Second runner up . . . . . .. . . .. . . Mr. Brazil! (I'm like holy shit really? crap i dun think i can get frist runner up then. . . because i figured Brazil would win. . . He came second in the Mr.World competition. . .which is apparently big)
But i kept on pleaing to god, cmon cmon cmooooon first runner up would be sick!
Buuuut noooope not that either and then i'm just like aaaaaaaaaaw. . . .ah well top 5 isn't bad!
Mr. Indonesia was first runnerup btw.
Then the lights shut off and dancers came out dancing around us, then a strobe light started flashing on and off and music started playing. One of Indonesia's top supermodels made her dramatic entrance onto the stage carrying the crown. (She was drop dead gorgeous btw, same girl, me and a few other guys had a photoshoot together with on the beach a few days earlier)
I kept looking over my shoulder at Jemmy because i was 90% certain that he would win.
I was trying to keep a neautral happy smile on my face in an attempt to look as undisturbed as possible when i find out that i didn't win. (Yes i realize the grammar in that sentence is shot to hell. . . .)
Because i was so sure that there is not a snowballs chance in hell that i come first.
So i kept looking over at Jemmy every now and then, the supermodel walked around him, but kept on walking, i'm like huh. .. . prolly Jonas then. . . so i jsut stood there and stared out into the nightsky, at this point i was jsut happy being where i was, i was so certain i wasn't gonna win so to me i had already been awarded with the position i thought i was going to get at that time.
Then boom. . . WTF?! i feel a freakin crown being put on my head. . . .. . .
I'm like NO FKIN WAY!
HAhahahhahah hooooly shiiiiiiiieeet, my monotone neutral smile just became one of those smiles where people think i'm blind. I walk out on the stage doing the typical ice hockey segergest where they kinda jam there arm up and down.
I was like. . . no .. this isn't happening haha
Twice during that shoort walk to the end of the stage i thought to myself "Wait am i dreaming?. . . . " Then i made sure i could feel the crown pushing my head down and the ground under my feet, and the clothes on my skin. . . ."Yep. . .. holy shit it is happening"
Cheers and lights were flashing everywhere and i got a trophy and i don't exactly remember who it was that put the sash around my neck.
the top 3 together with the supermodel then stood out on the end of the catwalk and let people take pictures of us for like freakin 20 minutes.
Then when i got back to the place where we had been changing clothes everyone congratulated me and like a billion people wanted their photos taken with me, then i had to go stand somewhere and let the professional photografer take like a billion pictures with a billion other people. . . and after a while i jsut wanted to go back to my quiet hotel room and sleep hehe.
Well that's how it felt to be a celebrity then. . . . just stand around and get yer picture taken for like an hour and a half. . . . . . .Not bad. . . Although i was still in my evening suit. . . .with a freakin huge assed crown on my head. .. . . . sweatty?. . . NOOOOO OFC NOT!
Eventually i got changed and entered the seriously airconditioned room of mine.
There i met Yuki and like 5 of his lady friends who had been waiting. I greeted them, got my picture taken, and took farewell of Yuki becuase he was leaving, and so did the girls ;)
I heard from Jemmy that he had seen one of the contestants with tears in his eyes. . .. so i kinda felt sorry for him though :P
Well i changed and then i headed out to the club with some people and it was a lot of fun, one of the judges joined us and she said they had unanimously agreed i'd be the winner, so that made me happy haha :D
Well i got 2 hours sleep that night, the next morning i had a photoshoot with CLEO and after that Carrie's models took farewell of everyone, i grabbed quite a few emails and such, and we left for home!
Now i'm getting lots of emails from various people all asking how i'm having it and what not haha, here check this one out:
Dear Alex, It was indeed nice to know you. The young girls simply adore you very much. We talk about you often. It is always nice to meet young people from all over the world. We love living in Bali because of this reason. We hope that you are well in Singapore. We called the Novotel on Tuesday, but we were told that you had checked out the day before. Perhaps we will see each other again somewhere, somehow. Keep up the good work. All the best always. Alida, Nakita's mother.
From the mother with the models around her i was talking with earlier that night haha XD
Ah well, it's 3am here now, imma go to beeed!
I'm sure i've prolly missed soemthing, so if i remember something i'll write it tomorrow ;)

