Tuesday morning Lauren was busy with castings but Miranda and I just relaxed and hung out around the apartment. We got ready and did our own hair and makeup for an event we were working later in the afternoon. After lunch Miranda, Amanda and I left to go to the agency to get our weekly allowance. We met up with Lauren there so that we could all go to the job together.

We arrived at the location on Keppel Bay and got escorted to the "White Rabbit" yacht that we would be working for the Five Star Diamond Award cocktail reception.

When we arrived at the yacht we met Susur Lee who is a celebrity chef from Top Chef Masters.

He was very nice and talked to us about our trip in Singapore and told us about his restaurants in Toronto and Manhattan which we all want to go to now!

After all of us were standing around talking for a while a crew member from the boat brought us models inside the yacht to change into our white swimsuits. When we walked inside we were all amazed, it was so beautiful!

After we got changed we had a little bit of time before the guests started arriving so we sat on the top deck of the yacht in the sun and talked. When we heard that guests would be arriving soon we got into our positions to greet them. For an hour or so I stood on the second deck to welcome and direct the guests to go to the third deck for the reception. In between guests coming I would try to sit and relax but I felt a little dizzy because it was so hot outside. Mr. Norman who hired us for the event brought me some candy to help me feel better and I shared with Miranda. 

After greeting the guests it was time to hand out some Five Star Diamond awards. Mr. Joseph Cinque presented the awards and I helped give out one of the awards. We all took pictures with the recipients and concluded the ceremony so that everyone could make their way to the official dinner event. 

During the cocktail reception and after giving out the awards I had a chance to talk to Mr. Joseph Cinque and his business partner Ms. Karen Dixon, and it was such a pleasure meeting them. Mr. Joseph Cinque has actually worked with the Miss Universe Organization for the past 12 years because Mr. Donald Trump is a Board of Trustees member of The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences which gives out the Five Star Diamond Awards. Here is Mr. Joseph Cinque and the current Miss Universe Ximena Navarrete

I shared with him how passionate I am about the Miss Universe organization and it was fun looking at pictures on his iPad of him working with Mr. Donald Trump and the organization. Our job ended at 7:00pm so I said goodbye and the girls and I took some pictures together before we left.

Then we all changed back into our dresses that we wore there but it was so nice that we got to keep our swimsuits that were about $200. We said goodbye to the White Rabbit and started walking to Vivo City to get something to eat. 

My roommates and I walked to Vivo City and got local food for dinner. I had carrot cake again because I figured it would be the last time I could have it. Then we went back to the plaza by the apartment and got McDs ice cream! I skyped with my parents and Mike, washed up, and went to bed!
