Colour Me Cliché

My conversation with Steven Lim

2011-11-28T17:08:00.001+08:00

So I was walking to the bus interchange today as usual on my way home and I got stopped by Steven Lim. I'm sure all of you knows him cause he is "famous and owns a BMW" (as told by him). Having seen him a few times before at different places scouting for models, he has not once approached me. However, today he decided to. Being curious, I decided to stay on and hear what he has to say.

There were many things he talked about during the whole conversation, but of course his main intention was so that I could join his modelling agency, if you could call that one, at a flat fee of $100. That simple. Everything aft er that will be settled by him. What I find interesting was what was mentioned in between the introduction of his modelling agency and the request of upfront payment of $100:

1. He's rich and drives a BMW.
He probably said this like 4-5 times? I don't know what he is trying to imply - that he can afford luxury stuff? Or that his popularity brought him there? Either way, whenever he said that, I swear my eyes casually glazed over. My uncle drives a BMW too. Do I look like I care? Doubt so. Then he went on showing me some letters from Mediacorp and payslips that apparently his trophies have gotten.

2. He said I could act.
His next question was whether I could act, and being the natural Singaporean I said no. From there, he said that when I said no I am already acting. I don't know if he is trying to play some reversal games on me or what but it sure as hell was not working. I know I could act, cause throughout the whole conversation I acted like I really am interested in what he was about to say, and that sure worked.

3. He said I have a nice smile.
This, in my honest opinion, is nothing surprising. I am not being thick-skinned here, but there are some things that you know you are certain of. It's like if you have a sharp nose, and people say that, you are not going to act as though you are so humble you can't take compliments. Everyone has their own set of characteristics that are beautiful, so does mine :)

4. He likened my dress sense to a style of a "megastar"
I was wearing my colourful plaid shirt (which might have been the reason why that caught his attention) and so he said that my audacity to wear bright and colourful colours makes me a "megastar". Megastar? Seriously? What does that even mean?

5. I looked like Xavier Ong.
I had no idea who that was until I went to Google him and voila!

Do I look like him? I doubt so. I am definitely not saying that he's not good looking or I am not good looking. I just don't see how Steven Lim can derive that both this guy in the pic and me look similar. That's all.

6. He said I had a good complexion

This made me raged. I swear! I pride myself in ensuring that my skin does not break out that easily and I know my skin has not been at its best lately but to say I have a good complexion?!?! It's like telling a blind man that he's not blind! Ugh. I love to be praised, trust me, but not this way. It's either he's delusional or he just wants my money.

So after his whole talk, he asked if I had 100bucks in hand or in my bank account. I told him I did not bring much money out when I go to school, so he finally gave up and said to visit his website where his contact number can be found. Will I call him? No. Did he wasted my time? Definitely. To think I would throw in 100bucks and let you make me a "megastar"? You must be shitting balls!

Highlights of 2011

2011-11-22T21:11:00.001+08:00

As usual, time passes us by unknowingly and we're at the tail end of 2011! I must say 2011 has brought me lots of happiness and it helped redefine the meaning of life to me. Of course there were the occasional inevitable days where I just feel down but those do not outweigh the amount of love I've gotten from my loved one, my dearest friends and my family. It definitely was not smooth-sailing but it sure was worth the ride.

Some moments in my life that I think are more prominent in year 2011 was my 6 months attachment at Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa, which wasn't my choice but even then, I loved working there. Also, I failed my driver's license test, which made me cried like some baby. Somehow all the bad events that happened to me are rejection-based. Talk about tough love.

Of course, I didn't forget how happy I was when love brought me to the Zoo and Night Safari on my birthday, the amount of well wishes I received, the gifts that were showered on me, the surprise, the chalet with love, the 3 days 2 nights cruise on Royal Caribbean and the mere fact that I still have two of the bestest friends in the world.

As of now, I am looking forward to pass my next driving test and Canada trip on 17th! Till then, I should be posting more often! :)

Maybe it's time..

2011-11-22T20:46:00.003+08:00

time I came back to blogging. Life has given me a little too much to handle.

(It's Not) Goodbye.

2011-02-27T18:47:00.002+08:00

It's the end of the second semester and I've just realized I've not written a post for quite a while.

This semester, like any other, passed real quickly. And with every semester you make a few really close friends (and of course enemies but let's just keep this post emotional). So this is me, sharing with you those who might have made an impact in my life during this course of 4 months.

1. (Susan) Ang Wan Ting, KCarol Liew, Garell Khoong, Soh Xi Wen, Amanda Lee, Soong Wen Lin, Donald Tan

Wan Ting and I started out thinking we'll never make any real friends during the start of the semester, but like all human beings, we have our wrong moments. Knowing KC, Garell and the rest was like putting the missing puzzle pieces together. We made jokes at teachers whom made our day like hell, we webcam-ed even though we were in the same classroom, we gossiped throughout every second in class, we had our own groupie (named B.M.W.S. which meant Bitch, Mother Fucker, Whore and Slut.) Thank you, for making this 4 months interesting for me. :)

And with new friends comes old "besties".

2. Cheryl Tan, Sajuto Tio, Samuel Ho, Gillian Chua, Amin

These were the people who were there right from the start. The people who are like your shadow, always there but not saying a word. We went through a lot together as a class before and till today we still have each other's back. I love every single one of you, just for being there whenever I needed you and being my big brothers and sisters. :)

Attachment's here and we will be separated for 6 months but I'm sure we will still keep in touch. Till then, it's not goodbye. ;)

How do you describe sadness?

2011-01-19T12:05:00.000+08:00

Sadness, like so many other things, are indescribable, especially to someone who has no emotional reference point. In order to describe sadness you must be able to feel it. Even then, you may not be able to describe it verbally, but feel it enough to understand it. To describe sadness to someone, I would have to hurt the person. I will break what is most precious to them and destroy everything that they have ever loved. This is how I would describe sadness to someone.

Felt a sudden urge to write this post. Not because I am experiencing sadness but because I think it is really hurting to see other people sad. Somehow I always feel the hurt whenever I see someone sad even though it may have nothing to do with me. It may be the look in their eyes or the way they frown. Sometimes what's lost is lost forever. Whatever positive thoughts we hope for is just wishful thinking. NOT trying to be a emo nemo but that is the fact.

Happy 2011!

2011-01-02T15:23:00.002+08:00

2011 is here! A part of me was so looking forward to the new year and starting anew like the problems in 2010 were not brought over. But I know I still have to face them despite knowing it'll hurt. I just can't imagine the disappointment from my parents when they find out St Regis. didn't want their son as an intern.

Enough of not getting my first placement. One of the things I cannot really stand is how people like to ramble on about how we're nearing death cause 2012's nearing or even around mid 2011. Shouldn't people just live their lives happily and not worry about something that someone said who probably ain't absolutely right? Some may say its dark humour but soon it'll affect your perspective on life too. Trust me, have too much of something and it'll become a habit.

Okay, so with new year comes new resolutions. I haven't really been the kind of person who sets goals and stuff so doing a resolution itself is an achievement. Well, in 2011 I hope to -

Swim ONCE a week. Not because I wanna be fit and wear shirts that are 3 sizes smaller for my body but to keep myself healthy and to have a nice tan :)
Start using a PLANNER. I need to start getting my life on track, starting with a pocket planner so that I do not have to cancel on people and stuff.
$AVE. I realised I've been spending too much in 2010 to the extent that I have no spare cash for myself. I'm not saying I will completely not spend, but that will be when I am financially stable in terms of having a bank account that will not fluctuate.
Stop being so BITCHY. Yeah yeah, I know. I'm working on it. Try being nice to people who messed with you first. Urgh.
Get my DRIVING LICENSE. I'm taking my Basic Theory is a weeks' time and I'm hyped! Can't wait to drive around while I scoff at commuters on the public transport who would have to squeeze their boobs and asses to get on board.
Read at least one BOOK every month. I need to start developing hobbies cause as of now, the only hobbies I have is gluing my eyes to the laptop screen. NOT GOOD.
Learn a new SPORT. Yes, this links to point 6 where I just showed that I have no life at all. Tennis is on the top of my list. Bowling was good but I wanted something where I can be outdoors.
Be more APPRECIATIVE of the people around me. I do not deny that I tend to take people for granted and I hate that about myself. People always say "Do onto others what you want others to do onto you." but I just ignore that probably because people do not really notice.
To be more STUDIOUS. The little procrastinator in me has been the cause of my many worries during major tests or exams so hopefully in 2011 I will become a hardcore mugger. Maybe to the extent that I will drop from the social ladder and become a nerd. Yeah, that'll be great.
Stop being so PARANOID. If anyone is the greatest worrier it'll be me. I guess I am too focused about getting my life on the right track. It's time to tell myself to live and let live.
Stop speaking/writing SINGLISH. I don't know why but it's just me. The most common one that I think I use would be "eh" which I think is not even Singlish(?)

