Heeey!
Alright let's just start off immediately :P
Wednesday:
Castings. . . . hmmm didn't anything interesting happen that day? OOOoooh riiight, remember the perfume launch casting i did where the verbal brawl between Chris and the brazillians broke out?
Well i got that job together with Chris hehe, so this was some kind of casting/fitting i think. . . . Becuase we got there, and a whole bunch of macho brazillian arrived as well as 2-3 girls.
I didn't fully understand what was going on during the process of the whole thing. . . . becuase the brazillian guys were doing what me and chris had already done at the casting before. . . .. so me n chris were a bit confused. . . Well i asked and it turns out me n chris are already confirmed, but the brazillians were doing a casting. So me n chris just had to put on our suits and show the client what we looked like in dinner wear :P Basically it was a fitting for us.
EEeeeeeuuuuhmmm. . . can't really remember what happened the rest of that day. . . . oh right i think i walked around fuunan checking out cameras and checking out pricings. . . . btw i've decided to buy an SLR (Systemkamera) now haha, i just enjoy taking pictures with those things and i've seen what you can do when you learn how to use them. . . simply amazing pictures. . . and i figure it will be an investment considering how the trips i will make after this summer will be a once in a lifetime experience, and i want to remember and show others my memories as clearly and vividly as possible hehe. So i think i might buy a cheaper Point and shoot digital camera as well, for those moments where i can't bring an SLR with me :P
Ok, on to thursday!
I found out wednesday that i was confirmed for. . . . a DONUT SHOW hahaha XD Or well actually it was a launch. . . so i guess it would be a DONUT EVENT! ZAAAMG!!!!
hahaha, anyway, i woke up early in the morning and headed to Raffles City, where i met Zsofia, and a really hungover/still drunk Anna haha. . .
We hung around joking with eachother for about 1 hour in the donut shop, because we were waiting for the hour-late Yuriy. . . the clients were getting really pissed hahahah an hour late. . . jeez. . .
Anyway, i didn't mind i was having a good time with the girls XD
When Yuriy came we did a really quick rehearsal. . .. so simple. . . just walk out pose in the middle of some stereo system and walk over to booths representing our clothing companies.
Affiliated with the donut launch were 4 local clothing brands, so we weren't actually wearing donuts haha.
I looked soooo out of place though. . . .
Ana - Dressed in a black casual dress
Zsofia - Black clothing, naughty police girl style
Yuriy - Sleak black nightlife suit
Me - . . . . .. . i looked like i was 10 hahaha, i was wearing gangstah style clothing XD A big fat hoody, a trucker cap, (The absolute worst and ugly) dotted shorts and a hideous black t-shirt with a pink donut on it. . .. . god. . . i was more ashamed of this outfit than during the underwear show hahahahhaha Ah well. . . i made a laugh of it so i jsut saw it as funny :P
After the rehearsal we got a few hours break which was when i rushed off to a casting (shortlist? not sure) for tvc and corporate video for a condominium.
The casting took palce in what seemed like a fancy schmancy rich man's hotel called "York hotel".
It went really quick, didn't have to do much, she just took some photos of me in profile etc, no wierd acting or dancing this time haha
After this i headed to the agency where i met Ana. . . who for some reason i'm really good friends with now all of a sudden, we walked arm in arm to raffles city where we were told to wait. I ran off and bought my lunch. . . subway sandwich ahha.
After a while Zsofia arrived as well and we headed together with the client BACK to the agency building where we did hair and makeup. . . . . another pointless trip for me. . .. they did makeup on the girls (Yuriy usually does his own. . .) and they did all three of their hairstyles. . .. . me? I didn't get anything :P Hairstyling nor makeup. . . pointless haha so i went up to the agency and hung around instead :P
After a while, the whole group headed back to the donut shop where we waited around and put on our outfits.
The crowd was massive. . . . looots n lots of media. .. . . and guess who the heck i bump into. . . hahahaha JX! our dear cousine me and mom met, and who i completely randomly met at zouk and who i now completely randomly met at an event launch hahah!
