WOW tough

oh my goodness gracious GOSH!!!

i just studied my school's timetable and THIS IS CRAZY!!!

i'm studying 4 subjects (microeconomics, english, music and math) for 4 months, and then there'll be a final EXAM at the end of it all?! it's really a subject per month and then WHAM an examination!

ON MY BIRHDAY TOO!!!!

sheesh, you know when i was young and small, i proudly used to say "my birthday is ALWAYS a holiday..." haha that's because in school, 9th august is a national day right? so the next day, 10th august, my birthday, is automatically a school holiday too!! AND NOW...

i've got a "survey of algebra and trigonometry" (not my favourite subject either) final exam?

bring on the stress and anxiety man...

tell me again why i've dropped mass communications in ngee ann polytechnic to go to SIM?

ah yes, to get a headstart in life... well obviously i'll have to actually PASS my exams first.. oh dear dear me... (heaves a BIG sigh)

ah well i'll worry about that later... meanwhile, i've got my piano exam coming up! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

oh some good news =) i've let my gorf go (ex-pet frog) and it's hopping and alive! =) i think it's going to start it's own family cause i hear more croaking now... more than one frog around obviously... hope it doesn't lay it's eggs in the swimming pool that's all i can say... =) i'll miss it... but i think the "wilderness" is better for it right? haha

another pet

haha i've got my own frog! as a pet! it's currently residing in a wok... or it could be a frying pan but that's not the point... the point is, it's my VERY OWN FROGGIE! haha

i was training my dog downstairs, at the golf course thing there... and i nearly stepped on this real tiny greenish grey thing on the ground... my dog was squirming so i passed her to my mum and bent down to look, BOING it jumped into my shirt... EEK! wow i've never ran so fast in my entire life, it gave me a fright! as amelia would say, good thing i've got a strong heart, with armour...

haha happy! i think i shall name this little fella hmm... how about frog? haha how original right? okay gorf? sounds weird... but well okay... i learnt this tactic from junxian... haha okay that shall be it's name..

presenting, gorf, the frog!! hey wait a minute, how about kermit? NAH, too corny... okay gorf it is! =)

ow ow OW!!

well my title says it all...

OW OW OW OW OW!!!

this weekend has been the craziest and most painful weekend ever!! my arms are aching so badly from yesterday's drill! and mind you we didn't do a lot... maybe it was the tension in my arms and the lack of practice... haha opps... my back too! haha okay fine, so i obviously slouch a lot so when i had to force my back to be straight during drill... the after effects are apparent now... sigh... and my dog! my dear pet doggie, just bit me in the leg... very loyal indeed. she bit the hand that feeds her! dumb dog... haha don't ask me why i still love her... the cut will not stop bleeding so i needed stitches... ridiculous... sigh... my leg smarts... nvm ignore me, i'm just being a baby =) i was all drama mama just now at the doctor's... of course i thought that i would have to amputate my leg and all that... haha silly me... as usual... okay back to the point...

let me enlighten you on the state visit thing...

the state visit of prince philip, was yesterday and my such a long LONG day! i slept at 2 am cause i was fussing around with my boots... it looked so dull to me. and then i woke up at 4am. why? my kong kong was lost somewhere in holland village so i had to look for him and bring him home. he left his stuff at a friend's place which is at HOU GANG mind you... HOU KANG... and then i had to submit my resignation letter at bishan where i was supposed to work at... BISHAN... so i thought to myself, sinc ei'm up i might as well change into my GB uniform and stuff since i had to meet julie at pasir ris at 9.45am... sigh had 2 hours of sleep and a cup of milo, then off to meet the prince i went...

oh my the train was SO crowded!! i was hot and boiling... literally and figuritively... picture this

"ding dong... outram part interchange." bom bom bom [everyone rushing out of the door and in the process stepping on MY BOOTS! MY POLISHED BOOTS!!!]

"ding dong... raffles place interchange." piak piak piak [everyone running out of the door and AGAIN, stepping on my already marked previously POLISHED BOOTS!!!]

