23rd December 2007

Okay so the results for the last semester is out! And simply by the grace of God, and Him alone, i somehow got a B+ for COM 337 (Communications theory). I was sick that day so i did really badly for that one, not to mention that due to my extremely wrong immune system, i was late for the exam. A whole HALF HOUR! zzzz

Moving on, i didn't do too badly overall. But i refuse to remain a B or B+ student. I must, and WILL, get As along the way. Yep, work harder, play less, erm haha eat less and exercise more too! =) SO help me!

Anyway, i'm off for a family holiday (ahhh happy) and will be away during Christmas and New Year's, but look for me after that when i'm back alright? See you guys!

A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

God bless all of you

*hug* =)

love, loisa

In Jesus' name i pray,

AMEN!!!

24th November 2007

Do you think i'm a killer? I think i am. What do i do about it? Oh no!

I've been cranky since last night, so today i decided to let all that maniac out. I saw a couple of mimosas or touch-me-nots at my granddad's place today. Are they really called touch-me-nots, or is my mum pulling my leg again?

Whatever the case, i almost killed a couple of them. I was playing with them with child-like fascination, continuously poking them when i realized they no longer opened. OOO so mad!!

Out of guilt, i had a moment of silence, 5 minutes. Said a little prayer for them just in case, and opened my eyes. They were open! I had even been tricked by mother nature!!

Ooo maddening!! I started stomping all over the pavement today, full of anger and wrath, and my killer instincts came out again. The all mighty Loisa stood in the middle of the road, all ready to ROAR with belligerance, probably attack a few drivers with acrimony, strike out with asperity at innocent bystanders... ... ... ...

When i felt the wind in my hair.

Immediately, Loisa turned all graceful like, and struck a post, still in the middle of the road. Her arms lifted above her gracefully, she smiled an oscar winning smile, and her hair twirled behind her, like the atumn leaves falling around her... ... ...

THEN

*BEEP BEEEP BEEEPPPP*

Oh well. My mum was tired of staring at my antics. I didn't even noticed she was back in the car.

Ah well. The randomness of loisa. I'm obviously off today. VERY off. zzzzz

KEN

oh but wait! There's one happy thing!! GRIN HEH HEH

Jocelyn just came back from Japan, and she bought me a picture of...

OOOOMMMMGGGGG everybody scream now....

KEN!!! Miyake Ken from V6! hehehehehehe

Yep so heh heh. He's kinda staring at me from the table so... that makes my day! wahahahaha

grin

THANK YOU JOCE! -hug-

23rd November 2007

Thoughts for today...

Ahhh finally all presentations are done! Next week i've got a break from school, but that means i have to hibernate... NO. Stay at home, AWAKE, and study my butt off to make up for all the rubbish low-marks presentations i've had throughout this semester. Well it's only for A PARTICULAR course. A little upset but hey, i tried my best to be prefessional. It's not my fault i'm small. I can't help it if people laugh when i sniff and cough into the mike. I'm sick for goodness sake. I shall not be mad. I shall learn, and grow bigger, and

GIVE A STONE FACE. LOOK PROFESSIONAL.

Right. Done. That's about it for now. This semester is bad la ah.

And it didn't quite help when i realized something today. I had to hurt, to realize that i might have unintentionally hurt my own friends as well. Not that it's something really exaggerating. But just a note: If we have friends we really love, and whom we treasure as friends, we should treat them as well as we can. We should not be ashamed of them, nor ignore them for too long, no matter how busy, tired, or annoyed we are. Even if our many different circles of friends are not a whole social circle of friends itself, we should still have the common courtesy not to give in to peer pressure, and treat them as how we feel for them. Yeah?

And that's what scares me. That...

1) I could have been not so nice to friends i love
2) I had to feel that hurt in order to know and realize it myself

Goodness that IS bad isn't it? To must-feel-it or suffer-the-consequences before you realize it? It's like a mother telling her daughter not to touch the fire cause it will hurt, but the daughter HAD to touch the fire just to know herself without believing the mother. Scary eh?

Right. End of thoughts. To the books! See ya =)

13th November 2007

ROAR SMASH *throws a fit* STOMPS STOMPS STOMPS!

Okay enough of my tantrums. It's just so very frustrating, when we need to send loads of emails, and attach our files, documents or presentation slides to them. AND ALL EMAILS DO NOT WORK!

I've tried yahoo, gmail, AND hotmail, but none work.

*pulls hair*

Grumble. Right. Done being sulky.

Puts on this sickly sweet toothy grin on my face.

-GRIN-

Right.

8th November 2007

Rightho.

So the last few weeks have been madness, but hey, this week i've self declared holiday. Haha intially it was supposed to be a day, and perhaps back to work after that, but somehow, or other, it became a week, SO.

Heh. But, then again, i spent my time doing up admin work (organizing notes...), and THAT'S when i realized, ROAR, my comms teacher gave me a wrong grade for my summaries!!! And it's a summary whose grade i have to take into account! SO, jia lact. I will try and see if i can get the mark when she gets back from CHICAGO. Grumble, if i don't get it, i will be quite sore, but i think this semester has toughened me up a bit. I don't know if it's good or not. I'm not so particular about marks, cause i can't seem to do anything about it (SUCH AS THE PREJUDICES OF MY BUSINESS COMMS LECTURER), but yet, that might mean i don't care about my grades anymore.

Aiya, i shouldn't think so much. Do my best, and let the Lord do everything else for me! =)

Oh yeah, as i was saying, i did admin work, did the household chores, spent time with dog, jogged and brisked walked at the canal, been doing some shopping with mum for formal clothes, and i am honestly about to give up, like NOW.

I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING THAT FITS ME!

Initially, i was fussy and wanted long pants, instead of a skirt. Then, i gave up cause it was obvious NO PANTS would fit me. Mum said skirts are easier to find anyway. So okay. And what do i get? Skirts that fall off my waist almost immediately. Jackets that reach my kness, and whose sleeves flap at the bottom. Bell bottom pants, since they're humongous, and i look like i lost my butt when i wear them.

*throws arms in the air and rolls eyes*

Let's face it. I need to tailor make something. Grumble.

Out.

23rd October 2007

ai yo cannot talk cannot breathe!

Results macham chapalang!! Okay nevermind. Not making sense anymore. Depressed -.-" NO, NO DEPRESSION.

Bye bye. haha gotta work it man, work it!! haha

22nd October 2007

"Prologue: The Birth of Architecture" by poet W.H.Auden

Some thirty inches from my nose
The frontier of my Person goes,
And all the untilled air between
Is private pagus or demesne.
Stranger, unless with bedroom eyes
I beckon you to fraternize,
Beware of rudely crossing it:
I have no gun, but i can spit.

So moral of this poem? Don't come too close to me, or I'll get scared instead and run far far FAR away from you!