That's all that I can think of at the palm of my hand now. I have always been an optimist so I know 2011 will be better. At least it started out good. :)

Here's to starting over.

2010-12-29T14:23:00.003+08:00

It's almost the end of 2010! Tonnes of things have happened ever since my last post and I think it would be good to have them penned down in my most probably last entry for the 2010.

Somewhere between the last entry till now, I went for an internship interview at St. Regis Singapore. I still remember the joy when they called me while I was stuck in the middle of a super boring lesson. I was literally bursting for joy that I think everyone in the classroom thought I was going crazy but that did not stop me because the day I've been looking for was here and I've spent a commendable amount of my time researching on the hotel and studying about its heritage. Interview day came, I was on a cab feeling all nerve-wrecked and blessed. Somehow it just occurred to me that I am lucky to be where I am today and whatever happens, happens.

Everything went as planned and I remember walking out of the interview feeling relieved and happy. Then came the harsh reality - St. Regis has already called the 2 interns and I was not one of them. Somehow the feeling of loss overwhelmed me and needless to say, I was dejected.

Somehow to me, it wasn't the feeling of being rejected that I felt sad for. It's the feeling of doing your best and not seeing ANY results coming out of it. Same like how I tried out for Bowling IG in my first year and being told I didn't make the cut.

However, life is not always a bed of thorns. I have friends to thank who have shown their care and concern for me. I will get over it. It's just a matter of time. I have family who knows how to live a wonderful life. I have loved ones who never fail to make me smile even when I'm down or angry. Truth is, 2010 wasn't really a bad year. It was just a year for me to try. At least that's the first step before you can really succeed. :)

(Trying) to be a Concierge.

2010-11-28T17:47:00.000+08:00

UT1 was over and I thought I can finally breathe again but UT2 is just around the corner even faster than I can shout "Hooray!" Call me kiasu or whatever but I just think there is a need for me to do well for the second test since the first one was kind of screwed up. I guess the real difficulty is that everything is so practical and there's research that I need to do on my own. ):

Tattoo update! Both Momo and Pops disagreed vehemently towards my idea of getting a tattoo. Actually, it was only Pops. I told him while he was making coffee and I was in the showers and I think he kind of overreacted although he did not really tell me why I can't get a tattoo. Momo got to know about the tattoo idea through Pops at dinner (as always) and she asked where I wanted to put the tattoo which got me excited as I thought there was a chance but after I told her I wanted one around my ankle she just disapprove in the gentlest way, like there was some dark reasons behind why she did not allow me to get a tattoo.

Other than that, school's just being a bitch. Everything's so clustered together, there's understanding test 2 and interviews and what-nots for internship and there's understanding test 3 and there's people you just can't work with. Somehow one of our class facilitators have managed to enforce a punishment for students who are coming late to class by asking them to sing which was a really bad idea considering the fact that I assume no one in class takes singing lessons and they are belting out songs from artistes that I really like such as Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga. So now I am most likely never going to listen to "Time for Miracles", "Bad Romance" and "Happy Birthday". Yes, the last one being the song that we sing a few times every year. NOW STOP BEING LATE!

"Mummy, can I get a tattoo?"

2010-11-21T19:59:00.000+08:00

Okay, I have been thinking of getting a tattoo since forever. I don't know when I started obsessing over body art but I really think it is nice to have something that speaks of you or something that brings out your morale. That being said, I am not a big fan of a full body art which I doubt I will be up for considering I am in the Hospitality industry and I may come to regret it one day.

Now the difficult part is to convince my parents. This is one of the things that I cannot do behind their backs because if I am going to get the tattoo at a prominent area then I wouldn't want to walk around the house covering those areas all the time. I don't want to get a tattoo only to get busted and brought back to the tattoo parlour to have it removed.

Talking about prominent areas, I have looked through a lot of photos and I just love how the tattoos are at specific areas of the body that makes it so sexyyyy! Some photos to show you what I'm talking about:

Mummy, can I have a tattoo please?

Date to remember.

2010-10-25T20:01:00.000+08:00

It's October the 25th people! :)

I feel that there are many things that are worth being happy for happening on this very day so I decided to make a blog post about it. Hahah, normally I don't do such things but there is always a first time, right?

Firstly, things that are close to the heart. No, I'm not attached. My closest friend, A, who is like a sister to me has just pass her driving! *claps claps* Now we have 2 drivers in P10 who can drive us around. :) Hopefully I pass mine in one try. The pressure is on!

Secondly, a big huge ass happy birthday to Katy Perry!!! I don't know if you guys know but I am a super huge fan of Katy Perry. FYI, Katy Perry is named the hottest woman alive by Maxim! So you can just imagine how hot she is. Also, she's recently married to Russell Brand! Other than that, I love her music and I love her personality and I hope she holds a concert in Singapore! Happy 26th Mrs Brand! :)

Thirdly, Taylor Swift's album, Speak Now, is released today. I am also a big fan of Taylor Swift's song because I feel that she is one of the most talented singer-songwriter I've ever come across. Her songs speak her life story and touched so many people lives. Remember the song "Love Story"? :)

Lastly, this date marks the celebration of the most important food (to me and maybe A and S)! Today is World Pasta Day! I am super in love with pasta especially affordable pasta from Pastamania! I have tried pastas from other restaurants too and I love them but sadly I don't remember their names. :P

Okay, so I guess that's about it. Somehow I just feel so happy knowing so many happy stuff are happening on the exact same day. Hope everyone had a good Monday too!

13 days! :)

Second Semester.

2010-10-15T22:22:00.000+08:00

As all of you should know by now, school term has started and I, or rather everyone, is back to their daily routine again. As always, we were made to change classes every semester and this semester was no exception albeit the Pulau Ubin camp which was held to allow us to bond closer. Ironic.

After spending one week with my classmates, I would say they are fine. Most of them are mutual friends so I was able to adapt to the class quickly. Of course, I am really blessed to have classmates of previous semester to join me in this semester, especially Wan Ting Azah and Eda, whom I'm really grateful for! :) I must also say I am really lucky that I do not have anyone in my class whom I am on bad terms with. (Cheryl and Samuel, my heart goes out for you!) It's hasn't even been one week and bitches have emerged like a sore thumb. Shall not elaborate much here but the people of E56N of Year 2010 have done absolutely nothing wrong so don't even try messing with us.

Till then, I have my eyes set on you people. You know better.

Grandparents.

2010-09-29T20:10:00.001+08:00

Being brought up since young by my grandparents, I always thought growing up in an environment like those of our grandparents were the best. They wake up and are not pressured by the hectic lifestyles of the masses that society has moulded people to become part of. I remember growing up and spending most of my days after school at my grandparents'. A usual routine of my day at my grandparents' would be a 10 to 15 minute school bus ride to the road opposite my grandparents'. Sometimes before the bus reaches, I would take a peep to see who would be there to fetch me. Sometimes, it would be Granny and other days it would be Gramps. Once in a while when I'm lucky both of them will be there, waiting for me be it rain or shine.When we reached, I would then follow the usual routine of bath-homework-television. Sometimes if time permits I would sneak in some time for napping too. Occasionally I would be brought to the playground where other kids around my age mingled and my grandparents would talk to other grandparents-alike while they keep a look out for their grandchildren. When night time came, I would await the arrival of my family for dinner before heading back home. It's life like these that I yearn for even today.A decade passed and many things have happened. The day when Gramps passed was a day that will always seem like yesterday. I can still remember the look on Granny's face and how devastated everyone was. It was my first encounter with the harsh reality of death so it impacted me a lot in some way. Everything may seem fine for a minute but before I knew it someone whom I've been brought up by has left. And trust me, it was not easy dealing with death nor the heartbreak.Granny, on the other hand, has been my closest companion since. I always told people I'm closer to my granny than to my parents, which was normal for me since most of my childhood days were encrypted mostly with memories of my days spent at my grandparents'. I love the fact that Granny has always been strong. She is not the typical maiden nor the princess. If I had to describe her she would be tough, straight-forward, crude, funny, and everything in between. Today, she's making steamboat for my whole family. My family still goes over for dinner four times a week just like how we did a decade ago. Nothing's changed, and I'm happy things stayed this way. Somehow a part of me still feels that having dinner at my granny's still makes me the kid I was a decade ago: Carefree and playful.
Cherish your grandparents. They may not understand your wants and needs but they will always be there to see you through your toughest times and they'll love you just like how your parents do. :)

You heard me.