"ding dong... city hall itnerchange." scratch scratch step [everyone pushing their way out and YET AGAIN!!! my BOOTS were scratched, abused and oh goodness SPOILT!!!]

ooooooo i was MAD!!! sigh furthermore, i had been standing ever since i was on the train and i was really tired by the time i had a seat which was like at tanah merah INTERCHANGE. by then, my boots were totally gone. boy do i dislike interchange-s... anyway i couldn't be bothered with anyone so i stuck my backside on the pink seat, not even caring that it was PINK or othering to look for the green ones like i always do, took out my cloth and kiwi, and started polishing my poor battered boots. of course, my shoe bag took up one seat, my gigantic bag another, and myself with my folded legs, 2 seats. i was really grumpy and the next eprson who even came close to 10 cm within my boots, i would have smacked them.

anyway, somehow or other, i arrived at the station at 10am, and julie arrived at 10.25! OH NO! the plan was to meet up with jac at her place at 10am, and meet the rest at tampines at 11am!! so we rushed to get a cab... meanwhile we were standing at a taxi stand where 'cottage pie' was... so julie and i bought miss gan and the girls a chicken pie each... in case they were hungry... it tasted real good =) yum yum

well we met up with carol and aud (her eyes are so big!! and she's taken off her braces! nice hee), but erm, we kinda lost miss gan... opps... we were on bus 10 and she said she'll take a cab and chase us, cause we were unsure of where to off... haha funny... so we FINALLY arrived at our destination... NOT... we were at the esplanade but the state visit's at the cenotaph, esplanade path!! but everyone was there anyway haha... miss gan fussed over the GB girls uniform, the bb boys ventured eagerly towards the girls' washroom til miss gan stopped them the ncdcc guys arrived and silly gary was there too... acting mr oh so big cause he's a cadet inspector... well i say to you, so what so squat? haha =) he's cute lar... [did you know what he told me today? he said that ncdcc is the only ug which distinguishes officers from cadets... why? cause officers have JACKETS... like who cares? haha i was snorting to myself all the way home when i saw the sms]

well okay on to the guard of honour itself. guess what? i didn't see the duke the first time round! -.- haha why? cause i thought it was a rehearsal and i didn't know it was the real thing!! we were arranged by order of height first, and of course, i was the first right thanks... we formed teams in which everyone was from a differnt ug. within each team we were further arranged according to our ccas in alphabetical order... i was standing next to whatshisname, the head of bb, samuel of something like that... that's cause boys' brigade comes first followed by girls' brigade... i know him lar thanks... same school... his smile was similar to a grimace and mine was probably no better. haha but nvm. and as i've told you, we went through a short rehearsal and i didn't know that the second time round it was the real thing! sigh... anyway the sun was in our eyes so i couldn't see very well... i was melting over there all right? gosh! but it was an experience... =) although i must admit it didn't feel grand at all, it was just... an experience... the girl guides were hilarious too... they kept pointing to out badges and asking what they were, and one girl commented on our boots "wah mirror arh mirror! who needs a mirror arh, can use this" haha we were laughing... it was hilarious, and oh yeah, the nametag they gave us for identification is beautiful! it's a CLOTH sticker nametag... how cool can that be? haha i still have it... i pasted it on my wallet =)

anyway the best part of it all? it was the WATER and haha, gary passed out. or rather to him, he "lost vision", which to me is the same thing. haha okay so i'm evil but since he was beaming his weird little cheeky grin at me little i figured hey no worries he's fine. as always. haha... i KNEW IT! he said he had little sleep and did not eat much, and i so guessed it! see? who's the pro... haha... see lar gary... you always call me "weak", now what have you got to say for yourself, when i had such a small breakfast and no lunch myself? not to mention little sleep too? sigh gary gary, have i proved my point now? AND to think he still wanted to call out "loisa! why are you still a sergeant?" during the reception. good thing he was distracted by food, that nut. anyway what's wrong with a sergeant? i'm loving it... at least i don't have to wear a JACKET... sometimes gary just makes me go nuts...

well after the entire thing was over, aud left with miss gan to head for home. that aud abandoned us! haha she had a bbq going on in the evening you see... meanwhile jac, julie, carol and me had to rush back to tampines to eat... why? cause we had to attend S.N.O.W!! speedlight night of worship and gosh was God ever with us! it was powerful man, pure powerful and united! we were hyper and totally on ecstacy! haha at first, i had a really big headache as we didn't have much for dinner, and i was feeling pretty sick already... but the minute the service started, everyone was on their feet praising the one and only Saviour and i felt His presence, so of coruse all of us started lifting our hands and jumping on our feet... dancing and kneeling even!! =) we were indeed unified...

cool! i just love Jesus more and more...