Something like that. =) But don't distance yourself too far either. okay? Ahh my point is, don't know me INSIDE OUT. Logical?

Okay never mind. Just a thought. I like the poem anyway ha ha. It's from my communications textbook, interpersonal communication, Chapter 6: Expectancy Violations Theory.

That's it! See ya =)

14th October 2007

She's sad... =(



Ahhh but look! When she's relived of it, she loves her toy dog!! -_-"

Okay end of show. See ya!

8th September 2007 (Overnight cycling)

So...

At 9pm, i was running around paya lebar mrt station trying to find the bus stop where bus 76 was available. Our destination? East coast. My destination? Find the bus stop so i could board the same bus as eileen! After a lot of staring at roads, squinting at bus numbers and so forth, i met eileen on the bus! WHOOT!

We had entertainment on the bus almost immediately.

*sms from kenneth* "With auston now, at macs"

Eileen was quite fast --> "AUSTIN POWERS AHHH??"

hahaha what the poor guy meant was that he was with ashton already!! Cute fella. Okay won't make fun of him anymore.

Right, so we walked to east coast park where we met up with the rest, 9 of us cyclists, and one inhumane american roller blader, a.k.a. BARAK!! He's ABSURDLY good on his blades!! -faint- Eileen was "THE MAN" at the rental shop. She managed to make a good bargain for us, which was 11 dollars per bike, inclusive of a complimentary bottle of plain water. Love the girl!! =)

So, off we were!!

-pant pant- Loisa's Thoughts: -->

Hmmm this isn't so bad, besides, the scenery is soo pretty! Chit chats to eileen. Watches barak on his rollerblades in awe. Glares at kenneth for cycling on the road; thus, his near death experiences with numerous cars. Failed attempt to kill jaden on his bike, although that was no fault of mine, since he told me to "SLOW DOWN!!"

Ahhh we've reached lau pa sa!! We cycled over benjamin shears bridge, and by the way, you may not want to attempt that anytime soon. *pats sore bottom* Ahh the food was SO expensive. As quoted by eileen, "I paid like $6 for a few strands of satay and one prawn. -_- " Hahahaha! *nods in total agreement*

So far so good, our stomachs were full, we had beautiful views all around us, so, back to east coast for us! The night was still young! It was around 1 plus in the morning! But guess what, we went back to east coast park, not to rest and enjoy the sea breeze, but to CARRY ON TO CHANGI! Okay, at that point of time it was quite exciting, but ahhh, haha it was then when all the sleepiness and delusional-ness and the aches started.

I was falling asleep so the way i cycled was quite well, dangerous. I would either cycle sideways or stop entirely, and without a "ahem" from jielong behind, i would probably have crashed into something or someone (probably jaden). Eileen suggested talking or singing to keep awake, so we sang sound of music songs, then we slowly gave up, due to

1) We simply no longer had any breath left
2) I was disappearing behind
3) IT STARTED TO RAIN!!!

Oh my goodness and DID IT RAIN!! The first time, it was drizzling, then it started to rain. We were soaked. Nevermind, rain had stopped. So we decided to rest at changi, and eat nasi lemak (which wasn't nice) and ta mee pok (which was way too spicy). By then i was dying, seiously. AND SO WAS STEPH CHAI AND JIELONG! So i wasn't the only one!! Hahaha, all three of us were dozing off at the table already. I didn't even know what i was eating. Eileen was quite nice to tolerant my half-non existence already. =)

Oh wait, i forgot to tell you HOW MUCH WE CYCLED JUST TO GET TO CHANGI!! It was... MILES!! Ashton said "5 more minutes" and 15 minutes later, it was STILL "5 more minutes". Haha slap!! Right so somehow, the outcast group was always jaden, jielong, steph chai and me. Bear in mind that again somehow, we always cycled a different route than the others, which ALSO means we cycled more -__-"

Right okay, we took a few pictures at the changi coffee shop, and proceeded backwards to east coast park again. SNOOORRREEE

Suddenly, LIGHTNING STRUCK. THUNDER BOOMED. THICK DROPLETS OF ACID RAIN PELTED DOWN ON THE LONE RIDERS OF THE NIGHT! Okay nah... in reality, in PAINFUL WET TIRING reality, lightning did strike, and there was a bit of thunder, but it drizzled. However, fearing for our lives (which are of extreme importance to us), we decided to take shelter in a small pavilion. We saw the sun rise, a little of it that is. When it became evident that the drizzle would not stop for a long time, we carried on with our cycling.

As per usual, i lagged somewhere at the back again. Was really zig zagging all over the place already. Kept losing my balance and was going around in circles. At one point of time, my vision went blurry. I was too tired i guess. Eileen was going strong. Well at first anyway haha (smiles)

IT WAS THEN, when the drizzle became... GIANT PAINFUL DROPLETS OF WATER. YIKES!!! Everyone started peddaling furiously, well as furiously as possible. We were cycling against the wind! I was frozen on my bike. Butt was dead, couldn't move at all, and my hands were stuck to the handle bar! Every car that passed us, splashed water on us. In fact, there was one long vehicle which SPED past us, and OH MY GOODNESS, he was going so fast that kenneth, eileen, jaden, jielong and me ALL swung to the left. It was as if the wheels were sucking us in, and to pull away, we had to swing. It was scary, i felt like i was being pulled by some invisible force or something. *shivers*

When we finally reached east coast park, eileen and me were seriously hysterical already. I was sneezing like nuts, we were both so cold, eileen's legs were stuck, i was pedalling for the sake of pedalling, even kenneth was on auto pilot already. Dead. Total deadness. The RAIN DOWNPOUR had no mercy on us. We were soaked, through and through. I took it as a sign that i was not meant to go for cell group. (Eileen and i are always unlucky. Everytime we need a change of clothes, we don't bring it. When we do bring, we don't need it!!)

In the end i did go for cell group, after a lot of borrowed items from people. Heh, thanks people!! Ashton lent me his shirt to change into, cause i was really shivering already, and i couldn't go to cell group looking like a drowned cat. Jaden lent me his sister's slippers (can't be his i think). Ahh so off to cell group i went!! =)

Oh on a side note, we waited in the cold for an hour to return our bikes, cause the shop man was an hour late!! *glares with loads of eye power*

Ahh this is from eileen too! It seems i'm quite ridiculously dumb in times of weariness. -.- -->

Ashton: Can you all take it?
Eileen: NO!!!!
Ashton: (directed to Loisa) Can you take it?
Loisa: Huh?
Ashton: Can you take it?
Loisa: Take what? Water? Oh, you can have some.
-Everyone faints-
Ashton: Errr, im thristy. -grabs some of her drink- Thanks.

Snort. Right okay long long sleepless day. Off to bed now. Good night! My legs had better be slimmer and my butt firmer (no not flater!!) after this intense cycling trip!!

