I quote my first post of 2011: "My resolution for 2011, is to finish learning pet grooming and GET A JOB I LOVE."
Well, I realised that if I continue learning pet grooming without an income, my bank account is going to run dry so that's on hold as of now. Moving on to the job, I still haven't found one, much less one I LOVE. Finding a job in itself, is difficult (as I've now come to realise). I've been modeling for 8 long years... I had all the choice in the world to take up this job or drop that one, and earn an amount of money that I wouldn't ever dream of earning in 9-5 (for example). It was free and easy for so long. I survived on my looks for 8 years, had a lot of fun and took advantage of all the perks that came my way. But now, as I like to say it, it's time to "go back to being a civilian". Recently, I missed 4 events in a row - License2Play, Formula Drift, PC Show and CommunicAsia. It wasn't that I didn't want to work. It was just that none of these jobs came my way, and I didn't know they were going on until it happened. But of course, it was too late by then. I won't ever know the exact reason why, but it's just as well, because if I keep getting modeling jobs but sparsely, then I won't ever move on. I would keep thinking, "Omg, the money is there. I have to go back." But what I really want right now, is a stable income.
And that is also why this is my first time signing up with a recruitment agency or 2. I asked several friends for their résumés to copy, picked the best one and followed suit. I felt proud of myself for even being able to pull together a résumé of my own, even if it was just 1.5 pages long with a Size 10 font, especially more so considering that a large part of it was modeling. Luckily there were a few other full-time jobs in there. A lot of people seem to think modeling is not a job, so it doesn't count in a résumé. But to be able to mingle, usher guests, promote products at events and sometimes even do sales - doesn't that encompass the same job scope as some other jobs might require? I would still want to include that experience in there, no matter what some other people might think.
I say it's hard to get a job, because I really believe in the saying, "Find a job you love and you'd never have to work a day in your life." Some people don't agree, and they say, "No, you find a job and learn to love it." When I look at all these office jobs on Jobstreet, I get nauseous imagining myself doing one of those things. Not saying an office job is bad, but I've simply just grown so accustomed to my modeling. Yet for me, when the need arises, I am realistic enough to realise that beggars can't be choosers. Whether I have certain paper qualifications or not, doesn't matter to me either way. I have met people who wave their degrees in your face and mock, and it amuses me a lot because it only shows me that all a degree taught them to be is to be CHILDISH. Then what's the point of a stupid piece of paper now, when your brains are still stuck in the initial stages of childhood? =.= Might as well use that piece of paper and wipe your backside after shitting, then eat it to feed your "very-smart" brains. It's hard to find a job I love, and now I realise it's gonna take a lot of time. It's gonna take a lot of time to find a job, period. Doesn't matter if I love it or not. Partly because I don't want to just settle for any job that comes my way; I see no point in taking it on just to quit a couple of months later and move on to another and do the same thing. If it reflects in my résumé, it's gonna reflect to future employers that I am flaky. But for now, I really just gotta suck it up and tell myself that it's not that bad.