Jeeeuuuuppp. . . dun wanna brag buuuut. .. ya knooooow. . .. . jeeeeeuuuup
Heeeeeeej!
fan vad sjukt. . .. . . pardon my french; but holy ******* shit. .. . . ..
Aja. . . . Sunday. . .
So once again it was an early assed morning. . .. hate early mornings. . . .
I woke up first, took a shower, woke Jemmy up, told him it was time to get ready.
When he was done we headed to a room pretty nearby where the Swimsuit and Evening Suit judging and interview would take place.
Me and jemmy were the first ones there. . .. . .
However, we ran into one of the organizers on the way there which was lucky. . . because the suite (Room) was locked and noone was in it at the moment hehe. So the organizer unlocked the door for us and showed us into a room where we could change. . . . into the skimpy little gay swimwear shit hehe
Well eventually more of the models started arriving until we were all there (Mr.Phillipines was late as shiet :P)
Well we were told to just walk into the room where 4 judges + 5 other organizors would be sitting.
The 4 judges would judge us first on how we look in the swimwear (Shiiiiet. . . ) then how we look in the Evening Suit, and finally the interview (eeek)
We were told to walk in a "T" formation. So walk into the room, walk forward, walk left, walk right, walk into center again, and then leave.
I'm telling you. . . it was sooo wierd. . .. because there was no music and the judges + co didn't say a word, they just watched you walk silently in the embarassingly silent room hahahha
I couldn't really stand the quietness so before i left the room in my tiny swimwear, on the last pose infront of the judges i gave a half constipated look and flexed my arms inward comically haha, so i got some laughs and smiles haha
Well then i walked in again, and everyone agreed about how wierd and awkward it felt walking into a room with people just staring silently at you :P
Then i changed into my evening wear and walked in when it was my turn, did my thing, and left the room.
Now came the part i was worried about (well i was worried about the swimwear actually. . . but this i've never done before so it was new and freaky), The interview part hehe.
The first guy goes in, Yu-ki from Japan. . . . he's in there. . . .. he's in there a bit longer. . .. . he's still in there. .. . . when the hell is he gonna come out? what the hell are the asking him?!. . . . . .aaah here he comes.
Immediately everyone's like zamg, what'd they ask bla bla blabl a.
He just said it was a lot easier than it sounds, it was pretty much just talk, questions about what modelling meant for him and like what he would do if he won the competition. I remember thinking that i'll answer "I'm gonna go out and save the world if i win" ofc not seriously, but in a sarcastic way because it's just such a lame answer hahaha XD
Poor Jemmy seemed really afraid, because he doesn't feel comfortable with english, so he kept asking me like oooh what can i say and blablabla. I did my best and told him, hey don't worry, they know you're not comfortable with english so they can't possibly deduct any points if you can't answer a question. . . besides there's no wrong answer in an interview i told him. I just told him to go in and your thing hehe, actually i was really nervous as well ^^
Well eventually it was my turn.
I walk in, sit down and say hello to everyone. The 4 judges consisted of, Ein from CLEO magazine, Jane from Carrie's, Teddy from TM Artist Management, Cara from Beach House and finally KETUT from Novotel. I now realize there were five judges ;)
(bear with me hehe, i've only barely slept 2 hours last night. . . . It's been like this the whole week, the first night we got 3 hours sleep, then after that it's been like maximum 6 hours sleep. . . . most of the time around 5 hours. . . . . because we have to wake up real early n stuff :P)
Alright, so i was jsut being myself i guess. They asked me to simply introduce myself, name, age, nationality. Then they asked me to tell them something about my side. . .
. . . ..I went quiet. . .. uuuuhm?. . . . . what do you mean about my side?. . .. like sweden? :/
The man from novotel said, yes anything you want.
I started with. . . .Weeeeell. . . .. Sweden has four seasons. . .. . hahahahhahaha and from there i just kept going and i told them about what i missed from sweden, what sweden was like. . .. yadda yadda.
Then beforei k new it. . . it was already over, so i thanked the judges and walked back into the room with the other models. Jemmy jumped me instantly, and i said aaah don't worry it was so laid back, just say whatever you feel like, it wasn't stiff or hard at all haha, don't worry.
So i started changing back to my normal outfit (Shorts and a tshirt at that time) and slowly packed my stuff together (Japan had already ran out)
I decided to wait a while. . .. i had nothing better to do, so i just sat in the room and watched MTV with 8 other models.
I also got acqainted with the previous night's MR.INDONESIA winner, becuase he was the only one that hadn't been with the group everyday for the past week.
Well i waited till he finished his interview, then he suggested we leave the appartment, which we did. Said goodbye to the judges and left.
I went to my room, he went to his room.
I sat around and watched some television back in the room while i waited for the others. . . i also attempted to all asleep on the couch until the boys returned.
Eventually it was time for us to head down to the catwalk on the pool for rehearsal.. . . . .ofc, it was delayed because the dancers that dance between our catwalks during the actual contest, were having their rehearsal and lots of stuff was being prepared and what not. So i eventually ran back to the room because i was sweating so much. Grabbed my swimming shorts, ran back, jumped into the pool together with Douglas (England), Lucas (Brazil), Jonas (Fureastndask. . whatever it was called :P) and i believe Marc joined us as well (Singapore)
We pretty much just relaxed in the pool right infront of the stage, watching the dancers dance, because some of them were kinda hot.
Then it was our turn to rehearse, so we got out of the pool and we all went backstage, still wet because they don't seem to have any towels near the pool. . . so we just went shirtless and swimming shorts :P
This time the rehearsal was a bit more interesting hehe, 12 female models were to be rehearsing with us.
But first they had to rehearse for a catwalk they were gonna do just before we went out with our first outfit later that night.
And it was hilaaaarious. Manos (Greece) his english is terrible. . . . . but the words he knows are hilarious and he himself is just a really funny guy hahaha. But what utmarker honom mest. . . . . is his incredible lust for women hahahhahaa
During the whooole female model rehearsal, me Douglas and Manos were standing right in the entrance to the backstage and checking out the models do their sexy little walks haha.
So the Coreographer would say to a girl, ok then you go here, then manos would say from behind the entrance. . . no no. . . come come here, come here girl, come.
And. . . . i can't really describe it but i was laughing my aaaasssss off hahahha he was literally hitting on every girl close enough hahaha and they were just laughing and keeping their distance XD I love that guy hahaha
He also thinks i look like jim carey. . . and strangely. . . everyone seemed to agree. . . .i think it's just because i was really fooling around that day and made people laugh a lot haha
Anyway,
Me and england, Douglas, also get along very well. He has the same humour as Edward in Malmo. So we were jsut messing around with eachother and it was just a really fun rehearsal hehe.
Anyway, the sequences had changed a bit since the last time we rehearsed, now that girls were involved.
So this time during the swimwear catwalk, the girls would already be out on the stage with their tiny bikini's on, and then we would come in with our tiny bikini's and my girl would put her arm on my shoulder and i would grab her around the waist. . . . then when the girls leave, they will walk around us dragging their hands along our chests. . .. . . .. . . nice. . . .. XD
Well after the rehearsal i wanted to jump into the pool again, and i urged Douglas to stay as well. . . . .. . soooo. . . .for the next hours we just fooled around in the pool.
Finally a girl who was apparently going to be one of the hosts tonight came to each and every contestant in order to formulate a question. This was in order to not shock the contestant and ask something he can't answer at all. Mine wasn't really clear. . . she said she'd ask something about mitt praoande i norrland or soemthing else about sweden. . . i'm like yeh alright np.
Well after that we continued to stay in the pool for quite some time until it was time to go back to the room, take a shower and come down for the final minutes before the show. . . .. .
Now i'm going to bed because i'm literally about to die. . . i really think that i will die if i do not go to bed right now. . . . so i'll continue tomorrow haha bummer innit ;)
Here's some webpages i found. . . . but i haven't found the official homepage solemnly for the competition yet. . . sooooo i'll have to search for that.

PS. I'm back in Singapore now, the reason why i couldn't write anything yesterday, was because Mr.singapore had come and borrowed the adapter that we had borrowed from the reception. . . which meant that Jemmy's laptop eventually died. . . . .which sucked. . . and i couldn't find anyway to tell you guys >.<
Thanks for the comments on the previous post :D
Lena: That is a crown thing :P i'll tell about the competition itself tomorrow ;)
fan vad sjukt. . .. . . pardon my french; but holy ******* shit. .. . . ..
Aja. . . . Sunday. . .
So once again it was an early assed morning. . .. hate early mornings. . . .
I woke up first, took a shower, woke Jemmy up, told him it was time to get ready.
When he was done we headed to a room pretty nearby where the Swimsuit and Evening Suit judging and interview would take place.
Me and jemmy were the first ones there. . .. . .
However, we ran into one of the organizers on the way there which was lucky. . . because the suite (Room) was locked and noone was in it at the moment hehe. So the organizer unlocked the door for us and showed us into a room where we could change. . . . into the skimpy little gay swimwear shit hehe
Well eventually more of the models started arriving until we were all there (Mr.Phillipines was late as shiet :P)
Well we were told to just walk into the room where 4 judges + 5 other organizors would be sitting.
The 4 judges would judge us first on how we look in the swimwear (Shiiiiet. . . ) then how we look in the Evening Suit, and finally the interview (eeek)
We were told to walk in a "T" formation. So walk into the room, walk forward, walk left, walk right, walk into center again, and then leave.
I'm telling you. . . it was sooo wierd. . .. because there was no music and the judges + co didn't say a word, they just watched you walk silently in the embarassingly silent room hahahha
I couldn't really stand the quietness so before i left the room in my tiny swimwear, on the last pose infront of the judges i gave a half constipated look and flexed my arms inward comically haha, so i got some laughs and smiles haha
Well then i walked in again, and everyone agreed about how wierd and awkward it felt walking into a room with people just staring silently at you :P
Then i changed into my evening wear and walked in when it was my turn, did my thing, and left the room.
Now came the part i was worried about (well i was worried about the swimwear actually. . . but this i've never done before so it was new and freaky), The interview part hehe.
The first guy goes in, Yu-ki from Japan. . . . he's in there. . . .. he's in there a bit longer. . .. . he's still in there. .. . . when the hell is he gonna come out? what the hell are the asking him?!. . . . . .aaah here he comes.
Immediately everyone's like zamg, what'd they ask bla bla blabl a.
He just said it was a lot easier than it sounds, it was pretty much just talk, questions about what modelling meant for him and like what he would do if he won the competition. I remember thinking that i'll answer "I'm gonna go out and save the world if i win" ofc not seriously, but in a sarcastic way because it's just such a lame answer hahaha XD

