30 December 2009

Whooo it's coming to the end of 2009. Perhaps i'll have a more intellectual or fun post tomorrow hwen i'm more awake. Technically it's already 31st since it's 12.30pm. Finishing up my minutes now.

Stepped on a nail, so now i'm hopping around at home and at work. Sigh.. drama is my life.

Meet me, and you meet drama.

Off to bed soon... Happy New Year everyone =)

Pretty Christmas decorations at orchard area. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!! =)

WASHY WASHY MACHINE

MY NEW WASHING MACHINE IS HERE!!!

I was like grinning from ear to ear when i started the first test cycle.

ahhhh... the feeling of such blissful satisfaction, knowing that my clothes will be soaped, washed, and rinsed effectively by my machine... *sigh*....

Anyway, i think i'll get a dryer next. But give me a month or two to save up first. HA! After that, it'll be a bicycle. Then a car. Then then then...

hee hee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

8 November 2009

HA! A few posts ago, i mentioned that i'd get a new washing machine with my first pay check yeah?

Haha finally i'm following through with it. I JUST PUT A DOWN PAYMENT FOR A BRAND NEW WASHING MACHINE. heeelloooo mama.... haha

Happy. No more washing clothes and rugs and sheets like nuts. Yay

Hope this machine will last =D

23rd September 2009

Was just clearing up my folders and i was a little stunned haha. Can't believe my dog looks so different!!

From this...



To this...

22 September 2009

I'm gonna be so busy in October, i'll almost be away every weekend, to the effect of the whole month! Ahhh...

Anyway, i'm too lazy to blog word posts, so here's pictures! Very erm, backdated pictures haha...

I promised Angel i'd take a picture of my birthday presents from her! Haha i'm uploading it so late >.<



And i was motivated to get Christmas presents for my relatives haha. Yeah i was told it's ridiculously early but hey.. all in the name of the Christmas spirit yea? Or rather, haha i know that i'll be simply too lazy to rush with the crowd nearer to the month!! =D

25th July 2009

So hmm... haha just some pictures for you to see... A friend gave this to me after my graduation! =) It's nice to sleep with haha



And yeah, i was bored and decided to traumatize my dog...



Will post more pictures later after dinner! =)

13th July 2009

I've... GRADUATED!! =D



Ahahahhaa happy =) But i'll miss my friends. It's so hard to get together now that we've got our own stuff to take care of, work, perhaps school for some if they continue studying.. etc. Sigh...

Anyway, work's pretty fun. I've got great colleagues, but some are leaving already since they're gonna start school. I'll miss them too =(

There's this really enthusiastic colleague who's so passionate about God, it's amazing. He's started this prayer group thing for us, DURING LUNCH. Can't complain though, since it's for God. Haha. Good excuse to start reflecting more, and stop eating so much (quick lunch instead).

Yeah anyway, i've been feeling blessed lately. My friends are spoiling me ~.~

Angel - THANK YOU FOR COOKIES! Although it's like so little, but OKAY, i won't be so greedy haha. You're the best baker ever. I'll try to follow in your footsteps and attempt the cheesecake AGAIN. Er, one day. haha <3

Amelia - I just wanted to say i love you! haha

Gordon - You should stop being so nice to me. Don't stun me like that again. =)

Ken - Thank you for the ride home, even though you got home really late =)

And everyone else! God's been so good to all of us, always give thanks! =))

7th July 2009

ahahaha amelia's birthday celebrations!

Can't believe i travelled all the way to Simei after an event which was after work, which meant i reached simei at 10 plus pm. Nuts. haha Just goes to show how much Amelia means to me ah.

Anyway... here's a picture of us! HA!



ps: To Angel, i'm not that black! It's the LIGHTING. And the black shirt. >.<

15th June 2009

Oh goodness I'm so so so tired! NO idea why. Work isn't THAT bad. Maybe i'm just out of shape haha.

Anyway, just something cool i did during the weekend when i went to observe the "Leadership Development Course" for the senior Boys. A colleague.. okay colleague sounds so formal. A friend brought me to see a tunnel remotely located near the BB/GB Campsite. It's REALLY DARN COOL!

Imagine those dilapidated houses with creaky stairs, winding pathways, creepy hallways, and dark windows filled with cobwebs.

