Hellu!
Ok just got back from the testshoot which i will tell about shortly, but first! The Yuli Jewellery show:
The place: Orchard parade hotel (Kinda fancy)
It was one of those crazy Walk here there and there and there and then there and then here and then there and there and make a 360 grab on the table while falling make a backflip, kind of shows hehe.
The coreographer was a whiny little biatch as well haha, good guy, but when someone did something wrong., . .. . oooouch.
I felt sorry for the 16 year old girl from hungary (Who kept answering everything with "Ya" like a steriotypical german) because she just couldn't get it right, and the coreographer was like WHINE WHIN RABBLE WHIIINE! "If she can't get it right i'll just get another model to replace her" oooouuuuch. . . .. he was yelling and screaming and uugh. . . luckily i didn't screw up anything so i was spared the horror :P
Well, the show was me, yuriy, joe, zofia, canadian chick, uhm. . . .2 russians. . . .olga. . . . .euuuhm . . . i tihnk that's it. . .
haha as seen in the picture to the right.
Hahahhaha i love how Yuriy (In the middle) always sucks in his cheeks and does the most serious poses ever! EVER!
Anyways, what i had heard about the show was that it was going to be topless. . . not too big a fan of theses things but yeh whatever :P
After the rehearsal, the girls went to some makeup/hair parlour a bit further away, while the boys went into a room with one woman in it.
She was a tattoo artist or whatever, because instead of makeup the guys would have tattoos on them in addition to the jewellery. Actually we were supposed to get makeup and crazy hair as well but we didn't have sufficient time for it :P Which i'm glad about!
Well, joe went first, he got a black cross on his chest, i got a pair of wings on my arm, yuriy wanted a dragon on his chest, so that's what he got haha. It was just drawn on by a pen, she said she didn't have time, and since it was just a show it wasn't really worth it to put in too much time on the tattoos. Mine turned out pretty badassed though, the picture i posted yesterday of it really doesn't justify it :P Looks riddiculous actually haha, but in real life it looked really nice, yuriy liked it as well :P
Eventually, the girls came back. . . .. with freaky assed hair, purple highlights and dreadlocks and stuff hahaha. I'm like. . . shiet, glad we didn't have time for hair n makeup.
Then the hair stylists came to the backstage before the show to touch up, they didn't touch the guys' hair though. I was sitting down and the hairstylists were about 10 of them (Big group). . . .. . the female hairstylists and some of the guys pulled out their cameras and their camera phones. Soon enough, i was being blinded by flashes. . . . tiihiii they were standing from a bit further away all snapping pictures of me hahahaha XD After a while of acting like i didn't notice i just couldnt help but burst out laughing hahaha XD
Ah well. . . flatter, why not ^^
Then tis was show time.
The first sequence involved all of us guys, oh wait. . . haha the outfits XD
Well we were told to bring our own jeans. that's it. I was to wear my jeans + spike belt + some german dominatrix gayporn thing on my arm hahaha XD + the tattoo on the other arm + a vest. . .. . i looked like a biker gangster . . .. never seen myself looking like that. . . . oh and i had boots on. . . to make it even more hardcore XD
Yuriy and Joe, wore leather jackets, that's why they got tattooed on their chests, while i got tatooed on my arm.
We all looked like bikers or neonazis with our boots and stuff :P
Well the show began, i walked out in the center and the two other guys on each end of the room (It wasn't a stage, we were just walking around tables and stuff, where the guests were eating dinner) they crossed, i walked to the other center point, we repeated this 2 times, then we switched positions clockwise 3 times, then the two guys met in the center, and i came from the rear of the room and stood in between them, then i did my exitting walk, followed by them, and the first sequence was over.
Man. . . . because they had switched off the lights and only used spotlights to emphasize the glittering of the jewellery, we had to shift stances in order to make the jewellery sparkle :P but the spotlights were soooo bright that i couldn't she shiet hahaha, i was just squinting throughout the entire show :P
Well, we went backstage while the girls did their sequences. . . . we didn't have to rush. . . i mean we weren't really wearing any difficult to put on outfits :P
My second outfit was some bomber jacket with golden sleaves. . . pretty nice i guess.
The second sequence was solo, so i think i was first. . .. either that or second after a girl. . . . can't remember :P Anyway i just walked ou did my thing. . .still blinded by the lights :P
When i got back one of the directors of the show hassled me for my number, i asked what it was for, he told me he'd tell me later. . . i'm like yeh yeh whatever, i was in a rush so i just gave it to him. Then we walked out for the third sequence which was supposed to be the same as the second. .. . but omg. . .. (The third outfit was the one with and open suit kavaj jacket + seperated cuffs and collar. . a playboy was the aim :P)
i was told to walk out, "But the girl is still out there!" they said nevermind jsut walk out and do your thing. . .. i walked out to the first pose. . . .stood there. . . i saw the girl approaching what looked like her last path. . .. but then she walked off to the right! she was in the middle of her sequence not the end. . . i'm like shiiiiiet imma get scolded when i get back, why the hell did they send me out now?! it's supposed to be solos?! Anyway, i jsut started walking out, then as i was doing my sequence, the third person came out. . . . which relieved me, because that means they had changed the sequence without telling anyone, and that means i didn't do anything wrong hahaha.
Man. . .. it was messy. . . . like 3-4 models out at the same time. . . everyone is just walking and bumping into eachother because of the narrow paths to walk and because noone could see thanks to the blinding spotlights hahaha XD
When we got i said "Ok. . . WHAT. . . just happened? hahaha" hahaha everyone was laughing because everyone was just as confused as me. . . well turns out the coreographer decided to do the third sequence differently from how we rehersed :P. . .. turned out kinda wierd XD
Well i saw the director that had asked me for my number, i asked hime, what was the number for? He took me to a corner and said that one of his female friends who was dining out in the room wanted my number. . . .. niiiiiice. . . . "Very pretty face!" then he did the female curves with his hands and raised is eyebrows hahahaha. . .. niiiiiiiiiiiice. . . .
Well when all the models were finished with the wacky sequence it was time for the finale. . .everything went well we stood out there. . . .i looked here and there, then after like 2-3 minutes of standing out there joe starts wiggling his eyebrows, i look back and see that the first model has already left. . . so i leave and everyone trails after haha. I didn't leave because i never heard the thank you models. . .. so when we got backstage i was like ooops. . .. but turns out something went wrong this time as well XD
The coreographer came running in and said quick everybody go back out!
So we went back out, waited. . .. and finally they said thank you models, then we left :P
The first model who had left was like " I heard them say thank you thank you thank you so many times!" i don't blame her :P
Well the show was over hahaha, everyone was happy, the coreographer wasn't pissed so all is well that ends well ;)
Backstage, we got some food and started chowing down.
The owners and desingers or whoever they were, they were in charge of the show anyway, they asked for my number and said, good we'll contact your agency for more work! Whooooooo i was getting a lot of flattering that day hahaha XD also, one of the jewellery girls who i had been checking me out, checking her out haha XD was pushed at me by one of the owners or whatever he was, as he yelled "SHE WANTS TO GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER AS WELL!"
She's like "HEE HEE HEEE NOO, OK HI!" haha i just greeted her with a handshake and an exchange of names, then she ran away XD
I think it was the power of the tattoe, because later on the mrt home i was being followed around the station by a group of girls as well. . . .. . . ok enough bragging but i can't help it. . . besides this is the kinda stuff i wanna read when i get old and look back at my life XD
All in all, it was a fun day, and the show went well!
Ok now onto the banana republic show! which was the next day i believe. (For the past 4-5 days i have been waking up early and comming home JUST in time for the LAST bus that leaves clementi mrt. . . . i've been lucky :P)
Well, because i returned home pretty late the previous night (Which was also when i had decided i wanted an extra hour of sleep so i decided i'd wake up, have a seriously stressful morning, then grab a taxi to Paragon, a popular shopping mall where the show would be held) i grabbed a cab to paragon. . . ended up paying like 50-60 kr -.-. . . . hate early mornings.