I just came back from an interview earlier, through a recruitment agency. The job I applied for was an office one, 9am-6pm. But they recommended me to try out for high-end boutique retail sales. It got me thinking why, since the previous recruitment agency I visited said the exact same thing. Previously I went for an admin assistant interview but I didn't get shortlisted for that one. The consultant told me this, "Do you know why you didn't get the admin assistant job you previously went for? Because why would they choose to put you in the back when they can put you in the front? You don't fit in!" Part of me agreed with him in the confidence department, because I picked admin jobs on purpose so I could hide inside. By the time I arrived home though, I felt lousy enough. I kept thinking about what the consultant said, "You don't fit in." It made me wonder, "What if I freakin' wanna do an admin job, full-stop? Does that mean I won't ever find one, because I don't, and won't, fit in? Does that mean I'd be jobless all the way and have no choice but to pick up the retail sales suggestion?" He made it sound like people who did admin jobs have to look hideous. I don't know why looks matter... Do they? I don't know if I've shared this before, but when I was fresh out of secondary school, I was giving tuition to primary school kids. I was tutoring this particular kid then, and I hadn't even gone through 3 lessons with him when the agency called to tell me that the mum decided to terminate my services because she "don't want so pretty one". I got upset, because I felt it was ridiculous that she judged me for my looks without even giving me time to see if I could teach her son. And I truly believe that she really told the agency that, because from Day One, I'd only liaised with the agency through phone and had never even sent them my picture. They couldn't possibly have known how I looked like to pass a remark like that. The first day I showed up at the kid's home, the mum grabbed the keys to open the gate for me and said, "Are tuition teachers this pretty these days?" I had absolutely NO answer to her weird question. When I was working at the vet clinic, some customers gossiped with my supervisor about me applying makeup to work. Maybe again, "I didn't fit in" then. And another customer asked me what I was doing there, why wasn't I acting in Mediacorp or something. Entertainment industry, lady? What made you think I never tried? I did, and then I decided to move on to get a stable job and there you are telling me to go back to it. I don't know where the hell I actually DO fit in. HAHA. It's really funny... and quite a pain in the ass sometimes.
When my boyfriend called earlier, I finally had a good cry as I told him everything that happened today. He spoke to me about it, and told me not to worry too much. Felt a lot better after that. I'm grateful that in times like these, at least I still have my boyfriend's shoulder to cry on. Recently I came across a whole chunk of bitching from a friend of mine (no longer one, obviously!), about me. She was bitching that my relationship wouldn't work out. I was purely disgusted with her judgmental behaviour, and felt stupid about myself because I actually thought she was nice. Yuck. Hey, I judge too, sometimes. It's inevitable. BUT I don't judge and yet pretend to be all Christian and saint-like and holy. I know every relationship will have its ups and downs, but be careful who you tell your woes to. I've learnt my lesson. I don't confide, only to have it thrown back in my face. All this while, she's been going to church, acting every bit the good Christian. I wonder when the Bible or church taught one to judge. Seriously low-blow. God, I am so disgusted!!! At least I am not a single mum with a kid whose dad ran away. One less problem to worry about over there for myself. Guess she's gotta count herself lucky that she's still wanted with a kid in tow. *shrugs* "I gave birth to him because I tell myself that, if no man will love me in future, at least my son will." LOL. Jaded or jaded. Or jaded. But it's okay, 'cos you know why? It's people like these that make me wanna work harder to prove them wrong. Continue to shake your head at me, I don't care. You have enough to worry about on your own. Like feeding your poor, fatherless son. Keep telling yourself you're amazing and you can do all things for your son through Christ who strengthens you. LOL! Not bad right!! I also can quote the Bible!! HAHA! But at the end of the day, the boy still has no dad. So.......................................................
2011 hasn't been my year so far, and half of it has already passed. Too many jinxes in the form of ugly ex-girlfriends and their best friends who cannot move on (really, no matter what they say, I just know it AND they know it too. ^_^), my own friends I thought were friends, the slow process in finding a job etc. And not to mention Gucci's death. I didn't earn enough to give him a fantastic life... I was too attached to him to go out and look for one because spending time with him was more important to me than anything, especially when I knew he was old and sick. I still don't regret my choice in sticking to him physically, but I will make it all up for my dearest beloved dog. It's never too late. I know I tend to be negative a lot of the time, especially when it comes to new environments. I'm afraid of new environments. What A said to me is true though: "We're born to be afraid of new environments. That is why we cry when we come out of our mother's womb. It's survival instinct." So in order to survive, I HAVE to be in a new environment and learn and grow. Not much choice there, huh? I just wanna be happy. For now, I don't ask for a lot. I just want to have enough to pay my bills, stick out my hand to flag a cab without having to think if I can afford it and if I should take the train instead, walk into New York New York or Sakae Sushi and order whatever I want without looking at the price, and give a donation every month to an animal shelter. And also help my mum with Cookie's boarding fees, which seem to get steeper by the month. Modeling, although lucrative and is the only career I'd ever known, doesn't pay me a stable income. I can't be bothered with people who try and get in my way. I've never met such losers in my life... Like everything I do or say is about them. Don't flatter yourselves, darlings. I know you love me either way and you can't get enough, but please. Know your limit and watch where you're going because if you slam into me, I'm going to punch you so hard, you'd fly all the way to Timbuktu and never come back. If you think for even one millisecond that I'm gonna let you hinder my money-making progress, you're again, soooo wrong about that. Just like you're wrong about everything else. Oh well, the average person reading this would think I'm blabbering away, but the guilty one... You know who you are. =) Like the boyfriend said, I should channel my energy into something way more important, like making money. Money to throw in your face so maybe then, you can buy a REAL Chanel bag. HAHAHA. I actually really burst out laughing at this part. So funny.
