Purpose 1: Modeling

It's kinda awkward and shameful most of the time if i say this to someone else but fo those who really care about me they will support me. Thanks them.  Because of them, I became brave enough to tell the world that...

I want to be a model.

not loud enough?

I want to be a MODEL!

Still can't hear me?  

I WANT TO BE A MODEL....!!!!

Secret

It's had always been my secret passion because i wasn't dare to tell anyone about it.  Another reason is that I felt that I am not tall enough to be the typical male model.  

I got few friends that I would like to mention here. number one is Andy Wee my school mate till secondary school. Once in an introductory of Economic class, Miss Debbie Goh our teacher asked what we want to be after finish study.  Then this guy Andy said "I want to be a steward...(pause a second)... model or I don't know".  wow, sincerely from his mind saying that. but when I asked him the next days, he didn't want to admit it. LOL...Andy is a tall  good looking guy that i know. I hope he really have the guts to chase his dream. (I think he had change his mind years after).

Second pArson that I want to talk about is Bartholomew whom I know since Matriculation in Labuan. During Uni life, we met during a ICG a catholic camp in Penang. He was very obsessed about the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency reality show.  He once admit to me that he want to be a Model. But I know this guy,  Meo who claim to be 170cm tall is quite famous for being indecisive and mind changing pArson. So, just in a few months i had never heard of him talking about this show anymore. But he really start me to figure thing about modeling.

Third pArson is no one but my own Aunty...Auntie Ann. My sweet aunty who stay in JB right now.  She really have the model look, style and height and even walk.  Once i was staying with her family, she mentioned to me that she would one day send Casey one of her daughter to a nearby modeling agency. jokingly she said that if the agency would like to accept casey and also herself...she would gladly accept it.

There are more pArsons that I really wanna mention here...like my sisters Gail and Bella who have the passion to modeling, my friends in GIFT like Anthea and Bunga whom said that if they were tall enough they sure will go for modeling, Karlvin only admit when he drunk, Freddie whom have everything to be a model but hesitate to start...and more.  But few are enough I guess.

Challenges

There a few challenges for me to break through  my dream. My job - site engineer.  The commitment for this job really obstruct my commitment for modeling and also others. But it is also my income. I really have to figure out what to do in order not to jeopardize both my job and passion.  sometimes I wanna try to pause my job and get into modeling for few years then get back to engineering.  But I will wait till the right time comes.  

Another challenge that i need to take is that I am not tall enough. Not 6' but only 5'10". it's kinda hard for short male to get into this industry unless he is really attractive.  I have a friend name Syed from Malacca who is short about 5'6" but he manage to do modeling successfully.  He got a lot of modeling assignment despite being a student.  Another model that I just googled whose name is Edrenalin got 5'8" height but had been a phenomenal in Australia. I believe being model is not ONLY about the height but also how you brought yourself into the industry.

Getting Started

How to start?  after knowing that this is what really I want, I am not going sit around and wait until I got any offer or found by model scout. I believe most of the supermodels was found by scout agent, some went to modeling school, some join the beauty pageant and some went to many agencies to get agent and more.   I am not that good I know. I need to put more effort if i really want to get this. It is not easy.  But first thing I need to do is initiation...I need to start soon.