When i got there i was the first to come. . .. as usual. . . i stress for nothing all the time :P (But it works in my favour though! later that day i went to the agency, and the coreographer in charge of the banana republic show came there and kit ended up telling him that i'm always early, then they asked if i had grabbed a cab this morning, and i said yes and they seemed impressed haha but i told them i only take cabs when it's a really early morning :P)
After a while liam, an australien chinese guy came, i know him pretty well by now. . .wel i knew everyone at the show pretty well by this time :P
Eventually more mdoels entered, and finally we were 2 guys, 4-5 girls. . .. . we were waiting for one guy (Ercan, awesome guy) and Barbara (A great friend of ours).
We waited for 45 minutes. . .. .. great. .. . my expensive cab was unnecessary. . .
Well barbra finally came, tired as HELL (She and johan, had been bugging me to go out partying, but i didn't want to considering the early morning. . .. their argument was that barbara had the same show. . .. but i didn't feel like feeling like shit hehe :P besides, i dun go out before a day filled with work hehe)
The rehearsal started, went on for quite a while, not because it was difficult (It was in fact very easy) but it took time because we had to change into all the outfits as well -.- it was llike we were doing two shows hehe.
Well after the rehearsal, i went to the agency, talked a bit about the AADB with monica and we talked a bit about acting and what not. Then i took the time to finally answer everything on my facebook which had accumulated to quite an amount now that i haven't had time to see to it :P
Then i went to a foodcourt and ate some fried Kway teow. . . . not my bowl of soup but whatever, it filled me up.
I then walked off to the musical followup casting. . .. same as last time. . . but the director was there. . .. i had to freakin spontaneously dance and sing and. . .. UUUUGH! worst ever. . .. it wasn't fun. . . . they kept saying, bigger movements! More exagerated! more broadway! more spontaneous. . . .. i was . . . . well the word that suits it best is. . . i was SO lost. . .. Walked out pretty bumbed out because i didn't feel like i could do what they asked for :P
Ah well we'll see what happens.
Then it was time to rush back to paragon, where i got makeup and hair done. . ... fixed hair back to my normal hair, sat down next to a sleeping barbra . . . she was curled up in fosterställning in a massage chair. eventually it was her turn to go get her stuff done, then Liam took her chair, and switched on the massage. . . .so did i. . . . we sat there for a good long time "Man sometimes i love this job, we're getting paid to get massaged" Liam said haha.
Daniel, called me, told me he was on his way into town and asked if i was there. I told him my situation, he said he'd come meet me in paragon, i hung up and remained in my massage chair.
Then Daniel came and we hung out for a while in the mall. . .. then it was time to go back to the banana republic botique.
Daniel wasn't let in because it was a private event.
After a while of just sitting down and waiting/conversing with the models of the show, i see Chris standing outside the store, i open the door and talk with him a while before he leaves because he can't get in.
Liam goes "Man you got a whole fanclub" haha.
Eventually it became time to go backstage and start preparing.
Before the show starts, the coreographer comes to me and asks if i could be the announcer as well. I laugh and agree.
A while later i'm handed a microphone and i'm told to say:
"We apologize for the wait, the show will begin momentarily because we are still waiting for a few guests, thank you for your patience"
And just before the show starts, i'm handed the microphone again:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the 2008 banana republic spring fashion show, Please proceed to the ladies department on the bottom floor, because the show is about to begin"
The show fires up and everyone well it's a simple straight forward show.
Then just before the finale, i'm handed the microphone again and i say something a bit longer which i have forgotten now :P haha i only remember that i was out of breathe from excitement, stressful change of outfits and walking up a couple of stairs. . . . i had to pause in the middle and take a deep breathe hahaha.
After the show, the some of the models went "What the hell? that was your voice? I didn't know you had an announcer voice as well!"
haha.
Well after the first show, me, barbara and Ercan met up with Johan and Chris who had been waiting outside for us. We went for a bite to eat at the foodcourt (I ate australien fish n chips haha)
Then, we took farewell of chris and johan, and headed back to the banana republic botique.
We waited. . . . i had a good chat with Ercan and barbara. Later i had a good chat with the girls who help dress the models during the show. . . . and then i was handed the microphone again.
Said my line.
Went back, backstage.
Liam "Man if i could articulate and speak like you i would SO get into VJing. You could make so much money, if i were you i would really try, no point in waisting such a talent" Hear that?! MWAH! I get it from my father i spose!
Well then again before the show started i was handed the microphone and i initialized the show. Which went just as well as the first one, before finale i was handed microphone again, then after the final show i was handed the microphone again:
"Before you leave, please do not forget to pick up your complimentary gift bag from our official sponsors blablabalbalbla"
The coreographer comes upstairs, points at me with both his arms and yells "YOU, YOU have potential! Thank you so much, i owe you one! GREAT job!"
I don't know why. . . apparently everyone was really impressed with my voice on the microphone hahaha. Cewl now i know what i can fill out when i get handed the form during castings "Special Talents: I have an announcer voice" hahahha XD
After the show me and Barbara walked for a bit before we met Johan and some swedish model friend of his. She was from Jönköping and her name was Emma. Hehe, we spoke swedish with eachother which was nice, now i'm not the only swede around haha
Now FINALLY caught up, i'm now writing about present day! Whoooo!
Time is 3.30pm and i got back from the testshoot a while ago.
Ok well, i got an sms yesterday from kit telling me i have a testshoot today with mike at Geoff Studios (Where i met SVEN! and where i've been countless times for castings :P)
Anyway, long story short, i got there, Alyona from kazakstan (She has actually said "I em Nomber vone beetch volleyball player in kazakstan". . . . Chris freaked out and told me she wasn't imitating Borat. . .. that's just how she spoke HAHA!)
Alyona had come there before me, we sat down for a while, mike entered the room and Alyona did her testshoot first. It went quick, maybe 20 minutes.
Then it was my turn, my outfit was a kavaj jacket. . . .my underwear. . .. . and shoes haha
Mike the photografer was an awesome guy, i liked him.
Alright anyway, a testshoot is a photoshoot that will not be published in any magazines. It is solemnly practiced in order to build either the photografer's or the model's portfolio. The two testshoots i did when i first got here, costed 2700 krs EACH.
This time, the photografer had gone to the agency and handpicked me and Alyona to do a testshoot to build up his own book, and hence also building up our books, or so called portfolios as well! FLATTTEEERRRR ALEERT!
Anyway, the shoot went quickly, i was told not to look too serious (Which is good because i only have those kind of pictures in my book :P)
So i had to like, kind of gaze into space and have an expressionless face haha.
Well it was fun, and unlike the other shoots i've done there were no directions in this one really. . . he just told me what facial expressions to have, then i kinda freestyled the rest :P But i'm pretty comfortable infront of the camera now. . . .compared to before anyway, so i just. . . i dunno i just did whatever :P
Well. . . . after a cheerful goodbye and an exchange of contact info, i hopped onto a bus that took my from Eunos to Stamford, and from stamford i headed home.
Now i'm here. . . finally up to date with the blogg :P
Haha, another thing.
It's funny how i manage to find places here in singapore. . .. because many times i have walked out of the mrt . . . . not having the slightest clue of where to go because i've forgotten my Streetdirectory at home. . . .. and i just decide to walk in a certain direction. . . .. .this has happened maybe 10 times. . . .. each time i've chosen the correct way AHHAHA! as retarded as it may sound. . . i jsut spontaneously start walking in one direction until i either find the place directly, or until i see a sign that states the correct street. . .. and i'm just dumbfounded and stunned everytime it happens hahahahhaha . . . . stupid boy. .. xiao di di. . .. XD
Ok well. . . gotta get ready. . . work never ends, i have a casting in about an hour out in chinatown. . . not gonna forget my street directory this time though ;)