3rd - 7th September 2007

This last week has been ridiculously ridiculous! We were told on monday that we were to be the first group to facilitate the group discussion on thursday, so it was a mad rush for the next few days. I had less than 8 hours of sleep for those three days!! No thanks to waking up at 5am to make medicine for someone with absolutely no blood relation to me!! ARGHH

Yep anyway, thursday went through smoothly, except that i forgot i had to open and introduce the group, til jonathan poked me to say i should start NOW, wah panick attack, in the end jane took over. Jane's a live saver!!

Right, so thursday, i reached home, and SMACK, into my bed. Head first of course. Got a bump but i didn't care, immediately proceeded to snoring my life away. Slept like a baby til friday, BUT I STILL HAD TO WAKE AT 5AM so, i had a good sleep, but not THAT great. Nutrition on friday, yada yada, then charles reminded us about the arranged overnight cycling that night.

I went into "HAH??" mode immediately. I had forgot all about it, because being the presumptious me, i conveniently thought it was off when no one responded to my suggestion of changing it to another date!! ROAR!!!

The end result was that jia zhen couldn't make it (cry) so eileen and i went ahead with it. Except that we would go later of course. -grin-

To read on about the painful overnight cycling --> Top

3rd September 2007

So anyway...

I found a mouse downstairs, it ran onto my shoe (YES ON TOP OF IT) and sat there, so I brought it home, and I've officially adopted it. Okay, illegally adopted it for my mum does not know about her. It's a her, by the way! =) Right I'll tell her when she gets home. I think she'll let me keep it since dad isn't home and it's so so sweet!!

Yep, that's all for now. No time to gush over the cute little twitching nose, the tiny paws that go pitter-patter pitter-patter on the marble flooring, the...

Right enough is enough, Loisa!

1. On the FIVE readings for Communications theory
2. On to the assignments for the Business and Professional Communication
3. On to the ANALYSIS of the advertisement for Principles of Persuasion
4. On to the ONE chapter reading for Sociology
5. On to the critical thinking questions and key terms for Chapter 2 of Sociology again
6. On the the TWO chapters readings for Nutrition

Loisa, you can go sulk and cry at one corner -_______-"

Ciao people!

Let's just pray i'll make it for cell group tomorrow, and will be able to meet angel after that! =)

21st August 2007

I'm pretty slow in all my updates, so erm, i'll just write about the highlight of this week, the one thing that loisa has never done in her entire life --> Bake cookies!

Well we decided on monday late in the night, that we should start being homely people who actually can bake, expecially if we love food. If we want to eat, we should learn how to make it. Thus, the baking of COOKIES at jielong's house. Reason being, none of us have a proper oven.

Well we were erm, late in meeting up, as per usual... Haha

We picked out all the ingredients in pasir ris NTUC, zzzz nearly died trying to find the sugar and chocolate chips!! They were hidden from sight!!

At jielong's house, he realized he didn't have vanilla essence, so we kindly followed him out to a NEARBY SHOP to get it, since he looked so lonely. NEARBY indeed ehh?? FAKE-O!! It was super far!! AND it was raining as well! *slaps jielong*

Okay on to the action. It went something like this...

1. Eileen, Jia zhen, and Loisa staring at all the different recipes in eileen's camera (she took pictures of the recipes)
2. We decided on cookies.
3. Somehow through the mixing of ingredients, the camera switched off on its own, so we had to click to go back to that particular picture of the recipe.
4. Loisa reads out ingredients from picture 1.
5. Eileen reads out ingredients from picture 2.
6. Jielong reads out ingredients from picture 3.

End result--> The naming of the "product"

1. Cookies (initial product)
2. Pancakes (half way through the process, the cookies looked and tasted like plain pancakes)
3. Cupcakes (we decided to add flavor)
4. Muffins (we decided to add mass)
5. Scones (we realized they were too hard to be muffins)

So well erm, yyyeeeaaahh, we made scones. Don't ask. *lying through teeth* "We intended to make scones all along!!" Loisa proclaims to the world.

Ahhh and i realized I'm in love with jielong's mum! His dad is lucky and smart to have married her. She gave us dinner that night! We were sulking at the dining table, waiting for the SCONES to be ready so we could put chocolate on them, when she brought out some funny roti pancake dish thing, with mutton and gravy. One thing lead to another, and in the end, it was like a full meal!! Included were fish, some Indonesian vegetable (i don't know why jielong hates it), beans sprout, rice, crackers... We were smiling like idiots throughout the meal. Extremely happy kids we were!

MAMA MIA!

She's one cool super mum! She looks so young too! An absolutely sweet host! I will never understand how she can manage a whole family, help out at work, come home to make all these food, take care of husband and sons, a grandmother too... -faint- LOVE HER!!

THANK YOU AUNTIE!!! =)

Okay better not gush too much, or my own mum will be jealous!!

10th August 2007

I've just realized we've been celebrating quite a few birthdays. I have a whole folder full of birthday pictures. =)

Thank you for that beautiful night! All of you. I'll never forget my 18th birthday. Be honoured that you made me cry =)

Love, loisa.

8th August 2007

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EILEEN!!

7th August 2007

aha! I've finally got some time to upload the before and after effects of the "GROOMING OF PEBBLES". It's quite hideous really, but i didn't have much choice. I have to keep Pebbles clean or she'll start her skin problems, ear problems, eye problems, mouth problems, backside problems... yes even her butt has problems. -.-

Well here you go!

This was after she has her bath, that's why she looks a little damp.



Before Grooming... awww the fluffed up Pebbles...






After Grooming... ??? pincher?? chihuahua? No it's Pebbles, the SCHNAUZER O-O"



But hey, she's one happy dog all the same! =)

The DMS monster strikes!

The DMS (during menstrual syndrome) monster in me has surfaced yet again! Drama unfolds once again at the dover residence...

Pebbles has been maddening ever since she's got home from the clinic! The animal clinic, that is. She has a slight fever, a ear infection, and a skin rash. Such a difficult baby. -.-

So anyway, she was given medication. 2 kinds of liquid to squeeze into her ear, kinda like ear drops, another liquid to wipe her rashes plus a cream to sooth the itch, and the worst kind of medicine to give a dog, antibiotic tablets.

*tuning in the "Madness in the Koh Household"*

Reporting live from the Koh Household.

It is time for the dog's medication. The mother grabs the dog by its hindlegs and flips her upside down, like roti prata. Loisa tries to squeeze the antiseptic ear droplets into the dogs ears. Unsuccessful. Ear drops are everywhere BUT the dog's ears. Pebbles escapes and runs under the dining table to hide. Mother follows, and the scene depicted is of a lady crawling in between chairs and around the table to catch a slime ball of a dog who's trying to escape "torture". Meanwhile, i am trying to open the packet of cotton buds so i can swap her ears, but the packet's is a little too tight. Suddenly, mother knocks against a chair, the chair toples over, and knocks down the fan. The fan falls on me, and the shock causes me to tear the packet open, and cotton buds are raining down on us. The dog goes mad, trying to eat the cotton buds, while loisa and the mother are scrambling from the pelting buds.

