Self-Indulgence

Something interesting happened to me yesterday that I feel is worth putting down here just so I can look back at it in future and chuckle with some amount of narcissistic self-indulgence.

A talent scout came up to me and asked if I would be interested in becoming a model.

Predictably, my first reaction was bemusement. Recounting that incident to Baby that night, my first thought at the time was that the scout's bak chew tak stamp (translated: eyes covered with stamps). But that quickly gave way to a feeling of amusement. I thought it quite funny how of all the people streaming in and out of Bugis MRT Station, the scout chose me. Maybe it was because I had just left the gym and the effects of my exercise had yet to fade.

Looks like all the sessions at the gym paid off though I will state that becoming a model was never the intent of my trips to the gym and being approached like this is more of an ego boost bonus than anything else. Still, it is nice to receive some form of flattery every now and then. Not that I need it. I know I look good in a suit already which the scout thought I would and which I felt was needless to say. I mean, tell me something I don't already know. :p

Like maybe how good I might look in leopard prints leh-perd preeen-sss. That's bound to attract alot of attention.

Self-indulgence. Really!