2010-06-06T01:21:00.002+08:00

Moi is back! Did you miss moi?! Hehe. :D

Moi is into the fifth week of school! Made quite a few friends already and has settled down into class! Now it's test period and moi needs to study~

The end! (Abrupt ending).

A.

Hope It Gives You Hell.

2010-04-25T17:38:00.001+08:00

School has been boring boring boring! Been a few rough weeks in school. Managed to make a few classmates who are pretty funny but that's all. It has all been about grooming and what not! But I have kind of gotten used to it already so all's well now.

Grades wise, still working on it. I have really nice people as my facilitators and I am glad none are acting weird. The As need to be in this week!

Other than that, life's been pretty mundane! I have a few things that I need to buy! HTC Hero! New Sanuk's (or any other brands)! Ok gotta go!

Xoxo,
A.

Stop telephoning me eh eh eh~

Officially Missing You

2010-03-19T22:49:00.001+08:00

Okay okay, I know I said I will post soon but just saw this awesome video! Was listening to Janice & Sonia singing Officially Missing You (Original song by Tamia) and I came across another one which was nice too:

If you haven't seen the one by J & S, it's here:

I IS BACK!

2010-03-19T22:15:00.000+08:00

I know you must be wondering where the hell did I go to, but voila! I am back! :)

2010 has been a mad mad busy year for me which is the main reason why(excuses only) I hadn't had the time to update this poor old blog of mine. Let me just run through some of the main events that happened from January till now.

January: Busy with school school school! Apparently we were nearing our last exam and so I was studying very hard during that point in time. Celebrated Yuwon Ng and Benjamin Liew's 18th birthday! :)

February: Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year fell on the same date! And it so happens to mark the start of our school holidays too! Sooo I went to Malaysia (Sunway Lagoon to be exact) for 3D2N which was fun because I got to indulge myself in A&W and shopping. Watched 14 blades there which was mad cheap! One ticket was going for SGD6 bucks? And then it was the normal routine of house visiting and collection of red packets after that. Celebrated Vanessa's birthday and A's birthday too! :D

March: Work work work! Nothing much anyway. Work was pretty much the way you expect office jobs to be. Regular timing and glued to the computer the whole day. Just finished work today and all relieved! Going for a one day job @ NUH tomorrow! :D Mad early! Must reach there by 8.15am but planning to reach @ 8 because I am positive that I will get lost looking for the room which I am suppose to report to.

Alright, shall update till here! Can't wait for 3 week work to start and clique chalet which is nearing! :D

Happy 2010

2010-01-02T23:19:00.006+08:00

HAPPY 2010 PEOPLE!

I know I haven't been blogging much. Sad much? :)

As such, one of my new year resolutions for 2010 will be to BLOG MORE. :D I promise you guys once I have everything settled I will blog frequently and maybe even change a new blogskin!

For now, I'll just leave it as it is! Though it kind of gets boring. Heh. :x

Forever and Always,

Alex.

Lots have happened.

2009-12-11T23:29:00.003+08:00

A lot of things have happened recently and all I can say now is I'm relieved it's all over. School has been great as usual but not the tests and projects. Anyway, I saw this group on Facebook a few days ago. The group name was "You know you're an RP student when......" Being curious, I actually clicked on it and found tonnes of interesting posts by people assumable to be RP students! Haha. Here are some of which I cropped from the wall:

Haha! Most them are true and totally relates to me okay! I especially like the one about the security guard(which is fucking true!) and the one about the fingers being well developed. Haha. The one on warning letters becoming greeting cards too! Haha! Okay okay, holidays start on the 15th for me! But need to spend time to study for my Math and FA. All the way, Lexy! :D

2009-11-27T15:37:00.000+08:00

What my Friday was spent on. :)

November's almost over.

2009-11-22T13:36:00.006+08:00

Something I did out of boredom. But I love it. :)

November's almost over! It's scary how time flies! 2009 has been a splendid year and I must say I've faced lots of problems but nonetheless I manage to pull it through! I AM NOT LEXY FOR NOTHING! Heh. One of the most painful memories was being rejected from RP's bowling IG. I still remember I really wanted to get into that IG as it was something I can do well in but they still rejected me in the end. I still remember coming back home and Momo was asking me how it went and I told her I was rejected and she kept asking me whether I was alright and I have to keep lying to her telling her I'm fine and forcing a smile when it fact I am really upset.

OH WELL, it's all over so there's not much to talk about. Haha.

I can smell December air! Which means it's Christmas! This year, Momo got the company's chalet for 4 days 3 nights so I'm ecstatic! Momo was telling me that we should thank Gramps because she actually prayed to Gramps in letting her get the chalet, and Momo really did!

Thank you Gramps, I know you are ALWAYS watching from above! :)

Lots of love from Lexy.

xoxoxo.

Paying you with your own coins.

2009-11-18T20:45:00.004+08:00

This, my dear friends, is my wallpaper now! Ain't it pretty? :D

Okay, so this week has been a very busy week. UTs are just over and lessons are getting harder to comprehend week by week. I am so looking forward to the 2 weeks holidays! :/ Although time have to be spent on the upcoming tests(again). Class politics have started, at least for me, and all I can say is: Bring it on, we'll see who begs for mercy.

Not being bitchy or anything, just protecting myself. I am definitely not some trouble maker who stirs trouble in tranquility but I am also definitely not someone who suffers in silence. So it's either going with the flow or facing each other at gunpoint. Metaphorically.

Again, not being bitchy! Just doing what I think is right! :D

Looking forward to Friday's Seoul and Saturday's charity work! :)

Surreal.

2009-11-16T22:11:00.004+08:00

This is what I'm kind of feeling right now: Surreal.

Today marks the end of the very first Understanding Test and I must say I feel much much liberated. School has been taking a toll on me and I can't wait for the 2nd and last Understanding Tests to be over. This week is pretty packed! :D

Sidenote: Kind of nervous about my test results. Hope they'll turn out fine. :)

I am so tired today! Me, being the goodie two shoes I normally am, slept at 10.30PM(!!!!!!) and woke up @ 4.30AM(!!!!). So I sat on my bed and listened to my iPod for two hours. X.X

Math tomorrow. Wish me luck. :/

Mundane Sunday.

2009-11-15T18:15:00.004+08:00

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING UT TOMORROW.
Wish me all the best. Haha. Cause I think I'm gonna need it.
BUT, good thing is, I've studied for it. Today. All 5 problems.

Finally, after tomorrow the first UT will be over. Time seems to pass really fast and soon, I'll be in my second year. Speaking of which, I can't wait to be in the second year, or even third! Attachments are waiting for me and I heard there's gonna be cooking! Can't wait!

Went for kite flying yesterday @ Pasir Ris park. No photos cause before that, I went for a hair cut and we went straight to Pasir Ris without going home. After that, it rained and we proceeded to MINDS cafe for board games! :D At first we were kind of pissed with all the people laughing loudly but in the end, we ourselves laughed the loudest. Ironic much? X.X

I need movies. I need Seoul Garden. I need lots of things.

Maybe it's time I leave things to its own course. Cause I'm tired of being in charge and nothing happens.

2009-11-11T19:44:00.005+08:00

Math is seriously driving me bonkers.
Math Understanding Test 1 - Friday 13th November
Financial Accounting Understanding Test 1 - Monday 16th November.

Please pray for me. X.X Haha. I know I make it sound like some big ass problem but it really is to me considering that I have to do my best in this semester despite my 2 weakest modules.

Why can't I be in Year 2 now, where I'll be free from Math and Financial Accounting. :/ 

Seventeenth.

2009-11-08T00:45:00.004+08:00

Just a few photos to summarize my seventeenth birthday.

Sometimes there is no need in typing too many words, because after all, not everything can be explained using words.

One word to summarize my seventeenth: Awesome.

Geek mode.

MARKETING UT TODAY. ZOMGWTFBBQ

I'm doing the whole "Do your best and God will do the rest" thing all over again. Please, no accidents for Marketing UT.

On a lighter note, 2 more days. :)

Reflections.

2009-11-03T11:49:00.003+08:00

They say jealousy kills. How about guilt?

So today I was with my friends in the canteen gossiping as usual and I suddenly let out a comment loud enough to be heard by the other group of people beside me. So they started to stare, or rather kept looking at me and I was confused as to why. When they were leaving, I realized that I might have said something that could have MENTALLY hurt that person. & now I'm ranting here because I feel kind of guilty.