Remember mom? He was looking for a job? Well he has one now. . . and he was waorking with the PR of this launc hahaha. . . what a coinsidence XD Maybe i'll see him more now haha!
Well the show went on, there was a lot of giggly googly about my outfit by the models, clients and donut shop staff haha, i looked like a kid XD
Ah well, i just walked out into a freaking crowded place, did my thing, walked back with the models to a platform infront of the shop, Zsofia and Yuriy held a long red ribbon which the owner came and cut with a pair of scissors. At the same time a bang went off and drapes which were covering the entire donut shop fell down and revealed the entire shop together with its around 20 personed staff. Some of the staff were carrying brickor with donuts on them which they walked out into the crowd with and gave away freebies.
The models. .. well we just roamed around for a bit and had our photos taken by various media, pictures and videocameras. . . so i guess i'll be on the news again ;)
I walked around and talked a bit with JX, johan was also there with his new SLR camera laughing and taking pictures.
Eventually we were told that we could change out of our outfits (Finally)
We headed back to the shop and enjoyed some free donuts + ice caramel drink thingies.
I eventually Met up with johan and Zsofia, took farewell of JX.
Me, johan and Zsofia walked to Far east plaza where i was gonna cut my hair, they left me at the barber shop. I roamed around far east plaza for an hour after the haircut.
Then i met up with Zsofia again who had gone home and dressed up into a more formal dinner attire, we grabbed a cab to johan's schtek country club where we enjoyed free dinner together with Adam, Johan, Emma and two of emma's relatives (Her mother and little sister). Adam + emma and co are swedish btw ;) I've probably already mentioned this though :P
After the dinner we headed up to the bar for a few drinks, they continues on toward Clark Quay for some heavy partying, i left for home for some heavy sleeping.
Friday!
I woke up late, got a call from no one else but JOEL from sweden!
I headed down to town with my relatives, we ate, me n Cathy split off and headed down toward somerset mrt, where i split from Cathy and met up with Joel and his aunt. I took them to go eat at my favourite food court, Aunty mary left us after the lunch.
Me and Joel walked around for a bit checked out some stores, eventually ended up at the cinema's where we watched "Semi-Pro" with Will ferrel. . . love that guy haha! Funny movie.
After the movie we went and ate chicken rice. . . again. . . . at the same food court haha!
We then decided i'd show him clark quay, but first we had to head home and change into more suitable clothing.
I was dropped off at home by Cathy, who had been out all day with her friends and was now going to head out for coffee with susan, fred, guama, kong kong and susan's father.
I took a shower, got dressed, headed to clark quay, met up with joel.
We walked to Le noir. . . . joel was dressed in an XL t-shirt way too big for him, some sort of boots and some beige pants. It works, but it didn't complement his age. . . which ultimately led to him not getting into the club. . .. i walked back with joel to the mrt, took farewell, told him we'd try again wednesday, and i told him what the agency always tells me, put on a shirt and jeans to look older :P It's not like he was gonna drink anyway, buuuut the bartenders don't know that XD
Well, i headed back to le noir where i met up with some models, were out till around 3am which was when we ALL headed home to johan. Me, Adam, emma, Johan and sofia all slept in one room XD 3 beds :P 3 blankets. . . .not the best sleep i ever got if i say so myself haha.
The cabride home to johan's was really fun though, johan and emma were in one cab, myself, adam and zsofia were in another.
We told our cab driver to follow johan's cab, and we were screaming and yadda yadda, at a traffic light a truck filled with foreign workers and their families exposed to the night sky pulled up right next to us.
Adam rolls down the window and starts yelling how much he loves them, they loved us back and smiling children, mothers and fathers were all smiling widely and waving at us hahaha. . . so sweet XD
While we were all laying in bed, me and Adam were harassing Zsofia's english, she's from hungary and has a lovely english hahaha, so all three of us lay laughing our asses off for at least an hour before we finally got some shut eye. . .
