Jumpy casting + Sammy and Erika


Hellu!
I think i have a slight fever. . . i feel like shiiiieeet. . . .
Well today (Thursday)
- Woke up
- Left for a casting in Joo seng road close to potong pasir mrt (About 1 and a half hour away)
- Got to the mrt station and grabbed a cab
- Arrived at the "Brilliant Building" which was the name of the building. . .
- Walk in, search for a bathroom so that i can change into shirt and jeans (I was wearing tshirt and shorts)
- Couldn't find any, so i run into an empty staircase and change there haha
- Go look for the casting
- Find it, i get escorted by a tiny girl to another room, which was a big assed studio
- Got to fill out some papers, talked with the guy taking photos at the casting, really friendly guy
- I walk in i see a pretty buffed guy doing his casting, i wait outside a while
- Eventually it's my turn, i walk in, and there are quite a few people who will be looking at the casting
- I was curious what i had to do. . . .. i would have to run and do a jumping pose across the scene hahaha! Infront of a group of people. . . hahaha
- I get to see the pictures from the guy that was just doing his casting. . .. . looked amazing. . . he was like flying. . . . turns out he's a stuntman. . . yippie that helped build my confidence . . .
- Well one thing led to another and sooner or later it was time to start running and jumping hahahha
- Was pretty fun, and what do ya know? The pictures looked so cool i actually asked the casting guy to send them to my email. . . he said that he can't send em right now, i'd have to wait till after the Ad was released. . . which is understandable
- The casting was for some property print ad thing :P
- After the casting i walked into the nearest bathroom and changed back into shorts and t-shirt
- Embarked on my journey to the merlion near Raffles Place, where i would meet Sammy and Erika
- Waited around the merlion for about 45 minutes until they came (Didn't mind that much though. . . i was so so sweaty, i needed some time to cool down XD)
- They eventually came, we took a few photos with the merlion statue
- Headed to subway for lunch
- Played some dice games
- Took mrt to Harbourfront
- Walked around Vivocity for a while before we decided to head to Haw par Villa (A type of outdoor museum with lots of statues depicting various chinese folklore hehe)
- We had pretty fun! and we rubbed buddahs belly again! :D
- Then we headed back to Vivocity, which we checked out for a while before we started looking for their buss which would be taking them back to Kuala Lumpur
- We found the bus, i contacted Yee Yee, she said i could join her and her friend for dinner, i accepted
- I Took farewell of The swedish couple and hopped onto a bus home. . . during the buss ride i called Yee Yee and declined the dinner. . .. i don't feel good at all. . .
- It was a true pleasure having my fifth group of guests from sweden! Both Sammy and Erika are great, uplifting people hehe
- I was on the bus snapping photos of the sunset, when i realized it strayed from the path i was used to . . .. i guess i had jumped onto the wrong bus. . .
- I walked to our house, took about 30 minutes. . . but i took some nice photos on the way so i don't see it as a loss
- I walked to the local coffee shop and ordered a Chicken rice. . .. i've never eaten so much chilly in my life. .. i was dying.. . . but it was yummy ^^
- Well now i'm here. . . that's about it for today! Nothing schedualed for tomorrow yet, which is good. . . hopefully a good nights sleep will fix my health :P I haven't been sick for a year now btw. . .

Lotsa Love!

Otukare-no yoodesune? Alex-san, =
You look tired (hard work), Alex-san,

Me too, very much tired today.
Yesterday and today I stayed almost all the time inside house in fron of a computer in spite of fine sunshine. A computer totally crashed, I tried tried all possible ways except one which needed disket operation to format completely, to try to install OS from scratch. Unfortunately those diskets are at the countryside. Tomorrow I have to take that computer to the countryside to do that iperation. The cause of the crash is Fredriks sudden (flr me) interest in computer game of rather complecated level, without preparing the computer for that. Grafic card did not fit for playing that kind of high level games.
The grafic card is from 2000. Don't laugh, I found a couple of weeks ago that you didn't updated version of you grafic card in you last computer which you got 2003 May, not at all.

Hotel management sounds great, especially for your charming personality. Charm some hotel princesses like Paris Hilton, meaning a direct access to hotel management, allowing me to stay at your 5 star hotel free of charge including all meals with drinks. Arigatoo gozaimasu.
I went to bed close to midnight and went up 3:00 to repair the computer this morning. Pretty tired and sleepy I am.

Many nice interesting pictures, I enjoy them, arigatoo.

Oyasumi nasai or ohayoo.

Odaijini=take care, Ivar

Teisei=correction

I can see I wrote my comment in half sleeping.

2nd line=look tire (after much work). Often used in polite or business letters to colleagues, associates, not to one's superiors. The crashed computer is not mine, the one in Gamla stan.

7th line=diskett

11th=operation instead of iperation

12th=(for me)
13th=complicated instead of complecated

18th=laugh instead of laughed

Enjoyed your sunset pictures! However, the motorcycles line at the coastway took the prize! I thought first that it was a race, then I recognised the custom building. Your have probably overtired yourself running around both working and taking care of your friends. I know that when you don´t get enough rest then you fall sick. You have been like that since you were a child. Drink lots to help your body fush out the toxin. Eat fruits everyday! Hope you feel better soon. I am still feeling abit crabby but am drinking lots of cooling tea, like marigold tea, chrysthamen tea. You can buy cooling tea to drink most places in Singapore. Do you remember the herbal tea I make you drink when I was in Singapore? Take care! Lots of love Mom