Okay i will not let myself get excited all over again, or my imagination will run wild. Plus i REALLY need to get some sleep NOW, or i'll go nuts in office tomorrow.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Creepy Tunnel



The Window



Gordon in the Tunnel



Gordon snapped one of me


Pretty awesome isn't it?!?!?! Alright, NIGHT PEOPLE! God bless

6th June 2009

Okay i better blog these before i smash onto the bed again. I've been so tired these days. It feels as if i've went through major child birth. Right, nonsense.

Anyway, this is where i've been spending my days and hours and minutes.



Compliments of Oilam...



And just to make my post pretty...

Mornings...

Today, i came to a realization that my reaction time is pretty quick, for a supposedly slow moving and lost-in-space person.

At 7.50am in the morning, while i was still in my dream land, chasing after this huge ikan bilis which escaped from my also extremely huge bowl of tom yam ban mian (yeah, i was actually dreaming of school food; just goes to show how much i miss school). In fact, i was actually about to catch up with it, and just when i opened my mouth to bite off its tail...

bzzzzzzz... bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

What in the name of ikan bilis...???

It sounded as if a million mosquitos had flown into my bedroom. NOT. Thank goodness. It was the sound of my ringing tone. Stupid tone. It's because of angel that i changed it to this mosquito tune. She said my previous tone was similar to the one "ah peks" use. SO.

Anyway, i jumped out of bed with a spring i'll never have in the early mornings, legs kicking the air with gusto that is so unlike me, and with a raging war cry, proceeded to verbally abuse the poor soul who dared to intrude in my romance with the ikan bilis.

Bless the person who invented the caller ID, cause the moment my blood shot eyes squinted upon the unfamiliar number flashing on my screen, excitement triggered and forced my mind to wake itself.

A POSSIBLE EMPLOYER? AN INTERVIEW? A JOB OPPORTUNITY? AN OFFER PERHAPS?

And for the first time in 19 years of my life, i moved fast. When i say fast, i mean the kung fu style kind of movements which flash by your face in a blur, yeah that kind of fast. I practically blinded myself by pushing the glasses onto my face; I tore out the retainers from my mouth so they wouldn't affect my speech, put on this perverted fake smile on my face....

and said in a sickly sweet voice, "Hellloooo? Yes, speaking, this is Loisa."

Okay well, that's all i wanted to blog about really - the adrenaline rush in the mornings when you're expecting a call any moment. But dang... so early in the MORNING? Does this lady not sleep? Does this mean that i'm expected in the office at 7.50am ~.~ Okay yeah yeah, sometimes work may start at 8am. But GEEZ.

Haha the pay for this one's kinda low, but i'm willing to take it into consideration. Pray and see where God wants to put me. =)

Bad Bad Dog

WHO LET MY DOG OUT?!?!?!

Bad Pebbles, extremely bad Pebbles. She escaped from her bomb shelter. Don't know how she managed to open the play gate thing.

And of course, she started misbehaving myself. She grabbed my dad's handkerchief in her mouth and spit in into the toilet bowl, so now my bowl's clogged up and i'm gonna have to stuff my whole arm in later to try and get the hanky out.

Not to mention the strong winds blowing today. One of my undergarments was blown right off the clothes rack and is now hanging from a tree downstairs in its full glory for the world to see. I have no way of getting it back; it's too high up.

Well, at least no one knows it's mine right? Immediately after typing this, i just realized i announced to everyone its ownership. Ah well.

*Sings*

"It's flying high... in the sky.... Swaying to and fro, in the wind, on a tree."

Yeah okay. Have a great day in church tomorrow everyone!

11th May 2009

ZZZZ applying for jobs are ultra stressful. Every single time i blog about a new phase of my life, it seems to become worse haha. From PSLE, to O'Levels, to every semester in university, and now this job thing. GEEZ.

It's ridiculous! Since i'm so desperate, i'm sending resumes to every thing i see online and in the newspapers. After sending, i'm worrying about the interviews, if i even get one. And after the interview, i'm worrying if i really might get the job. And after i'm offered the job, i'm worrying about whether i really want it, such as the BB post i applied for. Yeah don't ask -_- Then there's the laundry executive too, that was certainly a mistake during the wee hours of the morning while i was mass sending resumes. And finally, there's the writer post i was given, which i realized too late that it's a chinese magazine and well, you can guess why i didn't acccept it. I'll be fired within two days. -_-

Anyway, today was... interesting. Had lunch with mum during lunch break, decided to use the full hour, so we went for a japanese buffet lunch. My mother's day treat haha. Catch is, you gotta eat within 60 minutes.