So the dog is now chewing on 5 to 10 cotton buds, all sticking out of her mouth. The mother holds the dog down, while i squeeze the liquid into her ears. Now, it's the tricky part. I have to use more buds to swap the ear wax out of Pebble's ears. WHOA MAYDAY! Flying growling snapping dog on the loose!! Pebbles evidently hates things being stuffed into her ears, so well... imagine a dog with buds sticking out of her mouth, and a few more out of her ears. Definitely not attractive.

Half an hour later, one ear is done, another half hour later, the other is done as well! It's medication time. Easy, right? Since the dog eats anything and everything! WRONG. DEAD WRONG. Pebbles ate the pill, and spit it straight out. EWWW??! I pry open her mouth, and the pill comes shooting out like a bullet, OOOWWW!. It smacked me in the eye. It's worse than feeding a baby medication! Argh! In the end, i had to open the pill, pour the powder out and entice her with durian. YES DURIAN.

Arghh... maddening day...

30th July 2007

ahh a quick post before i hit the sack... bed... pillow... whatever you call it!

JANE IS SUPER SWEET! *cry*

early, really early, birthday present! -grin- can i hug you again?



ahhhh my dog's sniffing the ribbon. *frown* She got the ribbon in the end by the way, so now i'm soaking it...



ahhh pretty! =) Jane's a good wrapper and tie-r... very pretty packaging and wrapper! I didn't want to open it up at all.



Aha this is what was inside... it's the green thing i loved to play with when Jane had it too!! And it smells so good, like powder, except it makes me sneeze. Most importantly, look at the candy inside!!!

*RED ALERT* SOUR SWEETS!! *cough* You can guess what happened next... *blinks*



ahh soft green thing =)

THANK YOU JANE! YEP I LOVE YOU!!

26th April 2007

Happy Birthday SHAWN erm, yesterday!! Gee ha ha, I'm so lagging in my posts, so Shawn, I'm definitely the last at least, to wish you a happy 17th birthday!!

ANYWAY, I've been busy the last few days. Busy and tired. So tired, that i couldn't even type a proper literate sentence to Eileen, Jia Zhen and Jielong yesterday. Rubbish. In the end, i just used the microphone to record what i wanted to say, sent the voice clip to them, and bounced into bed. I probably started snoring the moment my head touched the pillow. Being so tired, i couldn't wake up for school today either! Thank goodness Jielong called me. Otherwise i would honestly have missed class. Zzzz and guess what? I changed in double quick time, and RAN to school. YES RAN. I didn't take the bus; had no time for that. So i ran along the canal, past sunset way, past Maju camp, and into the SIM campus.

-faint- Do i look any skinner to you? Are my thighs less stumpy? *pleads* You can lie to me, really. When do we accept lies? Answer: when we want to believe those lies, and when they benefit the receiver. HAHAHA okay sorry, I'm talking to myself again.

Back to the point. The last few days was the EXAM MANIA. Meaning, my mid terms are FINALLY over. Meaning also, that the results are OUT! -_____- The percentage of the COM 240 (Mass Communications) exam was, is and will always be ridiculous. (BTW, he hates us. Biased.) It's 40 percent, for goodness sake!! There are 40 questions in total, so that sums it up i guess. 1 question --> 1 percent. I scored a 30 percent. That means i now have 90 percent and less, SUPPOSING i get full marks for my finals, my presentations etc. WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE. So... bye bye A. HELLOOO A- or a B+. I will not settle for less. *smacks head* Start mugging for the finals Loisa!!

Hmmm MGQ 301 (Stats) was tough. Initially i thought i could make it, but an hour and a half paper, turned out to be only 45 minutes!! (He shortened the duration of the exam paper!!) *pulls hair* You can guess what happened next i suppose. I couldn't check my paper, nevermind, BUT i couldn't even finish the paper!! I was still fumbling with one of the probability questions when the lady said "Pens down!!"

Shoot. Panic. Being the kan chiong spider i am, i shaded ANY answer in the scantron (a.k.a OTAS sheet) paper. And then i realized i shaded the WRONG question, meaning that question now had TWO answers, and there was STILL a question left unanswered! -faint-

--> Starts using eraser and erasing furiously, then scribbled some anyhow answer in the blank question, all while keeping an eye on the invigilators, afraid they might mark me down for scribbling. AND THEN, i also realized that i had forgotten to shade my name! I win.

Right moving on, Monday was a chaotic day. Why? Cause mum brought me to Tampines mall to shop (for herself) and to have lunch. I was quite sour face already since my exam was on Tuesday, and obviously i wasn't done studying, let alone done revising. Anyway, there was a sale going on, and i wondered over to the belt section. I needed to get a belt anyway.

The highlight was, ME, being ME, being LOISA, had to itchy itchy try on a belt, the metal clip buckle kind. LUCKY i didn't pull it tight, cause guess what, the buckle was stuck, and i couldn't pull it out. It was then officially stuck on Loisa's waist, over her t-shirt and pants. AHHHH

I ran to a corner of the shopping mall and breathed in as much as i could. "Mmm I'm quite skinny if i breathe in like this!" I thought to myself when i looked in the mirror. But then, what was i doing?! I had to breathe in more if i were to pull the belt down!! Okay so i couldn't. I was still too fat. So i tried pulling it up, and over my head instead. FINE, my shoulders were too broad, and the belt got stuck at my armpits. HOW HOW? My mum then found me and started snorting, then she went off to look at more clothes. Lovely mum, LOVELY. I was now on my own.

After more tugging, (and a bit of unbuckling of the pants so i would be skinnier) I managed to get it out, DUH. If not i would be crying now. It was a 100 plus belt!! Sigh, these things always happen to me, ME.

Okay i think this post is way too long already. I'm off! A sad thing happened yesterday, but I'm not gonna share it here. =) It's Loisa's own story. See ya! It's dinner time!

STARVING!!!

17th July 2007

AHHHH today was a terrible day from the start! Thinking back now, it was kinda of a funny day too. One must always try to laugh at herself. It's better than grumbling about what Murphy's Principal thing, the one Kenneth told me about. The law states that once something goes wrong, everything goes wrong at the same time.

My day was kinda like that, but it's maddenly bad, not the sad pissed kinda bad.

Today started off really sleepy. I woke up, lumbered about, and realized i was going to be late for school! So i rushed, and ran to the bus stop. Ahhh i was earlier than Jielong!! He was dead tired, couldn't even open his eyes! Poor guy. So anyway, met Gerard at the bus stop. He kinda scared me cause i didn't exactly see him. My eyes were half closed as well.

