My first job which allow me to openly get phone numbers from pretty boys and girls in the streets. It sounds fun.....at first...only.
Yeah. I am the so called Talent Scouter...one of the many you will bump into in Orc mrt or outside Hereens these days. We approach many more girls than guys on average. As long as you look acceptable, wear trendy, dun walk too fast, we most likely will come say hi to you.
High turn over rate in this job. Tiring. Imagine begging phone numbers every minute of the day. You think it's easy? Go do this for a few days and you will know how tedious it is. There is quota to be reached. Quantity is more impt than quality. We just want phone numbers! Whether you really can becum a model or not we don't care! We are just that desperate!
But for me, I try my best to pick good ones unlike my colleague who get phone numbers from any Tom, Dick or Harry until my supervisor question her abt her taste. hahzz. She got a long list of numbers lor...while me always need help from my supervisor to reach my quota cos i hesitate too much, too picky.
My opening line: "Hello. I am from XX model agency (show name card)...How old are you first?.... I am looking for young and pretty faces for TV commercial and fashion magazine..I find you rather unique/sweet lking. Can I have your contact number?" (holding pen ready to jot her name)
Of cos most ppl will be too shocked to react...and you will haf to talk more to convince her into giving you her number.
Some of the more vivid encounters/responses:
Most common reaction: (talk to my hand) / "I have been approached already." /"Not interested, I don't believe in this."
Most displeased reaction: (with the I-know-it expression and purposely let you finish your lines and den say) " I have took the portfolio....they are trash photos..." (and walked away angrily)
Most shocked reaction: (with mouth open, wide eyes) "What? me? hahaaaa...your company will go bankrupt if you hire me. hahahz"
Most unexpected reaction: " Why don't you talent scout yourself? You look quite sweet what. Are you under them alreadi? Why not? ohh...you prefer scouting for models instead huh...where you schooling now? " (smart siaz....throw back qns at me....divert attention...waste my time...in the end decline to give me number..kaoz )
Most surprising encounter: My colleague holding on to Olinda (from Sg idol) and shouted to me to come look at her!! She is ssssoooooo slim now manz. I was so excited to see her. My colleague then demanded extra bonus for getting her number, her agency's number that is...haz.
Most polite reaction: "ohh..i am reali sorry....I have no interest to becum a model at all. I feel bad rejecting you...but thanks for your effort anyway...." (v decent proper lking chap)
Most straightfwd reaction: " How much are you paid for getting a number on your list?"/ "You have a quota to reach issit? I give you mine to help you larh."
Most fearful reaction: (Looking at BF for approval, looking at me timidly) I have to explain to her that I will not force her to come down for interview if she really not free...(BF still shaking his head) It was only after some persuasion/reassurance from me, she den obligingly give me her number. Poor girl....evil me...
Most very good looking ones are already models. What's left over is mostly average looking ppl whom I feel bad abt wasting their time to go down for interviews to be talked into taking portfolios which most certainly will not give them any assignments, given the fact that the agency wld rather choose their models at hand for casting. But there are still some undiscovered ones whom I think have at least the minimum potential but arent yet a model! Well...The next new top model may just be the one scouted by me!
So far, there are only a few very good looking guys whom I have come across that can make me literally run and tap their shoulders to ask them for phone numbers. So tempted to store them in my own phone book as well...haha...kidding larh. But too often, they are alreadi models or have been approached before. Sianz....
Yeah I am quitting this job soon. Enough exposure gained from such a job. I don't look fwd to begging for numbers everyday manz. This has to stop.