But seriously, I really need to be more aware of my every word and action. I myself have been through what it's like to be mentally hurt before, so all the more I shouldn't do these kind of thing. However, I am NOT saying one has no right to gossip. I find nothing wrong in gossiping cause everyone does it and it's a form of communication but one has to definitely do it with discretion. In my case, I feel bad because I said something which may have indirectly hurt someone. It was more of speaking without thinking than being rash.

Ahhhh, fuck myself.

So so sorry to the person whom I may have offended. :/

They say condemnation kills, I say it sometime feeds on the person's conscience too.

RING DING DONG.

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY TO MY BLOG!

2009-10-11T19:21:00.007+08:00

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY TO MY BLOG! :D

Yes, my blog is that old. (One blog year = 10 human years)

Haha, I'm so kidding. BUT my blog really is 4 years old today! I woke up today and had this weird feeling that it's a special day and I was right! :D

I srsly love my blog. Ever since the time I started it (before that it was famously known as problemistic.blogspot.com and other weird variations which I don't bother to remember) but around Secondary 3 I coined the word Lexamous and behold, LEXAMOUS.BLOGSPOT.COM! :D

Thanks for all my faithful readers! I may not have the best entertainment blog but I sure do try! :D Love you guys loads! Xoxo.

School for the first week.

2009-10-10T15:42:00.003+08:00

School has been mundane. Boringly mundane.

Semester two has set in and I'm trying my very best to be the best (or at least be in the Roll of Honors) in this semester. Last semester was fine but not good enough. :/ Other than that, my modules for Semester two suck balls:

- Cognitive Processes and Problem Solving II
- Mathematics II
- Financial Accounting
- Marketing
- Entrepreneurship

Yes, it's all coming back to haunt me now. I thought the last I saw of them was @ the hall in North View where tonnes of people, including me, struggled to attempt the papers but apparently I was wrong. I just hope that I'll do better this time. :)

As for my social life, I've made quite a few friends in my new class. Which is miraculous given the fact that I'm not really likable. :D But I should be able to hang on. :)

My life's getting boring. Seriously.

2009-10-04T16:18:00.002+08:00

Holidays are over!

2009-10-02T21:28:00.004+08:00

Not literally over yet, but it can be seen as over given the fact that it's already Friday night. :/

However, I must say that this has been one of the most amazing break that I've had. Even the word "amazing" to describe my holidays is an understatement.

Okay, I remembered that I had a general list of things to do during the holidays which was:

Getting fat.
Dyeing my hair back to black.
Getting myself a new bag. Again.
Sleeping more to get rid of eye-bags.
Most importantly, meet up with the lovely people before reality starts.

Well, I did not really did accordingly to this list. In fact, during the holidays I did:

Dye my hair black.
Had a haircut.
Watched Season 1 & 2 of Gossip Girl.
Meet up with the lovely people. (Especially Adel and Serena)
Found album artwork for the songs in my ipod.
Played with Pet Society like crazy.

And if given more time I would love to:

Meet up MORE with my lovely people.
Sleep MORE.
Watch 90210 and House.
Watch Phobia 2 in movies.
Go on a short/one day trip to Malaysia with lovely people.

How's that for a review of my holidays? Haha. :D

Saying my holidays were fun would do injustice to it. I met Clique for chalet and it was the best catch-up session yet. We talked about problems and who we hate in our own classes etc etc. Then after that it was frequent meet-ups with Adel and Serena, who happen to be two of the craziest girls. During this period we have watched movies, go rollerblading, taking incessant web-cam photos, "shopping" and tonnes of stuff. While we were @ that, we embarrassed ourselves too! & me being the sporting one, shall share my embarrassing moment:

So Adel, Serena and I were @ Starbucks. Before that I was with Adel apparently shopping for presents(for her own) while waiting for Serena to finish work. So we met Serena after that and we proceeded to Starbucks. Just after we've placed our orders.....

Barista : So let me repeat your order: One tall chocolate, one tall caramel and one tall chocolate chip. Would that be all?
Me: *Thinking he was asking for my name.* Alex.
Barista : *Giving the confused look and trying very hard not to laugh.*
Me: *Thinking he doesn't know how to spell my name and was about to spell out my name when Serena stopped me*
Serena: What you doing? He's not asking for your name lah! He confirming order!
Me: Oh. LOL.
Serena & Adel: LOL

IN MY DEFENSE I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE BARRISTER WAS TALKING IN A RATHER SOFT TONE SO I COULDN'T REALLY HEAR WHAT HE WAS SAYING!

Yes, laugh all you want cause I believe people should spread joy.

Till then, I will blog about my new class soon. If you're wondering my class, GPA etc just ask me through MSN. Not that I will definitely tell you anything. :P

(Some) Annoying Things To Do On An Elevator

Say “~DING!!” at each floor.

Say “I wonder what all these do?” And push all the red buttons.

Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers: “This is my personal space.”

Drop a pen and wail until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream: “THAT’S MINE!!”

Chalet was fucking awesome. :D

2009-09-16T22:46:00.001+08:00

This photo says it all. :D

Badminton workout.

2009-09-12T23:04:00.002+08:00

I am so tired I could most probably sleep till tomorrow afternoon.

Went for badminton today with Alan, Gary, sister and boyfriend. After that sister's boyfriend's brother and sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend came and joined us. No kidding, I am speaking the truth. Haha! Am super shagged now and I GOTTA FEELING that my arms and legs will cramp later in the middle of the night. :\

Might be going out tomorrow. Orchard most probably. :D

That's what I look like right now. All flustered and restless.

I can't stop listening to Honor Society. I don't know why.

& it's 6 more days to disgusting Alan's birthday.

& holidays are passing so fast. It's already almost mid September. :\

Roller-blading

2009-09-11T20:52:00.003+08:00

Okay, so Serena, BH and I decided to go to some park (OMFG I forgot what park is that!) and roller blade and cycle. Adel was supposed to join us but got sick on the last minute. :|

Joke of the day?

Serena: *Day-dreaming*
Me: *Starring into space*
BH: 66 x 3 = 99!
Serena and Me: *Look at each other* LOL!

Okay okay, photos! But I do not have photos of me roller blading or anything, cause I don't know how I can take a photo of myself roller blading which I think is rather tardy. :|

I hate it when my hair flies everywhere. Serena and me! :D

BH and me! God knows how long have I not seen her! :\ <3

Love this shot! :D

Me acting real scary. :D

Chalet's on Monday! Can't wait. :)

Drink loads of water people! Weather's been horrible nowadays. Get well soon Adel and whoever's sick!

Love from Lexy. Xoxo.

Belated to-do list. :|

2009-09-10T16:29:00.004+08:00

I was supposed to come up with a to-do list for the holidays but somehow I got caught up doing loads of things that I ended up not doing one. :|

So anyway, some of the things I wanted to do included:
- Getting fat. (Will get back to that.)
- Dyeing my hair back to black.
- Getting myself a new bag. Again.
- Sleeping more to get rid of eye-bags.
- Most importantly, meet up with the lovely people before reality starts.

So for the get fat part, remember the challenge I set for myself? Yeah, I got sick right after that and now I don't know how much I weigh but everything's going fine and I'm feeling so much better now so I'll update you guys on my weight most probably in a weeks' time.

The reason why I wanted to dye my hair back to black is because I'm sick and tired of looking @ my head and seeing an array of colors. Okay, maybe two colors but who cares anyway? And I look kinda old with colored hair. But still not old enough to walk into an NC16 movie without having to show my ID. And I know some of you would be asking then why would I dye my hair in the first place. People make mistakes. You acknowledge them and move on!

I need to get myself a new bag because I'm obsessed with bags and I got bored of my old one. :D & also, sleeping in to get rid of my hideous eye-bags. Apparently till now it doesn't work so if it still doesn't go away when school starts, I'm gonna need to buy patches for it.

Yep, and the most important point would be to meet up with the Clique. Been doing that a lot lately with Adel and Serena. The others are either working or caught up in schoolwork. But not to worry cause coming this Monday, we're having a chalet! :D

Envy much?

Everything will be okay.

2009-09-09T19:16:00.000+08:00

Pictures.

2009-09-09T18:57:00.003+08:00

Just random photos that were taken. Some may be a while back and some are just a few days ago:

Yep, we may be crazy but we're just being ourselves. Haha. :)

Bored.

2009-09-09T18:42:00.006+08:00

LIES. I've burnt them.

Holidays have been super boring. Till now I've done nothing much except go out with Adel and Serena numerous times and acting like idiots in front of the webcam, or when 3 people went to Seoul Garden despite the fact that all 3 of them have sore throats. Haha.

