G-star show + Bridal Veil 3

Hiyo!
Well yesterday (Friday):
I woke up early to go to a Calvin klein casting. . .
I get to the Fashion Fest tent outside Ngee Ann. . . .i walk in, the gaurds ask what i'm doing, i tell em i have a casting, after a bit of convincing they show me the backstage (They hadn't heard of daniel boey nor any casting. . . which i thought was strange)
I walk into a room with about 10 girls lined up in a line wearing designer outfits. . . . sure enough Daniel boey was there together with maybe 3-4 other men who are probably the clients.
I joined another heap of female models a bit further back in the room to wait, because daniel seemed busy. . . . . I was confused. . . why wasn't there any guys there. . . Turns out the damn casting is next friday haha. . . didn't check the date on the casting call!
Ah well. . . a bit bummed out because i lost out on sleep for nothing, i proceeded to the foodcourt for a chicken rice lunch.After the lunch i headed to Hayji road. . . just to find out that most of the shops hadn't opened yet. . . . It was blazing hot. . . it was actually dripping sweat off my face and i was wearing jeans because i thought i was gonna have a casting. . .. Well i had brought shorts with me anyway, but i couldn't find a place to change. . .. however i was getting desperate. . . it was so unbelievably hot, i actually ended up stripping down out in the open on Hayji Street! hahaha changed into my shorts really quickly in public XD That's how freakin bad it was. . . I found a somewhat remote spot but there were still people around :P Don't think anyone saw though. . . maybe one indian guy haha but who cares. . . as if i'll meet him again. . .
Well i headed to Bugis junction, called Joel, he told me he would meet me at Orchard mrt.
I hit starbucks first, after starbucks i went to orchard mrt where i waited for about half an hour. . .
Joel finally came and we took a cab. . . . back to Hayji street hahaha, this time the shops were open though, and i bought a scarf. . . earlier that day just before the "Casting" i also bought a pair of sunglasses from Topman. . . 36 dollars haha
Well, me n joel hastily went through the shops on Hayji Street, and before we knew it, it was time to head to City hall. I showed him the "River island" botique, shortly afterwards i left to the agency for "Hair & makeup" prior to the G-star show.
(We didn't really need professional Hair & makeup, but the agency organized it for us anyway)
I complained and told them that the stylists never do anything for me anyway, so Kit agreed and let me come 1 hour later than first stated.
I hung out at the agency for a while before i went next door to get "fixed" up :P
Yuriy was already sitting there with a shitload of makeup on (He always wears makeup) anastasia was also there (A "new" girl from ukraine, not the old anastaysia)
Some cute girl did my makeup, and then some girl did my hair. . . . sure enough. . . just as i had told the agency, the makeup was unnecessary and the hair. . . well just like always, the stylist tries to do something with my hair for about 10 minutes before they give up and let me do it myself hahha. . .
So anyway, the girl doing the makeup had apparently just graduated from makeup school or whatever, so she told me she wasn't very good with men's makeup. . . . . no she wasn't. . . i looked like a doll/girl. . . . and the hair. . . well she just made it worse because she used some wierd gel/wax/oil thing that just completely fked up the hair haha. . . . so i turned out worse than what i looked before the "fixing" haha.
I went back to the agency. . . asked if i could whipe off the makeup. . . Jane agreed, she laughed and agreed that i looked like a doll/girl hahah. . . so i ended whiping off all the makeup :P
So well that whole ordeal was unecessary XD
Eventually it became time to head to the G-star botique in Paragon shopping mall.
It was me, Bruno, Yuriy, Anastasia, Bruno's Girlfriend and Vince.
It was a great event (It was a launch of the new season's collection)
We just had to walk around the store and pose here and there, went on for a good hour or two.
It was great, we were allowed to eat, sit, talk, drink, just as long as it was a bit posy pose-likeish haha ^^
Anyway, i had a great time, and i kinda look up to Vince and Bruno so it was nice hanging out there :P
Another thing, people are saying that i've slimmed down haha whooo! Must've done something right then. . . Bruno was like nice bro! you look a lot better now than when we first did that Central show together! (And this is comming from a guy that got a perfect six pack within 3 weeks from a completely flat stomache. . . )
The people at Bridal Veil also said i had slimmed down. . . so when Joel leaves and i start hitting the gym everyday, it'll be fun to see if something more happens hehe ;)
Ok anyway, after the G-star show, i headed home (Dinner was the food they had at the event launch)
After a shower i headed back out into singapore.
I met up with Joel at tanjong pagar and together we headed to Nicole chen's Sister's birthday party.