Alright, write either more tonight or tomorrow!

Lotsa Love

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA WELL ISN'T THAT THE SICKEST THING!!!!! just as i was about to post this inlägg, i recieved this sms from kit:


Hey Alex,


the banana republic main clients (FJ Benjamin) are very happy with your attitude and performance at the shows yesterday, and the producer jeremy would like to consider grooming you as an emcee as well (Under carrie's representation of course!)!

Well done!





Kit











JEEEEEZ! HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA! wow. .. . good stuff just keeps tumbling into my lap. . . thank you god.


Now i realize i dun have time to respond to all your comments again because i now have to run off :P So i'll try and write more tonight!

Allas! Time to spare!

Hola PEDROOOOO!
Hello!
Ojj ojjj ojjjj, vad de kör med mig här borta hahaha, kommer hem varje kväll med bultande fötter och är alltid för trött för att tänka på det minsta lilla haha!
And today is no exception!
Anywho!
Let's pick up where i left off, these events may not be in chronological order, mind you, but i'll do my best :P
Ok so i've had a few more tvc castings (Commercials), one was for sony camera, i had to give them a facade of random cheery facial expressions. . . so i did everything from forming my tongue into a flower, to just looking outright riddiculous. . . but hey it's show biz right?
The other commercial casting was for a condo (Great. . . as if i am old enough. . . ), i had to look. . . uhm. . . let me quote "Content, cheery, satisfied. . .. yet. . .. artistic and serious". . . . so i gace them my best Cheery-satisfied-yet-serious-and-artistic look. . ... however the heck that looks. . .. A sort of squint with a charming smile was my best bet haha XD
I had to do various movements, from catwalk, to staring out of the window, to laying down in my sofa, to locking eyes with a close friend haha!
Well, as usual i just have fun during the TVC castings. . . i like acting it's a lot of fun!
Ok let's take the FHM shoot now;
Well. . . i walk into the agency one day, Ting, one of the bookers approach me with a big smile and excitedly tells me she has sent my comcard to FHM and that they have confirmed me for a fashion spread. . . . WHOOOO! Chris was very impressed haha :D
For those of you who DON'T know what FHM is. . . you can either go to the box next to my bedsofa and take a look at the magazines there, OR you can go to the homepage http://www.fhm.se/
OFC i was very excited about this because i wanted more pictures for my not-yet-impressive-enough-portfolio-for-japan!
And well with a few ripouts from FHM together with the Men's folio pictures, i'll at least have a few pics from serious magazines hehe.
I didnät know what to expect, i was kind of hoping i'd get to pose with some half naked Euro-Japanese chick, but nope i didn't get that priviledge haha! NEXT TIME!
Anyway, i take a trip to Mediacorp HQ and wait around for a while before the director of the shoot comes and tells me it is time. GREAT guy, charismatic and friendly, a lot of fun, the shoot was awesome much thanks to him and the others in the crew.
The hair/Makeup artist was the girl i did my very first shoot together with, a long time ago together with Marie back in some haggard appartment studio haha.
She did my makeup, i told her (Nowadays i tell the makeup artists "Please, not too much makeup" in a friendly and joking tone ofc ;) not to give to much makeup making me look like a mannequine. The hair girl, did her thing. . . as usual i hate what the hair people do, so i always end up fixing it after they've done their's. In this case, it was good, she did my hair, i fixed it, we did the first shoot, she fixed my hair again, the director took a look "hmmm. . . . i liked it more when you did your own hair". So i ended up completely doing my own hair, i told the girl who did the hair not to worry, my hair is freakin impossible haha
Anywho!
There were about 6 outfits, which will take up 2 complete pages of the march edition of Singapore FHM!
Most of the pants were REALLY tight, it was a bit of a Punk-Suave-Indie (Indie = Kinda geeky) shoot.
Nice variation, everything from G-star to wonderland clothes.
Some outfits were themed like cowboy, some like latino gangster, some like more sofisticated office worker and some were more punk. I had to pose in ways that emphasized the "Theme"
But the general theme of all the clothes were a more Punkish look.
However, later on the head of the director's came down and told the director directing me, that he shouldn't have made me do too many pissed-off-high-fashion looks. . . he said it was more for the magazine GQ, but he wasn't angry he said it was ok anyway.
Well all in all, the shoot went great and it was a lot of fun!
Ok on to the next topic!
Hmm the bridal veil. . . well that went exactly like the last time. .. it was just a repeat pretty much. . . got the drawed on mustasch and everyone was happy. . .. long day. . . .but sure it was fun hehe. Oh and i got a ride in another insane car hahaha. A black convertible, some successful previous customer of Bridal Veil got along well with me, so after the show he offered to drive me to my casting hehe. badaaaassed. (Btw, this wasn't some stranger, he was the guest model for the last show as well hehe)
It was sweet, michelle, the owner and designer of Bridal veil sent an sms to Kit (My booker) and told him to tell me thanks for another job well done. So that made my day hehe.
Alright, the underwear show! hahaha!
Well first thing first, i calculated that i got paid 900kr every minute for that job!. . . . how insane is that?
Ok, well it was a Tangs plaza. . . when i heard it would be at Tangs. . . and it was an underwear show. . . .and that i'd have to stand behinda giant window. . .. i freaked out a bit hahaha i was as nervous as i was before the very first show i did 3 months ago. . . i love it. . . . the new challenges and the new extreme anxiety before a show hahaha. It sure is an exciting job said the least :P
Well it was managed by Daniel Boey, and it was me, Chris, and 3 other guys.
We each got 4 outfits. . . or underwear. . . .
Well. . .. worst part of the show was the damn thongs we had to wear underneath the underwear XD holy shiiiiiet! The most shameful and awkward feeling ever wearing that thing. . . . we were all cringing and making fun of eachother out in the hallway while we waited hahahah was hilarious.
Anyway, it turns out the window would be facing orchard road. . . . HURRAH! the most populated road in singapore! WHOOOOO! midday! RUSH `HOUR WOW THIS HELPS THE ANXIETY!!!
My heart was racing ahhaa dödsångest!
These were the directions we were given. . . "You will be standing out there alone for about one minute, just keep changing poses and walk around and entertain the crowd. . . use the chairs, use the walls, use whatever you want to pose.. . . . " So basically. . .. we would be exposed to an entire street packed with people. . . . in only our underwear. . . . freestyling poses on a tiny stage behind a huuuuge window. . .. . whoopie. . . hahahah EXCITING ENOUGH I ASK?!
hahahaha well it was a really fun show believe it or not. . . We had the smallest backstage ever, we changed into various underwears, wore cheesy accessories such as dogtags and tennis sweat bands hahaha XD
The crowd amounted to quite a bit of people. . . i don't know how many people's personal camera's and camera phone's we are displayed on now. . . . It was fun though, laid back. . . some of us just walked around and smiled and just had fun, so it wasn't that bad hahaha and for a pay of 900kr per minute. . . SO bloody worth it.
I'm so piassed that i had the bridal veil show the day after, because otherwise i would've done TWO more of these shows and gotten to keep the underwear haha. Daniel was whining about it, buuut i've been booked for the bridal shwo for a long time bck now. . . . too bad hehe.
Ok on to the Thomas Pink Show. . .. worst morning ever.
EARLY EARLY EARLY, like before 6am. . . . . i got onto the mrt, rode it for about 6 stops (Maybe 30min). . . . when i bloody realize that i've forgotten my suitpants at home. . . .omg. . . . i had pulled it out and everything. . . guess it was too early for the brain to optimally function :P
Well. . what to do i said to myself? Se la vi!
I jumped out of the mrt, grabbed a cab, came home, the relatives had just woken up (Cathy hadn't even left for work yet!) I snag my pants, run back to the cab, rush to the designated destination.. . . . i end up paying 25 dollars for the cab. . . .that's like 100+ krs. . . .. cry. . . .
Worst of all. . . . i got there, reported, they tell me to come back in 4 hours. . . .. . hrm. . .. shiet. ..
Well basically, what i did during that time, was hang out with chris at mcdonalds for breakfast. . . and just kinda killed time hehe.
Me and Chris were to act as ushers. This is a pretty highclass brand, for the rich people i suppose, so me n chris wore pink shirts+tie+suitpants.
We stood by the doors of le chinoir for maybe 30 minutes fooling around having a great time, slapping on a serious expression when opening the door for and greeting the incomming guests. . .. then returning to fooling around. . . .. we got paid 350 for that XD
EASY money that time hahaha VERY easy money! can you say "GOODDAY! GOODMORNING! WELCOME!". . . . if you can't, i guess you're a bit retarded, but if you can, you've just done what i did to earn 350 dollars hahaha XD
Fun ofc :P
Ok, final stop;
The banan republic fitting.
This is another posh american brand, liek thomas pink but not only shirts.
I got to try on some BADASSED clothes i'm telling you. . .. clothes that would make mom cry.
Ex.
- Sailor sweater, shirt underneath, suitpants, tie
- Fancy white coat, white Stickad tröjja underneath, white shirt underneath, white suitpants (this looked SO good. . .. ´)
- Fancy blu raincoat, . . . .dun remember what was under, but suitpants anyway (This looked smashing as well :P)
and stuff liek this. Basically, things moms want their sons to walk around in, but only a select few do haha.
I also found out from one of the models "Wow, we're so few. . . . but for the casting i think all the models in singapore were there" heeellz yeeeeh. . . . i felt special that night XD
Today was the day i did the show. . . i'll tell you about it tomorrow because i just found out i scored a free testshoot tomorrow morning so i gotta go to bed!
Tell you about the Yuli show tomorrow as well!

