2nd March 2007
MGQ wasn't so bad... I was nervous, but in the end, i had 14/15, so well... nevermind. This is better anyway, cuase it shows there's room for improvement. How much cna you improve upon if you get 15, right? haha
Anyway, MGQ 201 is an online course, an E Learning course, so the exam was done in a computer lab. It was crazy, and all of us were diaoing the course in general. OUr lecturer himself was late, so instead of starting at 3.30pm, we started at almost 4 o clock. Well after our lectuere, or rather helper came in (our REAL lecturer is stationed in New York you see), we had problems getting into the school's website and then clicking on our test, because...
the test wasn't there. -.-
And after solving that problem, (the date for the test to be available on the website was wrong you see), we had to get the password to log into the test so it will be SHOWN.
Aiyoooo... and you know what? We were asked if we wanted to postpone the test on FRIDAY! After studying so hard for it, NO WAY were we going to change anything! So, FINALLY we could do the test. MY GOODNESS....
Ah yes, for the MATH exam. faint faint flip flip *SCREAMS* There were TWO word problems. Loisa is dead-ed. It's around 30 marks gone. So i can get 70/100 and below. Scary eh? All the differntiation, implicit differentiation, marginal analysis, approximation...
blur blur doubly blur
lost lost triplely lost
Yep. That's it. End of exam mania for this week. Exams start again next week! And the next. Wish me luck! No, there is no such thing as luck. PRAY FOR ME! =)

28th Februrary 2007
Anyway, today in school was another rubbish day. THE MATH EXAM. I was panicking, i don't know why, but it seems i had good reason to panic. I lost around what, 30 marks? WORD PROBLEMS... I was never good at word problems... Sigh...
Anyway, the night before, i actually left math alone adn studied like mad for our COM 217 test. And guess what?! The teacher postponed the rest!!! I WASTED ALL MY TIME STUDYING THAT WHEN I COULD HAVE STUDIED MATH! grrrrr oh well. Sigh...
And to prove how bad our state of minds were....
(Lunch time, in the CAFETERIA, no longer called canteen)
Loisa: Auntie! 我要 lor mai kai!
Auntie: 吃还是包?
Loisa: 我不要包! 我要 lor mai kai!!
Auntie: ???
Cherie: Hey guys, have any idea if sms is stored in sim cards?
Eileen: Yeah, but I think it's only for the first few.
Jocelyn: Yeah, it only saves some.
Loisa: Yah! The S.I.M. card can only save sms.
All: Huh? Why you pronounce as S.I.M.?
Jocelyn: So you tell people you study in sim?
-Everyone cracked up-
Loisa: Isn't sim card spelt as S.I.M?! -fumes-
(Eileen, P1) Quoted MLA format
Doubly sigh... Ah well, laughter is joy i guess...
My giant pimple is going down! like FINALLY. Everyone keeps commenting on it. There's a nice round black dot on my forehead too, where i knocked myself on the cupboard while waking up. I'm a klutz.
We all need sleep!
yes, that means you too, Eileen, Cherie and Jonathan, who are awake at this tiem of the morning too!!
1st March 2007
But actually, it isn't a very happy 1st or march. In fact, it could be a horrible first of march. A terrible first of march. An excruciating first of march. A TIRING first of march.
Get the picture?
Wednesday nights and thursday mornings are always a horror, as quoted from eileen. Thursdays are the days when we have a COM 225 Test, and a history paper to hand in. So.. guess what we're doing every wednesday 10pm - thursday 4/5am? Yep, slaving away... Half dead... Yeah so well
Thanks to Kai and Kenneth for helping us out with UGC! I think, no i KNOW i must have been quite grumpy and a little rude, so i'm sorry. I truly am, and i'm also grateful for your help, from the bottom of my heart, so don't ever think i don't appreciate your help okay?
Hmmm i must have caught the grouchy bug... Sigh, now i know what jia zhen was feeling. Oh well, now that the bug has left me, let's hope no one ever catches it again. It's one NASTY bug.
It's 4.30am in the morning, a thursday, it's clousy outside, temperature..... haha weather forecast from loisa...
Anyway yeah, i still can't sleep, cause i have to study for my communications test plus my statistics EXAM. None of which i've started on yet so hallejuah. Taking a break now...
Okay to make myself feel better, i've done 6 pages of communicaitons already, and i've studied A BIT on stats. A BIT yeah?
Right good morning people! =)
love, loisa

Visitation
This was one interesting day. Funny how i always dread visitations but i end up enjoying myself quite a bit! Well today it was the meeting of the cousins. Not mine, but my mum's! Her cousins decided to meet up together and well, catch up! So i went along... haha OOPS i admit, half of the ang paos and also to see how my second cousins look like! The children of my mum's cousins that is... And... mmm interesting. VERY interesting. I WAS THE OLDEST KID THERE! -faint- For how many thousand of years i was the baby of the family (my mum's sisters: my direct cousins) and now...??? I'm the OLDEST?! Shucks... I'm OLD OLD OLD! So well anyway, all the family history came out during this tea reunion thing. GUESS WHAT? I might as well not learn chinese already. I can just give up my chinese heritage and take on the indonesian heritage. It's not even malay, it's INDONESIAN, like TRADITIONAL INDONESIAN! My loisa cna turn into a...a... what's an indonesian name for loisa? Anyway, my relatives came from Madan and some funny village. arrange marriages between the Indonesians and Chinese and... whatever else. Ask me for the long version of teh story. Right now i'm too scatter-brained to talk properly.
ps: My china relatives, as in the tiny bit that came form china (thank goodness i'm not prue indonesian or my head will swirl; i'm not syaing it's a bad thign though), they speak DIALECTS. NOT CHINESE, so people, now you understand why my chinese is........................................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
20th February 2007
Whew TODAY... my apprehension was even stronger then yesterday's. I guess cause my family is the only one with ONE KID (poor me) and all the other families have two three FOUR children! *screams* Okay today was the church reunion, my old old like REALLY old church. Jonathan's church too! But ah well, he wasn't there cause he's WAY too old haha. His generation different from my generation, and different cell group last time too, SO i went there... ALONE. The moment i stepped into the host's house, i went like
"SHOOT! God help me, i'm scared. Who the heck are these people?" Okay, a bit of boasting here... hahaha, i'm usually the one who knows everyone -.- Probably because i was one sociable kid when i was young (Hey i used to kiss everyone in sight, boy girl, young, old, as long as they were human... *kiss*) And then all of a sudden, i just did not recognise everyone!! WHY?!?!?!
Panic attack
So i resorted to self misery. -.- Greeted everyone in sight "Happy New Year" and then went off to get food, proceeding to sit at the table and mutter to myself how single kids shouldn't go to parties... and then.....
*DING*
My knight in shining armour came. -.- Haha nah... They're the erm.. something family. Can't remember surname. Whatever it is, Esmond and the little one, Priscilla (whom i absolutely adore) came! Ahhh! Thank goodness they came. Then again, Esmond told me "Everyone looks foreign here" haha so... i'm not the only lost soul.
*DING*
Two princesses came, Stephanie and Jessica! I waved to them as if there was suddenly a spring in my arm and, and asked them to join me. HALLEJUAH! FRIENDS! So we all settled down to talk. Michelle and lynette chatted with us a little... yep... COOL! =)
Managed to catch up with some real old childhood friends... Haha exhcanged some horror stories of school life and childhood memories... Ahhh bliss. I love them! Had a great timr in a way actually haha. We even watched spongebob squarepants movie (don't ask why) and SANG to the theme song. -.-
When we all parted, it just made me realise how lonely it is something without a peer to talk to, or a younger/older sibling to repond back to you in ENGLISH instead of barking...
Yeah, so was quite lonely all the way back home, and now relating the day's events... and playing with my dog again... hmm NOT SO LONELY ANYMORE! Haha
HOORAY FOR PEBBLES!
ps: MUST get photos from michelle!!

Jane's car
Interesting... haha valentines day! There was a little sweet bottle of glitter from stephanie, LARGE sweets from jia zhen, mouth-watering cookies from eileen (CHOCOLATE CHIPS!!), nice nice yum yum cupcake form jane...
AND... talking about JANE... SHE CAN DRIVE!!
15th February 2007
WE WENT FOR A SPIN IN JANE'S CAR! She DROVE. Like SROVE THE CAR! Okay i'm always very fascinated when people i know drive... and i SIT WHILE THEY DRIVE. It's so cool! hahaha She gave jia zhen and me a ride home! Thank you soooo much! It was raining too, so we were even more largi grateful. My eyes were so big when i got in. Haha jia zhen felt the same! The minute i stepped in, i was fumbling around on the seat, trying to take in everything...
First, the floor, ahh, looked so nice... then the seat... felt so nice... then the window (i plastered my face onto it), smelled so nice, and on to the front of the car -- i sat at the back you see.
WOW the gears... it was half auto, half manual. Then jane's hands on the sterring wheel, okay i'm not focussing on her hands, mroe like... AI YAR she's driving lar, that's the whole point. It was just TOO COOL ALREADY!
-faints-
Right, enough of the drama mama me.
Basically, we had fun for that 10 minutes in her car! THANK YOU! =)

SO let's see, quite a few people are uhh SOT eh? including.. Selim the SOT! Guess he was a drunkard. I can't say anymore, or it'll really make some peopl sad. But to think we've been using the word sot so often, well it's funny.
Ah nvm inside joke. A bit hard to explain..

like WOOHOO
OLE OLE OLE OLE... OLE... OLE...
*whistles like a maniac*
haha so guess what? i've won myself 10 bucks, and 5 Macdonald's meals! but i gave the Macs meals back cuase i betted with a 7 year old kid, so umm, feel a little guilty. HELLO i do have a conscience OKAY...
but i'm SO holding on to the 10 bucks. Then again, i'm a pretty nice person, so i'm using that 10 dollars to treat BOTH me and the ahem LOSER to a meal. How's that? SIgh, what a waste of good money, but at least it isn't such a loss for the poor guy right? =)
okay don't rub it in. i'm stupid. no i'm nice...
nice...
Good night!! 3 cheers for the lions!
BTW, I LOVE LIONEL LEWIS! =) He's the best, and to me, he's the most valuable player, cause he saved many many many goals. The Thais were just attacking and attacking... Poor Mr. Lionel Lewis. But well okay Khairul Amri's stunning goal 9 minutes from the game DID help Singapore to a 1-1 draw with Thailand, so... alright, i'll give the guy some credit.
Lionel Lewis and Khairul Amri are my heroes =)
you know, it reminds me of the time we GB girls (teenagers) played football against the thais, at an orphanage there. The children were aged erm 4 or 5 onwards, with the oldest at 16. For the Singapore team, the oldest was our officer, definitely above 25, so... guess who won the friendly match? The kids... -.- For full details, read the long long long long ago post on our Thailand mission trip, in 2005, 1st - 13th December. Haha happy scrolling!

Gah....
She has totally no interpersonal communication skills. Her dyadic conversations are going to fail. She's obviously in a co-culture of her own, and probably her own out-group too.
SEE?! this is what happens when an angry loisa starts ranting in the wee hours of the morning. She starts communicating to herself. She starts sprouting out stuff about organizational communications and interpersonal communications as if they are bean sprouts. Cabbage. Samuel's wig. Hair. Flicking everywhere. Herbal essence.
Whoever understands this post is a genius.
Sniff =(

The Six Cousins
Sunday, January 07, 2007
5th January 2007
A day when most of us are free....
Well i had piano lesson in the morning as usual... it was usual... usally boring... but it was alright. Why? Cause it's the school holidays and i managed to practice more than i usually do! =) Hooray for me! -.- haha
In the afternoon, jiazhen, eileen, jocelyn, stephanie and i met up for badminton, in yio chu kang. Don't ask. Okay, now i am CONVINCED that i am truly out of shape. Like abosultely, totally, disgustingly, grossly out of shape. In the sense that, by serving twice and hitting back less than 10 times, my legs were wobbling, i had a stitch, and i was practically gasping for air, to the extent that if i jumped one more time, i would probably have a heart attack right there in the court. So i'm exaggerating, but really, it was TIRING. The consequences of not having PE in school, and the luxury of taking lifts all the time and not bothering about the stairs even though it's a one level difference (SIM). Sigh... alright alright! I'm going swimming and walking! (This i did today, 7th january, but that will be another post, or maybe i just won't embarrass myself further). Jia zhen was super cool though, she was THE ROCK. Haha nah, as in she was the most energetic one amongst all of us. Right, enough about emphasising how weight-ful i am.
On to the highlight of today. The dinner plus movie with THE COUSINS.
Three of my cousins came back from Australia! So the six of us girls decided to go out for dinner together. Actually, the five of them decided, but nicky invited me, which felt kinda funny, but nice. Haha. the 5 of them are usually the closest you see, i'm the baby of the cousins, and i guss in their eyes, i'll always be that. The baby, literally. I was debating whether to go or not, cause i would no doubt feel awkward, cause they're so much older and i wouldn't know what to say to them. But i wanted to too, cause hey, they invited me, if i turn them down, isn't that kinda unfriendly, and it's just encouraging all of us to distance ourselves a bit? And we ARE cousins after all, yeah? So... i went. And i have absolutely no regrets.
Everyone were great! Ning's boyfriend came along too! We were supposed to have dinner at Crystal Jades, but we ended up eating at some Japanese restaurant, beside the Crystal Jades at Shaw, Lido, in Orchard. It was good, but we ate til we were stuffed! I had trouble breathing. I always seem to have trouble breating these days, as long as i'm wearing pants. Okay, point taken. I gotta lose something, and soon. -.- Anyway, we took a few pictures and headed off to cineleisure to watch... Night At The Museum, as Lido was not showing that show.
AHHH the next show would be at 11.45PM and anyway, only Geogette and i wanted to catch that, so the rest went home. Oh wait, i forgot about the arcade part. It was cool! =) We played this zombie game whereby we were supposed to shoot at duh, all zombies except civilians. Haha there were lots of commentries, screaming, and bad shot all around. Right, bad shots came from me. I couldn't even reload. Fine. No matter.
So, geogie and i watched that show, and hahahahaha it was hilarious! Shall not eleborate. You go watch it yourself. You'll love it, i promise. =) By the time the show ended, it was 1.45am? I was so dozing off on my feet. Mum had to pick me up of course, since there is not public transport at that obscene time, and geogie took a cab home.
Well that's about it, i have to restart the computer in order for the Antivirus thing to work, so.. i'll post the two pictures of us cousins at a later date yeah? =) Good night people!!
7th January 2007
I'm either going to cry a tsunami, or explode into a hundred thousand pieces of red hot chilli padi anger or whatever. My thoughts are very incoherent now. I'm just fed up, fed up with my dad, although i know i'm supposed to be forgiving and calm and blah blah blah...
My computer has been giving me like loads of problems so daddy has been reformatting then again, and again, AND AGAIN. When he reformatted it two days ago, he saved all our old files somewhere so they will not be lost. But during the two days, from the last reformatting and today, i uploaded more pictures of pebbles, my cousins, the family... into the computer. PLUS, i redid my VERY nice timetable into an easier version to read and uderstand. VERY NICE one, with colours, and whatnots. And what did my nice daddy do? He was lazy to resave the files again, so he just reformatted the computer AGAIN this morning, believing that he would put in all our OLD documents back into the computer ANOTHER DAY.
To sum up, the OLD documents are NOT in the computer yet, and all my pictures plus the nice timetable done by yours truly (which took VERY long mind you), are GONE. LOST. DECEASED. NEVER TO BE FOUND, or RETURNED. EVER AGAIN.
WAILSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
okay okay breathe..... NVM. As all these precious things have been lost, AT LEAST allow me to whine A LITTLE to my mum right? I mean, my mum and dad are all i've got. Who else can i expect to get a little sympathy from? The PLANTS?! my dog is sleeping by the way... So my mum, being the protective her, had to help me a little, and of course, rub it in, into my dad. Meaning, wake him up from his slumber, and reprimand him, A LITTLE, about not saving up my stuff.
THEN
Dad gets all grouchy and unreasonable and stomps into the computer room, where i'm sulking on my own and meditating. ON MY OWN, i repeat. Not bothering everyone else. You know me, i'll get over it sooner or later, but just let me mumble to MYSELF for 10 minutes!!! So anyway, i'm downloading stuff for the family. FOR THE FAMILY. Neccessary stuff, such as the Norton antivirus, firewall, MSN for my mum, MP3 stuff for my dad... Do you see me downloading any of MY stuff? Stuff that are meaningless to my loving family such as itunes and whatever else? i Can't think of any now, but come on, you think i'm not sleepy arh. AND i'm hungry too. My dad stomps in, and starts giving attitude. -.- Like yelling, and scolding me and telling me to get out of the seat since he's going to transfer all the folders into the computer and yada yada...
I'm so mad, and he starts giving all this nonsense. you know what? He has never said sorry in his entire life. He's never sorry. If he is, he never SAYS it. Instead, he'll try to make it up by doing things, which are REALLY not appreciated, which in fact, makes life more difficult for everyone else. Of course, he'lll actually know that if he knows us. Okay, end of blog.
This post sounds very... not nice, yeah?
Since i'm done ranting, i guess i'll be... normal again.
Will type something nice in the next post, since i can't do anything (no files in the computer) and i have to wait for the nortan antivirus to complete it's downloading.
Yay, my cousin sent me a few pictures of us! Buty she doesn't have all, so some are still lost. Well, positive thinking is that not ALL are lost yeah? =) Sigh...

oookay it's cold today. Like really REALLY cold, like feezing your butt off kind of cold. Even the toilet's seat cold... BRRRRR and don't ask why i'm awake at 8.45 am. Sigh...
Anyway, was checking my emails and i clicked on something, it's a video from youtube. I was more interested in the dog that first appeared, more than anything else, but hmm.. the song's pretty good too! haha and i recognise it! Jia zhen sent me the song was... hmm.. beaty kind of song... haha
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5BGq8gh8ZM&mode=related&search=
So... Maneater by Nelly Furtado everyone!. Enjoy.. the dog... =) Can't believe she went dancing with all those strangers and left her poor dog alone... goodness...

And of course you know the careless me, i obviously dropped my watch and off i went. Sigh... Brooding about it now; therefore, i had better go start on my UGC essays. Gotta do somethign to drown myself in my sorrow... -.-

Trek Part 4
So we reached our camp base, and the guys set about gathering firewood, for nothing, cause in the end they didn't use it. -.- They were very drama though. They actually pulled down this trunk/HUGE branch thing, like tarzans... And after they managed to get it down, they basically stared at each other, wondering how they were going to chop it up. -.- Sigh... the girls gave up staring at their bewilderment and headed for the river thing, our bathing area. Wait, let me rephrase that. We were off to bathe IN THE RIVER! Haha how cool is that? Sorry, no photographs on this, it's umm PRIVATE. Nah, though the guys and girls bathed together, we took NO clothes off OKAY? No cloth or whatsoever. Nada. We umm took quite a while to bathe haha. Initially we were a wee self conscious. It was so cold! A few seniors very kindly splashed water on us, and i nearly died there. I felt like "rose" in titanic who was freezing to death in the cold winds and waters. Anyway, we waded in, SLOWLY, opened our shampoo bottles, SLOWLY, poured out the soap, SLOWLY, and EVER SO SLOWLY washed our hair. And then an amazing thing happened. Jia zhen who was beside me, suddenly floated up, with her legs in the air, and sank back down into the water. WHOA. MAGIC! Haha, and on the other side, krystel and stephanie were washing each other's hair. COOL, a salon! Behind me, Eileen was trying very carefully to balance on a rock and wash herself without getting her hair wet. Okay so FINALLY we were done. We probably took 2 hours? Haha Longest bath i've ever had in my entire life!
Upon reaching our tentage area, our group members were hilarious! One commented that we drowned in the river, haha since we took so long. Hahaha. Dinner time it was however, so we had to assist in cooking! Unfortunately, the people there were so efficient, they had already started, and there didn't seem to be anything we could do. We were free... again. So we sat down, and LOOKED.
Ahhh we're cooking! =) That bright orange thing is uhh me. haha Wore orange as i was afraid i would get lost haha, so orange is well, see-able. hahaha
The fella looking into the camera is Caleb! Haha Jia Zhen thought he was a girl. We were looking through the names of those in our group, and i insisted "Caleb" is a boy... hahaAhh something for krystel and me to do! PASTA! We took the mess tins and started cooking pasta. Obviously, we weren't very good at it, so haha, it was one unhealthy meal. We added too much milk, too much butter, too much of everything except the pasta, which was limited. -.- Yeah yeah, keep those comments to yourself. BUT, they still tasted real good =) Usually, unhealthy stuff taste good hahaha. There wasn't anything else to do other than the pasta, so jia zhen felt relaly bored and stoned. Poor girl, but it's alright, we all enjoyed eahc other's company. The two itnernational guys behind us (vietnamese and mongolian) were largi best. One was SLEEPING, and the other uhh, hmmm... Haha but when we were done cooking, we passed around spoonfuls of food feeding each other. Rex's a pretty darn good cook! Lucky us. There was mee sua, curry chicken and potatos, fish, egg, luncheon meet, and of course AHEM pasta!
Halfway through our meal... ... ... AIYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SCORPION LURKING IN THE GRASS!!!
Ahhh our saviours. Someone put it away in a box. =)I think they wanted to cook the scorpion and eat it or something, but ummm...
Oh yeah! And then sigh, we had to pee. Haha this was so funny! There was nowhere to pee! So jean, krystel, jia zhen adn i had to run to sme ulu place with bushes, and...
"one, two THREE! SQUAT AND PEE! QUICK QUICK!!"
Yep, that's what we did, we stood in a row, and peed for all our worth, and ran back to camp, half embarrassded but half proud that we did it. We were real jungle women! Now all we needed were leopard skin bras and bottoms. -.-
That was the reason why we held our shit the entire trip! Haha, we so did not want to dig a hole in the ground, shit, and then cover it back up! Though of course, it would have been good fertiliser for the soil... haha
Ahhh here comes the fun part of the night. We didn't want to sleep jsut yet, although it would have been a wise thing, since we hardly slept the night before, and we were going to have to set off at 6 plus the next morning for Bukit Paranoma. So we all gathered in the girls tent, for a reason. A 6 man tent filled with 10 people? Haha WHY? Let me tell you why. (jia zhen, laugh now) The girls were afraid of these humongous flying ants, plus baby ones, that were attracted to our torch lights! Thus, they all went screaming into the tent. I wasn't scared, but i was grossed out. Imagine them crawlign all voer me, *shivers* But i wasn't hysterical. With everyone screaming and yelling though, i started to panic a little. -.- Haha jz too! Initially she was calm, then she began to get clumsy like me! Haha i tried picking up the ants with tissue paper, but the more the girls squeaked, the mroe i dropped the ants. In the end, i think my tissue paper picking amounted to nothing. Sigh...
Well the whole thing was very dramatised lar. It was kinda like a comedy actually, cause the guys were relaly sweet. Imagine...
5 beautiful princessess are terrified of the dangerous man eating dragons. 5 knights in shining armour rode on their horses, took out their swords and slayed the scary dragons. All stayed in a palace and lived happily ever after...
But in reality, it were 5 girls screaming in a tent, afraid of flying ants. 5 boys in slippers and short, ran to our tents, and plucked/shoot/snapped these ferocious insects away with tissue papers, torchlights and tees. Everyone went into one tent, and played UNO plus heart attack plus bluff. Hahahaa cute eh?
Uno was... boring after a while. Haha It was such a long game and no one was winning! It was very obvious who was losing though, and that was Sebastian haha, cause he kept drawing, and drawing, and drawing....... 4, 8, 12......
Heart attack... Hmmm.. It was alright, but we couldn't ;play it forever, and it was hard for 20 hands to pile up in the center. haha
I think everyone had the msot fun during the game of "Bluff". It was nuts! We constantly guessed the wrong people, and had to take the whole pile. Jean was cute. In all the games, she was honest, and the ONE TIME she bluffed, she was caught. Haha. Guess who lost in the end? Yours truly. The last 3 losers had to do a forfeit, truth and dare. We were William, Krystel and me. WHO on earth would chose the dare right? So we chose truth. Our questions were basically the same.
"Which person of the opposite gender, in ODAC, do you admire the most?"
William never did answer, but oh well. Krystel chose Eileen's partner on the trek, and i wanted to too, but she was faster. Why? Cause he's a sweet guy! When eileen's track shoes died on her, he actually lent her his sandals and walked barefoot all the way back! Poor guy. Haha, but nvm. I had another one in mind. And that was, Jia zhen's partner, our hero! I mentioned he helped us carry our bag right, so that was one point. The other was that he seemed to take an initiative in doing stuff. He was the first one to get the firewood (albeit of no neccessity), and he was always the one sweeping away branches during our lorry ride.
Ahh so taht was about it. After the game, we went to watch fireflies. So pretty! =) But we didn't take pictures. Too busy trying to find our way in the dark. It was pitch black out there okay. Goodness! After taht we went to bed! Will tell you mroe about bedroom activities in part 5! Haha

8th November 2006
Anyway, wow angel replied to my posts! Thank you. I do want to support you, but i don't know how to. I'm sorry for that, but never forget that you ARE part of my life, and you've left a mark in my heart okay?
Anyway, i think i shall stop all this blogging thing and go do my computer assignments. Hurry hurry!
Tuesday, November 07, 2006
7th November 2006
Anyway, this will be one short entry. Busy. Too many assignments to hand up. Exams coming. Tests. GRAAAAHHHHH
Something's funny with angel. I'm not sure if i should put it up here, cause usually i don't like putting things up on the blog, things that i might not want the world to know. But i think it's okay, right? And i can't seem to find the right time to talk to angel without interruptions so i just hope she reads this and not get mad at me. I haven't had the time nor energy to analyze the situation properly anyway, so i might be wrong. My point is, i'm feeling real guilty cause i haven't been there for angel. I'm not finding any excuses, i'm just saying time is not on our hands and i hope she understands. I think she's mad at me too, but i am at a loss. I don't know how to help her, and i can't sit down properly to think cause... everything's just too rush. I think probably my priorities have changed too, perhaps? Studies is at the top right now, and i'm just too kan chiong. Maybe it isn't as hard work as i think it is, maybe i'm just stressing myself up, but i really do find it stressful. Nothing i can't handle, but it does take up energy and brain power. AND TIME. Shoot time. It passes by way too fast.
Back to the point. Am i being paranoid, or thinking too much? Cause i sometimes think angel's smile is fake or something. Like, she's putting on a mask, and i don't know if it's an attempt to make me feel less guilty, or she wants me to guess what's up. I'm sorry angel, but it's messing with my head. I can't seem to guess very well anymore. Maybe it's ebcause i cna't see your expression, or hear your voice, so the esp thing isn't quite right. I don't know lar, but i do hope we wouldn't be mad at each other or drift like SUPER far apart, cause no matter what, it's a friendship i treaure.
Shawn smsed me but i don't quite want to disturb him. Don't know lar. Kinda tired right now. Sleepy.
So now i've said my part. I'm off! Back to studying something or toher. so many thigns to do, not quite sure where to start. And something's wrong with my dumb browser.
Maybe i need to eat more ice cream. hmmm

Trek part 3
We waded in a river to cross over to the other bank. For the other girls, the height of the wtaer was probably slightly below the waist. For me, it was either the chest, or in certain parts, the shoulders. Blah. I was soaking wet. Oh well
Everyone was assigned a partner to help then up the trek, and i... had no partner. -.- NVM i am superwoman, with muscles! So we climbed up slopes, walked on river beds, slipped on stones, climbed over tree trunks, slided on rocks with algae...swung from tree to tree... OKAY i was kidding with the last one, but there really was a part when we had to use a nylon rope to sort of abseil down this tiny cliff thing.
Yep, can you imagine us trekking through this kind of......One of the girls in front of me, an ODAC girl, saw a leech on her leg and started screaming, then she fell. I panicked and knew i was supposed to tlak to her to calm her down or something, but i didn't know what to say to her! Argh, anyway, after that incident, i decided to continuously walk without stopping. Die die i wanted to keep on the move, cause i figured out that if i do that, leeches would not have the chance to jump on me!
Incident of the day: Jia zhen had THREE leeches on the same spot, and another one somewhere else! WOW! POWER WOMEN! Such a drama queen haha. I think they truied to burn the leeches off her or something, but in the process, she was burned a little, by the lighter. Poor girl. At least the burnt mark is no longer there... =)
Eileen and Jia Zhen trekking...
Eileen and Jia Zhen yet again... Haha they look like shephered with those sticks. Useful stuff though.. Helped us along. It was like a third leg.
FINALLY we saw the waterfall. If i had the energy i could have jumped for joy, but my heart was jumping anyway. THEN WHAT?! That wasn't the end! Yes, we SAW th waterfall, but we didn't REACH it. GOODNESS i could have fainted right there... I was just looking up, up and up... wondering how on earth we were going to climb the boulders to reach the base of the waterfall sigh... For one moment there i thought we were climbing to the TOP of the waterfall but... nope. Whew! Anyway, sigh, boulders boulders boulders. Climb Climb Climb... I really felt like a spider. I was on all fours trying to find my footing, AND bearing, cause i was starting to get confused. My biggest fear was that one of the boulders would come loose and fall down on all of us. Thank you Lord for keeping me alive!
So well, Krystel, Stephanie and i were the first ones up there, so we decided to wait for Eileen and Jia Zhen.
We're in that tiny corner on the far left...
In the mean time, we waded into the waterfalls. Halfway though, uhh i fell, and dragged everyone down with me, so we were all shivering and cold. Sebastian, one of the guys in my gorup, then cajoled us to go all the way in, since we were already wet. So we did, and spashed around wondering where eileen and jz were.
YAY finally we saw them, posing... -.- haha
Eileen didn't want to go in, but jia zhen did! I swam back to the "shore" to "collect" her and at the same time grab a water bottle for Jean, one of my group leaders.
Jia Zhen - QUITE dry, before she went into the water
Somehow, jz and i spashed our way back to the girls, and within 5 minutes of jz's arrival, the girld wanted to swim back! Haha jia zhen was like "But i jsut got here!!" Therefore, we stayed a little while more. That was when we took pictures UNDER THE WATERFALL ITSELF! Cool eh? Too abd we haven't got those pictures yet. Sigh, must find the guy who used his waterproof camera lar...
Here are a few waterfall scenery pictures... ... ... Really pretty =)
The Waterfall in its entirety... i think
The bottom of the waterfall...
