IMM shoot!


Hola pedrooo!
Well what have i been doing lately?. . . . .
Two days ago (Monday) I went to some casting which i have forgotten :P
Then i went to the gym for the first time in like forever, then i ate subway, then i bought a tank top (I needed one for the IMM shoot on wednesday, but since i didn't have any singlets i had to buy one :P), Then i met up with Khai and picked up my protein powder.
Afterwards, me and Khai headed to starbucks and sat there for a few hours, and then i headed home. . . . funny story on the way home btw XD
Ok, in singapore there is so much propaganda about terrorism. They constantly chant ever 15 minutes in the subway speakers "If you see any suspicious persons or articles, please contact the staff or call 999(Police. . . . i think)"
Along with that they have cheesy videos playing over and over again in the subway stations haha.
All this propaganda personally makes me laugh, just because it's so cheesy hehe, but apparently some people take it very very seriously.
So i was carrying a duffle bag today, because i knew i would be carrying a lot (Interestingly enough, the protein powder is shaped like a bomb haha!). In the cheesy anti-terrorist video, a man with a duffle bag is portraying a terrorist, so i was playing around with the thought of people seeing me as suspicious, haha.
I kept moving the dufflebag around on the floor so that people could pass by and what not.
Then i notice some lady is looking pissed and sour as hell, giving me dirty looks every now and then. . .. this is when i started chuckling a bit and imagined her thinking i was a terrorist. (I always start chuckling when i hear in the speaker "If you see any suspicious persons. . .")
Anyway, the pissed lady was giving me dirty looks so i gave her some pissed looks as well.
After a while i see her pull out her phone and start smsing something (Now i start smiling because i imagine her texting the police or something haha)
To make it fit my fantasy even more, the woman looks up at the number of subway cart we are standing in. She looks at the number, sms a bit, looks at number again, sms a bit.
Hahahah now i'm really cracking myself up with thoughts of her thinking i'm a terrorist.
Now. . .. the wierd thing is. . . . .. as i leave the subway at clementi mrt. . . . two security personell come running to the cart where me and that angry lady had been standing, shouting something in their walkytalkies (I can't hear because i have my mp3 on). . . . .. Maybe she DID contact the staff? hahahahahha, it fits so well into what i had imagined XD What a B*tch. . . .
Ok the next day (Teusday). . . . euuuhmm . . . . oh right. . . i slept that entire day. . . . .
Today! (Wednesday):
- Woke up at 10am
- Left house at 11am
- Reached Ang Mo kio mrt station at 12.30pm
- Checked the map. . . wrong mrt station. . . . got on mrt again and headed to Yio chu blablabla whatever mrt station
- Walked to Ang Mo kio street 65. . . . in the blazing heat. . . my grey t-shirt turned dark grey :( REALLY REALLY hot day today. . . .
- Got to Mediacorp's office, ran to the bathroom, and changed into my singlet
- Walk to the studio, sit down and wait (Another shoot seemed to be going on. . .)
- Waited
- Waited
- And waited. . .
- Eventually the stylist told me to come over, i asked if i needed to be clean shaven. . . i had to. . . so i walked to the bathroom and shaved. . . haven't been clean shaven for so long now. . .
- When i got back. . . a chick was in my seat. . . . so i waited. . . .and waited
- When she was done i got called over, and i got my makeup done
- Found out that the girl that had taken my seat was to be my girlfriend today, she's from Vancouver and she's pretty cute!
- Very talkative and haha well we had a lot of fun
- After the stylists had fixed us up, we got called to a van. . . i'm like. . "WTF?!"
- Apparently today's shoot was an outdoor shoot. . .. ceeewwwllll
- So after quite some drive we arrived at Singapore Water resevoir, really beautiful place, wonderful scenery hehe
- And well. . . we started. . . 6 outfits each (Me and the canadian girl) Each outfit was shot together, so we had to pretend we were madly in love and what not
- Mind you. . . it was a FREAKIN HOT day. . . and i was sweating mah aaaass off!
- Well it was a fun shoot, i had to hold her a lot, but it didn't feel wierd because we had pretty much been talking consistantly ever since we first got introduced at the styling place. I liked her, we got a long well.
- Euuuhmmm . .. . well each outfit was shot at different locations around the resevoir, like by the water, by the trees, on a table, on a bench, and stuff like that hehe. Mysigt att få hålla om en brud hela dagen lång och få betalt XD
- The director was the same guy i had did the FHM shoot for, i like him a lot as well, really funny guy. Pretty much everyone working with this shoot was a lot of fun. . . . hence it was an enjoyable job! Aside from the insane heat ;)
- So, we finished off at 7.30 pm . . .. a 6 and a half hour shoot. . . out in the blazing sun. . . i hadn't eaten lunch, i had finished my water way in the beginning. . . .. i was STARVING, i was THIRSTY, and my god i was exhausted. . . .
- After taking farewell of everyone i headed to Takashimaya, it wasn't really on my way home, but the only thing on my mind at the moment was the japanese place called "Yoshinoya" I NEED FOOD! .. . . when i got there i felt like Harold and Kumar when they reach White Castle. . .. i felt like crying. . . that's how wonderful my meal was XD I ordered food for 14 dollars. . . . usually i pay around 6dollars for a meal. . . . BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! WHOOO!. . . shit now i'm hungry again. . . thinking about chicken katsu and chicken teriyaki and. . . etc. .. . mums. . .
- I had been walking around town with a tank top on. . . which i've never done before. . . i felt. . . naked hahahah. . .. . but screw it, my t-shirt from this morning was STILL sweaty. . . and i was to exhausted to care haha, so sitting on the mrt home i almost fell asleep. . .
- Now i'm back home anyway, and it's been a really enjoyable day i must say. . . . had a lot of fun!
- I appeared in the newspaper again today, it was advertising tomorrows release of "URBAN" the shoot i had done the cover shot for :D
- Khai told me, that now i'll be famous XD He said that the straits times is read by several million people every day, URBAN comes along with the straits times every thursday, and is read by millions all over asia hahahaha. . . .SWEEEET!!!! And i'm the model of this weeks URBAN nah nah nah nahaaahaaaaa!
- Just felt like i needed to boast on the magnitude of that cover shot XD

