Mamak Series, 19
"Who's this ModelWannabe?" asked KatakMerahJambu.
It's amazing how fast I can finish one cheese naan.
I'm always confused, which one is tandoori and which one is naan?
Owh right, you'll be the 4343534058997454th person asking the same thing. I should record my answer and click replay every time someone asked the same thing.
She's someone that I met during a lunch break at work later turned friend.
Just imagine a slightly mellowed down version of Miranda Kerr.
Same category, both of us are struggling and new in the industry.
I mean, she's modelling and I'm photography.
Argh nvm, you get the picture.
"But I do agree with you" said KatakMerahJambu.
Which part?
"About people especially girls, when they have an asshole as a boyfriend they complain. When they have an angel as a boyfriend, they take it for granted" said KatakMerahJambu.
Yeah.
Sounds like I'm at the latter innit?
"Sucks to be a good guy huh?" said KatakMerahJambu.
Sucks that everyone thinks you're an asshole too.
I think I should order another cheese naan.
"I can't afford not to eat" said KatakMerahJambu.
Yeah you stick, I'm the one who have to suffer the extra weight.
"Who're you fetching later?" asked KatakMerahJambu.
Her.
"I see" said KatakMerahJambu.
HantuYoYo is practically married.
RockerEmo is practically pussy whipped in a good way, I suppose.
I, don't know what to label myself.
5th month today, hope she remembers.
Owh well.

Mamak Series, 18
I've always hated Sundays for many reasons.
Everyone seems to be busy on this particular day.
Church, family day, some silly errand, last minute assignment, dating, work, pure laziness, et cetera.
I guess it's laundry day for me.
That Perodua Myvi looks oddly familiar, and so is the hot chick inside it.
Owh, it's ModelWannabe.
I wonder what the hell this woman wants this time.
"Jom makan?" asked ModelWannabe.
Where?
"Carl's Jr Pavilion?" asked ModelWannabe.
No thanks, too many people.
"How about the McDonald's on Jalan Pahang?"
It's closed down for renovation lah.
Something else than fast food please.
"But I feel like eating fats today" said ModelWannabe.
But I am the only one who keeps growing horizontally.
Where is your boyfriend?
"He's home" said ModelWannabe.
Well, why don't you be a good girlfriend and ask him out instead of me?
"I see him when I need to see him and it's not today" said ModelWannabe.
Owh I see.
So what I understand now is that you never actually want to see him in the first place but only find him when you need to?
"Yes" said ModelWannabe.
What's the point of your relationship with him then?
"It's a fair trade, he gets my sympathy and I get to use him." said ModelWannabe.
More like he allowed you to use him, don't you think?
"Doesn't really matter, I still enjoy the perks. Did I mention I have a driver?"
Sick bitch, I'm thankful I'm not dating you.
I'm thankful you don't read my blog too.
What's wrong with women especially these kind.
When they have an asshole as a boyfriend, they complain.
When they have an angel as a boyfriend, they take it for granted.
"So are we having lunch?" asked ModelWannabe.
No thanks.
I think I'd rather do my laundry today and have lunch with my mum, than having lunch with you.

Estee Lauder Model Search 2008
"I guess I'll go straight to the point" said the PRLady.
Go ahead, feel free to be honest if you want to by the way.
"We have to let you go due to several complaints from the customers that they don't have enough variation of photos to select from" said the PRLady.
Interesting.
The other day, they threaten to fire me because I wasn't friendly enough.
And now it's this reason, how professional.
Here are the problems I noticed after working for the past four days :
1. I was told by Estee Lauder that I need to shoot 15 photos at least, but I shot 20photos+ on average to be on a safe side.
2. I was told by Estee Lauder not to shoot with flat lighting but the digital touch up team (DI) told me the lighting isn't flat enough, which I did compensate somewhere in between.
3. My lighting setup and framing is EXACTLY THE SAME as my colleague, yet I'm the one who got sacked.
4. I was informed that I wasn't friendly enough, when most of the clients stayed back to chat with me at least a minute before they change their wardrobe.
5. (DI) team leader named Desmond whateverhislastnameis invaded my workspace several times before just because he's too used to flat lighting.
6. I was informed that the customers can't pick which photo to print because they all look the same, when the customers can't pose and the stylists are the one who are in charge for poses, and I am the only one who got sacked.
7. Estee Lauder reviewed the previous work of me and my colleagues and yet I am the only one who sacked because the photos I took are "ugly", refer to number 2.
8. It's not a model search to begin with, just some hoax marketing MAINLY for ugly women.
Let me explain to you what ugly women means to me.
Ugly women are the kind of people who needs some sort of assurance from others that they look acceptable in this world and goes bloody insecure about themselves all the time, even they're the hottest chick in this world.
Beautiful women regardless anorexic, fat, short, tall, or just plain beautiful are the ones who don't need assurance from others because they already feel good about themselves.
So for RM300, you can lie to yourself to get a huge chunk mockery on your face, digitally too :)
Eyes not big enough, we'll use eye shadow on you.
Too many zits, there's always concealer.
Flabby arms? It's just a few clicks away on Photoshop.
There were a few model worthy women who came and they were great subjects, humble too I must mention.
"Just don't take it personally yeah?" said the PRLady.
Well, I hope something similar will happen to you in a really short while and I want to see how you can not take it personally.
note : edited because apparently it's too sensitive.
Go ahead, feel free to be honest if you want to by the way.
