Today was a very slow day work wise for me. Jet lag is
starting to clear from its ugly path. Although I was still significantly tired
this morning. I jumped out of it with a morning Skype session, followed by the
pool and the gym. I need to put on about 1 inch in my chest measurement, so
that means bigger chest and bigger back.
My back is getting well taken care of with swimming, because face it I
don’t swim that often and I can feel it pretty much every day. So today was a
day to pump my Arnold sized chest into action. I cooled off and achieved some
cardio in the pool afterwards.
I set up a meeting with the wonderful ladies at the agency
to pick up my allowance and chat a little bit. We talked about my cat allergy
and they all suggested Zyrtec from the pharmacy, its apparently not to expensive
and works like a charm. My cat allergy hasn’t been bugging me that much. But I
am very cautious to close my door any time I enter or leave my room. I spend
very little time in the common area as a result. Only slightly off topic.
During our discussion we talked about the new Pics from Luke Elijah and how we
were quite pleased with them. We also discussed about building my book by doing
other test shoots. The trouble is actually find a time that works for both a
photographer and me. Good news of course! My schedule will be quite busy for
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The details haven’t all been confirmed yet, but
I got the corporate video gig, also the condo development one and I have
another fashion show for Friday. If I were a little more androgynous I would
likely let or a squeal or some crazy prepubescent Justin Bieber excitement
sound. Instead, I am super stoked. The
video is a 12-hour day, which is kind of crazy. I think it should be fun too.
Good experience…adventure.
After leaving OMM I was somewhere between Chinatown and
Little India. I went back to the hawker centre that Pat took me to last week. I
went straight to the same place to get an Avocado juice. So awesome. Lunch hour
was tapering off when I was there it was close to 2:30, so many places were
sold out and closed. I found that kind of interesting that many signs have an
opening time say 11:00am and close when they run out of food. I found a soup
place, to try something different. I wanted this pork rib soup but they were
sold out. So I asked the guy, what the other 10 people in line had ordered.
Majority ruled and I asked for Buddha Jumped over the Wall with some rice. I
swear I took a picture, but it’s not on my phone for some reason. L . Anyway this soup had
everything, oyster, squid, pork, chicken, celery, carrot, some sort of root
vegetable, mushrooms, probably more that I can’t remember. He also gave me this
little disc with a sauce in it. I dipped my finger in the sauce and it almost
knocked me over, so salty. It was hot too which I love, but I didn’t use
it. The verdict, way to much food. It
was decent I would probably give a 6.5 out of 10. The roasted duck the other
day was an 8. Worth the experience for sure.

I wanted to continue my adventure so I Crip walked my way
over to Dhoby Ghaut station and searched out the printer guy to get my new pics
for my book. Curious the whole way I walked into 3 or 4 malls, just to see what
they had. There are stores here where you go to play your FPS video games,
pretty cool, although I have better things to do. I also darted in and out of
the malls, as it felt more humid today than any other day, probably because it
rained most of the afternoon.
Melissa also got back to me and introduced me to a friend closer to my age here in Singapore and also a very experienced woman in Hong Kong with modelling.
I came home for a bit, watched an episode of Dexter. After
much effort I finally found a site that streamed video here in Singapore. If
anyone has suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. Then the gurgle of my
stomach called me to go grab dinner. Here it is:
I stopped by fair price picked up a few snacks, nature
valley bars and some more nuts. And because I haven’t in a while and I have
been craving. I spotted this and thought of Dad. He calls the bums that ask for money downtown this.
And finally I bring you the title of my post:
