It's all about coincidences. And the itch

Despite having USMLE exams coming up, I'm frequently distracted. In fact, sometimes I resent having exams because EVERYTHING seems to be happening during this period.

I was blog surfing one day, and as usual, whenever I see an advert at the side of my blog, I'll go click click on it. Hello. Generate more revenue you know when you click (you shoudl click too).

And usually, since I already click, I'll just scan through the ad and if it interest me, I'll continue reading. That's how I end up winning Castrol's blogger prize. And how I get so many free stuff (eg, movie tix, sample fragrance) *click to read*

So happen, the web page I clicked one fine day, was about Modelle. The advert brought me to this page.

Modelle... means model in french! Okay so corny. Sure bluff people's feeling wanna attract young girls and then con their money into making model profiles.

The description in the page also got so many grammar errors.

So I ignored it. Let it go. And continue blog hopping.

Days later, I was on facebook again. And then I saw the usualy facebook notification that "13 friends have joined Modelle group as a fan". Or something like that. Curious, I clicked on it again. And whoaaalaaaaaa. The same page was staring back at me.

Well, it caught my interest a little. But then I squinted at the page further, and well, deadline's over. Haha. Concentrate on studying larrrrrrrr.

But I did bookmark it as a fan though. Itchy fingers ma.

I opened my FB inbox weeks later, and saw this mail staring at me. "Last Call for Modelle's application" or something like that.

Hand already super itchy. Very very itchy in fact. I did a little homework. Googled Modelle up, found their web page. Made it 100 % sure it wasn't a cheesy corny advert.


I submitted my profile.

The very next day, I've got a call for an interview. And wholaaaaaaa, I'm selected as Modelle's 50.

This is the picture I submitted with my profile.