The entire place felt like Japan itself. The decorations, the atmosphere, the music, and of course the FOOD... *drools* But do you know what localized the entire experience? My fellow singaporeans. The only way you could tell that we were STILL in singapore and did not magically teleport to Japan was the way we were all acting in that restaurant.

This is Loisa's guide to making your money's worth in 60 minutes.

1) To save time, RUN. Run to that sashimi calling out to you, run to catch those tempuras on the shelf, run to cook your teriyaki beef. DO NOT WALK. It takes up an extra 30 seconds that you could have used to stuff another sushi into your mouth.

2) When you've got your food, EAT on the way back. Don't stop to look around. Eat as you walk down the row, and perhaps you might empty your plate in time to grab something else before returning to your table.

3) As you use one hand to fill your cup with hot water, USE THE OTHER HAND to grab your tea bag and stirer. Don't waste time waiting for the water to drip into the cup. Make use of the other free hand to do something else, such as tearing apart the wrapper around your green tea bag.

4) A minute before your time is up, run to the ICE CREAM MACHINE and fill it up. Throw whatever jelly and sago balls and stuff into the cup and grab a stirer. Why? So you can eat it on your way out =D plus they don't provide disposable spoons. And if you've still got the stamina, run to the mochi balls section and see how many you can stuff into your mouth.

5) RUN RUN RUN like your life depends on it to the counter, with the bill in your hand!! There's an extra charge if you exceed 60 minutes.

6) Raise your hands in victory, commending yourself on completing the 60 minutes Japanese Buffet. You've made it! Now slowly eat your ice cream and smile to yourself as you think of how you've outsmarted the person who came up with the evil concept of forcing customers to stuff their faces with food within an hour.

Note: This is just me amusing myself. I am of course being quite sarcastic here so don't actually follow my guide word for word. Don't embarass yourself, the way i did when i ran straight into the glass wall seperating the tables and the food.

5th May 2009

MY BLOG IS DYING. Scrap that. I AM DYING. So many things on my mind and i have no idea which one i should do first. I'm usually pretty good at multi tasking but i don't understand why this time is different. I'm either very distracted and extremely disorganized, or... Okay i don't have any more excuses. Zzzz. Okay.

ANYWAY, to cheer everyone up, or rather to cheer myself up >.< Here's a beautiful car i saw a few weeks back. Alright, a few months back. -_- I've delayed blogging long enough!!



Pretty right? Lamborghini!! I want one. Haha not to drive but just to look at every night before i go to sleep. (-.-)

Okay gotta run! Byeee! =)

Impressive

I received my pay today!

Impressive.

$70,000.

Imagine my joy.

Then i figured i had to be honest, and had to call them about the mistake. ZZZZ from a $70,000 to a $70.

While i was pathetically sniffing into my tissues, half from the sorrow of losing $69,930, half from my cold... i scanned the payment letter.

Again, impressive.

The salutation they gave me was...

"Dear Mr. Koh,"

Nevermind. What blew me away with its awesomeness was the letterhead, which stated...

"Loiarse Koh"

-grandstand applause-

What more can i say?

Impressive.

Okay okay, i shall quit being so grumpy and study. Byee again.

15th April 2009

EXAMS NEXT WEEK! ~.~

And I'm sick. I rebuke this bug that's persecuting all my friends, family and me. It's been circulating all around, so annoying. Was in a comatose state the whole weekend, and half dead during the start of the week. Now I'm finally starting to get down to study. So frustrating. Don't know how.

OKAY byee. Switch off the computer now. See ya. Pray!! =)

30th March 2009

Note: This was done weeks ago. I know i know, I'm sorry. I haven't blogged for really long.

Itch and Twitch

There were two witch sisters in witchy land.
One had an itch, the other had a twitch.
Soon after, the twitchy one started to itch
And the itchy one started to twitch
So it has come to conclusion that they made a switch.
It seems that their itch and twitch
came from your pet lizard named Mitch.
Now Mitch was born with an itch, which led to his twitch
And after petting Mitch,
now all three of them itch and twitch.
At the end of our research,
it was clear that Mitch was not born with his itch and twitch
But actually got it off a bitch in a ditch
named Richie Rich.

21st March 2009

zzzz finally I'm done with the chores at home!!!