Lotsa Love

Ugh, got work tomorrow as well. . and as usual clementi is the suckiest location in singapore for modelling haha XD ALL the castings are on the other side of singapore hahaha so it always takes looads of time to get there. . . anyways, i have to go to bed, i am completely exhausted and the blog writing last night killed me this morning, so i am really tired.
Other than that, the show today went brilliantly and i'll brag about it tomorrow hahaha!
Oh and another thing!

Lotsa Love!


PS.
Dad

Ok i'll tell you all more as soon as i get time! Lotsa love!

Finally. . . .

Hello boys and girls, girls and boys!

Wow. . i've been BUSY, really no break at ALL, which is friggin awesome ofc!

Ok, anywho! The second day at Sebana Cove was pretty much a repeat of the first day hehe. Jetskiing. .. . . actually today was the first day i got to sit on the vehicle and attempt to tame its fearsome power. . . . i got drunk on adrenaline and speed haha! I'm telling you. . .jetskiis make you fly, the speed is just amazing haha.

Well other than that we just kept on with our watery activities. . . oh right, we woke up and ate pancakes and wonderful bacon breakfast and what not. (My morning started off the same as yesterday. . . last one up haha) When i got up i walked into the kitchen and the girl making breakfast started laughing when i winked at her hahaha, so tired. . . . I walked further into the living room and saw Daniel and Chris watching the new American Pie with towels wrapped around their swimming trunks.

Johan was complaining "Common! Let's go out and do something instead of watch movies!". . . . i was likgiltig. . . i just needed to wake up first hehe. .. . . which was when i jumped onto the jetskiis hahaha, me on one of them and johan on the other.

We rode crisscross behind a ferry that passed by every now and then. . . jumped on the waves that the big boat made hahaha, twas awesooooome!

After a bit of wet activities, we jumped onto the buggies and headed out for lunch at the golf course. We drank a few beers and cruised all over the golf course with our buggies. . .. most fun EVER hahahha sooo funny, i loooove golf buggies XD

Well after a looot of fun at the golf course on our tiny vehicles we all drove over to the helicopter pad to see off Idris. He's taking his helicopter license at the moment, i've never actually seen a helicopter that close up. . . nor have i seen it ever take off hehe, was pretty cool!

The engines fired up slowly. . . the rotorblades began to spin. . . . . they kept on spinning. . . .. they kept on spinning. . . . a bit more. . . .. will it just freakin lift already so we can leave?!. . . . still spinning. . .. omg screw thi. . . WOOOOSH! dirt, dust and sand blows all over the place and we have to look away as the helicopter swoops over our heads and dissapears off into the distance.

Pretty cewl hehe ^^

Well after his take off i guess we just headed home for dinner and just chilled out with movies!

