Une Semaine

Today I start my second week at August Man magazine.

It's been a crazy first week. I've helped out with an interview with Dr. Kay Segler, CEO of BMW. The dude has a cool German accent which Mus would appreciate. But his English is pretty incoherent. But through that (from what I could discern in the interview), I learnt a lot about the BMW M Series - performance cars that, at the press of a button, can go from Orchard Road-chic to racetrack roaring. Non-vital information, actually, considering I won't be having a car for a good few more years.

I'm writing a piece on Evangeline Lilly, which is right up my alley for three reasons: she's hello, she acts in Lost, and I think I wanna marry her. Sorry, Emma and Natalie (Imbruglia). Look out for it in the May issue!

I'm also doing a section called Drink of the Month, which features a cocktail from one of Singapore's nightspots. To do this part, I have to call the Marketing Executives of the bar/pub/club, tell them what I'm doing and ask for hi-resolution photos. Being introverted and shy, I find this terribly hard to do. Really. Seriously. But they're mostly very, very nice and helpful, and they usually invite me to go down and try the cocktail myself.



Today, I attended the opening of the Gucci boutique at Paragon. Saw Rohai there, but he was unavailable for photography. It's a beautiful place, with beautiful shoes and clothes and bags I would never buy for the numerals attached to the dollar signs on the tags. I saw this wallet that had the Gucci monoprint in black, with red threadings by the edges. Fucking shiok.

Well, that's been my life so far. I haven't even gotten to the part about my colleagues yet. They're a mad mélange of fabulous and straight-cool and intellect. But I have too much work to do to continue on that. Evangeline Lilly demands that I write more about her.

So ya.