Once again, whenever I'm bored I'll do a new blog skin. Haha. Hope you guys love this one. If you don't then I feel sad for you cause nobody loves you too. :) New song too! By Jessie James. :D

Will post up some photos of the webcam photos we took in a while :) In the meantime, if I've never seen you in a while and you wanna say hi!, go to the tagboard! :D

Xoxo,
A.

I CAN FINALLY POST!

2009-08-27T23:56:00.002+08:00

GOD BLESS ME!

I know I've said that I will post right after my tests but Blogger has been sucha dumb dumb so I had to postpone it. So here I am! HELLO EVERYDAY! HOW DO YOU DO?!?! :D

ANYWAY my tests have been over and it's holidays now! :D Have taken quite a few photos with my lovely class people! Here are some of them:

ME AND NYSSA DARLING! :D

ME AND MEIGO! :D

ME AND FENCIN' PARTNER STELLA. :D

STELLA TAKE #2.

MEIGO TAKE #2

STELLA TAKE #3

MEIGO AND I WERE PRACTICALLY MAD AND STOOD ON THE TABLE..

ME AND PARIAH JOEY! HAHA! :D

ME AND PARIS LOVIN' DAINAH!

ME AND DIMPLE BOY HUSNI!

ME AND LAUGHIN' PARTNER LINA! :D

That sort of sums up my first semester. Crazy but memorable. :)

Okay, now on to the next topic, which is a challenge made by myself FOR MYSELF!

I like to call it the GET FAT! Challenge:

The purpose of this challenge, as the name suggests, is to make myself grow fat in this holiday period! No medication of whatever! PURE FATS! So some additional things which I may do this month would be to sleep in for a few hours, have lunch ON THE DOT!, taking an afternoon nap, do nothing but slack in front of my laptop/television the whole day. Whatever it is, I would try to get myself a couple of pounds heavier before school semester starts! Then, I will put up my current weight now and in ONE MONTHS' TIME, which is roughly around 1st October, I would announce my weight again! :D

My current weight now is: 44.2kg!

In the meantime, I will keep you guys updated on the process of the challenge! :D Meanwhile, you can tell me(on my tagboard, that is) whether you think I will succeed in this challenge! Till then, I'll frequent here quite a while to share some wonderful stuff with you guys!

Xoxo,
A.

HELP.

2009-08-25T17:13:00.001+08:00

SOMETHING'S VERY WRONG WITH MY BLOGGER.

OMG!

2009-08-16T01:53:00.005+08:00

I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO POST FOR SUCH A LONG TIME!

I have been super duper busy lately and thus I did not have the time. It's tests after projects and it just goes on like a cycle. Hope my hardcore fans are still here! Haha. I promise you guys I will start posting pictures as soon as my exams are over, which is on the 25th of August! :D

Meanwhile, just keep looking at me! :D

Someone said I look cute. HAHA. Now I shyshy.com! LOL.

Formal wear.

2009-07-27T08:20:00.003+08:00

Hello. I am currently in school now. Haha.

Okay, that just sounded very monotonous. :/

Okay! Am just gonna post up some photos during Enterprise class last Thursday! :)

SHINee!

2009-07-17T19:39:00.002+08:00

I don't think I have to use words to express their awesome-ness.

TAEMIN IS THE BOMB YO! :)

Overwhelming Clumsiness.

2009-07-15T19:44:00.004+08:00

Recently I've realised how clumsy a person I am. Not just the ordinary clumsy. But clumsy to the max! If there were to be a competition where people come together to compete clumsiness I would most probably win the entire competition. The judges don't even have to bate an eyelid to know who's the winner. Here are some reasons why:

I can cycle and end up almost falling down a slope of no return.

I can walk into a wrong classroom and still wonder where I'm sitting at.

I can drive a go-kart and collide against the wall even though it was travelling at only 15km/h.

I can shampoo myself and 5 minutes later forget about it and shampoo myself again.

I can trip even when there's nothing to trip me over.

I can take a wrong bus and end up using half an hour to get to Yishun interchange. FROM Yishun.

I can accidentally cut myself and not know it till moments later when someone tells me or I realise it myself.

That's not my point. My point is: I don't seem to grow out of it. And that is what worries me. Imagine me 40 years down the road (if I'm still alive and rockin) and I decided to go cycling. And I fall down the same slope again. I might not be able to just stand up and pretend nothing happened. More likely I would be using all the force that I have to TRY and stand up while supporting my back with one hand.

Maybe I should consider sending myself to an old folks' home when I age. If it's applicable.

2009-07-09T20:14:00.002+08:00

TO: TAN HAI TING DEAREST

HAVE A BLESSED NINETEENTH!

May all your wishes come true! Enjoy it to the fullest okay? Love yea!

Corny pick-up lines.

2009-07-08T18:46:00.002+08:00

Okay so recently my class has been super obsessed with this whole pick-up line thing and some of them have been going around harassing different people with super cheesy to the max pick-up lines and making people(read: me) cringe. Things like:

"Do you have a map? Cause I am lost in your eyes."

OR

"Is your father a thief? Cause someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes."

and this is one of my favourites:

*Searching frantically through all your pockets*
Guy/girl: "What are you searching for?"
Person replies: "I'm searching for your smile" OR "I'm searching for the key to your heart."

Yep, all these makes my hair stand on ends. Haha! I don't know how would people actually react to these sort of stuff when they hear it but if someone actually said that to me I think I might actually faint. And not for a good cause. I'll faint because I would have cringe to the effect of my soul escaping from my body. Just be natural and be yourself. Nobody likes a facade. :)

Cognitive UT was average, easier than the previous one. Okay, need to finish up my Journal now. Till then, stay away from pick-up lines. Haha.

One last pick-up line that I found which I think is super funny and cheesy at the same time:

"Your name must be Mickey because you're so fine."

UT's a bitch.

2009-07-07T20:27:00.003+08:00

I don't think I will be making any concrete posts as of these two weeks. Blame it on tests that are coming up plus it's everything we've learned from the starting of the term till now plus I missed out quite a lot while I was happily having the fun of my life in Korea.

Promise I'll get ma blog up as soon as this nightmare is over.

Till then, I have changed my blogskin (hope you guys like it) and added twitter to my blog so now I can semi-update on what I'm doing, since twitter is so user-friendly. :)

xoxo,

Freaking cute advertisement! Enjoy! :D

Change.

2009-07-02T22:15:00.005+08:00

I seriously hate it when grams mention that she's gonna pass on very soon. Not hate as in hate, but hate as in don't wanna think about it. Because hearing it reminds me of 1) how I cried uncontrollably when grampa passed on and 2) makes me wonder what will happen to me when grams pass on. I didn't grow up in a typical family environment. I resided with my grandparents since young till mid primary school and they mean everything to me. They really do.

I AM BACK!

2009-06-30T18:18:00.003+08:00

I AM BACK!

Like 4 days ago.

Haha, how is everyone?! Korea was awesome to the max! Will blog about it together with my 600+ photos taken there, though I may not show all. Haha. Recently I am super busy with stuff I shouldn't even be busy over. Everything has been pretty chaotic too ever since RP started to have some students and staffs who have contracted H1N1 and every year 1 students have to e-learn from home.

Speaking of e-learning, how the hell are we supposed to elearn?!?! We are able to e-learn in secondary school because the things taught are fixed and you don't have to rover all around the internet looking for different theories or whatsoever. So, my point is:

WHY E-LEARN WHEN NOTHING GETS IN?

Furthermore, whatever we "e-learn" MIGHT be tested on our understanding tests, which is technically nothing and all we will get is an F grade. So much for e-learning. How are we suppose to know whether whatever we've found are the correct exact information that is meant to be taught to us?

I hate e-learning. Period.

Sidenote: I miss clique! Wanna meet up with you guys soon alright? (:

bye!

2009-06-18T18:55:00.003+08:00

Seems like I still have time to post, so here I am! :D

I will be gone till the 26th, so if you need to find me urgently feel free to text me! :D

Here are the photos for those who received my text!

Okay, I will miss you guys! Must miss me too okay?! HAHA! For those who did not receive my text just take it that I'm being narcissistic! :D

LEXY LOVES YOU! :)

tomorrow!

2009-06-17T20:36:00.004+08:00

I AM HERE AGAIN! It's seems like this blog is not gonna be updated for a week or so and I'm kinda gonna miss it. Haha. Sheena just sent me another batch of Sentosa photos(thank you!) so I'm gonna post them now, since I said I will post everything before I leave. If not I can imagine the stacks of photos piling up after the trip!

Okay, I think I will be blogging one last time before I leave tomorrow! If I don't then here's goodbye! Haha! Will see you guys in a weeks' time! :D

xoxo,
A.

Sentosa photos.

