Heeey!
Alright first of all i've added some new pictures to Facebook, it's from the second testshoot, and i'm attempting to load up some pics from a few shows i did. . . btu haven't succeeded yet because the internet sucks donkey balls. . .. . . . so if they're there you;ll know i succeeded. . . otherwise failure ;)
Anyways!
IKEA show hahahaha
Alright anyways, i went to sleep at a mdel housing the night before. . .. i slept in the same room as Bruno. . . . and well bruno is crazy. . . in a more or less positive way i'd say, but the bed i was to sleep on was soooo fkin dirty hahahha XD
I walked into the girls room and snatched one of their blankets (Three of the girls had left, only one was still staying there, Yuki) Rolled into it so that i wouldn't have any contact with the bed hahaha. . . anyway i got like 3 hours sleep that night maximum. . . . had to wake up at 5am and well. . . i just couldn't fall asleep in that bed XD
Hur som helst!
The next day i woke up, took a shower in a strange bathroom, ate some cakes i had bought the day before. . . . and then called a cab to come pick me and 2 girls up from the apartments.
Yuki got done, i had to rush her a bit though because i saw the cab waiting downstairs. . .. when we got downstairs i called the other girl who sounded like she was still in bed. . ..
We waited. . . she didn't come. . . .
I called again, she said she'll come down soon. . .
The cab driver started getting pissed, some basterd lady came and said "Oh if they aren't going i can take the cab!" I was about to shove my hairless legs up her old ass when she said that. . ..
Anyway i started getting pissed so i told the cab driver
Me - "No nononononooo we want the cab, Yuki get in the car"Yuki - "But what about the other gir. . . "
Me - "No we can't wait get in the car! if she doesn't come down NOW we're leaving without her"I opened the door for Yuki, and gave the other girl one last phone call
Me - "Hey, if you don't come down NOW, we're leaving without you"Vlada - "I'm comming i'm comming! i'm in the elevator"
So she made it anyway haha, was getting a bit worried for a while there actually :P But see i can be harsh when i want to XD kinda felt like i tog i for hart iaf :P men vissa modeller. .. . behover tas med hardhandskarna ibland hahahhahah XD seriost. .. . de kan inte halla tiden. . .. alla kommer sa jakla sent hela tiden :P
Ah well, the cab drive was a long one, so luckily we were three or the bill would've been a lot higher :P
We were the first ones there. . . I just kinda led the two girls into the building and started searching for the place. They sat down in one escalator, i decided to go check the other escalator and there the stage was so i returned to them and we jsut sat there half asleep until the others came hehe.
Walking into the IKEA store. . . it just lit me up haha i was smiling a huge smile, seeing Daim, Bilar, Hart Brod, Kalles. . .. you name it. It felt sooo good to walk there haha
Ah well the stage. . .. well you can check the pics and you'll see the stage :P
People started comming in (Models) and finally we started the rehearsal. . . I was the only male model there :P So i went last in the sequence and had it a bit different, apparently i'm on TV just before the news every night now until "Fashion something" ends. . . .can't be fashion week because that's already over. . . i have no idea what it is.
Anyway the sequence was very simple, was kinda wierd though, because we had lots of female designers watching us, and camera men and shit. . . . it was just a rehearsal. . . .at freakin 7am in the morning. . . ah well :P
One girl came when the rehearsal was like 3/4 finished because she had gone to the wrong IKEA (There are two IKEA's in singapore)
Daniel was sooo pissed off, "YOU ALWAYS COME LATE TO EVERY F*CKING SHOW!"
i was like. . . .whoa . . .. haha, i know very well by now that he does NOT pardon late models XD
Anyway, we took a bus to the second IKEA (The smaller one), i slept the whole way there.
This IKEA was open, and people were walking around already, popular swedish furniture ^^ and meatballs ofcourse :P
Anyway, this stage was even easier. . . just walk back and forth pretty much :P
Well then after the rehearsal we got a little break. . . i spent some time chatting with Daniel and an announcer guy, i then spent the remaining time outside with a girl from poland (The poor girl who came late haha, she looks so cute and innocent. . . but man she's into the motorcycles and stuff. . . she's apparently very smart as well, went to some bigshot school in poland. . . .)