Up the bus we went, and alamak it was crowded like nuts!! So there we were, Jielong and i sleeping, Gerard awake. DING DONG. It's our bus stop already! I sleepily turned and AHHH!! I was so sleepy i just stoned there, not realizing that the people in front of me were not moving, BECAUSE IT WASN'T THEIR STOP!

"BANG!" The doors slammed shut.

"shoot shoot SHOOOOOT!!!!!" We were still on the bus!

"DING DONG DING DONG!!" I pressed the bell loads of times, but the bus driver refused to let us down. He carried on the the ngee ann bus stop. AHHHHHHHHHHHH we were going to be late! AND IT HAD STARTED TO RAIN!!!

We hopped off the bus ASAP, and i turned around. AHHHHHHHHH where's JIELONG?!

*mutter* that silly fella slipped past us, and he probably managed to alight by the front door at the SIM bus stop. So there we were, the three of us, Gerard, me, and a guy from a batch earlier than us... Stranded. At ngee ann poly. In the rain.

We did the only thing we could do.

RUN

Gerard and i ran like crazy in the rain back to school. The other guy gave up and just walked. Gosh... What a way to start the day! A romantic run in the rain with Gerard. PAH.

OOKAY nevermind. We managed to get to class on time. Nice. Not really. Why?

Half way through lesson, i realized i did something very stupid. Or rather, i didn't do something, which was stupid. And that was --> Sending our assignment to our lecturer the night before!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH PANIC! Jocelyn and i quickly borrowed cherie's laptop to work our stuff, and then GAHHH we were scolded by the lecturer.

*grumble grumble*

That's about the end of the drama though. The rest of the day, was UN-DRAMA-ED. Simply because we were all sleeping through our stats (MGQ) class. -.-"

Sleep sleep sleep. And talking about sleep, i'm going to do that REAL soon. I've got piano lesson tomorrow. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

4. I actually danced ballet when i was small. Thank goodness not anymore.
5. I'm afraid of giant statues, giant posters... anything giant that stares at me.
6. When thunder gets too loud, i get scared.
7. I ate a cockroach before. I thought it was chocolate.
8. Although i'm small, i REALLY do love food.

Ahhh i just randomly named people. -grin- Will you guys actually do it, i wonder... ? hmmm =)

8 Random Facts

Haha i am FREE, for now. It's that obvious, cause i'm doing all these stuff! -.-"

Anyway...

As tagged by Mrs. Koh............................................................................

#1 Random Fact : I'm hairy.
I'm quite hairy. Like really. Was just stretching my legs to think, and i found out i have hair everywhere!! Okay, it ain't that bad, but... ahhhh! That would probably because i don't shave my legs. After you read this, please don't go looking at my legs. -.-

#2 Random Fact : I'm still hairy.
I have hair at the bottom of my fingers too! Saw them when i was typing. Is this counted? It's counted. I want to get this over and done with quick! Haha

#3 Random Fact : Leggy Etiquette
I like to sit cross legged, or with my legs up! Observe carefully, and you'll realize that most of the time, my legs are up. -grin-

#4 Random Fact : More about hair?
I'm not obsessed with hair! REALLY! It's random, what can i do? Well right now, the fan is blowing at me, and i remembered that whenever my hair gets into my face, i prefer to ATTEMPT to blow it out of my face, looking like an idiot. I'm always too lazy to use the hands.

#5 Random Fact : Constant hunger pangs
I'm hungry... =( And i just had dinner! Shucks. Next meal, supper! =)

#6 Random Fact : Short attention span
I'm starting to lose focus. This is a bit too long for me. My mind is wandering to the supper i'll be having later on.

#6 Random Fact : Piano
I saw the piano on my right, and i've decided to share, that i don't particularly enjoy playing the piano. Or rather, i currently find it a chore, cause i'm not playing stuff that i like (argh exam pieces). Give me songs i know, songs i love, or worship songs, i'll painstakingly learn them all specially for you! AWAY WITH THE EXAMS! If i do pass grade 8, God has been good to me.

#7 Random Fact : Security Watch
I need a watch to feel secure. Without one on my wrist, i feel so empty, with no confidence at all.

#8 Random Fact : Happiness
I'm easily satisfied and happy. Upon realizing that i'm at my last random fact, i just let out a whoop, and felt this immense joy in my heart! I'm serious! It takes very little to make me happy. =)

So... make me happy and do this people!

Eight Persons:

1. Samantha
2. Audrey
3. Sandra
4. Bonnie
5. Charles??? Haha i don't think you'll even see this though haha!
6. Okay this is ridiculous. No one can come up with so many people! I won't rename those whom i have tagged in the above post. It'll kill them.

3rd July 2007

It's emily's birthday today! mmm HAPPY BIRTHDAY! -grin-

Anyway, WHOOOA i got back my results for the two subjects today! okay fine, so i got a B, ah well... *mutters something inaudible* BUT THEN, wahahahaha i got an A- for intercultural communications. So people, haha i now consider myself a very cultural person. HAHA nah, okay i'm a little high. Eileen did pretty good too! Now we can all grin like idiots til our dooms day next week, when we have to do our FIRST quiz! AHHHH *screams*

Right, off to erm, do something practical and useful.

NAH haha, let me enjoy myself a little first, perhaps tomorrow i'll go down practice my piano tonight or something.

*grinning*

Hike on 29th June 2007

Right so the day started off ridiculously tiring already. Most of us had 3 to 4 hours of sleep only, and we had to awake at 8am to set off for our hiking trip --> MacRitchie to Bukit Timah, the SUPPOSED Level 3 Trail. Jia zhen and i took the same bus and we happily thought we were going to be early. Guess what? We overshot by erm, 10 plus bus stops? Soo... Here we are somewhere in serangoon instead of Lornie Road, where we were supposed to be...



Yep, she's all ready to celebrate Singapore birthday. She LOVES SINGAPORE after all! haha -grin-



Okay, we're pissed... somewhat. We soon saw the funny side of things. We're happy, optimistic people!

Right so on to the hike itself, somehow, i don't know how, we landed up taking the LEVEL SIX trail, which is the toughest one of all! GAHHH but then again, haha don't look down on us. The after effects were not as bad as the ODAC hike either! Anyway... --> For the photos...



Yep, i climbed up onto a tree stump and stood awkwardly up there...



Sooo, finally we reached the Tree Top Trail... Yeah, it's long, but it's pretty stable! =)



The three girls...



And the lonely guy, who was abandoned by his comrade who flew off without him.



It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a FLYING LIZARD!!!



Yep, this was what Jia Zhen and Jielong were looking at...



Here, There, WHERE???



The view... It looks a little dark, cause it was beginning to drizzle already.



Coming up next... --?



AHHH LONG FLIGHT OF STAIRS!! *pant pant*



Jielong was dying...



While the three girls were as fit as can be!!

Oh oh, there was one funny bit. It started to drizzle then, and there was a little bit of thunder, and of course, clouds were clouding the area. We happened to be singing this song -->

"As we hold on together, i know our dreams will never die, dreams see us through to forever, WHERE CLOUDS ROLL BY, for..."

*ROAR WITH LAUGHTER* At that precise moment, we noticed the clouds literally rolling by!! haha

OH, and i guess at this point of time, Jielong was feeling cranky since he couldn't catch up with the girls (NAH haha he did pretty well. He was Mr. Strong Man since he helped us carry ALL our bags too!), he decided to spite me. I was commenting that bees ZOOM past, and he corrected me harshly, saying "BEES DO NOT ZOOM. CAMERAS ZOOM". -.-" oookay whatever. -.-

Right... so we continued on our walk... -->



Nice manly Jielong offered (okay, so he didn't. We just kinda dumped the stuff on him), to carry our bags for us. ALL our bags. He was the porter for today, for the price of 10 dollars!! (NAH haha, he did it for free)



The ladies and the Porter...



Yeaahhh, our never-ending trail. Sigh...

--> Soo we walked, and walked, and walked... til we came to a clearing. HUH?? "Where to from here??" we asked ourselves. I walked to one end, with pipes and a steep clift hanging drop, and wondered "NO LA, we're not supposed to climb across the pipes, ARE WE??" Jia zhen wandered over to the other end, staring at grass, trying to find a trail of some kind. Finally, blind Jielong became not so blind after all. HE FOUND THE TRAIL!!



That STUPID TINY sign!! How is any human eye supposed to find THAT? So there we are, prepared to fight the misleading sign...



Well we passed by this sign "Stop feeding the monkeys", so we decided to take a picture with it! "Stop feeding us!!" Haha by the way, the stuff we're holding to our mouth are peach gummies... YUM!



There was an army camp nearby, and we made a fool of ourselves by taking numerous pictures of our reflections in the mirror thing... The guards were glancing at us every now and then! Haha

Another "break through" from the jungle. --> We came across some interesting boulders to pose with...



Jielong the Monkey god without powers, Loisa the Wise Sage of Knowledge, Jia Zhen the goddess of Peace...



Shucks, i look like the Fed Ex man delivering some parcel, which Jia zhen refuses to accept. She probably thinks it's a bomb or something...



Okay, i don't know what this is, nor what we're both doing. I'm probably unleashing my fearful powers on the disobedient Jia Zhen.

Oh we then passed by this durian loop thing, where durians were everywhere!! We were just waiting for one to drop on our heads -->



Oh it was at this point of time when i supposedly, as quoted by Jielong, began to "spray insect repellent on Jia zhen like i was spray painting some car". -.- (He's probably just jealous that i didn't offer to spray him.) I think i sprayed too much anyway, cause i began coughing like an idiot, saying my nose was sensitive (which it REALLY is!!), and that Jielong KINDLY shared that "it was because Loisa is a bug, that is why she's repelled". GRUMBLE. Stupid powerless Monkey god knows NOTHING.



AHA we finally arrived at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve!!! 13 KILOMETERS later!! 13 KM from MacRitchie to Bukit Timah!!

*Note: There's a squirrel on the left of the boulder eating nuts! =)

After dinner... KABONK. On the bus...



Tired out!

We've made a vow, to hike/trek/exercise twice every month! We'll see how it turns out! Haha!

Ps. Eileen had a very interesting encounter with monkeys. When we all went to the restrooms, she sat outside with our stuff, and FOOD. The monkeys went up close to her, and tried opening our plastic bags of food. Zzzzz

27th June 2007

Haha okay this is quite sad. The end of the finals, and we go home to catch up on sleep and rest and zzzz... So we go on the net and do these -.-" Haha anyway here's what i did!

Loisa, your Good Heart makes you a real beauty

People consider themselves lucky to call you a friend...or even an acquaintance. Compassionate and caring, you're the first person to step up and help someone in need. You've got a sympathetic ear and are willing to listen to a friend gush about a tough breakup, a horrible workweek, or even just a bad hair day.

But all this kindness doesn't mean you're a pushover. You've got the confidence and charisma to stand up for what you believe in, especially yourself. You want to make a difference in the world, and you're not afraid of doing a little hard work along the way. Now that's what we call heart.

HAHA i'm honoured! Hahahahaha... -grin impishly-

Loisa, in the morning, you're Still Sleepy

Sleepyheads like you are the reason they invented the snooze button. "Another five minutes! Just another five minutes." Okay, maybe one more...But eventually you do get up to face the day and arrive wherever you need to be in somewhat decent shape.

That said, after your initial reluctance to get out from under the covers, we'd guess you're pretty eager to get your day going. And while you probably won't be up with the roosters (or at least volunteer to be), you're able to be surprisingly productive before noon. Sometimes you just may need a little nudge or strong cup of coffee to get going. Then you'll be off and running!

WELL... grumble frumble... hahahahaha but it's true i guess. I just LOVE the SNOOZE button... Sigh...

Loisa, you're an Indulgent Eater

You, more than others, truly gain satisfaction from eating. And because of this, you sometimes have difficulty slowing down or just saying no. You enjoy eating and what's great about that is you understand how to appreciate certain aspects of food that others do not. You see food as more than just a source of nutrition or energy. For you, dining, or just plain eating, can be a really enjoyable experience. On the downside, however, you might sometimes indulge too much in the satisfaction you get from eating.

Okay heh heh... was laughing at this one. HAHA!! Also true i guess... FOOD here i come!!!

Future Research

Today was a day of studying... NOOPE. Today was a day of... laughing, rolling eyes, hunger pangs, and rushing through an assignment.

Riiight. Jia Zhen and i were SUPPOSED to do a write up on the future research that could possibly be done with regard to "content analysis", while Eileen was SUPPOSED to be studying and reading her COM 205 notes... But ah well, er... the PSYCHO guys (although evidently they're becoming notoriously known for being sexually harass-ful gays) were distracting us with their video for a presentation. They just couldn't keep their hands off each other! It was getting HOT IN THERE!! Ps: They were all wearing their business attire!! Aha all looked so cute, little boys who all grew up!

So well, we got stucked with our assignment and Jia zhen typed out --> "In the future..."

And i started typing out the potential future of the psycho sexually harassed guys. It soon became our very own fairytale. Of course, Jia Zhen and Eileen added a few inputs, outputs, throughputs here and there... And the result...

Take a look at the future research of our assignment... -->



(So here's our very own created fairytale, which will never come true sniff sniff)

Oh anyway, we went up to the office during the consultation hours to ask Dr. Barnett for help, and we met Dr. Baban instead. I was so muddled when he asked "Who are you looking for?" that i went..."Baaaa Baaaa BAAAAAA NET!!" -.-"

Soo we went up a second time later and frahhh! Suddenly there were so many lecturers inside office!! The atmosphere was so serious and scary that all three of us kept a terribly straight face. In fact, Jia Zhen was SO straight that she probably gave poor Dr. Barnett a fright. He asked about the wall paper on her face of her laptop, and she gave this incredulous looked, paired with a disgusted tone "THE FRAY!!!", while i muttered in the background "a band". Sheesh! Such a terrifying person this Jia Zhen is.

Oh a side note, guess who i found sleeping in class the other day?



-grin- revenge is sweet.

17th June 2007 (Great Trek of Loisa)

People of Singapore, you now see before you, a transformed Loisa. A beautiful, slim, graceful, glamorous...



(I was yawning and my neighbor snapped a picture of me)

Okay no. But hey, there's a reason for this. I just spent the last one and a half hours exercising. SERIOUS exercising. Non stop exercise.

By the way, i slept at 7am, and woke up at 10am, so I'm already quite dead. But thanks to the exercise, my body is now dead, but my mind fully awake.

Piano lesson ended at 3pm. 3pm i happily walked down 19 stories, stupidly thinking i might as well exercise a bit. I then walked to the bus stop, stupidly stood there for quite some time, and grumbled to myself why the bus was taking so long.

I couldn't take it anymore, and i went to glare at the bus sign. OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS PUFF!!! The bus does not operate on Sundays!!!!! Very good. So i gathered up what loisa strength i had, and started walking, from the furthest end of buona vista, to the furthest end of dover.

About one bus stop away, i saw an old OLD man on a wheelchair, and an old OLD lady walking. They were together, probably man and wife. The lady was walking with a stick, the old man was wheeling himself, and their groceries were on the handles of the wheelchair. They were going in the same direction, so i thought, "ai ya, better walk in front, cause the roads later will be very narrow, kena stucked behind them very jia lact, lose momentum of walking, i will die."

Okay loisa slaps herself now. Cause guess what, the old OLD couple overtook me within 10 minutes. So walk some more, my face was getting redder. It was then where we reached Mount Sinai Rise, which is a LONG STEEP SLOPE. At the top of the hill would be my place.

I stood at the bottom, staring up, thinking how i would like to spend the last few minutes of my life. And to note, the couple were half way up the hill already. So i looked down at my feet, took a deep breath, and marched upwards.

SUDDENLY

"??? How come got rambutan rolling past me. And another, and another.... hmmm..."

THEN

EH SIAM ARH SIAM ARH!!!!

"What the...?"

Loisa looks up.... SSSSSSSSSHOOOOOOOTTTTT! Wheel chair rolling backwards!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH oranges, apples, rambutans rolling zig zag towards me.... RUN RUN RUN!!!

So the scenario...

Old lady clippety clack down the hill after her husband, who was rolling straight down towards me, and the oranges, apples and rambutans were already criss crossing each other past me...

SHOOT. Dilemma. Run for my life, or attempt to stop the rolling old man, and get flattened in the process?

Decision. Be the heroine.

*Olympics music comes on*

Loisa knew if she wouldn't be able to stop a wheelchair which was gathering speed, on the slope. So she threw her bag down and ran for the bottom of the slope, to stop the wheelchair there.

SUCCESS! Loisa is alive. But guess what? The grocery bags had split open, thus the rolling fruits. So the old man held the fruits in his hands, while i PUSHED THE WHEELCHAIR UP THE SLOPE.

Yeah *pant pant*

Okay drama over. Reached the lifts of loisa's block.

??? ARGHHH both lifts spoilt!!!! MUST CLIMB UP 21 STORIES!

Fine. so i climbed, and climbed, and climbed.

Reached the 21st level... OMG this is one sickening-biased-against-loisa day!!! The door between the stair case and my level was locked!!!! The security guard forgot to unlock it for us residents!!!!

FINE. I slided down 21 stories to get the guard, and then CRAWLED, yes CRAWLED. LITERALLY. Up the stairs, again 21 stories, after him, and finally...

HOME. Ahhh bliss.

In total, i climbed 19+21+21+21 stories today, walked from end of buona vista to end of dover, walked up a slope, only to run down it, and to go up again...

Yeah. I'm skinny now. Thanks to the Great Trek of Loisa.

Shawn

THANK YOU SHAWN! you made my day!!! i need my cookie haha

Don’t lose your faith
When things like that happens
Stand strong after each coming wave
Don’t be left battered and beaten

Look beyond what you are encountering
And seek for that motivation
I believe what you are going through is vexing
But handle each task with peace and patience

I know you will overcome this
Loisa I know will stay strong
A resolve that won’t be ceased
Just don’t prove me wrong

Loisa has no cookie
But soon will have two
One for not being grumpy
And another one for pulling it through!

When you need helping hand
I’ll be here ready and set
To help you through to the end
Just don’t give up yet!

My first C ever

Okay i'm in a gloomy mood. That must be why i had a really scary bad dream last night. I'm worrying way too much, but i should be worrying!!

I got my first C ever! Cry? Yeah... A C for an assignment i worked so hard for. *mumble* SNIFF.

Right loisa. WORK IT! do NOT cry over spilled milk (but i really feel miserable!!)

Just do well loisa!! =) Right i can do it!

Think research. Feel formal. BE COM 205!!

5th June 2007

A glimpse into the UB life...







Sigh...

God is everything!

In searching for me, i discovered truth
In searching for truth, i discovered love
In searching for love, i discovered God
In searching for God, i found everything!!

Ahhhh smile!

COM 205 Assignment 1

*Whines of the Whines.*

This assignment is way too hard! We currently have a communications module called "Research Methods in Communication". Goodness it REALLY does require A LOT of research.

1: It's so hard to find the articles! Every page you click into requires you to relog into the ub learns website and WHO on earth can ever remember their UB password? No human can do that!! It's way too long and random.

2: Why are the articles so long? It's taking forever to read them... *grumbles* It's two articles too!

3: hah?? After reading, i still don't get it.

4: Ai yooo, where's the "number of times it's cited"?? We have to include that in our report and it sure doesn't state the number of times in the article! *mutters*

5. The exams are coming and i don't even know when. What are we supposed to study again?

6. There isn't enough happy food around.

Anyone who wants to whine with me is welcome to join the club. -grin-

An Only Child

Oh yeah, i just decided to name the advantages and disadvantages of being an only child. All whose first reaction is

"Shoot! Loisa must be spoilt since she's an only child" can go jump into the lake. I REALLY dislike hearing that come out from a person's mouth, especially if it's for the first time that the person has met me.

Advantages

1. Sure, i get my parents attention but eh come on, do you REALLY want your parents' attention ALL THE TIME? That's like eerie, and they're always watching you... *shiver*

2. Your parents will kinda protect you a little more, cause hey, no one wants to lose their only child. I guess i would not exactly be more precious, as every child is precious to their parents, but as i'm the only "KOH" left, i think my parents would "kind of" feel it more if anything happens to me

3. Yeah okay i don't have to fight with siblings or suffer from jealousy or anything, but then again, my survival and independant skills wouldn't be as good right? For example, at the food table, my parents love me so much they leave food for me, even when i'm a slow eater. With siblings, you have to practically FIGHT with CHOPSTICKS to get the stuff you want to eat. BUT, that gives you the fighting spirit, it makes you eat faster, it makes you defend for yourself.