2009-06-16T20:51:00.003+08:00

Okay before I start, let me just say: SCHOOL WAS CRAZY TODAY!
Stella and Haiqal never fail to make me laugh, no matter how hard I try not to. Haha(:

Just in case if you're wondering who I'm talking about. The photo speaks everything. No wonder they always say "A picture speaks a thousand words". Haha(:

The photo was taken some time ago, just wanted to show you how hilarious both of them can be. Haha. So I have to sit between the both of them today and laughed throughout the whole lesson while they did baby talk and danced around. Haha.

NOT TO FORGET! My boy came over to RP today and up to my classroom! Haha. So I was busy and I asked him to buy me food so he was sort of my delivery man for the day! :D THANKS ALOT MY BOY! XOXO! Haha! Cause I made him deliver two times! :P

Okay, back to the point! Photos!!

That's all I have for now! :D I kinda miss my old hair. Haha. 2 MORE DAYS! :D

PB Camp photos.

2009-06-15T19:16:00.004+08:00

SCHOOL HAS STARTED, AND IT STINKS.

Imagine having to study on polarity and dipole on a MONDAY morning.
Okay, am gonna post the photos and go off! Have yet to finish packing! :P

I miss the OLD prefectorial board. ):
Sometimes some things just cannot be replaced..

I sound fucking moody, which I'm not. HAHA. :D
3 MORE DAYS. :DDDD

Clique Outing Photo Batch #2

2009-06-12T13:26:00.003+08:00

YOYOYO! What goes on around here?! Haha. Okay. I'm actually rather depressed now cause I need to post up photos. Tonnes.

Finally! Haha. That concludes the photos from our Clique Outing. As you can see, we took loads of photos and stuff, so what are the side effects?

SIDE EFFECTS OF TAKING TOO MANY PHOTOS:

You start getting Very high.
Stoning.
Boredom.
Looking like you've just struck lottery.
Old age and illness.
Ending up begging on the streets.

Sentosa!

2009-06-10T18:23:00.003+08:00

Yeah, I know. I've gotten myself into a lot of trouble. Photo trouble.

I've yet to finish uploading the clique outing photos from Sheena's camera, the photos from PB camp and now I've another bunch of Sentosa photos which I just took. It's times like these I would say: "Die lah!"

But it was definitely worth it. Haha! Cause I saw some of them whom I might not see for a while because of my trip! Love them to bits! & I saw my boy! Like finally! Haha! Miss him loads! He has six packs now! So if you dare bully me I'll ask him to box you to outerspace! :D

Other than that, wonderful wonderful day. Thanks again peeps! It's times like these I thank whoever's watching over me for all of you.

9 days!

2009-06-09T12:18:00.003+08:00

WASSUP?? Haha. Okay, am here to upload the photos taken during the Clique outing! I am just gonna post up Part 1 today, the part where we were all at the MINT museum. Cause there are tonnes of photos and I'm lazy. :P

Okay, here you have it! I didn't post up all cause some were rather X-rated. Haha! Promise I will post all photos up before I leave for my trip! :D

12 more days.

2009-06-06T13:52:00.003+08:00

Okay, I have tonnes of photos to upload so give me some time okay? Promise to upload them ASAP! :D These are some of the photos taken while at the Photography talk 3 days ago. Apparently we were the loudest group despite having only 3 people. Not to forget the speaker's voice lulling across the room, the 5 people behind us who can't seem to get a hold of themselves and the freaking woman seated behind me who decided to burp so loudly and said: "At least I didn't fart". Good times...

Okay, now for me to start uploading other photos! :D

2009-06-01T22:12:00.002+08:00

In the blink of an eye, we've approached half the year. Some felt like they've ran a full marathon, whereas some may take it as a brisk walk in the park. For me, it was somehow like an ultra marathon, where things seem to just touch-and-go. Maybe it's time I learn how to slow down my pace and appreciate things around me.

Maybe it's time I face the truth.

The truth that has been a facade for a long, long time.

Confessions.

A rainbow is nature's smile unside down.

When I asked you that question,
I was hoping your answer would be "No."
but I guess all this while I must be stupid,
to have ever believed you.
Cause all you ever wanted was just fun.

term break.

2009-05-31T00:33:00.003+08:00

I AM BACK! *smiles gleefully*

I know I know this blog looks abandoned, but it's not! Cause the almighty owner is back! Haha! School has been pretty hectic for me and I'm STILL trying my best to at least fit properly, so as to speak, into RP. Yeah, I know. One month plus and I'm still a pathetic a-hole that can't get used to use-laptop-everyday life. The chances of my survival are like nil.

Okay, enough of that! Since I'm here, I might as well show you guys some videos! Both were actually introduced to me and I found them rather interesting! Take a look(:

This one's actually three guys who decided to clad themselves in glitter and dance(or move uglily) to the beat of Nobody. Still entertainment though. HAHA. :D

This video is actually on Norwegian Recycling. In case you didn't know, Norwegian Recycling is actually using different types of song and mashing it together into one! This is actually one of my faves! :D You may not be familiar with the first four songs cause they're quite classical. Haha(: Okay, that's all I have for now(:

Lovelovelove,

2009-05-26T23:07:00.004+08:00

I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING!

I have been really busy recently that I totally have no free time for myself! But don't worry, after this week I should be actively blogging because this week is the last week before the school term break!(: School has been sort of wonderful but class has reached storming stage. Okay, ignore what I've just said. Haha! I promise you once I have free time I'll do up a proper post! Meanwhile, if you have any ideas that you think you might want me to do a post about, do feel free to tell me! Subsequently, lexamous now has twitter! So follow me around. Stalk my every action, even when I'm in the shower! Haha. Okay then, shall end here(:

Pardon me for my random usage of colours. Haha.

23 days.

but you're just a mannequin.

Clique Outing #2.

2009-05-24T22:01:00.002+08:00

Takeaway shot from Clique outing #2. :D

I just realised that I'm just another one of your sidekicks,
just that I'm different from the others.

HAHAHA

2009-05-19T20:38:00.003+08:00

It's small things like this that make my day(:

Bedroom Madness.

2009-05-16T18:25:00.003+08:00

I was bored yesterday and Momo kept asking me to sleep which I think would be wasted since it's a Friday night thus I decided to spend time taking nonsensical photos of me and some with my bed mates(:

Can't wait for next Saturday! CLIQUE OUTING! :D This week and next week will be tests week and after that, HOLIDAYS~ and KOREA, here I come! :D

flu bug

2009-05-12T19:53:00.005+08:00

I am down with flu.

NOT SWINE FLU OR H1N1 OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT. Just a typical flu. Those you get
when you don't drink enough water and you eat heaty stuff. So this morning the moment I woke up I took out the water bottle that I've abandon ever since I was last sick and filled it with water to the brim. Pops, upon seeing that, made this rather weird comment. Something like:

"Wanna shit then come and look for toilet!"

At first I didn't really catch what he was saying. After that I finally got what he was trying to say. You see, in this case, you should have look for a toilet when you know you have that feeling of shitting but not when you wanna shit thus what Pops is trying to bring across here is that I am only drinking water when I'm sick when I should be drinking water frequently. Which is true.

I've never been a big fan of plain water. As the name suggests, it's PLAIN and I just can't understand how people can drink those kind of stuff unless you tell me you can add flavours to your mineral water. But that wouldn't be plain water anymore. That'll be flavoured water. However, I've come to appreciate plain water as it is. Maybe because when I skip lunch, I still have something to hold my hunger(: (To all health geeks out there, if you dare tag a long post on how water helps me, I'll rip your nose off.)

So, having said that, my conclusion for all of you out there is:

"Don't look for a toilet when you wanna shit! Just shit in your pants!"

Okay, that was soooooo random.

E36C

2009-05-08T22:47:00.003+08:00

As you guys know, till now I have yet to tell you about my AMAZING class. So instead of doing it with words, why not photos? (:

FARA - My team member since day 1! Super duper funny girl (:

HAIQAL - Funniest guy and korean wannabe I've ever met. And he was the
guy who was chatting with me on MSN on the previous post(:

AXEL - MY BROTHER! Hahah. ALEX = AXEL. Also the class "ah beng" (:

Jason - Don't really know him but he's a nice guy! Worked with him yesterday
in Enterprise! (:

Stella - Also know as our class "ah lian". Super fun to be with especially
during science module with our "hot" faci. (:

Zoey - Don't really know her that well too but she's a nice person!
Have yet to work with her! (:

Yu Ting - Also called MEIGO. From HK if I'm not wrong! (:

Husny - CUTEST guy smile I've ever seen! Can you see his dimples?!?!
It's like you can fill water in his dimples! Hahah. Another super nice guy! (:

Nyssa - Also known as Lady Gaga because of her hair. Very vain girl.
And she's a super big fan of cam-whoring. Hahah(:

Dainah - Rather quiet girl but when you start talking to her
she won't be so quiet anymore. Hahah(:

Andy(Mr) - Okay, don't be mistaken. This is not my classmate.
This is my comms faci! Shoe lover too! (currently owns 88 pairs)

He's from Photo IG I think. The shot of Husny & me was taken by him (:

Okay, that's all for now. I will take photos with the others when I have the time! Anywho, I will NOT be in Singapore for one day starting tmr morning. Will only be back on Sunday morning or afternoon! So unless you're rich, don't text me. (:

E36C \m/

joke of the day

2009-05-07T22:33:00.003+08:00

Was chatting with Haiqal (funny dude in E36C) on MSN and after I sent him the
korean song he started going crazy. Hahah.