That was the trip. . . the next day i woke up. . last of all. . . everyone had already left the ship. . . i was the only one in the bedroom hahaha XD
I didn't mind though, i got to sleep at least hahahhaa.
Ok. . . as for what's happened after that?
well. . obviously LOTS has happened, since i haven't been able to write, but aside from movies, insignificant castings, etc.
I guess these are the highlights:
- Musical Commercial Casting
- FHM shoot
- two more tv commercial casting
- Underwear show
- Bridal Veil Show
- Thomas Pink show
- Banana Republic fitting
Hahaha ok so let's start. . . well i generally like going to castings because they are usually a lot of fun! Take one of the Tv commercials i had to go to for example. Not only was the casting pretty fun. First i had to pretend i just woke up, then i would walk out onto a balcony and survey my surroundings and just love life.
Second i had to pretend i was sitting with my girlfriend eating dinner (I HATE these kinds though. . . you jsut sit there and smile. . . chewing air . . . and you just feel like a downright retard haha).
Lastly, i had to pretend i was driving, then i see a place, get out, scan the area and think really hard. . . after a while i start realizing what a perfect place it is and slowly gradually look satisfied haha XD
Anyway, when i first walked into the office (The picture to yer right is what the office looked like, Rei and Chris weren't there yet though) I saw a tiny furry little creature just "skutta" between the halway hahahahhaa soooo funny, just came out from one end with it's little pillow in his mouth and then disappear through the other end.
When i walk in (Btw this place was FILLLLED with gorgeous girls hahaha non-models even!) i find out that the furry little creature is a puppy. . . the same type of dog as Ella.
I sit down to fill out some forms after playing a bit with the dog (He totally lit up my otherwise so sleepy mood), but the dog won't give me a chance, it jumps up into my lap and starts licking me all over the face ahhaha, i just sit there laughing and fell in love with the dog instantly haha.
Well after the casting, i come out and find Rei, Chris and Johnny Depp sitting in the hallway, so i wait for all of them to finish their castings which take a good 30 minutes. We all just farted around with the little dog hahahha throwing its pillow around and just having fun ahhaha.
Anyway, that's an example of a fun casting hahaha.
Ok, the musical casting. . . hahaha omg so much fun.
I had to sing, i had to dance, i had to act. . . . hilarious simply hilarious!
They asked me if i studied music, i told them "Nope, it's called Singstar for PS2" ahahha and they all started laughing. so i guess i did a good job anyway.
Lately i realized that many of these tv castings, require this "Ok, now i'm going to switch on the camera and i want you to dance for the camera, this is to see how comfortable you are infront of the camera". . . .. do you know how freakin awkward it is when someone tells you to just randomly start dancing in front of people you have never met before and many times you don't even have music? ok, if everyone was dancing. . . but instead everyone is just standing there silently watching you. . . . hahahhahaha. .. . ah well i pull some shit anyway hahah XD This particular casting though, they asked "Have you seen hairspray?" "Nope, but i've seen highschool musical?" and they told me to dance like they do in that movie. . . . really broadway like ahhahaha, i skip in and like kick with my legs and what not. . . . and she kept telling me to do big movements. . . i'm like GRAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH. . . . hahahha ah well love it anwyays. . . so much fun XD
omg. . . . omg. . .. omg .. . . omg OMG I AM SO PISSED OFF!. . . the internet died. .. . i afdgsknm hate this piece of shit. .. ANYBODY WHO READS THIS! DO NOT PURCHASE ANY OF THE 3G MOBILE INTERNET DEVICES! THEY ARE `PROBABLY THE MOST WORTHLESS PIECES OF SHIT EVER TO BE DEVELOPED BY THE SNEAKY MINDS OF HUMAN KIND! . . .. . save yourselves from heartache. . .. god i hope this gets onto google. . .. i hope this is broadcasted over the entire world i want those assholes to go bankrupt because of this shit. . . .
hrm. .. ok sorry, can't write more now. . . tired. . . pissed off as hell. . . work tomorrow. . . .ugh. . . i'll finish this off later ;)

Postpone again!

Heeej!
Måste gå lägga mig :( Tidig dag imorgon och jag kom precis hem. . . usch usch. . . får berätta om dagarna imorgon ist hahaha

Lotsa Love

Alex

PS.
Kul att höra från familjen Bimark :D Hoppas ni alla har det bra!

No Time! I wore a thong -.-

Tjjooo!
I have no time to write today, another show tomorrow morning and i came home late!
The underwear show today . . .. i was expecting the worst of the worst, and i was having a nervous breakdown haha XD Nah but i was a bit worried :P
Turns out it wasn't that bad, we just had to stand behind a huuuuge window facing the street, 1 min exposure for each outfit, 3 outfits each and one finale where we all stood behind the window at the same time. . . . . which means i made 200 dollars a minute. . . . . DAMN good pay. 800 sing for a quiiick show. (Quite a little crowd assembled hahahha)
I had to wear a thong thing underneath the underwear though. . . . .. i think it is the most shameful thing i have done in my life. . . . hahahhahaahahhaa! We were all complaining and crying about it hahahhaa, but we all had one hell of a laugh about it hahahhahaha insane. . . .
After the show, i went to the golf club with chris and johan, we ate, and now i'm home. . . . it's 12am soon and i gotta go to bed. . . NOW ;)
Oh btw, had a casting in the morning, just went there, showed my portfolio talked a bit, left. At first i didn't want it because it was for a newspaper, so they dun pay well and pictures usually aren't very good. . .. but then when i got there i found out that the pictures would be taken black and white, slow photography (or whatever it's called, anyway, it means that the objects that move in the picture will be blurred, so i have to stand really still) And i REALLY wanna do a shoot giving those kind of pictures hehe. However, the shoot is on monday i believe, and i have SOOO much on monday, shows n castings and what not. . . but the agency told the clients it should work out some way. . . they told me might have to have one hell of a day monday ahha XD So i hope i get the job anyways!
Well i gotsa go to bed!

Lotsa Love

Boat trip!