*i keep falling in love in with You, over and over and, over and over again, i keep falling in love with You, over and over and, over and over again,
it gets sweeter and sweeter as the days go by,
o what love between my Lord and i,
i keep falling in love with You, over and over and, over and over again...*

=)

-time wasted-

sigh sigh sigh

i wasted the whole afternoon today... i'm so sore about it!! friends and i had plans of going to the escape theme park today... i've never been there so i badly wanted to go. however, an interview popped up today, 2pm at tanjong pagar maxell house... thus i decided to forgo fun day as it's ridiculous for me to travel to

pasir ris (escape) ----- tanjong pagar (interview) ----- pasir ris (escape) ----- buona vista (home)

so sigh, nvm, the thought of a prospective flyers job spurred me on! actually at the back of my mind, i was wondering why would we need to go for an interview if all we had to do was distribute flyers? weird eh, but anyway jovin and i headed there... had a talk to amelia on the way and lucky girl, she had her treat!! (a bet made should she watch the movie final destination, and let me warn you, it's a totally gruesome and scary movie)

well everythign was delayed as jovin's medical check up was pushed forward to 1.30, therefore we only reached the interview venue at 2.30pm

BUT

when we arrived there, the office was locked! we gave the interviewer a call, and yeah very funny, he was caught up with stuff. so in total we conversed three times, and each time he said that he would either clal me back in 20 minutes, or he would arrive at the office in half hour. the only reason we bothered to wait for him was because the ad in the classifieds said we would be paid 8 bucks per hour!!

well what a con! the whole thing was a huge con scheme! guess what it's really 300 flyers for 3 dollars! piang, all that waiting for nothing. by the way, he arrived only at 5.45pm. clever eh? sigh... i could have gone for my escape outing... and ended my day with a huge smile on my face... =(

maybe i'll go make some peanut butter sandwich. bought a jumbo loaf and skippy peanut butter on my way home just now... THAT would bring my spirits up!! see? just thinking about that squishy sandwich makes me grin like... like a... oh no! a GLUT! haha oh well, who cares?? haha =)

MURDERER!!

oh goodness gracious gosh! i finally killed my poor pal, liz and the lizard!! it's been stuck on my beautiful green curtains for the past one week so i've been talking to it every night. when i was angry yesterday, i yelled and verbally abused it too... thank goodness it doesn't understand human english... but all the same, i've actually become quite fond of liz...

however my murder instinct came up when it dropped on MY FACE the night before while i was asleep... it tried to share the bed covers with me.. and to do that, you must get permission from louie first!! so ta da uh oh, into the plastic bag it goes, down the toilet bowl it flounders, and then up to heaven it flies!! by the way, how does one tell the difference between a female and male lizard? or are lizards bisexual?

nah i'm not that mean lar... i let it down in my rubbish chute... cause i really couldn't stand another night of flicking tails on my nose, and besides, my dog was really fascinated with it and kept trying to eat it. thus i have to protect my little doggie from food poisoning right? =)

i still have to ask for forgiveness though, cause liz might have died on it's way down the chute... *shivers*

oh no i'm a murderer! i knowingly put poor liz in harm!! =(

okay i'll open up the chute... maybe she didn't fall though, maybe, just MAYBE she's in the ledge or something... =) let me check, will be back in jsut a while...

GOOD NEWS PEOPLE! i have just retrieved liz from the rubbish chute! she's up and healthy... =) i think it's forgiven me cause it ate the pork floss i put inside the jar... it's in the jar too obviously... i'm going to keep liz... =) maybe she'll make good friends with pebbles, but first, i'll have to train the dog not to eat lizards... or anything that moves for that matter... hmmm...