Enterprise rocked today.

Taylor's new videos!

2009-05-06T20:49:00.004+08:00

Found this wonderful new music video from Taylor Swift! :D Watch :

Subsequently you can watch the videos at the link below. I couldn't find the music video for "The Best Day" so you can watch it there! :D And if you're kind hearted enough, please create an account on CMT and vote for Taylor! I will loveeeee you! :D

http://www.cmt.com/videos/taylor-swift/377889/you-belong-with-me.jhtml?id=1610430

Taylor Swift! \m/

I've turned pudgy.

2009-05-05T18:48:00.003+08:00

If you don't believe me, look at this photo:

Taken in class today. Just look at my cheeks. I didn't have cheeks like that since I was 10. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for myself. I've never liked being OVERLY skinny and I'll never understand most girls or even boys who wants to be as slim as possible unless you're telling me that they're actually overweight. If not, I see no reason.

Now, get away from here before my shorts explode. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BESTIE!

2009-05-04T19:02:00.005+08:00

Before I start on my nonchalant post,

THANKS A MILLION TO BESTIE, SHEENA, SERENA, MOMO, POPS, AUNTIE SHIRLEY, UNCLE KEVEN, CINDY, GARY, ALAN, RIDDUAN, MUHD, MARC, TYLER AND BABY(:

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOSXOSXOXSOXSOX (HUGS AND KISSES WITH SALIVA) :P

It's good to know that there are tonnes of people I can count on even if I fall.

Don't worry, I'm not sad anymore! Sorry if you guys called and I switched off my mobile!

I'm so sorry for not doing up a proper post! Recently there's nothing for me to blog about! But BUT I promise you there will be great stuff coming up cause we're going to have CLIQUE OUTING NUMBER TWO! *JUMPS FOR JOY* Details will be given AFTER we've gone on the outing! Other than that, love those people above to the max! :D & not to forget ....

HAPPY SEVENTEENTH, BESTIE! :DDDDDDDDDDD

passion, gone.

2009-05-02T16:56:00.001+08:00

Disappointment never felt so bad, seriously.

It's times like these I wish gramps was with me...

independence.

2009-04-27T21:30:00.004+08:00

WELCOME BACK PEOPLE OF THE EARTH.

Today was sucky. Not the lesson. The lesson, like I said last Monday, was fun. It was the team members that I had to worked with, or rather, team MEMBER. Without the "S".

I'm not going to go into details but it had something to do with HER comment about something and how I opposed against her idea and how she TWISTED her facts and said I wasn't listening, which made me real mad. Real. Mad.

I know I know. Control your temper, watch your attitude yada yada yada.

Anywho, I found this Youtube video which I think is A-MA-ZING! Check it out:

It's pretty amazing how he can do all these without flooding the video camera.

OHkay, Enterprise tmr. Not a big fan. :P

this time, it's over.

2009-04-26T00:08:00.003+08:00

If there's one word I wanna tell you now, the word will be "Goodbye."

You gave me many reasons to stay away from you,

so maybe I should slowly leave till I'm out of your sight.

I was never, and will never be part of your game.
cause I never was a toy.

maybe to you I was, but not others.

Hello! wrong room!

2009-04-23T18:24:00.003+08:00

Note to self: Not to always turn left when getting out of the lift and check classroom before proceeding to go in and make a fool out of yourself.

That's what I did today. I always turn left (bad habit of mine) when I get out of the lift. Most of the time I'm rather lucky cause when I go into the room, everyone would be smiling and stuff. But not today. I went into the room and all I see were strangers. Scenario:

Me: *Opens the door and walks in* Sees a stranger and thought to myself "Oh, must be a new classmate" and proceeds to my place. Before reaching my seat my eyes scanned the room and I realised I MIGHT be in the wrong room.

Faci: "Good morning. Take a seat."

Me: *whispered loudly* "I usually would but I think I'm in the wrong class." *retreat in a backward manner.*

Faci: "I think so too." (apparently I think he saw my lost look)

Me: *sticks out tongue and run off at the speed of light*

Apparently my "lost" look seems to be very funny cause when we were having math yesterday and I gave the "lost" look cause I was confused, one of my classmates laughed and say my face was funny. And once again today I showed my "lost" look in the wrong classroom and the whole class was trying very hard to not laugh. Zzzz.

Anyway today I had COMMUNICATIONS! :D It is somehow like English lessons in secondary school just that it was more interactive and stressful. Reason being my class being too competitive. FYI, my class(E36C) have tonnes of people who are super opinionated. Some will question your way of doing things etc. which is why for today's Comms my group got the lowest grade which was, ironically, a B grade. There's 5 groups in my class. So 3 groups were given an A grade, 1 group with a B+ grade, and then there's my group.

Told you it was Competitive. Even more apt when my classroom is room C.

Luckily the presentation was only one of the many components that will decide my daily grade. Guess I would have to work doubly hard now! :))))))

COMMUNICATIONS \m/

First day.

2009-04-20T18:32:00.003+08:00

Now I will never get bored on Mondays again, cause lessons on Monday are awesome! :D

Just to elaborate more, the class totally fits my personality. Let's just say that I'm not the only bitchy one in the class and that there is going to be damn loads of DRAMA. Haha. I was telling my new friend Double-H (because her first two initials are H) :

Double-H: Wah, luckily I am not in her group.

Me: Yeah. Gosh.

After that we had to do a presentation and this bitchy person commented on how we shouldn't hide behind each other (FYI, I was standing alone in the middle) so that she can see us and how we should speak out more and engage more with them. So double H responded rather indignantly (I forgot what she said). After that we went back to our tables and I told Double-H:

Me: Gosh, did you see the way she talk?! *humpf

Double-H: Yeah!

Me: She's so gonna get it man.

Double-H: *opens notepad and list down list of things to remember when presenting. One of them being: respond nicely to comments.*

Me: HAHA. Monday is gonna get super dramatic man. Lol.

How can I not love class? Haha(:

Anyway cab to school with Crystal, Bestie and Rid today. Lol. Cause the buses were packed. Haha. After school went back with them too and IT WAS A TORTUROUS 20 MINS RIDE BACK TO YISHUN. BESIDE ME WAS RID AND BEHIND ME WAS BESTIE AND CRYSTAL.

So last friday I remember I was texting Rid about the results for the Principal's Cup(PC) and how we went back to home base when the JAM & HOP started cause they wanted to debrief so RID said we, or rather I, was crying back at home base cause SOH didn't get first this year. So throughout the whole journey, I don't know why, Rid kept saying I was crying at home base and I was sad or whatsoever throughout the WHOLE JOURNEY. To make matters worse, Bestie thinks it's very funny and laughs along. Although I was irritated, I laughed too cause Rid's "I'm crying" face is just damn funny. Haha.

I was doing somersalts at the back of my mind when I was in class today and received this:

Finally, something I look forward too.

& then there's 1st July, which I hope would be the last.

reminisce.

2009-04-19T20:45:00.003+08:00

I got bored and started reading through my chat logs and kept laughing non-stop when I saw these:

lexy: why are you appearing offline anyway?
ridduan: i m under cover
lexy: gosh... LOL.
who are you working for?
Lol.
ridduan: tat my boy
is a secret

Went out yesterday and it was tonnes of fun! Didn't take any photos though. xD Bought colourful bands so I'm kinda in a CLOUD NINE MODE now. Heh(:

I love my life the way it is now. Simple yet colourful.

you're not sorry

2009-04-18T21:14:00.002+08:00

All this time I was wasting,
Hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances every time
And all you do is let me down
And it's taking me this long
Baby but I figured you out
And you're thinking we'll be fine again,
But not this time around

You don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can say that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did - before
You're not sorry, no no ohhh

Looking so innocent,
I might believe you if I didn't know
Could've loved you all my life
If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold
And you got your share of singers
And I'm tired of being last to know
And now you're asking me to listen
Cause it's worked each time before

But you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did - before
You're not sorry, no no, ohhh

You're not sorry no no ohhh

You had me falling for you honey
And it never would've gone away, no
You used to shine so bright
But I watched all of it fade

So you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
There's nothing left to beg for
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did - before
You're not sorry, no no ohhh

You're not sorry, no no ohhh

\m/ SOH.

