a place where she always goes

been looking for jobs ever since after chalet.. was lucky enough to get a call from HR saying that they will be forwarding my resume over to CPF for a temp job that is two weeks long, and it may be extended if i do a good job.. and the pay quite good too.. and, coincidentally, i went for a audition (actually it's more like an interview) today at taka tower A. it all began when me and venus were "talent scouted" (should i say talent scouted at all? hm. ) along the orchard underground tunnels as we were doing last minute shopping for prom on tues. twice by two different people from the same company.. haha.. first she asked for our age and asked if we were interested in doing modelling for mag covers, tv adverts etc.. then the person took down our names and numbers and shortly after (just yesterday) , i received a call from karen of BI international asking me to go down for an audition at taka tower today.. i wont exactly call it an audition because all i did there today was to chat with another person from the office as karen wasnt in yet and talk about the details of the whole thing.. not sure if venus went down today cos she did say her parents quite apprehensive about the whole issue.. will probably check with her later..

details of the whole thing..
1. undergo a 6 week course (every sunday 1.5 hrs) on modelling and photo shoots. once started, cannot back out.. whole cost of course: $2000 (fully sponsored by company)
2. for the course, i need to get 3 things at personal expense: 3 inch high heels (wah, think i'll wobble and fall if i really ever try one), casual wear (stuff like tops and jeans -- piece of cake since my wardrobe is full of them), and professional makeup kit that makes people look good under strong lighting (catch -- it cost $550.. i can either buy myself or get the company's makeup artist to order for me.. it will be my personal belonging..)
3. after the 6week course, i'll then freelance for the company.. so i get to choose whether i take the assignments they give, and the frequency will be based on how many companies like my face.. haha...

it sounds okay right? but i dont know if i should go for it.. i must admit, it is a once in a lifetime experience.. i mean, i dint expect such stuff to happen on me lah, cos i know i dont look pretty, i am not chio nor skinny, just one fact that i happen to be tall -- that's all. but the person said height wasnt a factor considered in their company. hm. i seriously have absolutely NO idea whether to take up this offer.. people out there reading this, please please help me.. tell me what should i do.. no datelines mentioned but the person said i can give karen a call if i have more questions... argh. how?!?!? *sheesh*
