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!
