the new year post

well, so it’s time for the ubiquitous new year post before i go do half an hour of work then wash up to meet menghow and his friends.

the year 2007 has been pretty fantastic, actually.
i’m trying to keep this post short and sweet, so… yeah.
despite the tonnes of projects piled down on us poor mass commers’ shoulders, i’m pretty thankful we all survived and emerged unscathed.
2007 passed kinda fast, really.
it seemed not too long ago when year 2 started, and when i was really apprehensive about going into a new class, with new people.
however, although the first sem saw me being really anti-social… going from class (without talking much to anyone except my project groupmates), to cca, and back home… i’m glad i opened up more during the second sem.
much has happened within this short year.
a break-up, new friendships, a broken heart, and tight-knitted friendships.
for those of you who contributed to this great year, you know who you are.

THANKS A MILLION AND I LOVEEEEEE YOU! <3 <3 <3

okay, so here goes my new year resolutions which i definitely HAVE TO keep (yeah, right):
1. lose weight! – 52kg please please please.
2. be a nicer person
3. get into director’s list again
4. make npkfc stronger

it’s time to go do comiss so i can countdown and end 2007 with a blast.
i’m not gonna be blogging till next year (duh), so till then….
take care and…. ciao~!

love,
lexy

p.s.
pohpeiks, think you won’t see this, but you are being MISSED. i hope you’re doing well in london and can’t believe i won’t be seeing you till july!

p.p.s

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU GUYS!

ALEXIS IS ANGRY. and hurt.

i’ve decided never to ask people out anymore.
it’s fucking irritating when people can just pangseh you for a variety of reasons.
well, so what if you have a boyfriend?
shouldn’t friends always be more important than any significant other?
it was settled on long ago… that we’d spend new year eve together.
everyone else – menghow, christine and i – kept  that day free so we could go out together.
menghow, although sick, was willing to come out still..
and yet… just because your boyfriend asked you to go club with his other two friends, you willingly left us for him.
what happened to the “we settled on putting our priorities before each other” you told me when you first got together with him?
we gave way – asking you to bring him along for the countdown with us.
and you said he promised his friends and wouldn’t pangseh them. so, my dear… you would do that to us?
i wonder why… when people who hate others pangsehing them most…. do the exact same thing so often.
so.. thank you. for deciding to leave us for your boyfriend.. and not even replying messages anymore.
because of you, christine decided to go and work tomorrow night. although she was nicer and asked to meet up for breakfast tomorrow.
it wouldn’t hurt as much if it were someone else who left for the boyfriend.
it’s just that… i never expected that from you.
fuck it. i’m going to work tomorrow rather than countdown.

anyway, i did this colour quiz/survey thingy on http://www.goldinuniverse.com/ and the results seem pretty accurate!

You feel as if you have missed out on a great deal that life had to offer and you go about trying to make up for past failures. Naturally at times you get depressed and you try to compensate for your ‘missed opportunities’ by living your life to the full. This is what, perhaps, may be described as ‘living with exaggerated intensity’. In this way you feel you can break the chains of the past and start again – and it could be that you are right.

You need an atmosphere of peace and quiet and you would like to share a bond of understanding with the ‘right person’ – you have the belief that with the right person, your stress and anxiety could be minimised.

You need a friend – a close friend – and you are willing to become emotionally involved with the right person, but you are very demanding and particular in your choice of partners. You are constantly looking for reassurance and it is perhaps because of this that you tend to be somewhat argumentative, but you try to hold back – careful to avoid open conflict – since this might reduce your prospects of realising your hopes of establishing a warm caring relationship.

You are trying to prove yourself – not only to yourself but also to everyone around you. There is much that you would like to say and do but the situation warrants self-restraint and that is the last thing that you have on your mind. It would seem that you have an unsatisfied need to ally yourself with others whose standards are as high as your own. You want to be different – to stand out from the crowd. This is subjecting you to considerable stress but you tend to stick to your attitudes despite lack of appreciation. Of course, you are finding the situation uncomfortable and would like nothing better but to break away from it but you don’t like the idea of compromise. Your main problem is that you are unable to resolve the situation because you continually postpone making the necessary decisions. You feel that if you make the wrong choice this would lead to such opposition that you would not be able to command the esteem of others. It is essential that those around you are prepared to comply with your wishes.