Pathetic beings aside, I've actually been bumming around for way too long... Long enough to be negative about many things in my life and thinking I cannot do this/that. But now I need to tell myself, I CAN! I need to apply the driving force that lame-ass people give me to prove them wrong, and prove to myself this time round that I'm able in the job department.
Watch me, baybeh.
*P.S: Edited 1st July 2011 - I FOUND A JOB!!! WAHAHAHAHA. Admin assistant in the sales department of a big company. ;) Monday is my first day~ LOL. So much for ranting. I'm such a worry-wart! Proven!! HAHA! Anyway, wish me luck!! ^_^V

SG Bag Rental
Advertorial
In this day and age, it's very hard to find people who are not brand-conscious. I don't own any high-end branded bags except for my LV Neverfull, and even that was a gift. I haven't exactly saved up enough to buy one for myself yet. Hmm... Actually, I have! But I spent it on a holiday to LA instead. Haha. I like brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes and Balenciaga, but actually owning one of my own that is bought with my own hard-earned cash, hasn't happened. NOT YET! Looking at pictures shall suffice for now!!! LOL!:
Yet having said that, no matter how much I like them, I still REFUSE to carry "inspired" bags because it's just cheapskate and atrociously embarrassing. *facepalm* And here's when SG Bag Rental comes in handy!!!

Aloha. Just dropping by to say my issue of Stuff magazine is finally out. This is the cover:
The insert in the contents page:
And the article itself:
I don't think I remembered to upload this, but this was shot last year in the Stuff Gadget Girl column:
If you think it's easy "lounging" on a Harley, think again. My legs were trembling after some time. Good exercise! However, the pictures completely did NOT turn out as well as I expected. Damage control. -.- The laptop pic is hideous, followed by the side-view pic on the Harley. Maybe I have high expectations of myself; I always do. Doesn't help that I'm a Virgo, huh. Perfectionist to the maximum. =/ It's also at times like these that the love-hate feelings for my bangs come up. Don't know if I prefer to have them or not. It's a pain! In! The! Arse! URGH. I absolutely LOVED the accessories they put on me though. I think majority of them (if not all) are from Thomas Sabo. I did a Google search for the ring they let me wear on the cover page 'cos it was my favourite!!!!!:
Seriously not cheap. It states €259 on the website. (T_T) Glad to have had this opportunity, though I don't think I would be doing any more shoots at all now. It doesn't matter if you love me or hate me (or both)... My face will be what you see whenever you walk into any place that sells magazines. For a good whole month. BWAHAHHAHAHA. So, HELLO to the lovers and SUCK IT to the haters. Go on, walk into a store and see my face and scream, "BITCH!!!!" Make sure I hear you, because if not it'd be redundant. HAHA. You know who you are. ^_________^
My New Year resolutions was to find a job I love (or a JOB, period), and I said I would slowly ease away from modeling, but then I end up on a magazine cover all the same. LOL. Half the year is already gone! Procrastinating all the way, man. Then again, they said procrastinators are the leaders of tomorrow, right!!! HAHA. Life sucks that way. Off to send more resumes! xx
Every single time I go to New York New York, Frank Sinatra's song just pops up inside my head. I LOVE this song! =D:
Of course, the latest song related to New York as far as I know, is Alicia Keys' and Jay-Z's. And yes, I love that song too, haha:
New York New York has gotta be one of my favourite restaurants to dine in. All those New Yorker prints on the wall, the cosy booths and the food. Boyfriend brought me last week! ;) Been some time since I've last been there. I had their seafood vongole in cream sauce and baked mussels - what an aphrodisiac!:
Mussels are yummeh. My boyfriend is equally yummeh for me. Heehee:
We went to buy movie tickets for Insidious at Marina Square after dinner. And as I was walking, I passed by a poster that said Barney was in town. Immediately, I checked the showtimes and then my Blackberry. Showtimes were 1, 4 and 7pm. My Blackberry said 6:52pm. LOL. So, of course I stayed to watch!! It was a short performance, though. Only 15 minutes, I guess? Took a few pictures!:
Eh, if you can't have the real thing ('cos you need to spend a minimum of $XX in a single receipt to redeem a photo pass or something), then at least you have the gigantic poster. HAHA:
I love Barney. Brings so much happiness to me because of childhood memories. I knowwww, I am WEIRD that way. The boyfriend was like, "Next time I know what to do to get you to dance: play Barney songs." =.=
Insidious freaked me out. I DON'T LIKE THE RED DEVIL'S FACE. It's actually quite an eerie show, in that evil sort of way. The only horror movies I like (that aren't actually cheesy to me) are The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, Paranormal Activity and now, Insidious. I've never, ever screamed in a movie theatre before. NEVER EVER. But watching Insidious, it was my first time. (T_T) Yeah, I screamed. It was out of my mouth before I could even help myself. Quite funny if you think about it, but quite embarrassing too... LOL. Here's the trailer - I'm not going to watch it again because of that devil's face:
I don't know what is wrong with me lately, but I recently read this compilation book of true-crime stories and I've started getting all paranoid that whatever happened to the victims in those real-life stories, is going to happen to me. The other day I was just walking back home alone in a dark area and I was so scared, I stumbled over my. Own. Feet. -____-"' How lame!!!!
It's going to be a very boring half of June from now, and beyond. Started sending my resume to a few jobs. First time writing a resume!!! HAHAHA! It only took up 1.5 pages with a Size 10 font. -.- But hey, I never had to write a resume before because you don't need one for modeling, which I've been doing since I was out of school, so yeah. I had fun writing it, though. It's so neat and nice and detailed!!! HEHEHE. I love it like that. =D Hopefully it'll help. Haha. Wish me luck! x

It's a little extra moolah in your pocket that way! =) For sellers who want to sell their bags faster using a more prominent method, you can opt for paid options!
SG Bag Rental also gives you the ability to add bags to your favourites' list so you can find them easily!:

And if there is a particular seller you favour and/or are comfortable dealing with, you can add him/her to your favourites' list too!:

It'd be easier to navigate around to find what you want, and you can also be alerted whenever your favourite seller(s) posts/updates a new bag. It's that simple and easy! For hardcore bag lovers, you can also check out baggie events (which showcases the latest upcoming bag events) HERE.