I'm on FIRE!
Hello!
Well well well. . . . alright
So today we woke up at 8.30, then we found out nothing was happening till 1pm, then someone called and told us to come down for fitting at 9.45am. . . . ..
Well we did the fitting for EXR, some racing brand from Korea.
Then after that some of the guys were going to go shop and i decided to join in.
We took a Van out to a place with shopping malls and lots of botiques such as Billabong, quicksilver and Volcom.
It was very nice to walk around each shop with the guys, and it's so funny because we were like 5 guys, all of us are very tall compared to the indonesians, and we are much bigger as well. (Mr. Brazil has a waist size of 37. . . .. i have 32 haha he is one of the biggest guys i've ever met :P. . . except for sixten ofc. . . . .hrm) So we made a looot of heads turn hahaha
Anyways, at 1pm we were told to come back for a photoshoot for the women's magazine "CLEO"
And jeeez. . . . . ofc the first shoot was with the skimpy gay little swimmingtrunks hahaha
Ah well i had to jump into the water and pose and stuff. . . . really gay :P
Well after that, the lady directing the shoot told me to stay for a while, and she also told Jemmy and Mr.England to stay a while as well.
It turns out we were gonna have a second shoot for the magazine, not all the contestants this time, just us three, and two female models they had called in.
Well, so in the shoot we were all in swimming wear. . . adn i'd be lying if i said the girls weren't attractive haha.
We took a few photos, and then she also requested mr.Brazil (The big guy) to come and take a few photos.
Next she wanted us to go to the beach for a third photoshoot, still only us 4 guys and some female models haha :D
So we went there and did some gay baywatch running photos and stuff hahaa, and the second model that joined us there was a top model in jakarta, indonesia. . . . beaaaauuuuutiful, she's also the girl that will be choosing the winner of the contest tomorrow. . . or well not choose as in judge but she will display the winner so to say :P
Well after that we came home again, btw the beach is private for the hotel, so a big white sanded beach with practically noone on it haha! Oh and the 4 of us that had the photoshoot at the beach; Me, Jemmy, Brazil and England, also got a second T-shirt :D mine was from billabong. . . .another free 500kr t-shirt for me whooooo!
As soon as we came home we had to do a fitting for a catwalk we were gonna do tonight in between the Mr.INDONESIA catwalks.
The clothes were schtekiga white clothes, and a necklace. . . it was pretty alright clothes actually, very airy so it wasn't sweaty like it usually is haha.
Well i also did hair and makeup, and as usual the stylist hit on me. . . . and as usual it was a male. . . .and as usual it was a shemale. . . . .. hahahaha XD
Well after that we joined the other contestants out by the pool and jsut waited till dark.
Then at 8.30pm MR.INDONESIA began, the stage is awesome, it's a stage out in the pool so if you fall you're gonna become all wet hehe.
Well first the Mr.indonesia contestants did their thing and the comentators (One female, One Male) were screaming away.
After their catwalk, it was our turn. We stood behind the stage and as they called out our name we did our thing.
I was the 4th to go.
It was a boost of confidence when the crowd cheered all of a sudden. . . which they did not do to the other contestants hahahah Mr.Brazil got cheers as well though.
Well after that we changed into our own clothes and joined the audience to watch the rest of the Mr.Indonesia contest. It wasn't just the contestants walking, there was a lot of dancers performing in tiny little outfits not leaving much to the imagination haha.
The manager of sales of the Hotel that sponsored us, she is often around and talks with us, and manages stuff hehe. Anyway, she came up to me and requested a few pictures with me and her, she said she wanted her sons to look like me when they grow up hahahaha.
She also showed me the pamphlet book for both the Indonesian and international contests. The little booklet had pictures of each of the models and we got to look through it, i asked her for a pamphlet so i can send home to you guys, and she said she'd fix it for me tomorrow hehe.
During the final stages of the competition (Judging and stuff like that) one of the guys managing the Mr.International contest came up to me. He's a bit younger than the others and we get along pretty well, he's the guy who fixes the transportation and such when we ask for it.
Anyway. . . . earlier that night i had been looking at a section of the crowd which had a few women in black dresses, they were all slim and beautiful, i figured they must be models as well.
Well, as it turns out, the guy i was talking about had been sent to me by one of the girls, apparently she wanted to meet me hahaha. . . WHOOOOOOOOO HELL YEHAAAA!!!! She's apparently half indonesian and half american :D Jodie is her name i think. . .
I laughed and told him i'd go meet her after the indonesian show, because i wanted to see who won.
He agreed and sat with us for a while, and he told me that apparently the table next to us were talking about me as well. . . .. as usual the table was filled with guys though hahaha. . . . .sigh/. . . so many gays XD
Anyway, he had to eventually run off and do something.
Btw, i'm the youngest contestant, out of both all the indonesian contestants and of all the international contestants :P
Well the show ended and i saw that the girl had walked off.
We went back to the place where we had the fitting and makeup to get some food for a late night snack hehe.
The guy who was sent by the girl was there, and i said aaaw she left before i had a chance to say hello, and he told me "yeah yeah, she told me she'll meet up with you tomorrow after the show". . . .. . yeeeeeeeeh it's oooon. . . . . .hahah
Well, now we're at home again, early day tomorrow as usual :P
Apparently some basterd woman is gonna come and interview mr. Japan, china, puerto rico and me tonight with a TV camera and what not. . .. . they said that the time they will come is a surprise. . . .. surprise my ass it's 0:18am and i gotta wake up at 7am tomorrow. . . screw them i'm going to bed!
Well, tomorrow's the show, i'm not that nervous it's very relaxed and it's pretty fun. . . i like catwalks :D
- First outfit will be casual wear (clothes from EXR)
- Second outfit will be the clothes we got from the awarded indonesian designer i talked about earlier.
- Third outfit will be freakin swimwear again >.<
- Final Outfit will be the suit I had made back in singapore
Well, that's about it!
Goodnight for now!

Alex

More free stuff and just simply one hell offa time!
Heeey!
Ok, so now i'm back home the time is 1.27am, not too late so that's nice!
Anyways
Today i woke up at first 6 am, then i decided, uuugh who cares i need my sleep more than a breakfast so i screwed the alarm clock and went back to bed until 7am, which was when one of the organizers called our room and told us to come down for makeup.
I went down got my makeup done, as usual one of the stylist hit on me. . . .and as usual it was a guy. . .. and this time it was a shemale. . . .atleast i think it was a female, if he/she isn't a female i plead for an apology haha!
Anyway, after that i went to the spa in the hotel with the clothes we got from the indien designer yesterday. Then i had one photoshoot which only took like 1 min, i just had to stand in a dooropening and. . . .. "pose" haha.
After that i rejoined the others waiting for their turn to do the same thing.
After a while of waiting it was my turn again to take a photo without the shirt on at all infront of a kinda waterfallish wall. . . . . .in other words, the wall had water running down it :P
So i just spande mag musklerna sa hart jag kunde och drog pa ett seriost ansikts uttryck hahah
Och efter det vare dags for swimmingwear shoot >..<. . . . .>.<. . .. . . nej nej nej alltsa >.<. . . .. aaaa vad bogig swimmingtrunk dem har gett oss hahaha. Ajaj ag hade iaf tur, jag behovde bara hoppa i vattnet och typ slanga mig upp over vatten ytan for bilden, sa jag visade bara overkroppen haha. (Btw jag har fatt feta utslagen pa laren efter att jag rakade benen hahaha aldrig igen. . . aldrg igen. . . .)
Ok efter det sa fragade jag om vi var klara, sa (Ingen kan fixa till mitt har. . .allt de gor ser bara gay ut som bara den hahaha) och jag fragade om vi fick hoppa i polen och bada. De sa ja, och jag hoppade i. Snart efter mig hoppade resten i, till slut var alla i vattnet. AAAAAAA goodness what a wonderful pool it is! could've been a bit colder water i guess. . . but then again i AM from sweden :P
Anyway after the swim some guys asked me to go the beach with them, but me and jemmy decided to go back to the appartment and sleep instead (Btw we got another pair of slippers. . . . fett seriosa slippers denna gang in leather and everything.)
Alright, so me and jemmy went to bed for 2 hours, then i ate some food, but omg it was sooooooo spicey. . . . however i force fed myself and ate it. . . . . i was literally drooling because my moth had gone numb from the spicyness hehe.
After the nap, I took a shower, woke Jemmy up, urged him to get ready, and together we walked down to the newly set up stage and did a rehearsal for sunday night.
Apparantley tomorrow we will also be doing a catwalk for BILLABONG!
Well anyway, the rehearsal was very simple, 4 sequences, the first is casual wear, the second is the indian designer's clothes, the third is swimwear >.<, and the final is a suite.
It was fun and everyone was relaxed and i generally tend to enjoy rehearsals becasue everyone just kinda fools around and well poses like they want in funny ways and walks in funny ways. . . it's just very laid back :D
At first it only the 2 brazillian models had their shirt off. . . but omg Bali is soooooooooooooo hot and the sun is just directly down on you, so eventually i couldn't stand it anymore and i removed my shirt pretty early during the rehearsal and so did everyone else. And now because of this i am a bit red on my chest haha.
Well after a while. . . .. . i can't remember what we did, but after a while we met again in the lobby of the hotel where we were gonna take a shuttle buss to the CLEO nightclub.
So we met up with all the other guys and i heard about how great the beach was, apparently it's a private beach exclusively for the people staying at the hotel, so i'm like SHIIIIIIIET DUDE IMMA FOLLOW YOU GUYS TOMORROW! (OK so i've just read this part through a little bit and i realize i've mixed it up a bit, but basically this is what we have done today just in another sequence of events hehe)
Well eventually the shuttle buss came and took us far far away to a hoiday in hotel.
There, they had set up a beautiful dining area. . . . outside though so thanks to my father's genes i was sweating like an . . .. ok i dunno what to compare my father's sweat with because he prolly sweats the most inte world. . .. . . . just like me haha
But the food was great, the people are awesome. . .. . . i was also taken up one stage to dance a traditional Balinese dance hahaha, the girl i was dancing with kept commenting on how good i was. . . .i myself was just fooling around hahah, like putting my leg up and shaking my hand underneath it. . . . well i can't really explain but you guys know how i am when i fool around :P
Well, after the dance and like 5 dishes of buffet food we went back to the buss and left for a club called "Day Dream" I took lots of pictures and the club was amazing, it had a pool in the middle and it was an open bar and it was just awesome. I will upload the photos on facebook as soon as i come home!
Anyway it was an extremely pleasant night and people asked me to go talk to lots of designers and what not so i got introduced to a lot of people tonight haha. Well. . .. basically life is great. . .. really it's aweosme :D
Alright now after the buss ride home (I spent the whole long trip talking to some girl managing the event, about how sucky it was that we had to wake up so early hahaha ofc i was pleasant and joking around but still i subliminally message to her that i was unpleased with that they told us we had to wake up at 5am when they KNEW they had sent us to a club late at night with an open bar!)
So eventually, now we can sleep until 8am haha :D
Oh btw, Jane and Kit have arrived i met and talked with them for a while at the CLEO night club :D
Alright./ . .. . . . well i better go to bed now because i need my sleep or i'll just be suicidal tomorrow!
Love
Alex!
PS. Farfar, AND mom & dad, i'll be yer nice little boy for as long as i live. . . . .. .. . .. . . however. . . .stop worrying so much :D

