Last Wednesday,
while the bunch of SIM mates and I were strolling along Bugis,
a strange guy ran up to us.

He claimed that my friend and I just walked past his manager
and we caught her eye.
She is thus really interested in talking to us.
He gave us her name card, told us to check out the webby (uanworld.com)
and asked for our no.,
claimin that said manager would love to contact us to arrange for an interview
and hastened off in a rush.

Stunned, babelicious fren and I gave our no.s and obediently checked out the webby.

It's been a long long time since this Aunty here was given an ego boost.
Maybe it's karma,
but it was eons ago since I was last approached/ hit on by males/females.
So naturally I was excited.

It came as a relief,
more than anything else.
It feels good to know that
my hair is not tt cheena-fied afterall.
And even if I looked like a cheena-kia,
at least I am an attractive one OKAY!!

So today,
babelicious friend and I headed down to the office for the interview.
The manager was really really really nice.
She told us how the company worked,
that for every assignment that we take on,
they'd take a 25% cut.
They even showed us their artistes who later joined mediacorp.
Famous ones like Jeanette Aw, Dawn Yeoh, Rosalinda Pho, etc etc.

It was really impressive.

What was even more impressive was the conversation that went on among the group beside us.
Apparently,
there's this bunch of si gin nas,
one of whom was approached by another agent,
who brought with her an entourage of girlfrens,
whom I believed,
were all hoping to be signed on.
(unfortunately, only THAT girl was given the application form)

Call me bitchy,
call me a psychologically unbalanced,
over-aged,
jealous ah lian
but,
kanasai!!
Their skirts are micro mini,
and their faces macham wayang sia!!!!!
Even Lao Niang doesn't slather on THAT much make-up when vanity creeps up on me.

Someone has to educate them on how bad too much make-up is for their skin.

So anyway,
I think the agent was pretty irritated by the bunch of kids so she asked the girl,

"How do you see urself fitting into UAN?"

"Oh, actually I'm quite interested in trying out modelling"

"Models have to be tall. You're still young, maybe u can take up skipping 1st?"

Si Gin Nas will be Si Gin Nas.

For those of you who are interested to know how our interview went,
basically,
she complemented on the uniqueness of babelicious fren's looks,
asked her if she was Peranakan,
and was all but drooling over her.

In contrast,
she told me that my features are very unmistakably Asian
(read: ordinary)
And then she asked if it ever crossed my mind to get braces done,
" U noe, ur complexion is rly gd, n if u get braces, u'll look even more presentable"

Even more presentable...

Gr8.

I guess I don't have to elaborate anymore huh?

Maybe when we walked past her the 1st time,
we sped by u see,
and she didn't spot the Dracula tooth on me,
nor my small beady eyes....

maybe she just needs specs.

*smiles sweetly*

After the interview
(FYI, I was still offered a place, it's just tt Babelicious fren and I do not have com cards, n we didn't wanna incur such capital expenses.....)
and the shattering of a potential career,
we loitered ard in search of ourselves,
and our future goals in life.

And we ended back in Bugis.

Sitting our butts down at TCC,
I have finally found the direction that my life's meant to take.
At 21 + yrs of life,
I have finally come to realise what I really really really would love to be.



TAI TAI

This is no joke ok?
Babelicious fren and I were really serious abt it.
We even came up with potential candidates like the boss of TCC,
or his son.
And we even came up with a plan on how to go abt splitting his fortune and branches.

Like I said,
we were DEAD SERIOUS.

I was also dead serious abt alot of things,
such as emulating my fave blogger.



And I tell u,
the way she takes pictures is no joke k!!
Tough work!!
U will never know until u try.
U'll end up with dozens and dozens of failed pics.
and when u finally succeed,
I tell u,
the gratification is like

CATHARSIS

*sigh

Try it if u don't believe me.

So the beautiful Tuesday afternoon was spent with my babelicious fren,
Ms Bimbo Chen.



It is amazing how we've known each other since secondary 3,
yet never really knew each other at all.

I used to ask my JC mates this question,
during the days when insecurities got the better of me.

Do you think the reason we stuck together as a clique was bcos we don't rly have a choice?

I used to think that it is circumstances that forced people together.
And I'm glad to find out that
it is really not so.

Circumstances,
They merely give people the opportunity to know one another
better.