Sign up with SG Bag Rental now and give your unwanted branded bags a new lease of life! =) Happy liaising!!! ♥
Aloha. Just dropping by to say my issue of Stuff magazine is finally out. This is the cover:
The insert in the contents page:
And the article itself:
I don't think I remembered to upload this, but this was shot last year in the Stuff Gadget Girl column:
If you think it's easy "lounging" on a Harley, think again. My legs were trembling after some time. Good exercise! However, the pictures completely did NOT turn out as well as I expected. Damage control. -.- The laptop pic is hideous, followed by the side-view pic on the Harley. Maybe I have high expectations of myself; I always do. Doesn't help that I'm a Virgo, huh. Perfectionist to the maximum. =/ It's also at times like these that the love-hate feelings for my bangs come up. Don't know if I prefer to have them or not. It's a pain! In! The! Arse! URGH. I absolutely LOVED the accessories they put on me though. I think majority of them (if not all) are from Thomas Sabo. I did a Google search for the ring they let me wear on the cover page 'cos it was my favourite!!!!!:
Seriously not cheap. It states €259 on the website. (T_T) Glad to have had this opportunity, though I don't think I would be doing any more shoots at all now. It doesn't matter if you love me or hate me (or both)... My face will be what you see whenever you walk into any place that sells magazines. For a good whole month. BWAHAHHAHAHA. So, HELLO to the lovers and SUCK IT to the haters. Go on, walk into a store and see my face and scream, "BITCH!!!!" Make sure I hear you, because if not it'd be redundant. HAHA. You know who you are. ^_________^
My New Year resolutions was to find a job I love (or a JOB, period), and I said I would slowly ease away from modeling, but then I end up on a magazine cover all the same. LOL. Half the year is already gone! Procrastinating all the way, man. Then again, they said procrastinators are the leaders of tomorrow, right!!! HAHA. Life sucks that way. Off to send more resumes! xx
Every single time I go to New York New York, Frank Sinatra's song just pops up inside my head. I LOVE this song! =D:
Of course, the latest song related to New York as far as I know, is Alicia Keys' and Jay-Z's. And yes, I love that song too, haha:
New York New York has gotta be one of my favourite restaurants to dine in. All those New Yorker prints on the wall, the cosy booths and the food. Boyfriend brought me last week! ;) Been some time since I've last been there. I had their seafood vongole in cream sauce and baked mussels - what an aphrodisiac!:
Mussels are yummeh. My boyfriend is equally yummeh for me. Heehee:
We went to buy movie tickets for Insidious at Marina Square after dinner. And as I was walking, I passed by a poster that said Barney was in town. Immediately, I checked the showtimes and then my Blackberry. Showtimes were 1, 4 and 7pm. My Blackberry said 6:52pm. LOL. So, of course I stayed to watch!! It was a short performance, though. Only 15 minutes, I guess? Took a few pictures!:
Eh, if you can't have the real thing ('cos you need to spend a minimum of $XX in a single receipt to redeem a photo pass or something), then at least you have the gigantic poster. HAHA:
I love Barney. Brings so much happiness to me because of childhood memories. I knowwww, I am WEIRD that way. The boyfriend was like, "Next time I know what to do to get you to dance: play Barney songs." =.=
Insidious freaked me out. I DON'T LIKE THE RED DEVIL'S FACE. It's actually quite an eerie show, in that evil sort of way. The only horror movies I like (that aren't actually cheesy to me) are The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, Paranormal Activity and now, Insidious. I've never, ever screamed in a movie theatre before. NEVER EVER. But watching Insidious, it was my first time. (T_T) Yeah, I screamed. It was out of my mouth before I could even help myself. Quite funny if you think about it, but quite embarrassing too... LOL. Here's the trailer - I'm not going to watch it again because of that devil's face:
I don't know what is wrong with me lately, but I recently read this compilation book of true-crime stories and I've started getting all paranoid that whatever happened to the victims in those real-life stories, is going to happen to me. The other day I was just walking back home alone in a dark area and I was so scared, I stumbled over my. Own. Feet. -____-"' How lame!!!!
It's going to be a very boring half of June from now, and beyond. Started sending my resume to a few jobs. First time writing a resume!!! HAHAHA! It only took up 1.5 pages with a Size 10 font. -.- But hey, I never had to write a resume before because you don't need one for modeling, which I've been doing since I was out of school, so yeah. I had fun writing it, though. It's so neat and nice and detailed!!! HEHEHE. I love it like that. =D Hopefully it'll help. Haha. Wish me luck! x