Anyway, the next day, which happens to be today, which happens to be saturday, we all lay in bed till around 1pm.
Which was when everyone started waking up, Johan put on the movie "Idiocracy" Which is an absolutely brilliant view of the future. You know how humans always see the future as futuristic with flying cars and highly developed technology?
Well this movie depicts another view. . . a view of a completely retarded human population hahaha. It sounds so logical as well ahha well i recommend you watch it, you'll see what i mean!
Uuuuhm. . .well. . . . after the movie i took a shower, while the others farted around in the room, they eventually decided to go swimming in johan's pool. . .. i went and made breakfast instead haha.
After their swim we all returned to johan's room, they showered etc.
Johan put on the movie "Flushed away" while he went down to make dinner (He had invited his friends for dinner this night), the rest of us watched the movie. . . johan refused to let us help with the food XD
Chris also eventually arrived, he on the other hand went down and baked a cake, because he had promised Zsofia one. . ..
After the movie we all went down to the living room where we hung around doing virtually nothing, we ate some newly baked chocolate chip cookies which johan's maid had baked.
The reason we didn't start eating was because we were waiting for 2 more participants. 2 hungarian models, one was Dorina, i had met her a long time ago, and now she's back in singapore. The other was called Jenny and she is absolutely stunning.
When the yeventually came we started eating, salad, then meat with tortalini, then ice cream and finally Chris's chocolate cake haha.
Was a fun evening and an deffinitely pleasant and social day XD
Well. . . now i'm back home (They went out to party. . . again. . . i took the buss home) i have packed for the trip me and the relatives are making tomorrow, we are heading to BINTANT!!! whoooo, tell kimmy, mwahaha. . . . I have to extend my visa before the 26th, so we're heading to bintan for two days. . . tis gonna be sweeeeeeet!
Alright!. . . well now i have to log off, because it's late and i'm already gonna get less than 8 hours of sleep. . . and i hate getting less than 8 hours of sleep haha!
Lots and lots and lotsa love
I miss you all dearly, i really miss home. . . . yet i don't want to go home JUST yet. . . i have some more things i want to achieve before i leave!
Be back in singapore on monday evening!
PS.
Zuper fassssteeeeer-11!!
Jaoz! 10 000BC är ball, den är ju gjord av killarna som står bakom filmen "Day after tomorrow" så den e ju självklart episk och storslagen :P Dock ingen ZUPER film, men sevärd är den deffinitivt!
Sjukt coolt att freddan går fäktning, DET är imponerande! Jag är riktigt impad. . skulle villja se nån gång ;)
Hälsa familjen!
Lotsa Love!
Dad
Whoooa, niiice Paris! The country of androginous and super skinny super models XD
Vet att vi har vart där. . . kommer dock dessvärre icke ihåg särskilt mkt från den resan :(
Jag är glad och stolt att allting går så bra för dig! Grattis!
Lotsa love!
Farfar
Aaah! Bra farfar, din japanska påminnde mig att packa japanska läroboken för resan. . . kommer nog bli en lucrative learning session for me XD
Btw, i like that you include japanese slang and stuff as well, i feel that the slang is more pure to a language than the actual language alone hehe even the most well educated people use everyday slang that you just don't learn in school or books!
As for permanent modelling, i'm not going for that hehe, only thing that would make me stay in this profession is a giant shot at big time acting or something haha, which actually reminds me, i got my second letter from AADB.com:
"I am a filmmaker with New York University- Tisch School of the Arts- Asia here in Singapore. I am a writer/director and will be working on multiple film projects in the years to come, so I thought I would introduce myself. I think you have a really good look for film and would be interested in meeting up with you at some point to see what types of film work and stories you would like to participate in.
Please feel free to contact me at ******** or at *******
Best regards,
Melanie Schiele
NYU-Tisch Asia"
Coooool. . . . ..
