Today Teacher Lee shall teach you all some very important lessons in life which you must remember.
1. When you receive an invitation, read every single stupid detail PROPERLY. Always always check the bloody dress code. Don't dismiss the invitation as crap and throw it away.
2. Even if you did throw away the invitation, always ALWAYS ask your friends for the details. Preferably the day before so you wouldn't make any silly mistakes on the day itself.
3. Trust your instincts. If your instincts tell you something is wrong, bloody well believe that something will be wrong and prevent it from happening immediately instead of being stupidly optimistic.
4. Don't assume. I can assume that I'm ugly and stupid, which is so not the truth.
5. If all of the above don't happen, be super duper 100%-guaranteed-or-your-money-back thick skinned. Like that you won't feel embarrassed or stupid when you become outstanding for all the wrong reasons.
I didn't find the talk really good today. Partly because I was feeling like crap. I dun think they explained enough about the scholarships. Their message for the day was: Don't ask so much just take our scholarships, go China study, come back and teach for 4-5 years. And there goes 4-5 years of youth. And it was an irony to do an opening speech in English for a LEP session. Talking to the scholars were more useful, whatever they said were very relevant.
And the beehoon was nice.
The shoot today was a total fiasco. I thought it was at 2.30 pm, but NO! It was at 2 pm. I had to rush like shit and I wasn't feeling very good myself cos of the other fiasco in the morning. In the end I only started everything at 3.30 pm.
The people were all very friendly and nice. I like the photographer cos she was very patient with me. She had to come up with all sorts of poses for me because I was too stiff and I just couldn't get the right angle. In any case posing is hard. You have to turn your head in a certain manner (I still dunno how), lower your chin, your shoulders etc etc. They are very particular even with the way you stand and the way you place your hands.
Once I forgot I was wearing a long dress and tripped because my actions were too big. There was a loud "BOMP!" and the photographer thought I jumped on the mat and was quite shocked.
The makeup person said my hair was rather well-cut except for the fringe. No need to remind me of my horrible fringe thank you.
In the end it lasted all the way till 6.45 pm or so. Damn tiring. My eyes were like bloodshot after the whole thing. I dun even know if I can wake up in time to watch World Cup today.
Sunday is coming! Which means Monday is coming. Which means I have to start mugging soon.
