Thursday – Modelling Part II
My second venture into modelling (Well, technically my third, but that tiny one with just my nails and half my face doesn’t really count). This one’s for a Revlon advertorial. Two looks (ie 2 sets of hair and makeup), they told me it would take a couple of hours; it took more like 4 or 5. Nothing terribly thrilling, even if I did look better than my maiden attempt. By the way, I’m not happy with the way I looked in that one so I’m not telling anyone publication details.
Friday – Huge, Plastic Pink Sunnies
Full on day. Had a bunch of errands to run and an event in KL city centre to attend. The good thing about it all is, we (my beauty editor and I) left early and went home. Well, at least she did. I decided since she’d dropped me off in Midvalley Shopping Centre – where I’d parked my car – and it was only 5 in the evening, I might as well do a spot of shopping. I didn’t buy anything, though I almost got me a pair of huge, plastic pink sunnies. As Yoda would say, preparing for the beach I am.
Saturday – Counselling
Our last session of marriage counselling. Pastor Chew and Aunty Lee Choo (isn’t it weird how they’re both pastors and I only call one of them “pastor” and the other “aunty”? One could almost argue it’s unconscious sexism) have been awesome. I’m almost sorry it’s all come to an end. But then again, I wouldn’t want to discuss sex, conflict resolution, finances and in-laws every week now, would I? Did I learn much? Definitely, but the best part wasn’t what they taught us. It was the fact that the four of us were sitting in their living room, making time to connect and share. I guess it meant a lot to me.
Sunday – Lingerie Sales People
Yuchun decided to sleep in, and I decided to go shopping. You would not believe the number of people in 1 Utama Shopping Centre at 10.30am on a Sunday. I am pleased to announce that this shopping trip was much more fruitful. And have you ever noticed how lingerie sales people are just so persistent? They’re almost like insurance salesmen. They smile, greet you, introduce themselves, offer to help you, give you a dozen recommendations, even ask if they can help you try them on (no thanks, I’m alright). I wonder how they would react to a male customer. Any takers? I’ll call it a social experiment.
Monday – Honey Milk Exfoliating Scrub
I spent 3 and a half hours in a spa today. During work hours. All in the name of work. Spa review and all, y’know. For all the measly pay, at least I’m saving on beauty treats. This one’s going to last me till my wedding day. It’s my treat to myself. I know you’re supposed to do it only like the day before or something (to calm and relax you apparently), but for me, a month in advance will just have to do. And all the calming properties? Well, they were great, until I got stuck in a traffic jam for an hour.
Tuesday – Modelling Part III
Definitely much more interesting than Parts I and II combined. For starters, the makeup artist was French. For seconds, he was friendly, more than happy to make conversation, and imitated Britney gyrating at a concert (I was shocked, he says), and acting the prima donna (“Do you know who I am? I’m Britney Spears” complete with hand gestures and head bobs), and getting kicked out of a New York fast food eatery. Thoroughly entertaining.