"The Lumbong trekking trip"
Some sentiments to share on this challenging and enjoyable experience and for others to have an idea what this trekking trip is abt.
My impression of trekking is totally transformed after this trip. Now then I realized that trekking consists of some mountain climbing and not plainly just walking through the forest! The first vertical rocks that we came across totally freak me out. To be honest, I can feel warm waters starting to circle in my eyes when I first witness the daunting task before me. It was like one of my fear factors staring right at me! My first thought is that I really cannot do it but I know that there is no turning back and you just got to climb up to continue the trek no matter what! No one can help you climb one! With significantly faster heartbeat and feeble legs, my every step taken is with full alertness and consciouness cos I really scared of falling off the cliff! Luckily with some guidance from the leaders and observation of others before me, I managed through safely. It was then I realized that fears can actually be overcome if you put your mind and soul into overcoming it. This is one great lesson that I've learnt, personally.
Fear is then gradually mixed with feelings of excitement and challenge after we go through some more other tedious obstacles along the way. I became seeing the obstacles as more of a challenge than something fearful. Some parts are danergous but yet it is what make it the more thrilling. I myself was surprised by my mixed feelings. I was supposed to be scared but yet feeling excited at the same time!
The waterfalls are spectacular and cooling. Camp on summit. Refill water from streams. Self-designated toilet cubicles in the wiild. Raining on 2nd day.
Not going to write more as it will just get too descriptive and perhaps boring to read... So anything curious to know more abt such a trekking trip, jus ask me lar.
Having frens around helps. The thought that they are going through the same thing together with me is comforting to know. And if not for the guidance and helping hands of the leaders and frens around me, some obstacles would reali be extra hard for me to overcome. Thanks!
My poor techniques of climbing over the rocks have led me to having patches of blue-blacks on my legs! So no wearing of skirt for a few weeks (as if I often wear skirt). My super muscle aches are really terrible too. So don't jio me for any exercise for the time being, plssss. ;p

"Platonic frenship"
This term usually applies to friends of the oppt sex. It means a relationship that involves no sexual love. We always hear ppl 'debating' abt whether platonic frenship is really possible between a guy and a girl. There are even surveys that go around asking guys whether they have ever fantasize abt making intimate contact with their gal frens or not. You will be surprised by the high percentage of guys who confessed that they did!
A pretty fren of mine told me that it was difficult for her to make male frens after she is attached. Her previous male frens also drifted away from her. She felt lonelier than when she was unattached. Why should this happen? She really just want to establish a casual frenship with guys but guys want to know her for some other reasons.
Another fren claimed that she and a guy are just 'frens' when they actually do certain things that they shouldn't. Is such a frenship as pure/platonic as what it is supposed to be?
In many cases (of cos not all), it is often some initial attraction between a girl and a guy that pull them together as more than just normal frens. Subsequently when they bcum even closer frens, they will be subjected to teasing or questioning by the people around them. Such reactions from others seem to imply that ppl don't normally believe in platonic frenship between a guy and a girl. What do you think?
It's amazing that the mere biological differences between a guy and a girl can influence the nature of a frenship. I ever asked b4 a few of my frens whether they are conscious and aware of the gender of their frens when interacting with them or they treat frens in the same way, regardless of their gender. They told me that they are aware of the gender, which implies that the nature of the interaction will therefore in a way be influenced by this form of awareness. In simpler terms, they treat guy and girl frens differently. They have reservations when interacting with frens of the oppt sex maybe fear of misleading or wateva other reasons.
By right if people really do believe in platonic frenship, they should be less conscious of the gender of their frens. The fact that they are conscious of how they should interact with a particular gendered fren imply to me that a oppt-sex frenship just couldnt hold as much of the same level as a same-sex frenship.
My take is that platonic frenship between a guy and a girl is possible but it will inevitably takes on a different mode from a same-sex frenship simply due to the inherent gender differences in a guy and a girl.
So 3 cheers to platonic frenship!

"Labelling theory"
It is perhaps a natural tendency to label friends. But dun you find that when you start to label a fren, you will tend to have certain expectations out of him? If he fails to do so, you get upset/over-reacted.
Subconsciously I do label frens but consciously I refrain myself from doing so. By not labelling, I give frens the privilege to ignore me when they shldnt, do things that they are not supposed to, or not do certain things when they shld. [like not reading my blog when you shld! haha ] So if anything unpleasant were to happen, I suppose I can take it better. That's why I don't like to explicitly classify friends in my mind or to spell them out too clearly in words.
Well but come to speak of it, I seldom have any expectations of frens maybe cos I am not a very emotionally demanding person and also I don't like to give frens the pressure or obligations to do things for/with me. So, no strings attached. No pressure at all.
When I say I do label frens subconsciously, I know it by my level of willingness to help or to want to connect with them emotionally. A person's resources is limited. He can only partition them selectively to certain people. The selected people I believe wld be those he labelled differently from the rest, whether consciously or subconsciously.
The rules of reciprocity applies too. We often are only very willing to give when we know that the other party feels the same way. We also want others to acknowledge our committment in the frenship by having them reciprocate. This is perhaps why frens like to give/receive some form of 'reassurance' thru words/actions.

"Getting out of my comfort zone"
[note: pls read the previous post b4 this cos I wrote that first but post it tog with this post. go scroll down, dun be lazy lar]
I got a good news to share. I got selected in the interview for an overseas community project to thailand!! I was kinda happy to receive the confirmation on the phone. It's like a dream come true for me, one of my new year resolutions. Kinda but not extremely happy bcos Clara wun be embarking on the journey with me cos she cannot even attend the interview at all. She serves many functions to me so I def will feel less secure without her companion. But I hope she dun feel bad abt this whole thing as I def will share every bit of the trip with her when I come back. I promise.
In the interview, when they ask me whether I have any previous overseas community experience, I told them that I need to be given the chance to have the first experience so that I can have a "previous experience" to say of in any of my future endeavours. I also lament abt every job interviews always looking for previous experience and that is just so unfair. They acknowledge that by nodding their heads.
They also ask me whether I am an introvert or an extrovert and whether I have taken any leadership roles. I hate such stereotype qns as I know what answers they are looking for. I din't want to tell any lies so I just said that I should be considered an introvert but when circumstances needed me to be an entrovert, I will change accordingly. For leadership roles, I said that I am not a leader in CCAs as I am mostly a passive follower but when task is assigned to me, I will do it. One thing I should have added in my answer is that a team needs both leaders and followers. My role as a follower will complement the leaders' role. That would be a satisfactory statement isnt it...
AAll my enthusiasm was spoilt when I told my parents abt this good news. They commented that I go do community work still need to pay such an amt of money for it. I give them a shockingly exasperated look and rebuked that it's a standard price for such projects. My mum then said she was merely joking and asked why my temper always so bad. When I left the scene with no further desire to talk more abt it, I continue hearing my dad linking to my sis working at an arts sch yet earning no money from it. Then he even mentioned abt scams going around to cheat ppl's money. I din't feel like talking to them after that....
Their tone is actualli harmless I know that. They reali may just be joking. But I choose to take it v personally. I think they can sense that I am upset by their comments as they come up to me to ask me when I was going for the trip and say that they will be writing the cheque for me. I never bear grudges against my parents. Just allow me to be pissed for this moment. The next morning I will be fine. Whats more, it will be mother's day when I wake up later in the morn.
The issue here is money. I always feel that one needs to be financially independent to gain autonomy. As long as I am not working, I feel powerless in the family. I need to get money from them for anything. That explains why I am rather practical with the use of money cos the money used are not mine.
I have bought 4 new clothes recently. Alot of frens' bdaes are coming in this hols. I want to learn wakeboarding. I still hope to go travelling. I haven found a job.
I reali need to find one orelse I think I will get depression soon.
Holidays mean: You want to play but no money. You then work but ended up no time to play!
Still, I always feel that money can be earned back. I would still choose to spend money first then go earn it later. Earn money like a cow and you will end up no energy to play. (ok just say that I am lazy)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
think gotta train up myself for the trekking trip and the said-to-be physically demanding community project cos need to build water dams! oh dear.... i normally not an extremely sporty/active person...die....
but I am quite healthy one, seldom get sick leh....ok..choy....