Then we headed back to the "Backstage" or whatever it was. . . .
There i saw that the girls had already started with makeup and stuff. . .. and i also saw that the "Snack" they said we were gonna get, was infact a tiny buffet hahah XD
So i jsut started chowing down lotsa food and enjoying my morning. . .. still tired as hell though, it was the kind of tired where your eyes sting constantly :P
I drank like 4-5 cups of coffee. . .. didn't help at all. . .
I spent a lot of time chatting with Yuki, the Polish girl, and my designer whom i found was pretty cute anyway. . . .
Well Yuki and the polish girl ended up having to do makeup so i talked a lot with my designer, who was also the only designer that would appear on stage during the sequences (Because she was the only one with a male model, and because i was Prince charming. . .turned into a prince after the princess (The designer) kisses the frog. . . so she had to follow me out, kiss the frog and turn it into a mantel and put it on me haha)
We got along great i'd have to say, i like her a lot!
Anyway, time for my makeup, it was very simple. . . i'm glad. . .after that i ended up talking with a girl from Hungary until the show started. (Her outfit was crazy, was made from material that was almost see through, and if that wasn't enough, it was urringat som fan ahhahaha)
Oh no, wait my bad, before the show we had to go downstairs and get our picture taken in our outfits by a professional photografer. It was kinda wierd, because by now the store was crowded already. . . and the place where the photos would be taken were like. . . .right in the middle of the entrance/exit of IKEA hahahha so there were just heaps of people watching while you took the pictures XD
Anyway, after another short break the first show finally started. . . it went really well. . . it was simple. . . my designer was so nervous though so i had to calm her down haha.
I said don't worry, we'll be going out together, i gave her my arm which she locked with hers and then we started by walking onto the escalator that would slowly take us down to the stage, then i let go of her at the beginning of the catwalk and walked my sequence (Just back and forth), i was carrying a stuffed animal (Frog), a stave with a tiny frog on top, i had on a greenish shirt, and i had my own pants on. When i came back to where the designer was standing (Her name was Evelyin, so i'll just continue by calling her Eve) i handed her the frog, she kissed it and started turning it into a cape. . .. . this took some time so i kinda felt stupid standing there posing with my stave while waiting for her to finish turning the frog into a cape haha, and it wasn't any less wierd becuase of the fact that TV camera's and photocameras were flashing at me from all directions :P
Finally she did it and put it on me, then i did my sequence, grabbed her arm and we left up the escalator again hehe.
Then we did our finale, all the designers joined us this time.
Then we went back to the backstage, got some group photos taken, and i changed back to my normal outfit.
Tis was a fun show, also. . . afterwards Eve came and told me i had some fans so i had to get my picture taken with like 8 different girls. . . . nice. . .
Oh btw, there were some swedish people there, they were the managers of IKEA so i spoke a bit with them as well hehe.
Well after the private photosession for my. . . hrm .. . "Fans". . . i walked outside together with the Polish girl and talked a bit, i went back to the backstage, grabbed a lunchbox and sat next to the hungarian girl and talked for while, then i retreated to a chair and tried to fall asleep :P
Anyway, time came for us to take the bus to the larger IKEA.
Once we got there they showed us where the makeup would be but we didn't have to do that for another 2 hours, so me, and 3 of the girls went to a giant shopping mall or whatever it was opposite of IKEA. One girl was singaporian (I think), one was probably from brazil. . . .maybe two of em were. . .. ah who cares.
