Needless to say, I have became RM 2,800 poorer but I believe this will be a worthwhile experience. I’m currently very worry though on how I’m able to walk in a 5 inch heel. I only wear high heels when there are wedding dinners or Chinese New Year and my high heels are only 1 inch. I foresee that I will go through a lot of pain during this 6 weeks course hahaha *fingers crossed*

Wow, that's really HIGH Heel! During my modelling days, we wore at most 3½" & already killing me. Can't imagine wearing 5".
Charmaine, I always encourage people to go for modelling. Good exposure. My son was talent-spotted in Orchard Rd couple of times & I strongly encourage him to go for it. Too bad, he's still not keen. Sigh!

I have to agree that its money worth investing, I mean its not only about modelling but so many other areas covered like grooming and deportment, nutrition etc etc. All these are so important esp when socialising and dining. You becomes so polish and classy in carrying yourself with confidence.

Oh you want to be a model? That's great. I hope your wish will be fulfilled 🙂

Wowzers! 5 inch heels!
Being a "tall pisces girl" do you even need those? 😉 Actually, how tall are you?
Good luck!
Haha I'm 173cm 😀
Mmmm, 173cm that's indeed not really small. And for a Malaysian girl quite tall, I guess. In my country that's about average length for a woman. Hihi.
