[8:47 PM]
anyhow... about the GQ workshop last friday... it was practically a modeling workshop lah. they taught us all the what nots of the modeling world... even the style of walking... it was kinda hilarious. but of course i didn't go to the workshop to actually apply for a modeling career. gosh. i went to expose myself to the modeling side of the world of fashion. i might know stuff about designing but i know nuts about modeling. so hmm i didn't mind when it turned out to be totally about modeling even though nothing about it is applicable to me. if you know what i mean... lol. so i went with pretty roseline, who fortunately turned out to be someone very interested in modeling. i wanted to ask fauzi because i thought maybe he has what it takes to be a model but oh well... i didn't meet him the whole of friday not until when i was rushing home from school and i don't know him that well either. it would be pretty awkward for me to ask him. (we shall deal with detention a little later!) what should i say about the workshop itself? urm... nothing much? really. it wasn't anything big. they taught us about poise and stuff. and how you ought to walk like a guy if you are biologically a guy and like a girl if you are biologically a girl. which i think was pretty ironic because the one who taught us was urm a kinda lembut guy... you know the kinda guy who choreographs catwalks and stuff; one glance and you know he's a gay that kinda guy. yeah. which reminds me of the gay diva catwalk instuctor in america's next top model. wtf! lol. so yeah that was pretty much what we had... of course not forgetting the talk from the founder of carrie modeling agency, urging us youth to go for it while we are still beautiful blah blah blah... i know she does modeling and not fashion designing but i asked her about fashion designing anyway. personally mind you. not during the Q&A session. and her response was no we don't handle fashion designing (which was pretty obvious) but we do have fashion styling courses. and that made me went oh noooo... styling?! me?! gimme a break. you know what she's referring to here? those make up artist kinda thing lah... which i think is too feminine. urgh. and she actually mentioned that guys who take up their modeling course would be given a make up kit and i actually let out a little giggle and those around me gave me weird expressions on their faces. i couldn't help it for crying out loud! can you imagine a guy keeping a make up kit in his drawers? my goodness! but i think in order to be a model you do have to know how to put on make up on your own right sooo... oh God i have nothing to say about this... nuts!
on that same day... i had freaking detention! dammit lah. i thought i wanted to keep my record of not ever having detention in my school days but MI just had to ruin it. true that was my first ever detention session. and i'm proud of it. i have always been a good boy okay! prolly more of the boot licking sweet talking kind. but who cares... i always manage to escape =D not this time... and it was all because i was late for school once. ONCE! freaking hell... pre-U 1s have to serve detention even if they are late once because well according to the school, we don't do other services for the school like cca etc so we don't deserve easy exemption unlike the permanent students there. fuck sia! so yeah detention. and their definition of detention is not sit down do your own work... nooo... their definition of detention is to clean up the school compound. sweep the school area... pick up litters... and if you are unlucky, they can actually ask you to wash the toilet. they are just freaking annoying aren't they? bloody hell... so for detention we were assigned to different levels of the classroom blocks and we were to choose a classroom to clean up. maximum of 4 people per classroom. it was so stupid. the classes were practically clean there was nothing much to do. except to wipe the windows and tables. i couldn't be bothered so i just walked around the class with a broom and a dustpan pretending to be sweeping the dustless floor and then took a cloth to wipe the wet tables and window panes dry. and the detention started freakingly late so instead of dismissing us at 4pm, they dismissed us at 4.30pm. and we still had to queue to get our name checked and all in all we were only able to leave school at 5pm. idiotic morons. i had to grab a cab and rush home to make it for the workshop in time. but detention wasn't too bad actually. maybe i would want to go for it again. yeah right!
sooo... sylvia's course out. celia's and david's course filled. which leaves me with thomas's course. which won't be anytime near. sigh. i need the course now! dammit. should have applied for them earlier. anyhow, my new mates have been asking me out for pool and stuff but i kept on declining their invitation. and i didn't want to lie so i had to tell them about the competition, having to get ready for it and all. so let me officially declare this to all to make it easy for me. i'm joining a designing competition which i have little confidence of winning at all because there are like a million entries (almost, maybe) and my competitiors are like prolly experts schooling in la salle or napfa or something. nevertheless win or not, i have to put my best into it. well at least if my design got chosen for display i can get some cash prize, which of course is what everyone is looking forward for. but i'm having a hard time right now juggling with school and this. and i'm in need of money for the expenses. sighhh... of course whenever i need help, Allah will always be there for me =) we human beings all need Him don't we. we are just purely powerless. yeah.
oh kay i gotta go. good stuff to catch on tv! oh God tv's been history man since school started... lol! ciao!