Ok, picking up from where i left off. . .
I lay in bed. . . .half sleeping. . .. then i hear someone rush into the room and start yelling "WAKE THE F UPP!" i jerk myself up and go WHAT?! WHAT?!. . .. . survey the room i'm in, look out a window . . . a sight i don't recognize . . . i see water, palm trees and bungalo-like resort hotel houses. I then remember i'm on the yacht, and what i am seeing is probably Sebana cove. . .. i wave off Daniel and tell him i'll be up soon.. . . . i lay in bed. . . half sleeping. . . "DUDE WHAT THE HELL COMMON WAKE UP!!!". . . the second time someone bursts into the room screaming. . .. i wave him off. . . OK OK I'M COMMING!. . . . i lay in bed. . . half a sleep "DUDE IMMA RIP YER BLANKET OFF COMMON!!!!" Aftera while of hanging on to my blanket for dear life, i wave off the third attempt to wake me up "OK OK! I'm awake, i'm awake!". . . . . i lay in bed. . . half asleep. . . "DUDE WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MORNING TIME TO WAKE UP!!!" This time i unsucessfully wave off the attack and end up laying in bed without my blanket. . . .
As i stumble and move forward with much trouble, out into the "Living room" of the boat, in only my underwear, i see a pretty cute girl standing in the kitchen. She smiles and i say good morning with my sexy drug-addict morning voice and give a vague smile with my eyes half closed.
She laughs and says good morning.
I continue my limp walk to the outside area of the boat, open a sliding glass door and greet the intense sun with an equally intense squinting face. . . looking as if i'd just been slapped and still haven't figured out what the hell just happened.
As my eyes adjust, i see the group of boys standing there all wide awake and full of energy. . . they had already been out swimming off the boat. . . . . it was bloody 11am in the morning. . . .
When i entered the outdoors they yelled "It's about damn time, now let's go on the banan boat!" I figured. . . shit. . . i wanna eat something. . . .i wanna wake up. . .. i'm gonna die. . . .
So i made my way back to the room, changed into my swimming shorts and stumbled back out.
Apparently someone agreed with my first desire, i think it was Johan who changed his mind and said, let's eat breakfast first!
MMMMMmmmmmmmHHHMmmmm!!!! Breakfast was bacon, eggs, pancakes, lots of meat. . . i was awake again! WHOOO!!!
After our meal we all ran outside fit for fight, i suggested we jump off the yacht's roof (Around 12-14 meters high), i was still a bit dosy, so i figured the adrenaline would wake me up. Me, Chris and Daniel ran upstairs.
Idris filmed us, as we made our first jump off the boat into the water. . . . WONDERFUL!
This is the beginning of my boat trip haha.
Ok so first day. . . we swam around for quite a bit, wonderful place. Slightly salted water, no crocodiles as far as the eye could see haha.
The ship's crew and Idris' entourage of bodygaurds were all very friendly people, especially the yachts crew. . . AWESOME people.
So, that first day we swam around for a bit, then we all crowded on the same golf buggie that Idris had fixed from a nearby golf course. There were five of us, 3 (Chris, Idris, Johan) Barely able to fit in the seats, and two (Me and Daniel) of us standing on the back of the buggie holding on to the roof for dear life.
We drove to a place where three resort houses were grouped together. . . . . Idris had bought them.
We then got into Idris' car and drove to a beach. The sand was white, the weather was hot. There were maybe 5 other people on the beach, 2 out in the water were surfing. We were pretty much alone on the beach. . . aside from Idris' bodygaurds ofc haha!
Nah but we had a lot of fun, we were chasing tiny little crabs that roll balls of sand and dig holes, we climbed up on rocks and just generally had a really good time hehe.
Ok, so we headed back from the beach and the rocks, to Idris' car.
We got in. . . . set out for the drive back to the boat, and resort area. . . . . .
Halfway there an accident occured!
Idris was driving, then from nowhere a freakin truck pulls out with his door opened, he does speed up and drive away, instead the truck pulls out slowly and kinda does a slowmotion turn and stops in the middle of the road.
Idris' slams the break, the anti skid mechanisim goes on, and we the car gradually slows down. . . . . but it's still going pretty fast. . . i look outside the front window. . . i see the rear of the truck getting closer at an uncomfortable speed. . . i see we aren't stopping. . . . things go in slowmotion and i just can't really comprehend what's going on. Finally Idris jerks the steering wheel to the left and we turn off the road, but it's a bit too late and the rear of the truck slams into the side mirror which shatters the drivers window. Glass blasts into the car and i'm like. . . "Holy shit. . . is Idris alright?" Because all i saw was glass exploding in the front seat. . .
Luckily no one got hurt, and as you can see on the picture to your left, only the mirror and the glass broke. A little scratch and dent can be found as well :P
We see the truck driver driving past us, staring at us in a pissed way. I wanted to kick his ass. But the body gaurds made it before us XD
We see the bodygaurds' car force the truck off the road to a stop. . . hahaha wonder what he felt when he realized he just messed up the Princes' car! Hahaha
Well we drove off and everyone was as happy as ever, it was shocking, but ceeewl.
When we got back we decided to chow down on some food. . . was yummy. . . and i was starvin!
Well i can't say i remember what we ordered, but they had good food there anyway XD and i LOOOOOOOOVE food.
Ok after we ate, the water activities began for real!
Let me tell you first, on the yacht, there is one big boat, one smaller boat, 2 jetskii's (Supposed to be 3) and 2 inflatable things (Banana boat + Donut ring). . .. . we had a SHITLOAD of fun hahahaha
The bannana boat is sooo fun it's unbelievable, picture of what it is, can be seen here to your left! Looks more like a hot dog if you ask me. . . Anyway. . . the object of the game is . . . .you guessed it, not to fall off. . . .. and let me tell you. . .easier said than done. We were doing it HIGH assed speeds. . . you are literally afraid of falling off because it hurts! if you dun slam into the water like into concrete, you either get someone's knee in your face or something like that hahaha but it was the most hilarious thing i have ever done. . . . we screamed, we laughed and we cried. . . . best ever. . . so much fun. . . . we were being towed behind a speedboat,
but that's not the worst. . . . OOOOOOOH no. . . .the worst of the worst is when you are being towed behind a jetski. . . .. . freakin hell. . . . .those things make you fly over the water. . . i know because i try and i cranked it up max speed. . .. . the feeling you get when you are going that fast. . .. . amazing. . . . simply. .. BREATHTAKING. . . INSANE speeds. . .
I dared only be towed twice by the jet ski. . . . this time i was on the ring. . . scariest moment of my life. . . i was flying all over the place. . . not falling off. . . just shitting my pants. . .. the g-force was. . . . just crazy. . . . and when i finally fell off, i skipped once on the waters surface, flew for quite a while before i finally crashed smack into the water. . . . ouch. . . (BTW, just incase you guys haven't listed it out yet!, it is possible to click the pictures to see a larger version!)
Anyway, it was truly extreme water sports going on hahaha XD Painful nonetheleast. . . .
Anyway we had a baaall, it was so much fun. . . . worth all the pain 10 times over!
After countless hours of torturing ourselves, we finally gave in and headed back to the boat.
Chris went to sleep.
The rest of us, took the golf buggie and drove off to the golf course, where we cashed out another golf buggie. Idris and I was sitting in one, Johan and Daniel was sitting in the other. . .. no. . . .where the hell was daniel. . . . I think Daniel jumped onto one of the Bodygaurds' mopeds. . . . yeh that's what happened.
So we drove out onto the golf field, following a cement path, with lots of twists and turns making the golf buggie ride even more fun! It was hilarious because we drove away from Daniel on his little moped together with this giant bodygaurd sitting behind him. . . . 2 big guys on a tiny moped HILAROUS sight. . . .. and we kept on loosing them because we were too far ahead, but every now and then we could see a tiny little light and the puttering noise of a moped in the distance HAhahahah omg we laughed so hard. . .
Anyway, eventually we started heading home (Now i finally got to drive the buggy for the first time. . . . and i don't think i have had so much fun with a mechanical toy in a looooong time) We pretty much borrow buggies and drove EVERYWHERE hahahah it's so hilariously fun XD It was just one giant laugh fest the entire time!
Well day was comming to its end.
We went back, picked up Chris, reunited with our long lost friend Daniel and headed to the restaurante to eat some dinner. . . .. LOVELLYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buffet. . .. Soooooo goooood, i ate so much. . . even though i had lost my capacity to chew. . . . earlier that day, when we were on the banana boat. . . . you see when you are sitting at the rear of the banana boat, all the guys in the front will be jumping up and down because it makes the rear person. . . literally fly into the air hahahhaha so much fun. . . anyway, i was unlucky. . . when i was in the rear. . . i flew up. . . . and smacked my jaw on Daniel's shoulder. . . . and hurt myself really bad. . .. i couldn't chew properly for the rest of the trip hehehe. . .well like i said. . the pain was worth it XD
Before we finally all caved in and went to bed at like 2am, we all watched a shiiiitload of movies back in the yacht. . . i think we watched around 4 movies, everyone had their own little sofa. . . and it was cozy and wonderful. . .. GREAT day. . . talk about the rest of the trip tomorrow!

Lotsa Love

A Boat Trip

Hello!

Oooook let's see!