Aaaawww .. .
Hellu!
Haven't done much today.
Went to the agency to return a CD with photos and also to get my monthly allowance. At the agency i also met Jemmy and Anet, i found out Anet is leaving for place unknown tomorrow which is really too bad, she's a real fun girl. I also found out that the suit was finished, but i also needed to go buy a white shirt. Apparently i also needed to wear LACED dress shoes in Bali so i had to carry a pair of those out of the agency :P I went together with Jemmy to pick our suits up. It looks pretty awesome :D
The inside of the suit is silk and it's dark red, really stylish hehe. And since the suit was especially tailored for me the jacket sits perfectly.
After i picked up the suit i headed off to the gym.
After the gym i went to suntec city, which is like the most confusing freakin building in the world. . . . .and i was so tired and irritated at the place because i hadn't eaten after i had been at the gym, and i was also carrying around a suit-bag, 2 pairs of shoes, gym clothes and a heavy assed portfolio. . . .. .so it was pain and agony haha. Amazing place nonetheless hehe.
Later on the relatives joined me and we ate at the club in suntec city. Sa javla larvigt, you have to wear a shirt or collar t-shirt, so they put on like a hawaii shirt on me everytime i go there, and i mean that shirt looks so haggard i may as well just sit with my tshirt on haha.
Ah well, i ate quite a lot and now i'm back home!
Btw, the dinner last night wasn't 6 dishes, it was 9 dishes hehe.
Oh and i feel bad because i'm not going out with Anet and Anastasia tonight, it's kinda like Anet's goodbye party, but i'm so tired and i don't wanna get sick before the Bali trip. Man everyone's leaving :( Queenie, Ivana, Sven, Egon. . . . sucks :P
Oh, i also smsed Champ today, he'll be heading to Hong Kong for 10 days n we agreed we'd meet up when he gets back. . . . .And well that's it for today!
Lotsa Love
Alex
PS. Mom. . . .. i don't leave anything out -.- och mitt commonsense har utvecklats sedan jag var 5. . . . so please. .. . stop worrying so much. . ..

A Great Day. . .
Hello!
Lets see here. . . . friday. . .
Alright so i woke up, and ran off to the gym. Gymmed for a bit btu then i had to rush as hell to Delfi Orchard where i had a casting for a bridal show.
I came with my hair more or less backwards. . . but i can't have backslick so it wasn't really that schtek hehe, they told me to come with neat hair, a shirt, pants and dressing shoes. They also wanted me to look as mature as possible, they suggested i wear a pair of glasses. . . but i dun have any haha.
Anyway, i walked into the store and saw a few women, one was standing in the center having a fitting with a wedding gown on. The woman measuring the girl in the center looks at me and asks if I was the 20year old from carries?
I smile and wink, "I'm actually 19 hehe" so some people started snickering haha. The lady said ok, and sent me into another room. There a guy was sitting behind a desk and he started talking with me.
He told me they needed mature looking modells, but luckily i hadn't shaved for 2-3 days so i'd say i looked pretty old anyway haha. . . in my opinion that is ;)
So then the lady from the other room walks in and tells them i'm only 19, and then she asks another guy that was in the room if he liked what he saw. (I was thinking .. . aw crap are they just gonna blurt out a brutally honest answer?) I tried to smile, yet not smile. . . . . in an attempt to look as old as possible haha.
Anyway, he liked me and the guy sitting behind the desk went to get me a suit.
It was a white suit, the kavaj jacket went down to the knees, and i had a vest under it. Looked really weddingish hehe.
So they said it looked good, then the woman i first talked with said, oh great then you can use him in the two other shows as well. But the guy behind the desk said, yeh but we better see how the first show goes first though. So if i don't screw up, i'll have two more shows :D
Well, after that i went to grab a subway sandwich, a foot long which was a bit more filling than i thought it'd be but i loooove those subway sandwiches.
Anyway, i headed for home, took a shower, got dressed and left for GOODWOOD PARK HOTEL.
I had to ask around before i actually found it, but it wasn't that hard to find once i was pointed in the right direction.
I entered the driveway and it was a fancy hotel, i saw two tall girls standing in the distance and i assumed they were models. Turned out they were Anet and Anastasia. I thought i'd be first because i was half an hour early haha.
I excused myself and went to the bathroom, when i came back out of the hotel the girls had gone to a club right next to the hotel, so i walked toward them, btu then mom called.
So i stood outside for like 20minutes talking to her, sweatting like mad hahahaha it was sooo hot.
When i had finished the call, the girls had come outside and were sitting on a sofa and they told me i jsut had to show the gaurds my comcard and ID.
This place was hightech, they actually took my photo and scanned my thumbprint a few tiems hahaha. So now all i do is put my thumb on this little scanner and they'll know who i am :D
Well we grabbed some drinks and returned to the sofa. haha i felt so high and mighty because i saw people staring at me in envy, like there i was the only guy with two models on each side. .. . . . not bad haha
Well we sat there for a while talking and eventually my dear friend jemmy arrived as well, but he stood outside for quite a while calling around, becuase he had forgotten both his comcard and ID hehe.
It was wierd anyway because the sms told us that the bus would be there at 9pm. . . .we waited. . . it was 9.15. . . still no buss. . .. i called Kit, he said there is one more going at 9.30pm. . . .we waited. . .still no buss. . .. and it was only us four that were there haha. So eventually Anastasia went out to take a look and we found the buss.
Btw, the drinks at that place weren't free apparently, haha but the owner was really kind and let us have the drinks for free this time because of misinformation.
Anyway, we went to the buss and joined up with the other models.
The buss ride was greaaat, i felt like i was back in school on a school trip haha i could barely stop smiling, everyone was just screaming and laughing and talking and it was just one of those moments where you feel truly on top of the world and wouldn't give it away for anything else.
Ah well, we finally arrived and well. . .. . . . hmmm the posh dinner restaurant was more of a night club haha.
It was great i made lots of new friends, met lots of old friends, talked to lots of girls, ate wierd stuff like hedgehog. . . and frog legs. . .. . haha
After that me and a few others left the place and went to MOS, ministry of sound. I had been there once before.
It was great, after that we headed back to one of the guys hotel rooms. . . it was in city hall hotle, one of the most expensive hotels in singapore haha
Well i spent the night there, woke up at 10.30am, went back to bed, woke up at 1pm, went home, went to bed for 2-3 hours, went out to eat at susan and fred's place as we do every saturday, and now i'm home again!
It's really really late now so i'm going to go to bed!
Goodnight!
Lotsa Love