2009-04-18T00:48:00.002+08:00

Orientation was a BLAST! It really was.

I know you guys must be thinking I'm lying to you but I'm not. Over the past 3 days I've come to realise how fun it was getting. However this year SAS won the Principal's Cup and the title will remain with them for a year((: Congratulations! :D SOH came in third this year BUT was tops for the last 2 years!! Had a PARTAYE at the lawn at night and it was awesome! :D People were dancing everywhere and there were bands playing on the stage! :D Pictures will be uploaded soon! :D And I'll also tell you about my "embarrassing" moment. :x

Me love SOH! (& SEG & CCC cause one's blue and one's turquoise!) (:

Love,

semi-burnt.

2009-04-16T19:27:00.004+08:00

I look like I've been embarrassed by thousands of people. Burnt face.

2nd day was actually much more fun! Normally time passes very fast when you're having fun. Since I feel that time flew past very fast today, I guess I must had fun. Lol. Met Rid(R) in the morn. After that there was a tug of war challenge and my school lost terribly. :( Apparently the winning group was from the School of Health and Leisure(SHL). Played some games and cheers after that. Dismissed and R was waiting for me (sorry! :P). After that most of the 4E2 was standing in front of 7-11 talking. So R was saying how my school did badly in the TOW:

R: "A, your school lose damn badly in the TOW!" *laughing*

A: "So?! I wasn't the one playing."

Yewfai: "If you play I think you would have flown off alre!"

R and Yewfai: "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL"

A: *Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

After that we kinda got seperated so R and I took the train home first. Bought bubbletea with R again before heading home(:

This is kind of getting better, for me. (:

hanging on

2009-04-15T20:14:00.003+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANDSOME RIDDUAN! (:

honoured or not? your school color. haha(:

Orientation was a BLAST! of boredom.

Okay, it's actually not that bad as I imagine it to be. So I met up with Birthday boy in the morning. Got him a box of mentos cause I feel kinda bad not getting him anything. Throughout the whole journey I kept telling him that this will be the worst decision I'm going to make in my entire 16 years of life (to go for the orientation) but surprisingly, it turned out rather well. Am not gonna elaborate much until the last day(: Went back with Jolene, Haryani and birthday boy. Saw MUHD(MY PARTNER!!!!) :D Bought bubbletea (& treat birthday boy too! :P). Walked with birthday boy to the nearest bus stop and headed home.

Why are you in NYP? :(

writer's block.

2009-04-14T21:55:00.005+08:00

I think I'm suffering from writer's block.

And I guess the only reason would be because Orientation's tmr.

Anywho, I have a feeling that Momo is reading my blog. Just yesterday I was blogging about how Momo was being super rude and stuff and today when I checked my mail, voila:

I know. It's like lexamous has turned into a wishing blog right? You wish and it comes true. ;)

I WISH orientation would be fun tmr and I won't meet obnoxious or sickening people. Gosh make my wish come true make my wish come true................

If I do not come online or blog tmr it means that I'm dead. Try and find me in the newspaper.
And to those who are not out there suffering tmr, ease my pain and chat with me through text! ;)

JoyMo.

2009-04-13T23:05:00.005+08:00

Momo can be such a joy sometimes. Look at this:

She didn't even bother to write a "Good Morning!" or leave a message. All she did was put a subject head and sent it to me. I didn't even have to open the email to know what it was. Sometimes she sends me an email about a joke or some meaningful thing that her co-workers send her. Like this video she sent me with the subject head "FW: The largest DEAD snake ever found, over 50 feet." with an attached video:

Yeah, who would have thought momo was into this kinda stuff?

The other time I was out when she sent me a text that read:

"Kindly have your dinner outside before you head home. We'll not be having dinner with you."

The first time I read it I was exasperated. After that it sort of sink into my head that it was the usual Momo. Talk about being overly obsessed with technology.

Best days of your life

2009-04-12T22:17:00.005+08:00

This was supposingly a duet between Kellie Pickler and Taylor Swift but ironically all you can hear is Kellie's voice. With a hint of Taylor.

Oh well, it's a great song anyway. Enjoy! :)

OHOH, also watch out for Taylor's expression when the guy in the video gets run over by a bus! It's damn funny! Haha(:

ice skating rocks my smelly socks

2009-04-11T23:24:00.005+08:00

I AM BACK! bigger and better!

Okay, I don't know where I heard that but it's super funny and I'm gonna stop right now. LOL. Went out today with a bunch of lovable people. Not to mention crazy and daring and sassy and loud and abrasive.

I mean who barks like a dog in the lift and screams at every possible stranger?

Anywho I'm lazy to upload all the photos that I've taken so here is one of my faves and one group photo(:

I almost fell a few times while skating. More like stumbling. I didn't actually lie flat on the floor nor go down on all fours. HAHA. Which was good cause I wouldn't want to have wet pants. LOL. Other photos will be uploaded ASAP! :D

Hectic day.

2009-04-07T20:38:00.003+08:00

I don't know how I'm going to survive tmr when I barely lived past today.

Work was super exhausting today. Morning was relaxing as usual but after that everything is just printing, calling and pasting. And for those who think that my work is very relaxing, it's not okay! Just because I'm on MSN from the time I switch on my laptop till I off it doesn't mean that I'm sitting right in front of the laptop with my eyes glued to the screen 24/7!

Talking about MSN, so sorry to the 5/6 people(I forgot who) who were talking to me on MSN but I didn't reply! & thanks for the numerous number of nudges and the words in CAPS you guys sent me. I feel threatened and guilty about not replying you guys. ):

& don't just send me a one-word message expecting me to reply you. As much as I want to entertain you, I can't.

The thought of me working alone tmr just makes me panicky. My colleague's gonna be out for a meeting tmr which means I'ld have to do everything myself. :(

Wish me luck.

2009-04-05T21:52:00.003+08:00

I got bored so I decided to blog hop and happen to chance upon this interesting quiz on Pravin's blog so I decided to give it a go. Results:

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

I have to agree with Pravin. This quiz is so freaking accurate. Haha.

Anywho, found this really cool video of a kid playing a favourite song of mine:

I don't play the drums but I know that sounded awesome! :)
love that song to the max! :DD

Moved on

2009-04-05T21:35:00.003+08:00

I'm currently sleep deprived and have a sudden urge to jump on my bed.

Thanks my boy for chatting with me through the night yesterday. (:

Last day @ GJ, First day @ Adecco.

2009-04-01T20:14:00.002+08:00

Fun and chaotic day (:

Just to sum it all, I am sitting alone in my department(marketing), beside me on the other cubicle is a Korean guy who is rather funny and keeps borrowing my thumbdrive. I keep walking into doors cause I keep forgetting that I need to tap my card to unlock the doors. Once I got frustrated and shaked the door damn hard and one of the staff saw it, which was embarrassing. The pantry is awesome, with an espresso machine. I am provided with a laptop. Pictures:

I got bored and started exploring the building which was kinda fun but annoying at the same time cause you need to tap your card almost every door you pass and like I said I keep forgetting to tap my card which got me pissed and that's why I shook the door vigorously.

2009-03-30T18:26:00.004+08:00

I am back!☺

Recently I've been pretty busy with work stuff and what nots. For those of you who don't know, I'm resigning from Gloria Jean's Coffee and working as a temp @ Adecco. After that I will be free most days so CALL ME OUT IF YOU WANT! :DDD You know the numbers! :)

Okay, so a few days ago went out with two of my lovely buds around Singapore and it was damn fun! All three of us were like talking dirty and we even found out what T&C means. We all know it stands for terms and conditions but in this case, it's not. Pictures:

School's gonna start in less than a month and I'm having mixed feelings.

Confessions Of A Shopaholic.

2009-03-27T18:07:00.003+08:00

Went to watch it today with my buds and it was awesome and hilarious so it's awesomely hilarious! (: It's been a freaking long time since I last saw all of them so it was kinda heart warming to see all of them again! :)))) Anywho, during the film I realise that one of the actresses actually look like Katy Perry! Watch:

Don't they look like twins?!

You should catch the movie if you haven't cause it's really very nice. Next week I'm gonna catch Hotel for Dogs with My Boy! :) CIAO.
