29th July 2008

OOOO it's been years since i took a cab, but i did it last sunday!! 27th july! Timothy's birthday! okay i'm digressing..

My point is.. I TOOK A fuhhrigging CAB! And it was extremely expensive. Haha Eileen said it's not too bad, but i just can't accept that anyone will pay over 15 dollars for a ride home. It's like, the cost of two movie tickets or 150,000 fishballs or 75,000 meat balls! OOMMMGGG

Okay but since it's for audrey, i did it. =))

Now never again. And the uncle was whoa, F1 racer. He was driving at 120 km/hr. I think i would have fainted in the car, had i not been so afraid he'll drive me to some place other than my home. Why? Cause he's partially deaf, and his comfortable language is Chinese. Soo.. you can guess and imagine the conversation we had when i first got into the cab.

Loisa: Uncle, Mount Sinai Rise.
Uncle: Ha? Simi??
Loisa: Si what? Mount Sinai Rise. Ulu pandan na pian.
Uncle: HAH? Wo ting bu dao.
Loisa: UUULLLUUU PAN-DDDDAAANNN!!
Uncle: Orh, ghim moh na bian ah?
Loisa: Si si.
Uncle? HAH??
Loisa: DUI GHIM MO NA LI!

-cab ride-

Uncle: xiao jie, zhuan ze bian ah?
Loisa: ha? BU SHI BU SHI! Ni...
Uncle: ni yao qu boon lay?!
Loisa: WHHHATT?? Nono, ni zi zou.. dao na ke... shan? (translation: you go straight, to that hill.)
Uncle: Zi bian ah?
Loisa: ah. Then ni zuan you, no zhuan zuo, no zuan.... turn left LEFT!
Uncle: Aiyo.

I'm not taking a cab anytime soon. Gotta stick to cheeep public transport.

19th July 2008

At the rate i'm going, i'll be extremely sick for this week. Seriously a lack of sleep. Anyway, the wedding was today, and i wanted to cry when they were making the speeches but i didn't want to mess up all the muck mum put on my face. Sigh...

Decided to take pictures with cousins and family (aunts and uncles) cause seriously, how often do i get to see them? No, the important question is, how often do we look this good? Haha if i'm in the mood, after i've got some sleep (had around 3 hours of sleep last night), i'll post some pretty pictures.

Mama Kong Kong! Did you see the wedding? You were there right? I could feel you guys.. G looked gorgeous! And as much as i refuse to admit it, cause he's taken my cousin away, Victor is kinda nice. And he loves her. I wanna play with their baby. I hope they'll let me =))

You first grandchild is now married mama kong kong! Soon it'll be my turn! Okay not that soon zzzz... Maybe i won't get married. haha i'll think about it.

Okay back to studying. Sigh, another day of little sleep. Really will sneeze and cough lungs out. Oh and guess what? The theme of the wedding was "popcorn", so... The food was different flavors of popcorn. SURE SORE THROAT! *cough*

=)) Anyway as out of place i felt, it was a happy occasion. =))

17th July 2008

HoHO! Brought pebbles down for a walk today, was feeling quite sleepy cause of the medication. Mum went down with me, and she was the one walking the dog actually. haha i carried the poo bags; you could say i was doing the dirrty job! hahahah!

Anyway, we bumped into an asian dog and a caucasian boy. I say asian dog cause it's one SUPERBLY ugly cute chinese crest. And i say caucasian boy cause my mum said he's one. Obviously i didn't take notice of him at all, i was more interested in the dog. But somehow, when our dogs met, i was going ga-ga-goochi over the doggie, and my mum kept smiling idiotically at the boy. I was wondering why, but i couldn't see him clearly anyway.

Picture a boy with dark hair, black clothes, under the shadows of a tree, at 8.32pm in the night. Scary right? The dark knight. >.<

And yes, my mum was so eager to set me up that she checked the time and practically ordered me to go back to that tree again tomorrow at 8.32pm. Too bad i've got cell group! haha boys can wait. God first hahaha

Loisa: Why? He's very cute ah?
Mum: YESS GAHH Very... *shivers with glee* CUUUTEE!
Loisa: -_- as cute as his chinese crest dog?
Mum: YESS as cute as his... WHAT??!
Loisa: *humming as she walks off*
Mum: *muttering behind*

17th July 2008

I've decided that i will not visit a friend's blog for a little while, cause i refuse to lose my temper nor carry on a conversation with a person who insults me, and my friends.

I left the conversation with a clear conscience and on a nice note, and i am not going back.

But it's still sad, to me lar. That they are people out there who feel so sad and miserable about their lives, and therefore go out and ruin everyone else's lives whom are the opposites of them. I think it isn't fair to judge and make snide comments, but i don't think i was wrong to make the first tag in the first place. And i really did it in love, not in anger, not in arrogance, and certainly not to show I'm a saint, cause for goodness sake, I'm SOOOO far from a saint, it's laughable! Man if people call me a saint, it's probably the biggest compliment ever! =))

Anyway, i think the bottom line is that this silly person has effectively made me doubt myself. I know religion is a sensitive topic, and that is why i made sure never to push anyone, although churches always tell us to evangelize blah blah, but i try not to make anyone feel uncomfortable. And i thought i was saying it in love to a fellow sister and friend i truly care about, so BAH. Now i don't even dare to say God bless to anyone except family and cell group.

And as I'm typing this, I'm thinking, STUPID SATAN has put this doubt in me! I don't care. I'm going to carry on doing whatever i think is right. God will guide me. MY God. The ONE GOD I BELIEVE IN. So there. Putty.

Ha ha okay the last two fragments are so childlike, but it seemed so funny, for emphasis. Ha ha

Which leads me to think about something else. Rarely do i stand up for myself, nor get mad or even realize when people supposedly bully or make use of me. And when i do realize, i find it hard to counter attack. But, when my friends or family gets into trouble or are insulted, suddenly I'm able to do something, or at least feel something, like horrendous anger ha ha. Okay not so dramatic but something like that. Okay never mind. Dog just licked my face and i lost my train of thought.

Random babbling. Alright see ya... and Here's to everyone out there, Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, free thinkers, whoever. GOD BLESS! From the bottom of Loisa's heart. I want the best for you, I'm not forcing you to accept my God. It's my way of wishing you well! Byee!! =)

14th July 2008

Heh dad bought a chair from Ikea, cause our two swivel chairs at home are rubbish. They've been sat on til the seats are so flat, so hard, so uncomfortable.

ANYWAY, he cleverly bought one on discount, and when he came home, he poked me in my eye, and asked me to go fix it. Clever man. Know how to buy, don't know how to put it together -_-

So i was Loisa, the builder, can we fix it?

Loisa, the builder, YES I CAN!

Yep, i did it. Hammered my finger but it happens haha. SO now it's done! Happy =)

IKEA's stuff are quite idiot proof. Very easy to fix. Yada! =))
