Another job screwed is another lesson learnt. Level UP.

Its not uncommon for models to get sick. But to transmit this message over by SMS, and not by calling me immediately, is, in my point of view, very irresponsible. Especially when its 30 minutes before calltime. Handphone low battery is a very weak excuse, is your house phone 50 metres away?

What if I missed the msg? What if I didnt check my phone? What if by the time I see the msg, its already 5 minutes before shoot?

Why is it DIAL 999 and not SMS 999? Isn't it common sense?


Thats why I hate SMS.



A week ago, Giena and I went to Curry Favor House at Stamford House. Heard about it from Jim, suggesting that we go over for Ala-carte buffet at the Novena branch for C.G.

Photobucket
Curry Beef Stew and the Crab Cream Croquette. Didnt like both. Ccc was too starchy.


Photobucket
Fried Shitake at $6.90 (or was it $8.90). Thickly-coated, and the shitake was too wet.


Photobucket
Giena and the shitake. She didnt like the sauce.


Photobucket
Giena and the curry rice. She didnt like it either.


Wouldnt go again. Get the $5 voucher from me if you're still keen to check it out.


Feeling adventurous but not in the mood to entertain anyone, I wandered about Tanjong Pagar alone last Sunday.

Used to work in Fuji Xeros Towers 2 years back, when I was still fresh graduate from Poly. I used to scamper away from that area during lunch hours just to avoid the PAs from the same company, felt that I couldnt mix around with them. But then again, I hardly had time for lunch back then, it was either munching sandwiches on cabs/bus or dashing down Raffles Place to meet Sandy Koh.


And during the later part of my job, met up for Pork Chop Rice at Maxwell with Wennie cos she was studying private somewhere nearby. We used to meet at this corner of the road back then, happened to see Felicia Chin on shoot one fine day.......

A walk to Ann Siang Hill. Its a peaceful, quiet Sunday late afternoon.

The Ann Siang Hill I pictured was something like Haji Lane. Explained the disappointment. Its just a road lined with all my clients-to-be.


And the only shop that interests me was closed.

Going to meet up Dengli to biatch now. Tata.

What I wore last week:
Photobucket
.Logo print tank(Funkdeco)
.Blue hankerchief dress (HK)
.Clinched belf (FarEast)

Sometimes I wished I have a lover thats already dead. It would save me alot of explanations....to explain why I'm still in the office at this hour. To explain why I'm still alone. To explain....many things. Scary thought isnt it. Scary but romantic.

So me.

Its Eileen's birthday today! Everybody wish her happie happie birthday yeah *v*

I'm half dead but I want to blog this before I step out of office.


Today marks the memorable anniversary of my worklife in I Models. And in no time, my contract will be expired soon. It seems like a very long journey.

From the old office at Park Mall to the fantastic Soho1 at Clarke Quay.

From the all-girls team to Jerry and Mun and back to us again. Girls rules! (Remind me to blog about a work incident that proof this point)

From 58 kilos to 43 kilos.
Okay i exagerated. So what!!?

From referring myself as Bon to referring myself as Bonita. A name that I dislike others to call me by.



My mum has been counting down the days since the day I started working here. Two years straight, asking me to quit everyday, and here I am still. There has been times when all I wanted to do is to storm out of the office, hop on a cab and head home to bed, never to come back again. It had never happened.

I've lost control of my emotions once, early last year, a period that I would never want to go through again. Sitting infront of my computer, doing nothing but cry. Cant work, cant pick up calls, cant attend to emails, cant think, but cry. It was the day to decide whether should I just throw my resignation letter and leave.

And thanks to Lin and Wennie's words, I'm still here.

To go through the joy of the first SFF callsheet, the first batch of international models, staying back in office for crazy hang-arounds, get to know people around the world and to work in a work that I, deep inside, love and hate.

Its not that bad afterall. Isnt it? *v*

Attitude.

The attitude I receive from icantsaywho really fires me up. Speaking bad behind somebody's back will make me look ugly, turn ugly and be ugly but advice that I got was that --- is it really necessary / good to confront?


I wonder.

I think so.

There's a need for icantsaywho to know my stand, it has been creating alot of upsets and inconvenience. But then again.....there's so many "but then again"s.




I just stole a glance....the mirror reflected a really ugly me.

What I wore today:

Photobucket
.Black spag-strap (Topshop)
.Pants(HK)
.Black wool jacket (O2)
.Black scarf (Arab street....for 3 dollars can you believe it?)


Stressed. Cant sleep. That kinda of period is coming back....all because of one single project that has been driving us crazy. I have no problem about working OT but its really frustrating when you work with a very un-organized team.

The after effects of this job is - gaining weight and risk offending good talents. Please make it worthwhile and may nothing crops up tml. ALAHHHHHH!

Went over to Haji Lane with Kimmy, hell overpriced, their clothes! The vintage dresses are ranging from $80 onwards. It dont look like one-of-a-kind pieces. I'm rather disappointed, given the ratings and all I was expecting something more than that.

Like the concept of the area though, very street shopping. Fed up with air-conditioned shopping centres, packed with people and packed with same stores everywhere.

C.g later, see everyone!

What I wore today:

Photobucket
.White tee(HK)
.Vest (Iloveeverything)
.Floral slacks (HK)


Back in office for awhile to send files to client, I think its high time I get a laptop and an internet connection at home. Ninety-third time that I mentioned this. Urgh.

I'm quite excited about the way fashion is progressing in Singapore. Years back when I just came, it was This Fashion monopolizing the entire teenage girl market. Then Jynco and whats that Ah beng tee shirt brand............NO RULEZ or something? 77th street used to be worst than now, if its not bad enough already.

What I wanted to talk about is Uniqlo. Don't yawn!

Their famous skinny jeans, at the price of $69.90, is a must-buy --- as mentioned on many many many maaaaannnnyy magazines. I'm not really interested in their basics(okay besides the jeans...its so cheap!)....no matter how many colours they have, thank you. I might eat my words 2 years down the road when I'm step into the mature line, but seriously, basics are just basics, what's so fascinating about it?

And excuse me, minimalism and basics are two different thing, PLEASE. I had a heated arguement with somebody recently with regards to this...its a fulstop to that conversation already cos we almost resulted to pulling each others hair, ahem. I'll say Muji lies somewhere in between SOMETIMES but hello, GAP is not minimalism you idiot!

Okay fulstop. Shusssshh!

Being stressed up by one crazy project, its ~ taking ~ my~ breath~ away. Lin is going to Taipei for Namie's concert in June, I'm dying to go with her ----- I think I need a break. But then again, its time to work on Events again...and F1 is coming...and the ticket is SGD$225. I dont even dare to think about the cost on the air tickets and hotel stay.


I've been thinking about this guy alot recently. Havent been blogging much about this kinda relationships thingy cos I duno who's reading....but now I'm SURE that he's not a follower of this site, ahem, I've got plenty to say!










I'll talk about it another day.

Ha.
