The long and short about Singapore’s Next Top Model

I have a very important announcement to make today: I am going to be a model/actor soon.

It all started on Monday, when I was stopped by someone while walking along the Orchard underpass. I initially thought he was some insurance agent or con man, but it turns out that he is a talent scout from this modeling agency instead! Apparently, he was very impressed by my looks (his words, not mine), and told me he will be contacting me soon after getting my number.

I didn’t place too much hope on his promise because I am all too aware of my buck-ugliness physical limitations. So you can imagine my excitement when he really did give me a call just now. I was told that the agency is looking for unconventional looking models instead of the usual pretty faces, and I stand to land big projects that pay in the 4-figure region if I sign up.

Before I can start earning the 4-figure projects though, I was told that I have to first fork out a 4-figure sum for a modeling package, which includes stuff like make-over photos and basic modeling courses. This is not inclusive of the additional charges I have to pay for the model/actor package, the model/actor/host package, or the model/actor/host/singer package. I don't think I can cut it as a host or a singer, so the last two options are out for now.

I am now in a big dilemma because I was told that vacancies are very limited, and I have to confirm my decision by Friday. I also have to pay a down payment that is equivalent to approximately 500 packets of chicken rice.

So what should I do huh? I really want to be a model leh :(

With Love,
