Moving On Part 2..

Yup...Channel U : U RE THE MAN! What a name for that man!My goodness...It all started the day i joined Upfront Models, and they had a Thanksgiving party @ Oosh. Well, its a time when models get up close and personal with producers and directors, and they exchanged contacts for future job opportunities. The whole thing was good but cliche in certain ways, probably i was considered some new chap in this line, still trying to learn the way of PR-ing in this line. Not my cup of tea for sure...

Reached there around 8.30pm, although the whole thing started at 7.30pm. Holding on to my portfolio, i signed in and said Hi to Ewan and Bernard (my bookers). Felt so strange and disoriented, because i knew no one. Not knowing how to get started, i started off with the most typical Sporean way of dealing situations in a party. I took my fair share of the delicious food, and moved to one of the tables, and started digging in. Think God was kind to me not to make me feel that lonely..I actually found someone i knew on the football pitch, and we were in the same team. He happened to be a producer and we started chatting away while munching on our food. All that happened for almost 45mins before Bernard came up to me with a guy.

He introduced himself as Glen from Mediacorp. We stared chatting and i came to know that he is a senior producer with Channel U, and they were going to do a reality program which later titled as U RE THE MAN. 10 men competing with one another in challenges such as Physical Endurance, Guts, Fashion Sense etc..So, he was actually talent scouting dudes for this show, and we exchanged contacts. He would not want an open audition, so there wasn't any publicity of the show. Everything was supposed to be in house scouting and audition. After that, he said he will get someone to contact me in a few days time.

Indeed, a phone call came and i was called upon for an interview. Next i knew a few days later, i was in this reality show. The commitment is approximately 4 months, starting from November. Wow! This began as another brand new journey in my life. The whole thing about showbiz, the people that i know..and of course the UPs and the DOWNs...I will end here with that..till we go deeper again.. ;)