11th March 2006

okay a pattern is forming... do you realise that i only update this blog thing only when i'm free or am real bored, or rather whenever i have nothing on the next day? as can be seen, i have not updated this for quite some time so guess what? i've been working! a real job! haha telemarketing that is... boy do you meet some real annoying people, and you just want to throw these humans out of the window... on the other hand, there are nice considerate people out there in the world who do not scream at you in hokkien but instead, reject you politely and honestly. they do not waste your time by telling you they'll think about it when they obviously do not want it anymore, cause otherwise i'll have to follow up with them and it's really a waste of breath and brain energy, not to mention time and money in making the calls.

i've been feeling very old lately, probably cause now i have to dress up a little more...

skirts, blouses, shirts, pants, HEELS a must, hair down, contact lenses...

you name it! i feel like a loUisa now, not a loisa. somehow it makes a difference with the U inside, it feels more grownup, more feminine, i don't know. [haha i'm beginning to talk to myself, yeah yeah, i know you're tuning out]

ah yes back to the point. i've been feeling old, not early twenties that kind of old, but a little more like in the eighties. haha, that's probably because my feet hurt, my head hurts, i feel like i am suffering from athiritis, and i think maybe dibeties too, at the rate i'm going with the sweets. i have to munch on something while talking you see, otherwise i'll go nuts and bang the phone down on the floor. [and no, i do not sound like i have marbles in my mouth although i suck on sweets as i talk to THE potential, NOT, clients]

sigh my contract has ended anyway, so i was supposed to go for another job near bugis area with a friend i met in MI, jovin. we're supposed to sell calculators at 10 bucks each, and we get a commission of 30% for each calculator sold, which means 3 dollars i guess. pretty pathetic huh... but well, we backed out halfway cause we doubt we can sell any. we'll actually lose money due to all the travelling we have to do.

jeremy told me about this website his aunt recommended him, so i looked it up. it's real good! haha very easy to find jobs, but now the thing is whether it is easy to GET the jobs... haha... have sent in a few applications online [it's much easier to send in online resumes then go for walk-in-interviews, through classifieds. trust me, i know, cause i nearly died in those heels. instead of jobs and money, i brought back home with me blisters and aches =( ] so well we'll see... =) if i'm still unemployed by the 20th, jovin and i are going to go with jeremy and friend to find jobs. let's hope they're more effective than us. haha... nice of them to let us tag along, but then again, since they're so good at finding nice jobs, we'll probably stalk them and attempt to steal those jobs anyway... yeah that's how desperate we are. HEY! we have absolutely NOTHING to do til late april all right? so give us a break... if we continue sitting on our backsides at home all day long on that sinking old couch, our brain will just rot and you'll find our decomposed bodies lying there, probably in a pool of shrinkled dead matter or something. okay sorry, i'm depressed and feeling slightly cranky. okay, slightly is an understatement, does VERY fit the bill? haha

but hey something to cheer us all up! i'm up for the guard-of-honour duty for the state visit by HRH (his royal highness) [funny eh? her majesty is HM. i've always wondered why it's not his majesty and her royal highness instead. gotta think about that one] prince philip. yup, i get to see a few of the gb girls! somehow seeing them not only gives me a headache sometimes, it can be so exasperating when problems arise, but gosh do they cheer me up when i'm feeling tired or sad! and i get to catch up with my odie too! haha that's audrey to you! only certified people get to call her odie! and i'm garfield's girlfriend! okay i'm crapping again, but really, that's what goes on in gb... haha so yeah!

gotta go now, good night you guys! God bless =)

with love, louie

so blessed, i can't contain it, so much i've gotta give it away

God has been real good to me... first He got me the interview with the mass communications people... and now He has helped me get into the course itself!

He'll take care of me... i know He will =)

1st March 2006

gosh have been so busy! sigh tomorrow's going to be another busy day!

1. i have to collect my glasses! sigh... sad eh? i just picked the first glasses which fits me... i am badly in need of one. well it's RED... i emphasise... RED haha...

2. bring grandpa to holland road to eat pizza hut! haha i got my first pay check! erm 38 bucks... haha so since i've received the pizza hut voucher thing, might as well give him a treat, ensures that he eats a full meal at least. he's pretty forgetful so i'm afraid he forgets to eat his meals sometimes...

3. type out weekly report

4. research on rivervalley apartments

5. call up a few clients regarding the new housing projects "foliage" and "stellar"

that should be about it anyway... oh and postings are out on friday! real nervous, but am excited too... =)