4. Okay i'm not going to hit this option down like i did for the first 3 advantages. This fourth one is the best advantage of all. I get to have a dog. Plain and simple. =) and I'm loving it!!

Disadvantages

1. I'M SO LONELY. I've got no humans to talk to, and none to reply me. I talk to plants, lizards, and a dog, who woofs in reply. That's so not gonna improve my english language. -.-" Lately, my parents have been working lots, so don't give me that attitude and say "oh loisa, but you've got ALL your parents attention." I will like, slap you! Nah, haha, i'm gentle, but i hope you get my point =)

2. Since grown ups are supposedly less prone to mistakes or something like that, the kid is usually the "naughty" one in the house, and that's loisa!

For example: Pipe choked. Loisa must be balding, all her hair must have clogged up the pipe. Loisa's fault.

Computer spoil. Loisa's fault. Isn't she the one who uses it the most?

Windows (in master bedroom mind you) not closed. Must be Loisa's fault.

Telephone out of battery. Loisa's fault.

Parents' work papers lost. HAS to be loisa cause she's so untidy she must have dumped her things everywhere and now the papers are lost. Loisa's fault.

Basically, anything that goes wrong in the house, loisa's fault. Why? Cause she's supposedly home most of the time, there's no one else at home since dad's working and mum would never do anything so wrong; thus, it's loisa!!

*mutter*

I'm not being bitter, but hey yeah, see it from my point of view! No siblings to share the burden, no cousins to cry with or go out with, ahhh BORING. Haha no life. Nah... That's all.

I'm just ranting -.- But i love my family, there ain't no doubt about it. =)

Thank you Lord, for my family.

Year 2007

Year 2007 has been one weird one. I guess it's me growing up and maturing and being a year 2 student or something. -.- You get what i mean, angel =) We both think about it and go nuts over it. It definitely has to do with age i think. Either that or my parents have gone mad, or i've lost all my sane-ness.

My parents have been well, reprimanding me a lot this year, although we do have quite a few good laughs too. Guess what's up with this post? I'm now in a neighbor's place escaping my own home, cause it's too much. I just feel so sad and frustrated, and with my parents around, i always end up crying like mad and not feeling good about anything.

I just came home from tampines (church), and when i got home, i let my dog out cause she was whining and crying for me. I had to pee so i rushed to the loo to well, pee. The next thing i knew, my dad was yelling at me, physically pushing me aside when i tried to give my dog water, and well yeah, you get the point. He was angry with loisa. I just didn't know why. When he returned into his room (the study room which is practically his), i just went to a corner of the house and cried with my dog. I think i was so frustrated. I recently lost my handphone. Just yesterday actually. I lost it after a movie, i guess someone must have stolen it. I'm angry at myself too i guess. Within 5 minutes, it was gone -.- *mutters* KARMA fella! you WAIT! *loisa throws in lizard tails, snakes eyes, and argh tomatoes, then mutters a spell*

Earlier, my dog bit the laptop adapter, and my parents were real mad at me. I don't know, maybe i'm sensitive this year or something, but i cry so much because of my parents. They have this ability to make me cry so easily. It's not their words, it's their actions. Their nonverbal cues (gee, i'm putting my communications studies to good use). =) Not bad.

Yesterday, i was telling my mum i'm sorry for the disappearance of my handphone, and that i didn't mind using her old handphone.

Mum: I don't care, i'm not getting you a new phone. You jolly well use the old phone!!"
Loisa: Okay i don't mind, it's fine with me.
Mum: Don't use those words with me.
Loisa: (???) Sorry mummy, i didn't mean it.

Yeah, that's my life story. I seem to be getting scolded a lot without quite knowing why. I'm not blaming anyone, not my parents, well i guess not myself either. I'm not very sure. I'm confused.

There's the curfew incident too, when i presumed it was okay going home at 11pm since my mum didn't say anything everytime i come home late from dinner after school or after stuff with school mates. One day though, i called home around 8 plus and told the folks that i was taking the 9.45pm shuttle bus from aloha loyang (chalet, a friend's birthday party) and i would reach home at 11pm the latest. WHOA DRAMA! My mum was yelling at me through the phone, saying my dad was extremely angry. I was again "???". Well anyway, that sorted out, my curfew is now 10.30pm. I feel it's miscommunication, cause never before had my mum addressed disapproval at the time i was going home, and my dad certainly never said anything. -.- But of course, it was my fault for coming home and all that yada yada.

I guess what i'm trying to say is, is it wrong to say it really isn't ACTUALLY my fault for all these stuff? I mean, half the time i don't even know what happened when i get reprimanded. Okay yeah, i guess it's my fault sometimes, but i don't really believe it. Okay am i making sense? Right nevermind. Let's just leave it alone.

I was just so sad and tired just now that i cried the hardest ever just now. Everything was building up i think. I love Pebbles =) -smiling a lot now-

BUT THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS YEAR?

The Lord my God.

Cell group has been great! This is the only cell group i've ever felt comfortable in, and the only one i truly feel God's presence. He's there all the time. He never fails to revive me again. This year, i'm gonna love God more and know Him better. Help me do that, all of you out there, fellow sisters and brothers in Christ! =)

Love this song =) When i was so down earlier on, i was just letting the song flow over me, and i felt so good after that. Allow me to share it with you guys!

"Salvation is here"

Cause I know my God saved the day
And I know His word never fails
And I know my God made a way for me
Salvation is here

"God He Reigns"

Holy One
Holy One
Al creation bows to worship

Hallelujah
Glory in the highest

I will sing
I will sing His praises forever

God He reigns
God He reigns

God He reigns
God He reigns forever more

All I need is You
All I need is You Lord
Is You Lord.

Dear Heavenly Father,
i love You. You reign in my life.

Fort Canning Hill

Have you ever been to Fort Canning Hill? It's really pretty there, all the nature, trees, birds, spices... and one specific "monkey" eh? (*snorts*)

Here is a small slideshow, on what we saw. Haha obviously the pictures are not taken by me, not with a lousy camera phone like me (that's what you get with a free samsung handphone). I found these pictures on the net, but it's what i saw with my own eyes! It's beautiful down there! =)

Feast your eyes, on Singapore's very own Fort Canning Hill!

Ps: I just viewed the slideshow through my blog, and i got a major headache. It's moving too slow, and it keeps zooming at a jerky pace, but i can't find any nicer layout of a slideshow, so erm, sorry, if you get motion sickness too, do click on the "view show" at the bottom right hand corner of the slideshow. It's easier on the eyes, but not so shiok. haha =)