Wow hectic semester I'm having. Somehow, i don't quite know why, although i have less subjects, I'm busier than ever. I think it's cause i keh kiang, take on too many things. But zzz... I've gotta try everything i guess. I've been working chapalang jobs, meaning rubbish pay, but it's experience. A bit. I guess. -_-

Anyway, i went for my networking session today. It just made me feel more.. panicky -.- The idea of having to decide on a career soon, the prospects i have, the stuff i have to do and prepare, a bit stressed arh. And suddenly, i fell sick this week! Sucky. Probably why i screwed up my impromptu speech today. Felt so rubbish, but i thank God that i was allowed a second chance. If not arh, i really have no idea what happened. Definitely one of my failures in university -_-

After that, went home, scrubbed the toilets like mad, and rushed over for our career development group dinner. Thinking about our career development camp just made me panic more again. Zzz. I was just thinking, how is it possible that toilet bowls get so dirty even when they're not used? No one uses the bowl in my dog's room (a.k.a my bathroom), but it still seems to be dirty.

Ah yes, the reason why I'm sleeping so late now is that i had to wash dad's clothes in time for his overseas trip. This is ridiculous you know. He just had his operation and he's gonna travel to goodness knows where. And his healing abilities seem to have gone done cause he takes so long to recover. So frustrating. I wonder how people do it, how they multi task, with so many things to think about, to worry about.

I realize that i might be talking nonsense here. A little tired. Going to bed and start studying tomorrow. Need rest before i die flat on the ground. zzz night everyone!

Poem by 3 Poets

Once a fellow met a fellow in a field of beans
Said a fellow to a fellow
If a fellow asks a fellow
Can a fellow tell a fellow
If I can have some yellow jell-o
But the fellow said no,
I’m too mellow...
So no jell-o.
But hello,
Said the fellow!!!

Okay. Upset. Nevermind I'll get over it in a few minutes. Just needed to type something that has nothing to do with school work.

Okay typed and done. Happy.

22 February 2009

Wah cannot tahan cannot tahan BUAY TAHAN!!

I'm supposed to be studying for my exams right now, but i had to take a break to ROAR out loud here.

Insult INSULT! -.-

Someone said this to me...

"serious or not ? you struck me as the emotional type that require some one to be with you / hold your hands kinda thing"

Wah biscuit crumbs basically flew out of my mouth man! Fortunately my dog wasn't near by or.. CHAOS!

Anyway, this got me thinking to something i said to Jane a while back. That hey, isn't it contradicting if some girls want to be feminists, well not entirely. As in they want to be on equal terms as males, and they want their opinions heard, they want to be respected etc. And that anything males can do, they can do too. YET, they want their boyfriends to be gentlemen and treat them like fragile ladies. Okay not fragile, but do things like, pull out their chairs, help them carry bags, open doors, catch insects around the house and all these.

Doesn't make sense eh? Ladies want to be independent, but they want their men to treat them with care as well.

And now I've decided what's wrong. Females want to be respected for their BRAINS. And their personalities. That they have a mind of their own. They have feelings. They have opinions and thoughts. They have ideas. They have creativity. BUT that doesn't mean they're all brave and macho like males. They just want men to love them a little more, and reassure them as well too. Er right?

Okay anyway. That's not the point. The point is...

I DO NOT NEED A BOYFRIEND TO HOLD MY HAND THANK YOU.

Yes, i am emotional. In the sense that i feel. A lot. People cry, i cry. People angry, i feel sad. People happy, i start smiling like an idiot cause it just feels so nice to smile with people. Sometimes i get panicky, and overwhelmed, and i go cranky, but i solve my own problems, in my OWN way.

i do NOT, and most certainly do NOT, need people to help me solve my problems. Advice will be nice, a friend who listens is definitely appreciated, but i am not a child. I have a BRAIN. a WORKING one. thank you very much.

This has effectively put me off boyfriends entirely. Anyway, i think friends will be there for life, more than boyfriends. Boyfriends make you happy, but boy in hell do they make you cry too. And they leave you when they don't want you anymore. And you not only lose a boyfriend, you lose a friend. Unless you stay friends, but usually no, right? Anyway, the point is, too much complications.

God will find me a man someday, who loves me for me. I hate it when people leave in my life, but not because i NEED them. (glares at a certain someone) It's just sad to lose a friend. Right? I mean don't you think it's horrible that someone walks our of your life and you're never able to call them up and say "hey.. wanna go drink teh at yakun kaya toast?" or something...

Okay. Nevermind. My friends will get the point I'm trying to make. If you're not my friend, you'll probably go huh, but that's alright. =) I still love you anyway cause God put you in my life for some reason.

Hey does anyone feel like eating frosted cornflakes with milk? Suddenly my mouth needs a taste of that -.- okay see ya!

Conquered GROW!!

