歌姫 by SID

I'm kinda tired today. Nah, I'm not in YET another emotional rut. (Thank god for small mercies!), but I'm physically tired. In brief, I had a photoshoot which spanned the whole morning and ate a little into my afternoon, followed by manning of the LTB booth. After that, I had classes until 10pm, and I've just finished clearing my emails. Long day.

The photoshoot was for cheer, by APB, and there was another male model, HG, other than us 5 girls. I'm using as many acronyms as possible because I'm hoping that Google doesn't pick up my blog. HAHA. If you know me and ask me, I'd tell you everything, but for blog purposes, they shall remain acronyms. Not that I want to be anonymous, but I'd like to stay low-key. Well, as low-key as I possibly can. I felt that the photoshoot was less tiring than the usual cosplay photoshoot. Guess it was because there were make-up and costume people to take care of us. No matter what any model says about how tiring the industry is, the fact is that cosplay is way worse. I suppose its because the cosplayer is model, make-up artist and stylist all rolled into one. Sometimes, we're also the one doing the recce and post-process as well. Way worse than just worrying about whether or not you look enthusiastic and making sure that the white skirt remains white.

Anyhow, the male model is supposed to be a pretty famous guy. I Googled him, and saw sooooo much about him, including his resume. WOW. I didn't think that he was superbly famous, but he seems to be pretty 'hot', going by opinion polls and the number of bloggers who talked about him? Yup. He was pretty nice, and had a good sense of humour. The interesting thing was that I saw him drawing the skull design of my t-shirt in his notebook during the rest time. How do I know its not just any skull? You need to see my tee-shirt to understand. Its not your typical skull. Anyway, he was suppose to be 'serious' while us cheerleaderswere supposed to be all bimbo and cheerful. We had a few problems in the beginning with the issue of height ( He's about 1.8m plus, most cheer flyer girls are less than 1.5, except me...), contrast of expressions, shadow, passers-by and what not. It was resolved after a while, professionals are really professionals, and we wrapped everything up pretty quickly. Okay, with him it was slow, but us girls alone was fast. Easy to be all hyper and energetic in uniform and able to move as we please without 'overwhelming' the guy. Anyhow, I really liked the make-up. Simple, yet very very flattering. My eyes looked superbly cute. I know I have to qualify this. I have single eyelid tear-shaped eyes. Not common even among Asians, though its something that we commonly associate with Asians. Normally, I look Chinese or Japanese, but with the make-up, I think I look like a pretty Asian girl. OKAY. I admit that I FELT that my eyes looked cute. The fake double eyelid line was excellently drawn. Like I said, professional...

After all the 'YAY-ing', went to LTB to man the booth. I didn't really help much as I was in a zombie mode. I did drag a friend or two to look at our booth, but I think I spent more time eating, taking care of our belongings and securing the structure than soliciting people. Which was tough, because the black partition was a literally and figuratively a barrier to people. There was this cleaning lady who was very amused by our coffin (Yep, there was a coffin.) and kept bringing her friends and colleagues along. Other than that, I spoke to a few of the maintenance staff about the booth. Yeah, I think I work better with older people.

CT class was, as usual, a complete bore. Law was, well, law. And there ends my day. My Tuesday for this semester at least. 

I still have an exam tomorrow night, but I think that things will be way better once LTB is done and over with. I think life will definitely look up when cheer ends as I'll have more time to study for my finals, and I can't wait for the summer holidays. I think summer is the time where we recharge for the entire year, as our winter break is PATHETIC, and I intend to make full use of it. I'm going to Hong Kong, the tickets have already been purchased, and I think I'm likely to pick up pole dancing. Other than cheer training for summer, we'll be starting pyramids, and doing some school based CIP project, I hope I won't have to go back to school too often. Its irritating to have your school in town sometimes, especially when you want to relax. You can't do so as all you think about is school work and assignments. Nevertheless, I appreciate the location as I have no need to travel all the way to the other end of the island everyday. All that travelling would definitely totally kill me. Just the transport cost alone is a pain, not to mention the amount of time wasted. And having to squeeze with the working adults during peak hour. EECH.

I can't wait for summer...
