Hellu

Well let's see here. . yesterday. . .
I didn't have any castings during the day, so i got to sleep late. After i had woken up i went to the agency and gave Ting, one of my bookers, two computer games she asked if she could borrow haha. While i was there i was also shown a few magazines from indonesia!
I saw the pictures and interview about me in Cleo magazine. . . hahahah omg the poster XD some fo the pictures were pretty good though, jane told me i to put two of them into my portfolio, it has the nice heading "Cleo Man" or something like that haha
Also, pictures of myself at the event, were in the magazines; Men's health, Her World and Maxim. . . (Btw, the girl that fell for me in indonesia, and kept contact through email haha, she was the cover gir of Maxim this month. . .. nice. . .. )
Well, after that i went to the gym, ate subway and left for my first casting of the day. . . . . at 8.30pm. The casting. . . i don't think went too well because the suit i had to try on was like 3 times the size of me hahaha so i'm deffinitely not fitted for the suit anyway XD
After that casting i left for my fitting for the Bridal show.. . .
There i met a Norwegian guy, turned out to be awesome and we talked the whole time hehe, we were the only 2 guys as well. . . i think 5-6 girls, i only knew like half of them.
Well the fitting sucked ass, it took so long and the manager couldn't make up her bloody mind and it was just. . . . uuugh, I was glad when it was finished. . . me n the norwegian guy sometimes critisized the whole thing in swedish and norwegian haha XD
Anyway, the norwegian asked me where i was headin, and i said clark quay, he said he could give me a lift, iäm like whoooo thanks!
We walked. . . i was expecting some old volvo or something because he was only 22 and was still in the university (He had taken 3 years off, for travelling and modelling between gymnasium and uni, now he's doing business). . . . . .. . we walk up to a black fancy fancy assed sportscar BMW. . . . .bloody sexy, hahaha i'm just like NO WAY! Amazing car.
Well he drove me to clark quay, i grabbed contact info, i went to Fashion bar, waited for Johan, Finally johan and barbra arrived. Eventually more friends arrived and eventually even the norwegian guy arrived.
Haha also a swedish guy called Christian who i had met at the ritz carlton came, he's a friend of David and Johan. He lives in singapore, btu he's really swedish :P
After fashion bar everyone went to Attica, some guys birthday or whatever. There i also ran into Jennifer, whom i met in JB hehe, i think she's american. . . yeh she is.
Well, eventually i went home. . . . and uuugh anotherwise great night turned bad.
I was in the cab. . . with my mp3 on. . . i figured i may as well practise speaking with strangers, so i turn of my ipod and start talking with the driver until we come to clementi. . . . . I pay him. . . My earphones are dangling outside of my shirt, so in some way it just briefly got stuck in the seatbelt as i was getting out of the car, and i feel the earphones tug at me, but it loosened as soon as i felt the tug as well. . . . anyway, i was busy saying goodbye, i closed the door, he drives off. . . . i start walking. . . i figure it would be nice with some music for the tiny walk home. . . . and wtf. . . .no ipod in my pocket. . . . the damn earphones are just disconnected from the ipod and the ipod is no where to be found. . . . after a minutes of fruitless searching. . . i give up and walk home pissed off as hell. . . . .. . bad bad bad bad. . . . .
AAAaaah well. . . . a new day begins. . .
I wake up at 8am, get ready. . . leave for a casting at the ngee an city. . . a.k.a Takashimaya.
Huge shopping mall, kinda fancy with louis vuitton and schtek like that. As usual the mall is seperated from the office tower. . . so i walk around looking for the elevator that will take me to the 19th floor. . . . .there's like 5 million elevators. . . . the maximum floor on 99.99999% of those elevators is the 6th floor. . . uuugh hate the elevators in singapore haha.
Anyway i eventually find it, i go up, i walk around a quickie, find the place.
Say hello to the models i know who are waiting there.
I see the younger of the three australians that i met during the Yuli Jewellery casting. We hit it off big, talking about shit in australia and what not. He's great.
Anyway, the girls began doing their walk for the client first (we had all waited for like an hour. . . . no one can keep time in this business haha)
And all models hate watch shows because you have to pose in a way that emphasizes the watch. . . . and i mean how many damn ways can you pose to emphasize a watch? so everyone is always doing the same poses and it always feels so wierd and awkward and you dunno where to put your arm and what not hahahha. . . stupid shows XD
The clients were all females. . . . and they were smiling and giggling and what not and asked where i was from and stuff haha so it went really well for me. I got an sms after the casting telling me that the clients really liked me but they were not sure because all the female models they booked for the show are HUUUUUGE! like 189cm tall and stuff. . . and that's without heals. . .. so they're not sure it's gonna work but imma go for a cast/fitting anyway. . . so we'll see :P
Well i waited for Ryan (The australian guy) to finish. Then we headed out together, my initial plan this morning was to return back home after the casting and sleep because i didn't have anything more to do that day.
Ryan however had another casting, but that was a long time more, at 4.30 and it wasn't even 12 yet.
So we walked around for a bit, i bought a slurpee because i was thirsty as hyeeell, and so did he. Then i showed him the food court on orchard road and i made him buy his first chicken rice. Then we tried some wierdo singaporian drinks. . . his was called "Whatever" you don't know what flavour you get, and i bought a drink called "green tea + white grape". I had tried it last time i was there and i found it really refreshing :P
After that we were once again just wandering around orchard, i decided we should sit down somewhere instead, so we went and sat outside the MRT station and jsut chielld.
And we were talking and talking, then some wierdo dressed in white sloooowly walks past us, STARING at us with reaaally sleazy half closed eyes. .. . he looked like he was concentrating really hard or something. . . . . i ignored him and we just kept on talking. . . .. . then as you know it, he comes BACK! from the other direction HAHAHahahah so he had done a u-turn in order to walk past me and Ryan again. . . HAHAHAHAH and he had the SAAAME facial expression and same speed hahahahahhaha hilarious. . . . fkin creepy guy hahahhaa. . . .
Anyway this time i waited a while. . . then i'm like "Dude. . .. . did you see that guy in white that walked passed us twice?!"
Ryan "Hahahhaha yeh he's standing over there staring at us right now HAHAHAHA" HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAFPNDSMLÖDANHSDMÖADNM
Then i continued telling him about how many gay guys there are in singapore, and all the wierd experiences i've had so far. . . like if you remember that gay guy i wrote about a long time ago in the MRT? well that was the wierdest thing ever. . . . anyway, neither us have anything against gay guys, we just found it funny haha. Ryan told me that San Fransisco is like the biggest gay place in the world! i had no idea :P
I told Ryan, "Now that i've been in singapore for a while, i know how a woman must feel when a guy hits on or approaches her" hahaha XD
We sat there for a while longer, then my friend Paul came completely out of the blue and said hey. so we all three sat there for quite a while, he was apparently heading to bangkok for a month or two for modelling.
Well it was nice, when paul left i realized how bloody sweaty i was becomming from just sitting there, so i told ryan to get up off his ass.
Then we were walking past a mall and i go "hey. . .. . ya wanna go see Alien Vs Predator 2?"
"That's the best idea i've heard all day!"
Hahahha so we went to the cinema where i had been once before with Johan.
We saw that we had JUST missed the show by 10 min. . . . but the next one was going at 3, Ryan's casting was at 4.45. I said, well it's not like we have anything better to do. . .we may as well just wait. (His casting was in the same building as the cinema)
So we sat around and whatever, i bought a burrito at tacco bell, he bought 3 big spring rolls. . . . and before ya know it, it was time for the movie!
Pretty nice movie, we both thought it was pretty good.
Well i took farewell of ryan and then i left for home!
I had made an evening appointment with Jamie but i was so tired and i asked her if she wanted to go to the german pub next week instead, she said he would be better for her as well cause she's going to KL tomorrow, so i went home and awaited the arrival of my grandparents. Then we went and ate at Rocky's pizzeria. . . i ordered a Lasagna. . . . the portion was waaay to tiny so i ordered a pizza as well hahaha XD
At the pizzeria, the table infront of me, 4 people went and sat on it.
2 guys, 2 girls. . . . .turns out the guys were gay. . . . .. and they were staring at me throughout the whole meal. . . . one eventually took out a camera and took a photo. . . i pretended not to see that -.-
Hahaha well now i'm back home aaaaaand. . . . . . weell. . . nothing! i have a casting tomorrow, 2.30pm. . . .that's all
OHOHOHOH!!!! and Johan said that he wants to take his grandfathers boat out next weekend to some River near JB where we can jetski, åka ring, and swim and shiet! AAAGH TIS GONNA BE AWESOME! From friday to sunday i think. Me, david, Idris, Johan, barbara, masha, elena, ola, anna, and one other girl whom i cant remember now.
Gonna be freakin sweet. . .. when i saw that boat, the only thing that went through my mind was. . . . "I'll be damned if i don't ever jump off from the top level of that boat . . . . . "
Oh right, i forgot to mention last time i think. The boat has two big boats on it and 2 jetskiis. . . . . .as in 2 big boats i mean boats about as big as Clemence's boat. . . .. . Insane. . . ..
Ah well! TILL TOMORROW!!!

Lotsa Love

HI Son,
I have skied on the river , up Johore Bahru, many a time in my younger days. Becareful, as once we saw a crocodile or aligator. Remember, I have told you the story before.We were skiing up river and we passed lots of boats standing stationary. People we sort of like pointing and jesturing and all excited!! Anyway we skied pass all the way up river tills the guy skiing stopped. Then we headed back down river on the way back to the sea towards Singapore. We stopped by the boats and asked them what was going on and they told us when we went by, there was a cro on the river by the banks!!!! Shit!! Everyone goes skiing on that river because it is so calm and it is the nearest river from Singapore. It is quite a challenge to ski in the sea as the waves makes skiing really tough. Not like in Sweden when the water is kind of calm, compared. The riverbanks are of mangrove swamps hence the Cros or aligators. Another time, one of my girlfriend was skiing and she fell and we turned around to pick her up and when we got there she sort of flew into the boat. She was stung by a bright coral coloured jellyfish which was not bigger then my palm!!! So the moral of the story is becareful with the big B!!!!! Just make sure you have a lifevast on if you are going into the water for jetskiing or skiing, any water sport requires a lifevast!!!! If you are going to jump from the top of the boat just make sure you know what you are doing!!!!!! Other the these worries, I am sure that you will enjoy yourselves enormously!!!!
Glad to hear that you have new friends. Could be good to have some Australien connections too!!!! You know future studies maybe, holidays maybe, business maybe......What do you mean Christian is so typically Swedish???!!Interesting to know.
One of my colleague celebrated his 40th birthday. We had an Italien buffé to celebrate him.Sami is his name and we gave hima winetasting night and a present check for him to buy some wine. It is a good day and I am going to complete it by watching a film. Goodnight my boy, hugs and kisses Mom

Hi, as I said in the mail, on the one hand I would get a braindamage if I lost my Ipod, on the other hand it's only matrial and, the best of all, saw some of the new ipods, really cool. Kim also felt for you but said that it should just be to do one more show and you have it again. Yeah, I also wonder what you mean by he is so Swedish? Went boxercising yeasterday, can hardly walk today. I overdid it a bit ;) Have to go to my early BNI tomorrow morning so must go and get my beauty sleep. Gnight
