At 10.30 am, the consultant started pacing back and forth and at half past eleven, he had nearly burnt a hole in the carpet when the contractors made an appearance.<br /><br />Division of labour was observed.

The VIP company deals specifically with anything to do with luxury and extravagance, and is the number one choice by celebrities for putting together their holiday packages.<br /><br />You will be required to accompany the celebrity clients on yachts, private jets, limos, parties (might be travelling on helicopter for a day to attend exclusive parties in Miami), sporting events (golf, watersports), etc. Other job requirements might be sun-bathing on a private white beach or making each other cocktails at the pool-side bar.<br /><br />You must be extremely sociable, enthusiastic, outgoing, intelligent (not just a pretty face!), body perfect, no less than 5’5, well-mannered and well-spoken, a great dancer, over 18, have a valid, up to date passport! They want girls with personalities, who the celebrities can be friends with and enjoy their time with. You should not be a celebrity obsessed ‘hanger-on’ but must appear trendy, chic and sophisticated.<br /><br />THIS IS NOT ESCORTING AND WILL NOT INVOLVE ANY KIND OF ADULT WORK WHATSOEVER!!<br /><br />The job is very much like hostessing and promo work, except that you will be paid a daily rate to be on holiday as well as have all your expenses covered. There will be absolutely NO ADULT work or nudity involved and your safety there will be secured! You will be accompanied by a team of individuals, including an entourage of lawyers who will be there with you at all times and a booker from the agency. These are all respectable celebrities.<br /><br />The job pays a minimum of £150-350 for your daily rate. However please remember that the client will be paying for all travel, accommodation, food and all other expenses whilst you are abroad, so this is a fee on top of your glamorous holiday! Please bear that in mind. You will also be abroad for anywhere up to 14 days per vacation/trip.<br /><br />All you need you to do there is have lots of fun, look good, party and make sure the guests are having the best holiday of their lives!!<br /><br />The next job is for a celebrity client (details of who this is will be given to you if you are selected for the job) who is going on vacation to the Bahamas and they want to be seen and photographed surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women.<br /><br />A preliminary casting is taking place at our offices on FRIDAY 7th NOVEMBER 2008 (TOMORROW), and if selected you will attend a casting the following day, on SATURDAY 8th NOVEMBER 2008 for the VIP Company in central London.<br /><br />PRODUCTION ROLES:as stated<br />PRODUCTION START DATE:November 30, 2008<br />PRODUCTION END DATE:January 31, 2008<br />MEDIA FORMAT:ModellingUUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324571420765873625.post-17012908728774001522008-09-10T22:43:00.005+08:002008-09-10T22:47:27.365+08:00Why are Malaysians still reading The Secret?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXjrwLJfL1gCyWsMWGGuBI6ZJHnfGhfMDLuKRoxdkdY7u274odaLgKzGieaTCTJg2Cm1Y5Wu2uWutgEtSvLO8CxqRsj8Daws4t3SrFsz7ha1aw0z1Dd9ViR6bxLrzLG8lob76ian9Qjnw/s1600-h/Best-sellers1+copy.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXjrwLJfL1gCyWsMWGGuBI6ZJHnfGhfMDLuKRoxdkdY7u274odaLgKzGieaTCTJg2Cm1Y5Wu2uWutgEtSvLO8CxqRsj8Daws4t3SrFsz7ha1aw0z1Dd9ViR6bxLrzLG8lob76ian9Qjnw/s400/Best-sellers1+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244403762838807890" /></a><br /><br />Item number 5 under the non-fiction list is a surprise.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324571420765873625.post-29127883504730837992008-09-04T18:12:00.003+08:002008-09-04T18:20:20.426+08:00On carrying heavy camerasMe: I'm afraid I might develop CTS, joint arthritis or something.<br />Friend: I've never heard of people developing arthritis because of the camera :P<br />Me: We're the new generation.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324571420765873625.post-22323712574185566422008-08-16T17:13:00.005+08:002008-08-16T17:31:59.017+08:00Conversation with momMom: You should drop in a preserved sour plum the next time you have herbal tea.<div>Me: I'm lazy and I forget.</div><div>Mom: But you should!

They eventually found themselves seated several seats away from each other, with me sandwiched in between. They gave each a once over and were mortified. The situation was intense. Half expecting them to start clawing, I considered suggesting a coin toss. Before I could put my thoughts into action, I was called away by the Husband.<br /><br />Let's face it. Silly as it sounds, this situation is a common theme among women all over the world. I dread when the situation is presented to me.

We finally made our move to London with 5 bags and 3 boxes. Till we sort out our accommodation, we are staying in a service apartment in central central London.<br /><br />Now, the wonderful thing about the location of this place is the W1 postcode. Bond Street (read : shopping mecca) is moments away. If you still have no clue what's in the area, Selfridge's is just around the corner. The shopping is GREAT but gets depressing after a while. I can't be splurging £800 on a handbag everytime I head out!<br /><br />On to more important updates. I made progress and started cooking. I've not blown up any ovens or microwaved an egg. The consultant has given his stamp of approval.<br /><br />While preparing dinner yesterday I realized that there was no can opener in this service apartment! It was too tiring to run out in the cold to buy a can opener. Rummaging through my bag, I found my trusty Swiss Army Knife. It definitely came in very useful in this situation.<br /><br />The basic necessities so far:<br /><ul><li>Swiss Army Knife</li><li>credit card (with very high credit limit of course)</li><li>common sense</li><li>basic command of the English language<br /></li></ul>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324571420765873625.post-34993015958200197572007-11-27T22:46:00.001+08:002007-11-27T22:49:40.325+08:00Big fish waiting for 1.12.2007<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicby7rPaEM9bL9Fo0_bzNTrDL7s-kOvQOlKeuTvBJYn6WJuwAYrT8hd7G0PAA77ljgDAsmUBdc8J4M765r5N7s1h9ZJFMBDzD7KvUNTVLLpNYw_n2HGXywfgcCmmQEQaNoo4iPHBRfub8/s1600-h/Image011.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicby7rPaEM9bL9Fo0_bzNTrDL7s-kOvQOlKeuTvBJYn6WJuwAYrT8hd7G0PAA77ljgDAsmUBdc8J4M765r5N7s1h9ZJFMBDzD7KvUNTVLLpNYw_n2HGXywfgcCmmQEQaNoo4iPHBRfub8/s400/Image011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137531871975096578" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324571420765873625.post-11961703340021593812007-10-09T11:52:00.000+08:002007-10-09T12:23:02.738+08:00Eat, shop and party sans credit card?!?Thanks to my negligence, I temporarily misplaced my credit card and asked for a replacement.

If you've never been there, you're not missing much in the retail scene. The anchor tenant there is The Store. You get the picture. The directory in the mall was not much of help so we approached a security guard (who looked like he was short of half a chromosome) for directions. He mumbled something inaudible and pointed out directions.<br /><br />Not convinced with his directions, we walked around a while more and came to a "hair and beauty equipment center" (quoting from the name card). I stepped into the shop with the intention of enquiring about directions. Not only did I get directions to the camera shop, I ended up with a hair styling product (hey, my hair really needs help with volume!) and audio literature on Liao-Fan's four lessons. Ok, so the security guard's directions were quite accurate.<br /><br />The visit to the camera shop did not help much in convincing us which camera to buy. It's still a toss between the Nikon and the Canon. I think it's coming close to personal preference.