Anwyay we walked around there for a while, headed back for makeup. . . .i put my head on my arms on a table and tried to sleep (There was also free daim, pepparkakor and ballerina kex ^^ MMMMMMM)
eventually it was my turn. . . and again it was very simple :P
Well i got my outfit on, got some pictures taken by photografers, then they escorted me and the polish girl down to the backstage. . . . . . .It was only me and her in there for like 20 minutes :P
We farted around and just. . .acted like kids haha
Anyway, eventually more of the models came in and before ya knew it we were lining up in order from first to last. But before the show started someone came in backstage and said someone was looking for Alex. . . so i walked out wondering who the hell it was. . .. turns out it was the Embassador of Sweden in Singapore and China hahahha so i spoke a bit with him, he was very pleasant and happy haha
And then the show started :P
When it came to my turn, i got an idea and quickly spoke with Daniel and suggested a bit of a change in the sequence he had given me and Eve. I suggested that i'd do it a bit differentely so that it wouldn't look so retarded when i just stand there and smile while Eve frantically tries to turn the frog into a cape haha.
Basically it would mean that i'd be out on stage a bit longer but i'd be doing more, while she changes the frog. . .. Daniel "SOOOO CLEVEEEEEER!" hahahahhaha so we went with that, real like last second change XD
Anyway, the show went well and it was time to go home. Since we were out in the middle of fkin nowhere, me, oen of the makeup girls and the hungarian model took a bus together to the nearest MRT station. . . then took an MRT ride that took like an hour .. . . btu at least i was sitting in the middle of two nice chicas ^^ i'd say it was one pretty freakin awesome day haha. . . .although tiring as hell. . . oh wait my day wasn't over haha
I met up with the relatives and ate a huge dinner at Susan's house. . .. just like we do every saturday! I also got christmas presents hahaha, en osthyvel, en jacka, en tshirt, en mousepad ooooch. . .. . det var allt tror jag. . . omtanksamt ^^
I also borrowed home some VCD's, which me and Cathy would spend the whole of sunday jsut watching haha. . . so lazy the day after because i got so little sleep :P
WEll. . great day :D i'll tell you about the photoshoot tomorrow ;)
Btw, i've added i think it was 27 new photos to the facebook album ;) enjoy!
The Bali photo's will have to wait till i'm at Wiley's place :P
Lotsa Love!
Alex

Hi Alex The Man of Brilliant Future,
I read through your Blog Post as if I did a play script, became convinced that you have a brilliant future if you take very good care of it. You have something different in your nature, outstanding from people in general. If you don't mind, let us (farmor,I together with Shirley,6-10) be your consultants from our liflong experiences. Of course I respect the presence of your God Mothers,however,I don't have an exact definition of GodMother in Sweden yet.
You wanna studies in Sweden, I respect that. Allow me to express my observations and thinkings:
Thanks to a Giant Lucky Star, you happened to find yourself suddenly and miraculously in an incredibly marvelous golden life of idle model which an extremely few priveleged young men can enloy. Obviously you are enjoying it. Why not enjoy it until another vision of yours have grown up. The time of youth is short and only once, never come back. In Sweden you can not come near that kind of life.
Isn't it possible for you to find an university in Singapore or a distance course of Swedish university where you have close connections and relatives. Besides studies, continue the model job. One thing very clear, you must have an academic degree for you future.
This is just a suggestion. It concerns your life, you yourself must think and made a decision for the best of your life.
I don't know whether possible to study and work as model at the same time.
I can see that you are meeting very many interesting people, not only charming girls but also men including Swedish Ambassador. Fantastic, Alex.
Trusting your common sense.
Love/ Farmor&Farfar
DAIM - I trust you ate lot's of Daim, that's my absolute favourite, now I am really jealous of you :D Furthermore, here I am networking my ass off in Sweden and what do I meet, a printer, a coach, a .... etc. and you mingle around with the ambassador whooo, connect and keep contact with as many as you can, it will be (it is) extremely valuable when you start your own business or work or whatever. Studying, what about civilekonom (business administration), it will give you business knowledge and a very wide base to start of with and you can probably study it in Sweden combined with most parts of the world (read about Växjö university (I think) that had exchange programmes with China - maybe not the most exciting (Växjö that is) ehy not apply to all U's including Handelshögskolan). Lots of U's have exhange programmes. Last but not least, you cannot miss out Hongkong and Japan, if you get a chance grab it, you will never regrett it, trust me. Pester Jane for it. Hongkong is one of the most exciting places on earth while modelling in Japan is probably the most thrilling, there you will have hundreds maybe thousands of girl fans :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