Back Home For 6 Hours
Tjaaaaaaah!
Igar. . . yesterday was a lot of fun.
As usual Bruno var ute a harjade, han e GRYM med tjejer, maste ta och lara mig lite skillz! haha
anyway we weren't out that late, i came home at around 3am but it's always a pleasure ;)
Well. . . oh riiiight! i haven't told you about the test shoot this past teusday.
It was fun! the agency told me to go to the wrong mrt station so i ended up walking for like half an hour instead of 3 minutes which is how long it would've taken to walk from the correct mrt station ahha. Ah well who cares, i was just really sweaty and late, but it didn't matter because it was so delayed (Jemmy hadn't shot his shoots yet, apparently the first mdoel they had that day had been really slow :P). So i just kinda sat around in the studio, went out to get some chicken rice, came back and ate and watched Jemmy get his makeup done haha.
Finally it was my turn, and my outfits were:
1st - black suit without shirt udner the kavaj jacket
2nd - Some wierd blue shirt with white suitpants and a wierd hood thing :/
3rd - Some kind of jacket with white pants
4th - a shirt with a red tie and black jeans.
The first three shoots were really fun, but the fourth shoot. . . uuuugh
I had to like bend down and the mjolksyra was just KILLING my legs. After a while i just got really tired and it felt like that time i was 5 or six years old, when i was at a photoshoot with mom, and i just wanted to go home haha
But overall, it was a lot of fun, i enjoy Marie (The stylist) she's a lot of fun. . . and her gay friend is pretty funny as well haha
Oh and there was a lot more smiling in this shoot btw, i told them i had so many pictures where i have to look pissed and serious, so these pictures had a bit more smile to them haha ^^
Alright, so after the shoot i went straight to my dad's dear friend Hakan!
It was VERY pleasant, their appartment. . . it's just freakin breathtaking, i'm going to take a camera with me next time i come by. It's completely insane, a bit like venice. . . and well the balcony. .. . . you jsut have to see it for yourselves, i can't explain haha.
Hakan had made rost biff and some fancy salads and it was a great meal actually.
Everyone seemed to stormtrivas, i asked the children if they missed sweden. . . they answered quickly and bluntly "Nej" haha
anyway, i took a cab home, then a cab to Fashion bar where i reunited with my dear brazillians hahaha. . . . .crazy people, love it :D
Ok and now to the present day!
Woke up, went to eat with the relatives, went home, took a second shower (You can't go Number two without having to take a shower afterwards .. . it's just too hot haha), took a cab to Hakans, took a cab with his family to the Norweigan Seaman's church (I had to ask the cab driver for a street directory and search up the adress, Hakan had forgotten haha)
So, the reason; A swedish Studentskiva!
How bout that huh?! last night, Hakan invited me to a Studentskiva, two swedish girls were graduating from the Australian school of singapore.
I walked in, saw lots of blondes, swedish food, and heard the beautiful language singing in my ears haha.
I felt like i was home.
I got well along with the boys, they were a wee bit younger btu still around my age. And apparently Singapore isn't as strict, conservative or scary as i thought haha.
Well, it was a great night, i ate skagenrora, (real) kottbullar, pajjer, tarta, bullar, saft etc etc
Everyone was very pleasant, and i made a few new friends.
It was great!
And now i'm home again. . . .longing for tomorrow, let me quote the SMS from the agency:
1st;
Hi models! Our client, Hideki, has a dinner party at a posh restaurant this friday, 9november at 930pm for OUR MODELS. Let me know if you are interested to go.

Mom and Dad are Celebrities
What a day ;)
From 7am to 12.17pm not bad.
So i woke up 7am, just to find out that i set the alarm clock to the time when I should leave the house, not the time i should wake up, so i rushed out without breakfast, just a quickshower.
Grab a cab from outside the house to the mrt, and took the mrt to City Hall. As usual i was the first one there :P but that's good becuase you do NOT want to be Late for Daniel Boey's shows, it could lead to the loss of your job or a partial loss of your job. For example, the 5-6 models that came about 15 min late, were told they weren't allowed to do the second show. . . . 400 dollars/2000kr bort blasta dar :P
iaf, the show was in the ESPRIT botique in City Hall. The botique is quite big, and they had laid out a big red carpet for us to walk on (You can see it in the pictures I put out on facebook) and there were tiny black platforms scattered out on the carpet.
The rehearsal at 8.15am was really simple, just walk in, pose, walk to the end of the big red carpet, pose, pose on each of the tiny black platforms one after one on the way back to the exit, pose before you leave the red carpet.
That was all, now we were free till 1.30pm (Girls had to be back at 11.30am XD)
I gave Jane a call who was apparently still sleeping so i apologized for that, but i asked if the tailor was open at the moment, which he was not. So me n Jemmy parted ways and agreed to meet up at the agency 12.30 for the Suit fitting.
I went home, switched on the computer, the internet didn't work, got pissed off, was really tired, so i decided to screw the freakin piss internet and just go back to bed for a few hours. . . ahha
So i got to sleep for maybe 2 hours, 1 1/2 hours before i had to leave for the agency again.
Once there i met Jonas who recently found out he'd be following me and Jemmy to Bali for the contest, so he'd also have to fix an evening suit.
We waited a while and just hung out at the agency, talked a bit with them, and i found out my Test Shoot pictures had FINALLY arrived, and i've put them up on facebook now. You HAVE to check them out HAHA! I also have pictures of the ESPRIT show, so i've put up a lot of new pictures this time!
Anyways, after a while Jemmy had still not showed up and time was getting tight (Me and Jemmy had to return to the ESPRIT botique for Hair and Make up :P)
So i sent Jemmy an SMS and told him me and Jonas would go ahead. I lead Jonas to the tailor where i got to try on the pre-suit, it hadn't been made or anything it was just held together by pins and light sewing.
I also tried on a pair of suit pants which turned out a tad to short.
While i was trying on the suit Jemmy also arrived, so he simultaneously started trying on his suit.
However when we were done and it was time for Jonas, the tailor said he couldn't finish Jonas' suit in time! beacause it was so short notice and he was apparently very busy this weekend. So i'm sure the agency will figure something out hehe.
Anyway, the three of us began walking toward the Agency which also happens to be the same way to City Hall. Jonas said goodbye and returned in to the agency, me and Jemmy continues to the ESPRIT botique.
Once there we kind of just chilled for another hour or so. . . The girls have soo complicated hair styles and makeup. The guys. . .take at most 10min each for both hair and makeup haha!
Well after that, i told Jemmy i was hungry as hell and showed him the Food court in City hall. I ate chicken rice. . . and he ate soemthing wierd :P. . . asian food. . . .Egon joined us as well, he had already eaten but he got something to drink.
After this. . .. we just kind of hung around until the show started hehe. The show was sooo easy, one outfit per person (26 models i think. . .. only 8 guys ;) And because there was only one outfit, we didn't have to stress change outfits during midshow, so it was so easy ahha. and fun!
After the show, they handed out free champagne and little bites to eat, like cheese coated mushroom mini sandwiches. . .. MMMMMMM!
So we were happily walking around in the store eating and drinking, then later on me, Egon and a few girls went back stage to drink some more. . .. . . . until the head waiter told us no more hahah (Hey, it was free right?)
Well, then were just sitting there chatting. . . not doing much at all until the next show at 7 something, closer to 8pm.
This show was also easy, same thing. Can hardly believe it. . . 2000 kr for just walking back and forth on a red carpet. . . taking maximum 2 minutes haha. . . .that's 1000kr per minute! niiiiiice. .. . . aaand we get free food and champagne. . . hahaha i dun wanna leave this place XD
Anyway, after that we were allowed to enter the botique again, where people were shopping and enjoying the free food and champagne (Me and Egon were greedily wolfing down everything we could get a hold of. . . but the waiters and waitresses seemed to like us because they kept comming with more specifically to us haha)
Oh btw, Yee Yee had summoned up quite a group, Bundching, his father, Mee Fong, Valerie, My devoted fan Beatrice(Wants to come to every show haha), Gong Gong, Guama, Fred and finally Susan. . .. . . . How unfortunate that the second show was only for VIP hahahaha so they didn't get to see it anyway >.<>.Anyway, sorry, back to mom and dad. So i was talking backstage with Daniel Boey after the first show. I Told him how i was from Singapore, Sweden, Lappland and Japan. Which ultimately led to me telling him about my 100% Singaporian mother and my Swedish/Asian father.. . . . .. now this is just truly amazing.
Apparently, when Daniel Boey had still been in school, he had followed you two in some magazine. . . . i'm sorry i can't remember which one, but he actually even freakin remember Mom's name AND maiden name, He also remembered that what haircut you had, he remembered Dad's name, he remembered dad's hair style and colour. . . .. wow. . .. this guy was a fan of you two. What's truly amazing is that i didn't tell him ANYTHING else but your nationalities, i didn't say my last name nor did i say any of your names. . .. . AMAZING. And you two's fan club doesn't end there!
Daniel Boey was so excited that he had found your offspring he screamed out to atleast 4 other
people; "OMG! YOU REMEMBER SHIRLY TAN AND SIXTEN FROM -Shit can't remember which magazine-?! WELL THIS IS THEIR SON!"
And they ALL recognized you guys hahahahha simply amazing, i was just standing there in complete shock! You two must have been quite something. . .. all i initially told them was how a swedish model met a singaporian model.
Hahaha. .. . jsut wow. .. . . Well after the ESPRIT ordeal, i left for the fitting with Marie for the next set of test shoot pictures which will be taken tomorrow at 2.30 pm. . . . That's all i have to report! Respect mom and dad!
Love
Alex
PS. Daniel Boey is BIG as i've understood it, i'm so impressed of you guys haha