Ok just briefly, before i went on the trip i had some watch show. We wore wierd black outfits haha, the girls looked like they were ninjas. . . it was like wetsuits haha. . . ah well, it was interesting i guess. . . a lot of waiting. . .

First we just kinda walked out, did our thing, went to our pedestals where a watch would be lowered down from the roof. We had to grab the container with the watch in it and put it on the pedestal :P We also had a watch on our arm. . . min was worth like 30300 sing dollars.

Well after the dramatic show, we had to stand by our pedestals. . . .. and mingle haha for an hour :P

So i talked with everyone that passed by and what not.

I saw a group of young ladies standing and smiling and laughing hahaha i'm like "WHAT?!" haha, So one of em comes over and says "You're the most popular guy here". . . shit's sweeeeeet!

And after the show the manager comes and "You're a really friendly guy aren't you?!" and apparently he kept on telling me and Kit (My booker) That i did a great job haha. . .. Guess i inherited my father's gift of speach ;)

Ok back to the day of the departure.

I Don't remember what i did during the day. . . . .hmmm. . . . . oooh right shit i did loots of stuff haha.

Well the night before (The night after the watch launch) i spent the night out. First i met johan, Barbra, and like 3 other russian chicks at the model appartment. Then we got a lift from Remy to Le noir where we sat till around 1am. I then went home to sleep at johan's house. Very impressive house, he had a piano in his living room which was worth an absolutely shocking amount of money :P That is one RICH assed family.

Well the next day i woke up 8 or 7am, got ready, johan was still in bed. I walked downstairs, ate breakfast with his maid haha, then after a little wait Johan's driver drove me to Genting Lane.

My first casting was at mediacorp for Men's Health magazine.

They looked through my book, asked me to remove my tshirt, said "ok looks good" and that was it. . . . dun think i'll get the job though :P It's men's health. . . i'm dun exactly have the men's health body yet haha XD

Anyway, Genting lane, where mediacorp is situated. . . . shit. . .everyone hates the place because it's so far away and you have to walk so far from the mrt hahaha. Ah well. . . actually i don't mind walking as long as i have music in my ears :P

Well, take a look, this is where a LOOOOOT of castings are because all the magazines are based there. . . Takes like 20min to walk back to the mrt. . . . no shelter from the sun. . . . tehehe. . . .

Well. . . what did i do after that?. . . . ooh right, man my memory is AWESOME must be something with the sun here in asia.

Anyway, when i had successfully taken myself back to the mrt, i went to my second casting. . . .. in Eunos Crescent. . . . Everyone hates this place as well because it is sooo bloody far away :P

I didn't go straight to the casting though, i had some time to kill so i hung around for a bit and went to 7-eleven and what not (Love 7-eleven now. . .go there all the time haha).

Anyway, i walked around in circles trying to find the casting venue. . . it was normal appartment houses and i felt like i was walking around for like 1 hour. . . . hahaha. Anyway, i finally found the correct block, so i was walking around trying to find the specific appartment when a woman walks up the stairs and asks if i was there for the casting.

Her name was Amy i think, wierd assed casting. It was a casting for fashion festival. . . so it was a casting for several events instead of just one specific one. I had to walk back and forth "Walk faster! Looks like you're going to a funeral!" and then i had to pretend i was doing a watch show and just do some stupid poses which emphasize the watch :P

So there, after sooo much trouble, poof 2 min of casting was all that was needed :P

I left, called Daniel, agreed to meet up with him in Orchard, got an sms from Chris, he was going to the same casting as i just did, so i decided to wait for him at Eunos Mrt.

We went together to Orchard to meet Daniel, went to starbucks. . . . farted around for a while.

Chris left home to get ready for the boat trip, i walked to the next casting together with Daniel (He was just following, didn't have the casting)

We walked for like forever. . . i was sweatty as shiiiiet when we finally got there (We stopped by a petshop to cool off and look at puppies first though haha)

When i got there, we were the only two guys, 5-6 girls. . . . . (The casting took a bloody 3-4 hours. . . . riddiculous, and only 5 peeps were before me!)

Ah well, it was fun, Me, Danny, David, Paul and some chick have been asked to try and round up models for model night at Le noir. So Daniel went all out and just flirted around and snagged all the girls' phonenumbers at the casting :P

And whoooooo there were some BEAUTIFUL GIRLS! especially one of the brazillian women WOW! hahahah XD (I had to hug her tightly for quite some time during the casting haha)

Anyway, this final casting was for a commercial in Bangkok. . . So i had to get my video taken from every angle, i had to walk around , i had to say lots of stuff, i had to act out various situations, i had to dance -.-

It was fun i guess. . . . but took waaay too long!

And the relatives had been waiting for me, expecting it wouldn't take more than 20 min. . . . took 3-4 hours hehe.

They drove me home (They had bought dinner for me), Quick stop at home, got my stuff together, and left for Clark Quay again.

Met Daniel and Chris (And another guy i had previously met, we exchanged numbers and then he left with his friends) Outside of a newly opened club called Le chinoir, i was supposed to attend a meeting before the opening night to help make some decisions hehe but i was occupied >.<

Anyway, Le chinoir is singapore's only strip club during the day, and now they are gonna open a model's night during saturdays. . . . and let me tell you. . . the venue is FREAKIN AWESOME!

It's like red everywhere, and the lighting and everything is just bloody awesome, i can't wait for the opening night (Which is this saturday, the time i'm writing about right now was this previous friday. . . we just went to check it out).

Well inside we met up with some other aquaintances, like the owner of the newly opened agency "Carver", some wierd french photografer and some other people :P

We didn't stay long though.

After we had checked out le chinoir, we went to the next place. Le noir haha. My old friend Kenji is back in singapore for a week before he heads to Australia, so he gave me a call and i told him to meet us at Le noir.

After x-amount of time in le noir, we quickly went to MOS just to show Chris what it looked like. Then we took farewell of Kenji and his friends, and left for the boat!

Now i don't remember all too well if we watched a movie or not. . . . i think we did, after the movie we all went to bed.

I'll tell you all about the day after, tomorrow ;)

Now i must go sleep! or i will be tired tomorrow :P

(Btw, in the above picture, in order; Kenji, Daniel, Some random guy, Chris)

Hope all is well!

Goodnight

Lots and lots of love!

/Alex

PS.

It's a pitty i didn't get to talk to you guys over the phone :(

About working on kondition. . . . . uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh i HATE kondition >.<>

OH BTW!

Today i just found out i scored a shoot for freakin FHM! hahah how awesome is that?!

Zie photoshoots!

Hellu!
Ok so two days ago (Monday) I had two photoshoots.

I had to be at the first photoshoot at 9.30am, which means i had to wake up at 7am . . . which i hate hehe.

Well I "Bet ihop" and took myself to the first shoot which was going to be held at BOOM Photography. Which happens to be the same studio where i had my second testshoot.

Well, when i first got there i plinged on the door. . . no answer. . . . plinged again. . . . no answer. . . . . it was really hot and i was sweating and i wanted AIRCONDITIONING!. . . . but no answer :P

Ah i figured what the hell, so i put down my bag, pulled out the japanese learning book and just stood there for a while haha.

After a while i plinged again, then someone opened. . .. I was let in and told to wait for the people who were gonna hold the shoot.