Anyways, yeh good point about the personal training, i think i'll just run the diet, run a few new routines which i pick up off the internet and see how that works out. . . my main goal is jsut to get a smaller waist afterall. . . .so i'd rather put the money into a systemkamera :D
And you are very correct about the courses which i choose, and jsut like dad says, it's all about contacts and networking hehe Very interesting information, i appreciate it greatly!
And i don't usually jump into something as serious as this without deep deep thought. . . i mean just look at the cameras. . . i've been researching this stuff for mroe than a month now. . . and i STILL don't have a camera haha XD
Well thanks a lot!
Send my regard to farmor and i'll look forward to reading your next comment on monday ^^
Lotsa Love!
Mom

Hej, really impressed by the non partying, to have the strenght to go home when the others go out, i.e. not being pushed by the peer pressure (= grupp tryck (antar jag)). So as ususal sounds like you have flow (=flyt). It was the best day in my life thoug, chrashed my helicopter (which is not unusual) and broke the main rotor - now have to order a new one. However, before that you missed some cool flying. We went to Landet and had a great Easter dinner with the relatives and some neighbours, lots of good food and good company. Watch out for contacts through internet, the way the film whatever put her words is sounded a bit suspicious - but if it really is a girl it may not be that dangerous, had it been a guy I would definitly be very careful, sounds like a way of picking you up. Any way be careful when you meet up with her (or whatever it is). Have a good time at Bintan -- whis we were there, - 3 degrees and getting colder. Best reg

Hej again -- when reading my comment I saw to major mistakes 1. With your good flow -- I meant the work and so on. 2. It was NOT the best day in my life (missed out the NOT refering to my chrashed helicopter) Will proof read befor I publish the text next time (I did not act as I talk -- internal joke to Ivar if he reads this) 6-10
Konbanwa(good evening) Alex-kun,
Konban=this evening, Kon=Ima=Genzai=This=Present=Current,Ban=Evening, wa=conjunction.
I suppose Konbanwa is a shortened form of Konbanwa ikagadesuka?. Just like "Chiwa" is a shortened form of "Konnichiwa=Konchiwa", Kon was pronounced very low,almost unhearable. Nichi=hi=day.
After intensive research, I changed my idea of new camera.
Canon PowerShot G9. This is a camera positioned between compact and SLR, recommended, used by
many proffs, in Swedn SEK ca. 4,500: se Canon website. Let me know the price in Singapore.
After all, regular SLR is cumbersome for takeing around with it in whole world, including Tokyo, Shanghai, Jakarta, Hollywood and Stureplan.
If I remember right, Mpixel is 12.5
6-10 is recommending oldfashioned SLR. Don't listen to him, his concept of camera is out of date, not updated.
Don't come home dragging the whole outfit of oldfashioned SLR.
Watashi-no suisen-ga ichiban tadashii (My recommendation is top right) watashi=I watashino=My, suisen=recommendation, ga=conjunctionh, tadashii= right.
Love// Ivar
Hi my beautiful godson,
So you said I never told you about my attempt in the rag buisiness - must be my modest nature that took over, Nowadays, then nothing much is happening, that's when the old memories come back!!!
Missed you a lot Saturday when we all were out at Vettershaga for a very nice Easter lunchon. Lots and lots of good food and very nice company. Your kind parents picked me up at my place at around eleven am and we did not get back until around eight in the evening. So if was quite a long lunch! Your mother had brought some magasines with lots of nice pictures of you - you really photograf well.
But enough praize - your mother also told me something that really chocked me - she told me that you are using "snus". How come that you who allways has been anti nicotine has started "snusa". Don't you remember how you used to harass both your father and me about smooking? You even asked me once if I wanted to die. And you couldn't understand why I did not quit. I thougt you would never ever use nicotine in your life. And to "snusa" is almost as bad as smooking - it is even worse for your teeth. I really hope this is a stupid habit you can quit wright away before you get addictied to the nicotine.
You may think "who is talking" but take from someone who knows how hard it is kick the habit.
Still love you a lot and I hope you had a very god time in Bintan with your Singaporean family. Give them my best regards and stay good.
Love,
Lena
