A Nice Treat


Today was a slightly earlier start for me. Last night I went to bed around 10:30, I was completely gassed at that time. After waking maybe 3 or 4 times because of the heat I eventually climbed out of bed around 8. Note to self you really do need A/C to sleep, so turn it on.

My first stop for today was a casting for some fashion photography. The gentleman I met with was awesome. Immediately upon my arrival he offered water/pop and candy. I jumped on the former as walking has truly made me sweat a ton and I don’t want to be dehydrated. Shortly after going through my book, Alex the model from yesterday arrived. This is the 3rd time we have bumped into each other now. I think she will be quite helpful, as she has travelled significantly through this line of work.

I have 4 hours to kill before I head to a fitting. This afternoon I have a fitting for 7 For All Mankind. So I walked around for a bit. Its crazy the amount of travel stores in the malls. I am talking like 20-30 plus in each mall. Although that was in the Chinatown part of this city. I am now sitting in the food court of the 7th floor of a mall. I bought a towel and some snacks at the CareFour grocery store. To my luck I found some Nature’s Path cereal ($7). For lunch I ended up with a bento box in a hawker centre. 1 cup of rice, 1 cup of cabbage, 2 orange slices, a fried egg and about 4 ounces of salmon ($5).  I think these first few days here have been a little more expensive than the remainder will be, buying some initial groceries, transit pass, etc. 

Last night I briefly met my landlord Michelle. I hope to have a conversation with her tonight about pool and gym access. I need to get a workout in ASAP. One of the concerns that have come up is that I look a little younger in person than I do in my photos. I think adding some of my size back will help.