Man. . . the people we met that night. . . First group we befriended was before we had reached the Party, we went to a public toilet and some lady standing at the counter started mumbling something in chinese to me and joel. . . i figured she was trying to tell us we had to pay. . . so we stopped up and looked confused at eachother. . . But there was a guy about our age washing his hands nearby, he laughed and told us to just ignore her.. . . i think she had a few screws loose.
After our bathroom visit we headed out to wash our hands, and the guy was still there waiting for his friends who were in the bathroom, so we talked for a bit and asked for directions. We ended up walked together with them, happily socializing, great guys. They told us to come to the club they were going if we couldn't find the place we were looking for.
Taking farewell of them we continued our search along tanjong pagar road, got lost again, asked for directions from another mixed group, they kindly and enthusiastically gave us directions (As we were leaving i heard one of the girls in the group tell the guy that gave us the directions "Handsome boy, why you let them leave?!" and then i think he started yelling after us, but we kept going haha)
Eventually we got to the first point of localization, the club "Play" which also happens to be the club the agency people took me one of my first nights in singapore in order to meet clients. . . . .Another interesting thing is that it's a gay bar. . .so everyone standing outside was staring at us as we walked by haha, anyway we asked them for directions, and we eventually found the place. . . . which turned out to be a gay bar as well. . . .. looooots of stares :P
Apparently where we wanted to go was just above the Gay club, so we finally found it haha.
We had a lot of fun, even though neither me nor Joel Really drank anything (Joel was underaged, and i can't remember the last time i paid for alcohol so i didn't want to start now hahaha)
We became good friends with a few different groups at the party, most noteable were a group of australians who we hung out with most of the time we were there.
And wow. . . Nicole is hot, and her sister is WOW, she can literally dance her way into any man's heart. . . never seen a girl dance like that before. . . .me n joel were like WTF==!??!?!?!
haha anyway, was a great great night and me n joel had a lot of fun. We headed home at around 3am.
Ok today (Saturday):
I woke up from joel calling me at around 10am, then i went back to bed till 10.30, which was when i got ready for work.
Headed into town, headed to Bridal Veil for my third Bridal Veil show.
The entire group was there, Michelle + co. and the models, Olga, Ksenia and Ganna. The female guest models were also there (They are all customers of bridal veil)
I lay down in a sofa and waited for the show to start. . wasn't much else to do hehe.
The show finally started and well it was just like the two previous shows, only difference was that they said they didn't need to draw fake facial hair on me this time to make me look older haha
The dresser kept giving me white whine to drink everytime i changed outfits (8 outfits) so i got a teeny weeny bit tipsy during the show :P
Well. . . uuuhm- . .. . the show was great, and jsut like a said, it was pretty much exactly the same as the previous 2 shows. . .
After the show we always have to stick around and mingle for a bit, i asked if i could get my picture taken with teh guest models because i think they were all very attractive women haha XD
Anyway, the two closest to me i put my arms around and they're like "Are you jealous now?!" to the girls standing further away from me. . . haha and the photographer told me that they had been going "Gaga" at me during the show. . . mwaha brag brag brag. . . but this is what i wanna read when i go through my life XD
Anyway, i left pretty quickly to meet up with Joel. . .. we hung out at starbucks for quite a while, before we once again headed to Hayji Street. . . .-.-
After Hayji Street, we went to bugis junction and watched the americanised version of the scariest movie i've ever seen in my life, a thai movie called "Shutter". . . .the american version was nothing compared to the thai one though. . . barely got scared at all which kinda bummed me considering how completely mind flayed i got from watching the thai version. . .
After the movie me and joel went to a japanese fastfood place called "Yoshinoya". . .. that's it, i'm never eating a hamburger again. . . if i want fastfood, this is where i will go. . . cheaper, same amount of food. . . . and DAMN it was good!
After the dinner, Joel had to leave to the airport to check his tickets (It was 9pm so that kinda sucked hahaha)
As for myself, i headed home, happily snapping pictures here and there with my camera ^^
And now i'm here!
Oh btw, did i mention i got that job which i had a casting for a few days back? It was one of the big castings with lots and lots of models at 9pm, where i came all sweatty from the zoo without my portfolio or anything haha. So i'm lucky i stayed because i was extremly close to ditching the casting when i saw how many models there were. . . . :P Did NOT think i'd get that job if we say so haha XD
Well that's about it. . .
Oyasumi nasai!

Mutto aishimas. . . . .. Sounds wierd. . . how do i say "lots of love" in japanese farfar? haha

PS.
Farfar
All the pictures that day were taken with the G9, however, some pictures were taken with more care than others, for example the pictures of myself in the G-star clothes were taken by the store assistant so i just switched the camera to Auto, which means it sets the settings for the photo by itself, but you won't get as nice pictures as when you do it yourself :P
Haha just let me know if you want anything, singapore is the place to purchase electronics, cheapest and safest in Asia.
I dislike fotball. . . i only watch it because i like taking a beer together with my football fanatic friends haha.
Girls on the other hand. . . i'll gladly go sit somewhere and just pass time by watching girls walk by XD
Thanks for the effort you put into the study information! Interesting stuff, damn this is hard deciding what i want to do :(
Hope all is well with you! Hälsa farmor!
Mutto Aishimas? haha

Dad
Haha! I hardly think a G-string show would be fun XD. . . . actually i take that back, i think i would laugh my ass off if i ever HAD to do one of those. . . . but damn hope i don't XD
And yes. . . YES. . . i have inherited your heat genes to the fullest. . . . that's why i most of the time bring shorts in my back pack if i wear jeans to work. And a t-shirt if i have to wear a shirt :P
Joel is always making fun of the sweat i produce XD
But hey! I got that job anyway hahah :D
Hope all is well my lovely family! Send my regards!
Lotsa Love!

Underbara Kussen!
Tja maaaann! haha kul att höra från dig, och tacka din syrra för hjälpen ;)
Arrråååå brudarna i singapore är precis i min smak XD Riktigt nice! När du blivit lite äldre kan vi dra ut å spana in brudar tillsammans hahahha, Gabbis får väl ta och godkänna tjejerna du tar hem först antar jag väl!
Oroa dig icke något mer min vän, jag kommer hem before you know it ;) 2 månader kvar bara!
Hare så bra och hälsa hela familjen så gott!
Lotsa Love!

Chooshiwa-ikaga?=Chooshiwa doo=How are you?=Hur är läget,
Chooshi=condition=situation,
Ikaga?=how is, Doo?=Ikaga?,simpler form of Ikaga.
Chooshiwa-ikaga is more polite than Choosiwa doo. Most polite form is Chooshiwa ikaga-desuka?

Eve-Marie & I came to Stockholm to have a lunch with your parents tomorrow. Vår bäste advokat inbjudit oss til en bruch på restaurant Berns kl.11:30 i morgon.

Some additional comments on football,girls:
I am changing my interest to ladays football, already picked up a couple of favourite players.
Beautiful girls, yes, I enjoy,appreciate looking at beautiful girls very much,however,being a married man and extremely old, I know the limit.
If I start running after girls, I will certainly get into big PROBLEMs, enornouse tragedies. I also just sit and watch girls passing by as you do. One thing in common, good. Big diggerence is your time will come soon, my time is passed forever, sad but fact of life.

I like looking at your pictures, I can see you are enjoying taking pictures, editing them, good. I don't know about Canon's editing program, why don't use Picasa2? Is Canon's better than Picasa? I am aiming at using Adobe Photoshop.

Today I have to finnish writing now and go to bed. Tommorrow at the countryside, I shall write more.

Lots of love, Mutto aishimasu: you gave me lots of headache. Not so easy question, I shall do a lots of thinking to give you best answer to you tomorrow. Mutto is wrong, not Japanese, I guess you say "motto=more". Motto aishimasu sounds strange to my ears in this contex. I shall think it over.

Oyasumi-nasai,
Ivar
