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.

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! =)
