Rainbow marble cake : this i made in collaboration wif my mum

That will be all there is to my Hari Raya Haji, wif the customary chaperons; maybe chicken kurma or chicken rendang and briyani. Tho theres nothing much really other than the savours, still that makes me a jubilant one :)

This next installment will spell of how unscrupulous shenanigans can wring your biggy big pockets dry out of the downtrodden, literally.

Application form read : We will be responsible for looking for clients for our
models.

Guy : Btw, we are different from those agencies in HDB who are
more often than not are in desperate need for models, thus, they will scout desperately for models without any projects at hand. For us, we liaise wif considerably large corporations who will book us for projects and then scout for new faces or take on available existing models.

Me to myself : Ahuhh. So much for calling other agencies desperate. Urs aint any better. What was all the "Our agency is looking for faces to be in Singtel's upcoming commercial" about when nothin bt it was even mentioned during the introductory rite of theirs or watevr. Reeks of desperado mucho to moi, using that tactic as a booby trap.

And here i am foolhardy to think that they picked us out of simple random selection on that morning at fine and dandy orchard rd and i'll get to be one of those everyday faces in a colossal montage of Singaporeans who subscribe to Singtel (tho ironically im not) as concession to a less soporific holiday.

From this holiday so dreary that i could just peel my skin ( u noe skin that gets soaked in water and swells a whitish fold, oooh i love to peel em') sore and dry, like plucking fur off a Persian cat?

So dreary that i could just walk the length of Orchard Road wif a getup which looked like i just rammed into a Roman candle. LOL check out this linkie kali babas : http://www.asylum.com/gallery/the-weirdest-victorias-secret-outfits-we-found/521620/

and count all those whose heads spin wif jawgaping disbelief. Yea im highstrung. Hah.

Guy : you noe both of you have one thing in common. u noe wat?

me and fren : err. No.

Guy : You are both young. Clients prefer young faces. So after all that, dun u want to noe how much u'll have to pay for the portfolio? (there were other bouts he was tellin us bt they just trailed off into a lull voice in my cerebral at tt point)

me and fren : *we gave the wth look at each other*

fren : so.....what now we have to pay this lump sum of 680 for 5 outfits photography like now itself?...

Guy : you may bt i understand ur students and wun be able to pay now but u can cash in deposit or alternatively u can pay the full amt another day bt im afraid by then our ready clients will not be looking for models anymore.

me : * here- he- goes-yada-yada-subdued interest look*

Guy : you can also look at 3 outfits which will go at 480 buckeroos.

fren : ok watevr it is i can only confirm in 2 wks time

me : for me tt amount will only be attainable like by end jan 2009? (in my hart, yae as if, you can bid ur 480 buckeroos bon voyage...rather splurge it on an ipod)

soon, we treaded out of the agency.

The punchline is anyone can be models these days esp wif those bulging faux leather wallets to boot. This industry in Singapore as i see it is deluded. U dun pay 480 buckeroos to clinch a bank job do you? so why does tis has to be any different? Just for tt effing portfolio that they will do up nice nice sui sui for you. Little tt u noe u might look worse than you already are. what if they make you look like this mentel gundu here? HAHA

or even if you dont, what are the odds of even appearing as endearing to these clients so that they will partake you for their projects? and get future projects? you wouldnt wana stop at one.

If thats the case, forking 480 as investment (as the guy puts it) will make for loss on our side. Its not like i blardy care but wat abt those passionate and hard-up for modeling?

I mean cant these people just cover the costs of creating our portfolios and then just reap their due and deserved amt from the projects itself? Since its ur responsibility to find clients for every face then it shudnt be a problem for them to keep projects and moolah coming rite? As in it will be of duty for them to find the means possible in their stride to keep them coming? As of now watever this agency and all those in the cahoots are doing seem like they are just falling on the game of heads-and-tail of which of those whose entrance will send blue and orange notes whizzing in their faces.

just my fifteen cents worth not trying to rough people up the wrong way but blogging is just the economy of speaking my mind for me :)

PEACE.