BUAHAHAHA okay i've finally conquered this game!! =D

SEE SEE SEE! Haha



My personality is such that if i cannot complete anything, i will be superbly annoyed and "die die must finish somehow someway". So i've done it YAY! It was an ultra irritating game though. Here's the link if you want to lose some sleep...

Okay byee! Gotta go back to studying and will stare at that stupid dolphin picture later! I WILL see a couple. I MUST see a couple. x_x

A Couple, or 9 Dolphins?

Sigh... June showed me and Fiona this picture today. Apparently, adults can see the couple, while children can only see 9 dolphins because they have not been exposed to images of the human body yet.

June could see both, Fi only the couple (i wonder why...), and after 4 over hours now, i can only see 9 dolphins. Even after enlarging the picture. You know what's the most horrible part of it all? I can see one hippo at the bottom, and two giraffes at the side. This calls for a change of glasses and contacts, since i used BOTH to analyze the picture!

Try it!



P.S. Does anyone see 10 dolphins instead? The last one's kinda of an incomplete dolphin, but there's the tail end of the half body... SO technically it's 10 dolphins right? haha okay okay. I won't bother looking already.

BABY!!

At last, at LONG last, here are the pictures of the love of my life...







Isn't he just an absolute darling?

30th January 2009

AHHHH such a sad day =(

I've been on a movie marathon today. Okay it isn't much of a marathon since it's only 2 movies, but it's bad enough, since the plots are so rubbishy. Rubbishy to me means sad endings and plots. My heart cannot take it arh...

Anyway, just to let you know, the first movie was "The Mist". Initially, i was watching it cause my cousin lent my dad the dvd, but the quality was RUBBISH, utter rubbish, so mum and i couldn't take it and we went to borrow the REAL dvd.

Second movie we watched was "The Year of the Dog". SO SAD. In the first few minutes, a superbly adorable beagle died already, and i just zzz... sian liao. Throughout the movie, there were sad bits all over.

I will not tell you anymore haha. But if you are an emotional person, DO NOT watch these movies. Or you'll cry. I did. Sad Sad.

Next movie i REALLY want to watch is "Escape to Alcatraz". Does anyone wanna watch that too?

Daniel Daniel Daniel

ahh i've finally completed the book of Daniel! haha paranoid. I had a nightmare last night that shannon asked claudia and me to conduct bible study on the whole book. Woke up panicking and cross eyed. haha.

OKay i'm gonna go back to my school assignments. Sigh... here i am spending chinese year typing up reflection papers zzz

January 22 2009

Wow chinese new year is coming already!!

Anyway, i was superbly happy cause i thought i'd be able to blog something to make everyone jealous.

Krystel says (8:56 PM):
krystel loves loisa!

See? Krys loves me!

But at the very next second, she typed...

Krystel says (8:56 PM):
but she loves cherie a bit more
Krystel says (8:56 PM):
haahah

So well... zzzz. Perhaps if Cherie reads this post, she'll feel very happy! hahaha I'll make cherie's day!

18th January 2009

Right.. so well... haha a little lazy to blog. Life is as per usual.. School's started, and the moment i received my course syllabus, i began to feel a wee bit stressed. Why? Cause quizzes have started already -_-

Like, what happened man? If anyone asks me what modules i am taking right now, i can only tell them the subject name and will be unable to elaborate further. Zzzz

Anyway, i'm thankful for how God has blessed me so far, and i know this year He's gonna do the same again! Feel the love people =)

ps: all the UB people are back! *jump jump*

pps: learnt some SUPERBLY interesting news last night! ah well. i... am at a loss of what to type. Nevermind. I'll get over it. I can't decide if it'd have been better for me to learn about it now, or earlier on. Surprising that my friends didn't tell me, but it's alright. In the meantime, i'll feel the love from angel, amelia and jane!

Eileen makes the most sense at the moment.

Things that initially felt good drastically fall apart, so that better things can dramatically come together and form a beautiful thing!

Haha just wanted to end off the post with a very intellectual statement. Sorry it doesn't make much sense since you probably won't know the full story. Doesn't matter yea? I'll forget all about it in a few days too! Okay maybe months. Or years. -bish- Okay la i'm exaggerating. Shouldn't kill my heart over it. From this second on, i will forget what this post means and go back to studying so i can get that damm honors which is so difficult to attain. *mutters to oneself*

ppps: never bother trying to have dinner at taka when it's really crowded. -_- pathetic group of people eating at one tiny bench. It was a laugh though! =)