OK! That's about it! (BTW My protein shake tastes like SHIT. . . oh well. . . most healthy stuff tends to do that XD)

GNIGHT!

Lotsa Love!

Today is the first day to feel having got rid of illness Which I suffered since last Friday evening.
Up and down temp. between abt.40C and 38C with Alex-way of sweating in Singapore combined with extremely difficult computer-problem got me really exhausted.
At last as far as illness concerned, I started feel easier from yesterday evening with less headach and sweating. Today O.K., I feel relieved, fresh and sound.
Computer problem was still unsolved although I changed the graphic card, bought a new 500GB S-ATA HDD and installed.
I gave up, talked with Stefan Lorentson, asked Teresa who was staying here since Friday night, to take the troubled computer to Stefan. Cross fingers, hope for the best, otherwise, I have to buy a new one to Tessa+Freddan.

Really good that Shirley, 6-10 with Fluffy came to the countryside. Together with Gabby,Freddan who were left behind by their parents we enjoyed a family-gathering, forgot computer-proble, listened to 6-10's talk about how brilliantly he succeeded to get a licensed hunter.
He even demonstrated how to aim at wild animals and shoot. He looked very sharp aiming, shooting without a real gun, I will not be surprised to see 6-10's name as gold-medalist at next Olympic.

Byooki(illness)ga naotta (recovered,got rid of) bakari(just,straight after) desukara(therefore) korede(at this point) toko-ni(bed) tsukimasu(go to bed).

I repeat:
Byookiga naotta bakari-desukara,korede tokoni tsukimasu.
As I have just recoered from illness,I go to bed now.

Love, Ivar
I remember I promised to tell you how you say LOVE, A LOT of LOVE at end of letter in Jpanese. Please wait(Chotto matte).

Hi Alex,

Hope you still rember me - your "old" godmother. Sorry that I have not written to you for quite a while, but I have been feeling really bad for a couple of weeks with an awfull pain in my legs, arms and lower back. That pain has prevented me from wearing clothes (sounds stupid but they heart all over)and not knowing if I would sit or lay down. So sitting by the computer to read your blog and than answer it was not a choise.

Enough about that. I am glad that you are doing so well in S-pore and I am happy about your success as a modell. But most of all I am really exited about the fact that you are comming home in the beguinning of June. How long will you stay and what are your plans for the summer? Hope to see a lot of you when you are in Stockholm.

Lots of love,
Lena