You really like doing what you do and, more than that, you like yourself. Your attitude to work and to life is that ‘If its not fun – then don’t do it’. You want to be liked and respected, not for who you are but for what you are – and it seems to be working.

a day at sentosa

well, so i got tanned burnt.

anyway, did some thinking while tanning and being anti-social at the beach today.
realised it’s really surprising how many people look, but never see.
they think they know you, but how much of the you do they really see?
there are things that are so very obvious – traits of someone’s character that sticks out – and yet, because of the impression one has of that someone… those traits are more or less overlooked.
i’m not saying it’s a bad thing, afterall, as the saying goes… “beauty lies in the eye of the beholder”.
but sometimes, you really wonder how people can be oh-so-blind.
they see the you on the surface, and think they know you already.
how about being more discerning?
what is shown on the surface – amiability, friendship – may just be a means to achieve something you are oblivious to.

oh well. pictures from sentosa.
carrie said, and which i agreed heartily, that frances, jin and chunping are the ultimate camwhores.

jin and chunping the guys were rather fascinated by this random girl’s boobs.
“wah so big, she still can stand straight leh! usually people will hunch already.”
“imagine her running 2.4!”
tsk tsk. guys and their one-track minds.

i kinda like my legs in this picture.
it’s a rare thing to see them looking slim and toned (and tanned)!

too lazy to rotate it. but anyway…
ngee ann kickboxing (or rather, part half of it). =.=

and it was “i am legend” at vivo after that.
everyone was nearly dead.
rather than buying drinks, jin, frances, chunping and morven treated coffee bean as a napping place.
fantabulous.
and for some weirdass reason, jin and frances started taking people’s funny faces.

okay, off to apply aloe vera on my poor abused skin. ta~

i am deadbeat.

anyway, clubbing with carrie, sheereen, jin, frances, junxiang and chunping on wednesday night at arena was DA SEX man!
great company always makes a hell lotsa difference.
of course, arena was pretty fab too!
wednesday and thursday nights see free flow of vodka and lychee martinee for the ladies allllll the way to 4am.
and the female singers in the live band were HOTNESS TO THE MAX.
they could shake that booty like nobody’s business.
and i touched one of their hands! *jumps around excitedly*
can’t wait for the next hols to arrive so we can go again!
anyway… pictures say it all.

my fingers look like they were cramping or something. =.=

anyway, remind me never to club the night before training.
it kinda kills the day after.
i swear i was _ this close to dying at the start of training.
baaahhh! but imma happy girl!
carrie said she might join kickboxing! albeit only for thursday’s trainings, but better than nothing ahhh!

oh, something joshua said just now made me laugh.
but not because of you lah okay, joshua.

i was kinda thankful it wasn’t carrie who said that.

she demonstrated her (weird) ability to hit on the unlucky things that may happen.
*thinks back to the train ride home just now*

oh well, it’s time for bed!
picnic with npkfc at sentosa in… 8 hours time.
*crosses fingers and hope sandwiches won’t turn soggy*
*crosses fingers and hopes that the weather tomorrow will be good – bright and sunny*
goodnight!

sushi + ben&jerry’s is love

so today was spent with me being a good girl – staying home to start on the first paragraph of comiss (success!), and having dinner with the family.
although my first paragraph lasted all of 48 words, it’s better than nothing okay!

okay, so daddy came home from thailand today!
we wanted to eat at swensens, but the queue was so darn long.
ended up going to sakae, and i ate a hell lot can! (yes yes, what’s new, i know.)
more or less ended up bloated, but my sweet tooth acted up again.
i just WASN’T satisfied without ice cream.
so we decided to go to the ICE CREAM GALLERY near the house.
but, lazy buggers weren’t open. ROARRRRR!
being the good daughter i am, i decided to intro my family to BEN&JERRY’S.
went to 7-11 to buy a tub of new york super fudge chunk.
and THAT is heaven.
*blissful look*

anyway, the arena tomorrow with sheereen, carrie, and sheereen’s friends.
can’t wait! it’s been ages since i last clubbed.
BAH!

merry christmas

first up, here’s an advance merry christmas to everyone!

anyway, i went to recce botanic gardens for the i&e event on wednesday.
although it was great having the sun out, it was so damn hot can!
not used to the (sudden) extreme heat in this dreary monsoon season, and so i swear like a roasted pig.
and i swear botanic gardens is quite the very huge!
went in from the holland road entrance, and exited from bukit timah road.
can be said as the greatest accomplishment in my entire week of slacking – walking from one end of the gardens to the other. *pats self on head*

oh, and i can’t believe someone would actually trust my judgment on what to wear to church.
:X
thanks joakim for boosting my confidence in the fashion sense.

i need a job, btw.
am thinking of working at this ktv pub in boat quay… but it seems kinda scary to work there alone!
although the pay in itself is a hella attractive lure.
$6-$12/hour.
commission: $10/bottle of hard liquor ; $5/shot sold.
good right! so… any girls wanna work there with me?
minimum of 12 hours a week!