I Sat down on a couch and just went through some magazines, until eventually people started comming.

Let's see. . . The photographer, hair person, makeup person and two stylists came to participate in the shoot.

Well. . .. turns out men's folio is pretty big. First during the shoot i heard it. One of the stylists asked to see my portfolio, and asked if any of the pictures were from any magazines, i told them no and that i hadn't done many shoots. She responded "Well after this everyone will know who you are" . . . .. Shit is SWEEEEET!

Later at the casting i had the day after, i was with a group of models, and one of them said they got an editorial for Men's Folio, some of the guys slapped his back and said Congratulations. . . . I got a 10 page spread. . . . MWAHA! I didn't tell them though haha XD

Anyway, the shoot was very very long, 10 outfits, all of them were trendy suits from various brands such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Hugo Boss, etc etc.

It was an awesome shoot, a LOT of fun. The photographer was great, he directed me and helped a LOT!

For some reason i didn't find it awkward to stand infront of so many people and pose either hehe. . . guess i'm just getting used to it :P

The photos are all taken by the guy that did my hair (New hair style for each outfit, the first few outfits had neat hair, then later outfits were funky hair hehe), i gave him my camera (Thinking about you guys haha) and asked him to snap some photos for my relatives back home XD

He was a really nice guy, kept on fixing my hair every 20 seconds with water though. . . no exageration, he'd like, let the camera man take one photo, then he would run up fix a bit, run back and repeat the process haha.

It was an interesting experience indeed. . . at moments i would be trying to get my shoes on, simultaneously, someone would be fixing my hair and another person would be doing makeup. . . .hahaha

We kind of had to hurry because of my second shoot with Bridal Veil. The shoot lasted till 3pm.

They said this would be great for my portfolio. . . Whoooo! One step closer to Japan then haha :D

Alright, well i rushed out, grabbed a cab, and after the cab got lost in the neighbourhood i was supposed to go to (It was very confusing), we eventually found the house haha.

Well inside i met everyone from Bridal Veil again, including a few new girls i'd never met before. . . all very pleasant people, and the shoot was very laid back and we all just enjoyed ourselves haha.

This shoot was much easier and faster.

Firstly i told them i hadn't eaten anything yet (It was 4pm, i had only had an early breakfast) because i'd been at a job before this, no problem, they let me make a big assed sandwich in the kitchen ehhe. Btw. . .. Michelle's house was friggin MASSIVE! The roof was like 10 meters high!

I had to take a shower and get rid of all the crap they had put in my hair from the first shoot.

This shoot was for a bridal magazine, also ten outfits. Because the outfits were bridal, i was limited to looking like a gentleman haha so i didn't have to do any wierd poses and what not.

For example, the first shot.

The photographer was standing with Michelle and Michelle was talking about how she wanted the lighting. The photographer told he was going to take some testshoots. . . so i just stood there in the light watching the television and kinda . . . just doing nothing haha.

Then suddenly, Michelle goes "OK GO CHANGE INTO NEXT OUTFIT" I started laughing. . . btu she was serious hahahah apparently she loved one of the test shots the photographer had taken hahahahha so all the pictures i just kinda had to look casual XD it was fun. . . but a veeery long day. . i was getting a bit tired.

After the 10 outfits and one group photo together with Michelle (The Designer) and Ksenia (The über beautiful female model) i was told that i could just lay back and drink wine with them hahaha. So that's exactly what i did. . . i drank wine together with a crazy Australian girl, very sweet, and just sat there in the couch watching Ksenia's photoshoot. A very social night together with the Bridal Veil Staff. . . . lotsa fun.

I have lots of pictures. . . not of myself but of Ksenia (Never asked anyone to take pics of me, so you'll have to wait till the magazine is released hehe). . . which i cannot show anyways because the magazine might get pissed off haha. Not the bridal veil people. . . but the Bridal Magazine :P

Well i guess this one should be alright. . . doesn't really reveal any vital information, can't see the dress for shit hehe.

Alright gotta run, Time to eat with grandparents!

All in all. . was an AWESOME day, my day ended at like. . . past 12 anyway. Was loads of fun and met lotsa new and old faces!

This will be great for my portfolio hehe!

Sorry, will respond yer Comments from the previous posts when i get home! In about 2 hours or something.

PS. They supplied dinner as well ;) buffet even hehe.

Oh and today. . .

well i first woke up in the morning, went to the agency for a general casting for Daniel Boey and fashion festival (One whole month of lots and lots of shows)

I met Chris there, his wierd ukrainien roommate who looks exactly like johnny depp (He even has a photo of himself in his book where he's dressed up as Jack Sparrow) hahha he seems nice though XD. . . that just gave me an idea. . . imma get a picture taken together with him and tell everyone it's Johnny depp. . .. yeeeeeaaaaah. . . . haha XD

Ok anyway, there were quite a few girls there, it was a general casting so that Daniel Boey could choose his models for fashion festival. So like the whole agency was there :P

First the girls went, they had to walk and then get a snapshot, then the guys. they had to walk and get their picture taken without their tops on. Then it was my turn. . .

I stand up, Daniel says i don't have to walk nor do i have to get a snapshot. . . yeeeeeeeeeeh, everyone else had to do it, but he knows me already XD

After that i left with Chris and a girl named Olga. I was to walk with Olga to Bridal Veil for a fitting.

We left Chris at orchard and me and her walked to Bridal Veil. . . once we got there, they were like, huh? what are you doing here? you don't have to do a fitting. . . . yeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, every other model in the show had to do a fitting. . . but they already know me XD yeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. . . . hahahha so i actually didn't have to wake up at all today :P

Well who cares, i spent the rest of the day together with Chris, and we both opened a bank account at DBS bank, i recieved my first "bigger" check of like 2000 sing.

I WILL be going on the boat trip this friday, i am SOOOO psyched it's gonna be so much fun. Chris is comming as well!

Uuuuuhm. . . .. oh yeh, as i said, yesterday i was eating at the Dutch club. I forgot to mention i met one of mom's cousines. . . ..

I was on my way out when i heard someone yell ALEX!

I had no idea who it was. . . a younger pretty woman. . . . i dunno like 20-30 probably. she's like "Yeh i recognized the similarity in you and your mother, i'm one fo her cousines". . . . hahaha i'm like "WELL THERE YA GO! How bout that! I meet like new relatives everyday haha". . . i forgot to ask what her name was -.-

Well anyway, that's about it!

Lotsa Love!

Dad

Hehehe well i meant she had a big smile. . . which contained big teeth. . . i dunno she's pretty though. . . but then again i must fall for like half the models i meet everyday anyways hahaha XD And yeh. . . i wish i'd get a show where i just walk back and forth one time. . . that seems so much cooler :P

And about working out. . . well. . .. i don't want to get any bigger :( I can't get any bigger :( Today again, they said i shouldn't get any bigger. . . i'm like "But i want bigger shouldeeerrrsss :(" They said no haha. . . . And Daniel Agreed. . . . he had been in Japan and he told me that my friend Kenji who i met a while back had been there at the same time. HE was too big . . . . his waist is 29-30. . . .. mien is 32. . . .. Ah well we'll see. . . the market nowadays is for lean. . .so i'll just have to tone my body that's all. .. . .. still i wanted to be even bigger XD