"Friendboat issues"
I shall be writing on a few issues revolving friendship for the next few posts.
a) The functionalist perspective (so sociological rite...ha)
b) Labelling theory (another sociological concept)
c) Platonic friendship
d) Old vs new friends
[Note: the use of 'he' wld be adopted instead of 'he/she' in my posts for convenience and simplicity.]
a) I would like to start of with the functions of friends. Different friends serve different functions. U gain different level of satisfaction from the interaction with different friend. This is what bring two strangers together in the first place and having them to continue to keep in touch year after year. On top of that, friends bring out the different personalities in you. One may find himself behaving differently with different friends. Notice that with some friends, you have to be extra sensitive b4 saying anything, while with some others, you can more of speak out ur mind in the same way as he does ( reciprocity). With certain friends, you are more of a listener while with some others, you will talk more.
One thing that ultimately separate a good friend from a normal friend is probably that the former serve more functions than the latter. It is due to certain functions in that friend which cannot be replaced by any other friends that make him a good friend to you. Ultimately it's the satisfaction that u get from the friendship that defines its functional importance. Make sense?
(I think my soci tutor wld be so proud of me for making use of the functionalist perspective that I've learnt in sch.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today Stella and bf Ben ended up givin me some personal training on tennis after witnessing my atrocious play. haahaaz...... feel rather funny/paiseh when stella initiated ben to give me some personal training before we continue the game any further. wah so stressed...hahzz....imagine 2 of them on the other side of the court, me on my side with a "nice" pose getting ready for their throws. Not to forget a row of standing passengers on the mrt platform just opposite my view. so stressed. Aahhhaa...But I must say I realli did learnt something from them cos I never know my mistake until they pointed it out. All thanks to the lovely couple. (dun puke, stella)
A skill is so hard to learn than stuff in the books I have realized!! haaazz

Miscellaneous
Hellow everyone I am back in action after a long rest! ( maybe not if you hadnt been visiting my blog...bleah!)
Finally, all mental straining has come to an end and at last, my brain can now stop working for awhile. (yarh i only activate them during exam periods, that is. ) I have so many things and topics to blog but just couldnt find time to!
what a fast semester! My fav module of the sem is Making Sense of Society. (yeah yokie u predicted right, ultimately i reali do quite enjoy this module!) I like the lecturer Dr Tan! He is so funny, so natural, so likeable! My first time looking fwd to attending a lecture just to relax myself. One thing I like abt him is that he seeks to talk to student whenever he has the chance. I have been observing him from afar. He is a people person. All lecturers should be like him! It's a pity that I never get to talk to him b4 cos he is not my tutor.
I want to cut my hair short in this sem! My ponytail is looking more like a squirrel's tail. My hairline is receding. My fringe is gettin lesser. I am sick of the daily act of tying it up. And I have the habit of pulling my long hair to see how many strands I can pull out each time. Everything has a limit. Just one fine day, I am gonna kiss my oldest end of hair goodbye! Most likely, I will not look any better with short hair (if U had remembered how dreadfully I used to look like back in uniform days). But as long as I don't look monstrously ugly, I think am rather fine with it...(or so I hope) Hairs do grow back anyway, don't they?
Oh yar, I was too busy to have the chance to share a piece of good news with your! Look at this!
Read that! First runner up in a model contest! mai siao siao ! And yar, that's me winning the honour, don't doubt further lar, it's me !! Being short and not very slim still do get me somewhere ok!
Alright, it wasn't long b4 someone steal the honour away from me and added herself an additional award. That's her, grinning away with two awards. Greedy girl! humph! ;p
Ok cut off the crap..... this is then the real glmour queen among all the other contestants! (okok i know we dun look any alike in height, size or face! pls note genetic variations. )
Lastly quite looking fwd to feeding mosquitoes on the coming lumbong trip on the 20 and 21 may. So funny, the very first initial plan of only Clara and me going ended up got 8 ppl going in the end! If only everyone has known that its open to outside nus students much earlier, I think this group can end up even bigger. It's an unexpected twist but a pleasant one. The more, the merrier!

Ok cut off the crap..... this is then the real glmour queen among all the other contestants! (okok i know we dun look any alike in height, size or face! pls note genetic variations. )
Lastly quite looking fwd to feeding mosquitoes on the coming lumbong trip on the 20 and 21 may. So funny, the very first initial plan of only Clara and me going ended up got 8 ppl going in the end! If only everyone has known that its open to outside nus students much earlier, I think this group can end up even bigger. It's an unexpected twist but a pleasant one. The more, the merrier!