So i sent Jemmy an SMS and told him me and Jonas would go ahead. I lead Jonas to the tailor where i got to try on the pre-suit, it hadn't been made or anything it was just held together by pins and light sewing.
I also tried on a pair of suit pants which turned out a tad to short.
While i was trying on the suit Jemmy also arrived, so he simultaneously started trying on his suit.
However when we were done and it was time for Jonas, the tailor said he couldn't finish Jonas' suit in time! beacause it was so short notice and he was apparently very busy this weekend. So i'm sure the agency will figure something out hehe.
Anyway, the three of us began walking toward the Agency which also happens to be the same way to City Hall. Jonas said goodbye and returned in to the agency, me and Jemmy continues to the ESPRIT botique.
Once there we kind of just chilled for another hour or so. . . The girls have soo complicated hair styles and makeup. The guys. . .take at most 10min each for both hair and makeup haha!
Well after that, i told Jemmy i was hungry as hell and showed him the Food court in City hall. I ate chicken rice. . . and he ate soemthing wierd :P. . . asian food. . . .Egon joined us as well, he had already eaten but he got something to drink.
After this. . .. we just kind of hung around until the show started hehe. The show was sooo easy, one outfit per person (26 models i think. . .. only 8 guys ;) And because there was only one outfit, we didn't have to stress change outfits during midshow, so it was so easy ahha. and fun!
After the show, they handed out free champagne and little bites to eat, like cheese coated mushroom mini sandwiches. . .. MMMMMMM!
So we were happily walking around in the store eating and drinking, then later on me, Egon and a few girls went back stage to drink some more. . .. . . . until the head waiter told us no more hahah (Hey, it was free right?)
Well, then were just sitting there chatting. . . not doing much at all until the next show at 7 something, closer to 8pm.
This show was also easy, same thing. Can hardly believe it. . . 2000 kr for just walking back and forth on a red carpet. . . taking maximum 2 minutes haha. . . .that's 1000kr per minute! niiiiiice. .. . . aaand we get free food and champagne. . . hahaha i dun wanna leave this place XD
Anyway, after that we were allowed to enter the botique again, where people were shopping and enjoying the free food and champagne (Me and Egon were greedily wolfing down everything we could get a hold of. . . but the waiters and waitresses seemed to like us because they kept comming with more specifically to us haha)
Oh btw, Yee Yee had summoned up quite a group, Bundching, his father, Mee Fong, Valerie, My devoted fan Beatrice(Wants to come to every show haha), Gong Gong, Guama, Fred and finally Susan. . .. . . . How unfortunate that the second show was only for VIP hahahaha so they didn't get to see it anyway >.<>.Anyway, sorry, back to mom and dad. So i was talking backstage with Daniel Boey after the first show. I Told him how i was from Singapore, Sweden, Lappland and Japan. Which ultimately led to me telling him about my 100% Singaporian mother and my Swedish/Asian father.. . . . .. now this is just truly amazing.
Apparently, when Daniel Boey had still been in school, he had followed you two in some magazine. . . . i'm sorry i can't remember which one, but he actually even freakin remember Mom's name AND maiden name, He also remembered that what haircut you had, he remembered Dad's name, he remembered dad's hair style and colour. . . .. wow. . .. this guy was a fan of you two. What's truly amazing is that i didn't tell him ANYTHING else but your nationalities, i didn't say my last name nor did i say any of your names. . .. . AMAZING. And you two's fan club doesn't end there!
Daniel Boey was so excited that he had found your offspring he screamed out to atleast 4 other
people; "OMG! YOU REMEMBER SHIRLY TAN AND SIXTEN FROM -Shit can't remember which magazine-?! WELL THIS IS THEIR SON!"
And they ALL recognized you guys hahahahha simply amazing, i was just standing there in complete shock! You two must have been quite something. . .. all i initially told them was how a swedish model met a singaporian model.
Hahaha. .. . jsut wow. .. . . Well after the ESPRIT ordeal, i left for the fitting with Marie for the next set of test shoot pictures which will be taken tomorrow at 2.30 pm. . . . That's all i have to report! Respect mom and dad!
Love
Alex
PS. Daniel Boey is BIG as i've understood it, i'm so impressed of you guys haha

Khai's workout program and some other shiet
HEEEEEEEEEEEEJJJJJJJJJJ!
well to tell you the truth i haven't done shiet today.
I pretty much just sat around with the dog and watched tv-series on the internet for the majority of the day. . . . other than sleeping that is. . .. which i didn't get much of either becuase i allowed the dog to sleep on the bed and she is freakin insane. . ..
Buuut i eventually got my tired ass out of the house and went to the gym.
I did the workout Khai suggested last time we met. . . .and oooomg. . . . .i died. . .. it was heavy, reaaally exhausting haha, and now i have pains everywhere, ah well gonna get a goodnights sleep anyway!
After that i met up with the relatives and we ate a full peking duck just the four of us. . . . nice. . ..
I ate a lot. . . and as usual after the meal i could barely stand up. . . but since i came to singapore, my metabolism rate has excelled somewhat immensley, so i'll probably be hungry in a while anyway :P
And that's all i've done today, however i found out some stuff about the ESPRIT show.
so tomorrow i have to be at city hall at 8.15. . .am . . .!#%#@%$. . . . and there will be two shows, one at 5pm and one at 8pm. I asked Kit how much i'd get for the shows and he asked if the coreographer was Daniel Boey, i said yes, he said probably 400 for each show. . . . that's singaporean dollars, which is 4000kr. . . . .nice. . . .
I also found out that the Brazilian "Jonas" will be following me and Jemmy to Bali, so that'll be fun. aaaaaaaaaaaaand. . . . well not much more. . . oh right i have to go for a fitting for the second test shoot at 9.30pm tomorrow :P
That's all for now. . . i gotta go sleep or i will be suicidal tomorrow morning.
Love

Free Suits Anyone?
HIYOOO!!
alright, so saturday. . ..
Now i don't remember the specifics, but we didn't do that much.
I woke up pretty late, so i went off to the gym. Jag var ganska taggad att springa lite faktiskt haha. So i got there and started running, i chose one fo the runningmachines with a screen showing the mtv channel. I decided i'd stop running after 5 music videos. . .. . but the music videos never started so i just kept running and decided to reduce it to three music vids hehe.
Then finally a music vid is put up. . .. but it turns out it's an entire concert hahaha so i end up running for quite a while :P
I then came down and was sweatting like. . . . like never before :P (Thanks for those genes dad. .. . )
well i only had time to do a few exercises before my dear friend Khai came haha.
So we jsut ended up talking for a veeery long time, but it was useful talk. I asked him about protein powder, i got him to make me a workout schedual, i got him to write up a set and rep (swedish word) "mall"
aaand he showed me some different machines he recommended i use.
So now i'm set!
Well after the gym we went to Susan and Fred's place and ate. . . ate .. . .ate. . . tis was nice haha
And after that i went out to eM studios where i met the brazillians, jason, jamie, and Sven's friend i met the first time i went to the gym hehe.
it was a lot of fun. . .. as always, i love saturdays ;) After eM studios, some of us went to zouk as well. It was great, a lot of fun. Great night if you ask me ;)
The next morning i woke up, got out of bed, drank some water, let the dog out (i'm currently sleeping at wiley's place, because i like getting a break from relatives a little now and then hehe ;) and because i like the speedy internet! aaand ofc the stupid dog :P), called the dog into the bedroom and let her sleep on the bed with me. So i spent 2 more hours in bed playing around with the dog haha.
And well. . . .. i really haven't done much today. . . so that's about it for me!
Lotsa Love
Miss you guys. . .. miss the snow. . .. . i want snow >.<>.<
Aj aj aj, hoppas du kryar pa dig snart! and thanks for the useful japanese phrases, i actually know one japanese model. . . or maybe two. . . .. i'm half angmo (Westerner) so i do have difficulties telling the different asians apart in some rare cases :P
Ara Anastasia e ett riktigt vackert namn faktiskt, och hon e ocksa valdig charmig haha
Haha it would be awesome to try out some surfing in Bali, we'll see what we can do, although yes i am a bit worried about the undertow so we'll see :P i'll prolly have full up anyways, because the competition organizers said they have lots of plans for us like sending us to some waterpark thing, whole day spas and what not ;)
Jag skulle grata om jag sag min kara toalet rivas sonder. .. . . .be gentle!
Yeeeeh mom, i do visit the agency a little now n then, i like them, and when i'm around i figure why not! have fun in Boras!
And yeh ofc lena i'll take a few extra swims with you in my thoughts ;) hope you're feeling better!

ESPRIT Fitting and Suits
Hellu!
Today i woke up to go to the fitting for the ESPRIT show.
Once there i met a few old friends, amongst others Sven's friend from america and Jemmy the chinese guy from my agency whom i will be going to Bali together with.
The clothes were pretty alright this time, didn't look bad at all.
First outfit was a Dark checkered shirt, tucked into a pair of dark grey shorts (this time tucked in shirt actually looked pretty cewl. . . as it did with the louis vuitton shirt ;). I'll also be having a jacket on and i'll be carying. . . . a big fat, black male purse -.-. . . . They also gave me a cap but they removed that once they saw how it looked on me haha, i'm telling you, my head is too big for hats :P none of em fit.
My second outfit will be another dark checkered shirt, tucked into a pair of jeans.
After that, i was only supposed to have two outfits, and of what i heard jemmy is only wearing two outfits, buuut they decided to give me a third outfit as well.
So my third outfit is a green t-shirt, a yellow shortsleaved shirt on top, and a pair of shorts. Once again they tried giving me silly looking hat and a pair of sunglasses. . . . they eventually removed the hat haha
After the fitting me and jemmy went to the agency, where we met up with Jane.
After hanging around a bit in the agency, Jemmy, Jane and I walked to a nearby suit. . . making. . . place. . . . i forgot. . .oh right a suit carpenter?
anyway a guy that makes suits to put it simply :P
The guy. . . was something else. . . hilarious a LOT of character hahahhaha, funny. He's like OOOOOOOH SHIIIIIIET YEEEEEH THAT'LL LOOK SLIIIIIICK ALRIIIIIIGHT!. . . .. . WAIT! HUUUUNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHH WHOOOOOOA I GOT IT, THIS IS PERFECT YOU'LL LOOK SO GOOOOOOD OOOOOHO YEEEEEEHHHHH. . . .. . hahahha i was just kinda smiling away in the background hahha.
So me n jemmy were told to pick out what type of fabrik was going to be made into a suit, with his and jane's supervising ofcourse.
I ended up choosing a black fabrik with a faint hint of verticle stripes that were supposed to stretch my body features. . .. . . .i just trust they know their thing ;)
Then he began taking our measurements, and he was faaast he's like boom booom boom and he has already measured like five points of my body haha.
So finally, we were told we needed to come back for a fitting the 6th of november, which is also when me n jemmy have the ESPRIT show, so after the show we'll report back to him.
Well after this, i went to the gym, went home, read some internet quotes that just crack me up;
www.warpdrive.se & www.bash.org Incredible humour. . .. .
Now i'm at wiley's place. . . and well i'll be spending the night here with the crazy dog haha.
Btw I forgot to mention yesterday that i put up a few photos of the Chocolate fashion show thingy :P Not the best of pictures, but if you're curious ;)
I also saw Dad's Telia commercial, and it looks great. . .. please you have to strike a pose in Are infront of that billboard and take a picture!
Have fun in Boras you guys, and give Sari and Per & co my greetings!
Hahahahha Gabby later valdigt insatt i Fashion industrin!. . . ah well girls will be girls i guess haha. Halsa min kare lillkusin ocksa. . . . Saknar hans oandliga forfoljelse haha!
PUSS A KRAM! OCH KARLEEEEK!

Louis Vuitton Art in the Form of Clothes
TZZZOOOOO
I woke up at 12, i dunno why but i always have trouble falling a sleep, guess i have to get used to the freakin bed. It like gets hot where i'm lying, so then i have to roll over to the side for a while before i can return to my normal sleeping spot and pick up the attempt to embark on my journey to dreamland. . .
anyway, i put on my suit pants and tucked in my new billabong shirt. . . .and i hated it hahahahha i really despise tucking in my shirt. . . i look too. . . . .. . . . proper for my taste hehe.
So i spent the next 1 hour just grubbling over that. Then i sat down on the computer and awaited Yee Yee's arrival. When she came home i spent a bit more time infront of the computer and then me and Cathy left for orchard road where the castign would be. (I refused to walk around in suit pants with a tucked in shirt hehe, so i asked Cathy who was free today to drive me)
Well, we got there half an hour too early, but i went to the 10th floor in hope that i might be able to begin first.
So there i was, i walked out of the elevator with my dark brown suit pants, white billabong shirt (Tucked in) and a black suit jacket. . . . i kinda looked like the typical 70's father does when he comes home from work :P
I saw a lady that walked passed me started smiling a bit, i think i looked pretty riddiculous to be honest hahahaha XD
Anyway, i saw Louis Vuitton written in big letters on top of a reception desk, so i walked in and told them i was here for the casting and they told me to grab a seat.
Then a bit further into the office two young girls walked by and the receptionist. . . or well there were two receptionists, pretty young as well. . . anyway the two recpetionists called to one of the girls that walked by (I think her name was Aileen, i remember seeing that name in the casting sms the agency sent me as well)
She saw me, and she said alright you're early, i told her no worries i know that i'm early ;)
But she came back pretty quickly with some clothes from Louis Vuitton. . . . .
See i freaking knew it, you NEVER have to wear any stupid suits to castings, last time the agency told me to bring a suit i went through hell, and for what? nothing! the place gave me a suit to wear. Uuuuugh. . . .
Alright, anyway i took the suit with pleasure because i just wanted to pull my shirt out from inside my pants hehe (untuck it)
Aileen led me to a bathroom which she unlocked and let me into. I began my change of outfits. . . and oh myyyy. . . .the outfit was freakin awesome;
Suit pants - Purple, not bright purple but just really really dark blackish purple. . . it was more like black. . . but with a hint of purple. They sat perfectly (The suit pants i borrowed from Alan i thought made me look fat. . . . . .maybe i'm turning into a girl. . . .oh god no. . . .)
Shirt - Bad assed intense black shirt, which i tucked in. . .. yet it still looked awesome, the shirt also fit perfectly to my upperbody.
Jacket - it wasn't a suit jacket, it was a raincoat kind of thing. It was beautiful! At the top is was Dark brown, and gradually, the further down the coat you looked the more purple the coat seemed, until at the ends it was intense purple. So from Dark Brown to Intense Purple. . . . shit was Sweeeeeeeet!
So i looked at myself in the mirror and smiled, wow, if i ever get rich this is the stuff i'm gonna wear hahaha.
Aaaaaand what's a day without it's tiny little problems. . . .. i was locked into the bathroom. . . . hahahah i couldn't find what handle let me out! There were 2 knobs and one handle. . . both knobs further locked the door when i turned them (maaaan the person who design this bathroom must've been a reaaaal shy guy)
So then i hear some walking outside and i start knocking on the door "hello? anybody? hello?" hahaha then some girl answered and well she just told me to turn the knob. . . i'm like "I'm turning the knob. . . .. but ti just locks the door further haha"
Alright, so figured it out in the end and gave my thanks to the lady haha.
So i started walking back to the office, when i walked into Anastasia, we talked for a while she was there for some DIOR thing.
Then on my way back i also ran into Dinara, a cute very "modellish" looking girl. Her hair is so intensely blonde it looks like a wig, and her lipstick is intense red. . . .adn she's fifteen years old haha, taller than i am ;) Russian.
Ah well, i got back to the reception where they directed me into another room. As usual the casting room was a room with a long office table with lots of seats around it.
In the room was Aileen and one more girl, both young, in their twenties.
They told me to try on some shoes, both of the shoes fit perfectly (one was just a fancier black dress shoe, while the other one was like a white semiboot. . . . ehhe)
I didn't have to do much. . . but then again you never really have to do much at castings. I just let them take a photo of my face and then one of my entire body (With clothes on ofc)
They also told me to do a quick walk.
Oh i also met Egon on the way in, he was on his way out and i was on my way in. . . not sure what he was doing though, because i don't think it was for the same show. . .. hmmm .. . . i dunno, he said he'd wait for me, but i told him nevermind i was with my aunt, so we agreed we'd meet up on saturday (EM Studios)
Then the girls told me to go change back into my first clothes (This time i let my white shirt just hang out of the dress pants. . . couldn't be bothered :P)
I then walked back and gave back the clothes i borrow, i also met Jonas while i was returning the clothes.
Then i left, met anastasia once more, she told me to wait and then we could go out somewhere, but i told her i was with my aunt so i'd see her another day. Walked into the elevator, met up with Cathy and went to eat Tortillas MMMMMHMMMMMMMM!!!!! love mexican food.
Then we headed to Wiley's place where we also bought a pizza for my later consumption that night (She was gonna go out and eat dinner with her friends, and the grandparents were in malaysia for a funeral), I also told her i wanted to buy a body harness for the Dog so that i could go out for a walk with the crazy thing hehe.
And well after that i just enjoyed peace and quiet. . . or well whatever you want to call it with that crazy dog around haha :D
And now i'm home again!
That's it for tonight! gonna go to bed, early day tomorrow :P. . . . or well early. .. . . . for me it's early ;)
Love
Alex
PS.
Farfar
Haha ofcourse i know how it is, when mom says it's time for food. . .. not even a nuclear war will be able to keep you at the computer ;)
And yes, ofcourse, i ALWAYS think about the future, i jsut can't figure out what i want to do. . . . . we'll see laaaaaa!
Lena

I inherit a lot from farfar, not only my writing skills, but my extreme calm nature as well ;)

Then a bit further into the office two young girls walked by and the receptionist. . . or well there were two receptionists, pretty young as well. . . anyway the two recpetionists called to one of the girls that walked by (I think her name was Aileen, i remember seeing that name in the casting sms the agency sent me as well)
She saw me, and she said alright you're early, i told her no worries i know that i'm early ;)
But she came back pretty quickly with some clothes from Louis Vuitton. . . . .
See i freaking knew it, you NEVER have to wear any stupid suits to castings, last time the agency told me to bring a suit i went through hell, and for what? nothing! the place gave me a suit to wear. Uuuuugh. . . .
Alright, anyway i took the suit with pleasure because i just wanted to pull my shirt out from inside my pants hehe (untuck it)
Aileen led me to a bathroom which she unlocked and let me into. I began my change of outfits. . . and oh myyyy. . . .the outfit was freakin awesome;
Suit pants - Purple, not bright purple but just really really dark blackish purple. . . it was more like black. . . but with a hint of purple. They sat perfectly (The suit pants i borrowed from Alan i thought made me look fat. . . . . .maybe i'm turning into a girl. . . .oh god no. . . .)
Shirt - Bad assed intense black shirt, which i tucked in. . .. yet it still looked awesome, the shirt also fit perfectly to my upperbody.
Jacket - it wasn't a suit jacket, it was a raincoat kind of thing. It was beautiful! At the top is was Dark brown, and gradually, the further down the coat you looked the more purple the coat seemed, until at the ends it was intense purple. So from Dark Brown to Intense Purple. . . . shit was Sweeeeeeeet!
So i looked at myself in the mirror and smiled, wow, if i ever get rich this is the stuff i'm gonna wear hahaha.
Aaaaaand what's a day without it's tiny little problems. . . .. i was locked into the bathroom. . . . hahahah i couldn't find what handle let me out! There were 2 knobs and one handle. . . both knobs further locked the door when i turned them (maaaan the person who design this bathroom must've been a reaaaal shy guy)
So then i hear some walking outside and i start knocking on the door "hello? anybody? hello?" hahaha then some girl answered and well she just told me to turn the knob. . . i'm like "I'm turning the knob. . . .. but ti just locks the door further haha"
Alright, so figured it out in the end and gave my thanks to the lady haha.
So i started walking back to the office, when i walked into Anastasia, we talked for a while she was there for some DIOR thing.
Then on my way back i also ran into Dinara, a cute very "modellish" looking girl. Her hair is so intensely blonde it looks like a wig, and her lipstick is intense red. . . .adn she's fifteen years old haha, taller than i am ;) Russian.
Ah well, i got back to the reception where they directed me into another room. As usual the casting room was a room with a long office table with lots of seats around it.
In the room was Aileen and one more girl, both young, in their twenties.
They told me to try on some shoes, both of the shoes fit perfectly (one was just a fancier black dress shoe, while the other one was like a white semiboot. . . . ehhe)
I didn't have to do much. . . but then again you never really have to do much at castings. I just let them take a photo of my face and then one of my entire body (With clothes on ofc)
They also told me to do a quick walk.
Oh i also met Egon on the way in, he was on his way out and i was on my way in. . . not sure what he was doing though, because i don't think it was for the same show. . .. hmmm .. . . i dunno, he said he'd wait for me, but i told him nevermind i was with my aunt, so we agreed we'd meet up on saturday (EM Studios)
Then the girls told me to go change back into my first clothes (This time i let my white shirt just hang out of the dress pants. . . couldn't be bothered :P)
I then walked back and gave back the clothes i borrow, i also met Jonas while i was returning the clothes.
Then i left, met anastasia once more, she told me to wait and then we could go out somewhere, but i told her i was with my aunt so i'd see her another day. Walked into the elevator, met up with Cathy and went to eat Tortillas MMMMMHMMMMMMMM!!!!! love mexican food.
Then we headed to Wiley's place where we also bought a pizza for my later consumption that night (She was gonna go out and eat dinner with her friends, and the grandparents were in malaysia for a funeral), I also told her i wanted to buy a body harness for the Dog so that i could go out for a walk with the crazy thing hehe.
And well after that i just enjoyed peace and quiet. . . or well whatever you want to call it with that crazy dog around haha :D
And now i'm home again!
That's it for tonight! gonna go to bed, early day tomorrow :P. . . . or well early. .. . . . for me it's early ;)
Love