After out swim - Jia Zhen and me
After our swim - the wet me and the dry eileen
Right it was time to get back to "shore". Steph and i followed louis while the rest swam back. Louis led us through some sort of funny path, and steph and i were lik -.- "??? What kind of way is this? Haha" As can be seen from this picture, i FELL -.-
By then, all of us were shivering lar. It was freezing cold! Gahhhh.... Time to go back! Sigh, going back down, back to our tents was one tough trek. To me, it was harder than going up. This time, i really needed a partner, and YAY louis was my knight! =) Haha i was so tired already; thus, more clumsy and had absolutely NO stability. Usually i fell, bringing louis down with me, or he fell, bringing me down with him!! -.- Haha a wonderful pair we make -.- Oh oh i nearly forgot! My group was the first one to go down, and it was my turn to carry the shared knapsack i had with jia zhen. Sigh i was a little afraid cause i was relaly scared about going down and the knapsack seemed to be hindering me. HALLEJUAH for jia zhen's partner! Ahhh more about him later! Muahahaha! For now, jsut take it that he offered to help me carry the knapsack, in addition to his own bag. BTW, he helped jz carry the bag on the way up too. Ahhhh =)
Okay blah blah blah fell down, got back up, fell down, slipped, got cuts, bruises, went back on track.... ... ... ... ... My group decided to take a funny route. Everyone used the dry root, which was the jungle terrain, but i don't know why my leader led us through the river bed -.- Oh well
The obscene river bed where i kep faling on my knees and backside
YAY! WE REACHED OUR CAMP BASE! Episode trek 4 coming up, the next time i'm free... Watch out for it! Don't give up on me! I'll finish this, i promise!
6th November 2006
Rushed into class and realised oops, i was late. No matter, cuase the group i was evaluating is the second group, but then i had to evaluate the first group for eileen and stephanie. Felt like a little bumble bee. Haha somehow mondays are never good days. We're never on time. What can i say, it's a 9am class! And.... rekha was panicking too cause too had to evaluate a group. Hai ya, thsi evaluation thing is........... dot dot dot. Haha
Right, had english after communications class. Heard that johan had only an hour of sleep the day before. My, he's admirable! The fact that he could go to school so early (he was the first group who had to present in COM 101), WOW! I would have just continued sleeping at home and "heck care" the world. Haha oops. Okay, i FINALLY PRESENTED ON MY RESEARCH PAPER TOPIC! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*panicks shivers panicks*
My stupid mindmap was so tiny, the font size i mean. I couldn't read anything, and i was shaking inside. I am SO not good at these public presentations stuff. Sigh...
Well the one good thing about today was that eileen and i managed to print out all our english info stuff, regarding the research paper. AHHHH feel so complete now. =) BUT no cause for celebration. WHY? I've only got the information! I have yet to do my draft of the paper! ANDDDDD There are THREE computer science assignments to hand up next week! Dying dying... Not to mention the psychology test coming up this thursday! PLUS the psychology PRESENTATION... SIGH... another presentation =( Do we have to wear ties?
Talking about psychology, gosh, my notes are everywhere! Literally! I just realised how many people have been photocopying my notes. Uhh i hope these people score. Haha if they don't, i'm so going to have a "hate club". Haha first it was jonathan, then johan, audrey, jadyn............. hmmmm...
What's the worst that could happen? They score, and i don't. Then i think i would kill myself. It's sec 2 all over again. Haha my lending of my literature textbook to timothy caused him to achieve the first position in literature, and i got a what.... 58/100 or something like that?? Haha rubbish. Oh well. I do hope i cna get a good B for psychology. Pretty disappointing, tis semester. I'm getting all Bs and Cs. Scary eh...
BUT i've got the greatest friends in SIM too! Cherie is so generous and didn't mind lending us her prison break vcds to burn. Sweet eh? She's no longer called "selfish", haha she's "selfless!" The problem is, we don't have burners. -.- Therefore, jane, my lady in shining black, came in! The poor girl's burning everything for us! Thanks you both! You're my princes who saved me from the wicked shamila! (is that her name? sha-mi-la)
Love you guys!

31st October 2006
Oh before i forget...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! =) hahahaha
So the 5 of us boarded the lorry. Do not ask me what possessed us to sit on the lorry instead of a jeep, or whatever else they had. Mind you, the ride on the lorry is no ordinary ride. We don't sit IN the lorry, we sit ON the lorry. Literally. PLanks were nailed across the sides of the lorry, and we sat ON THE PLANKS. In case you didn't quite catch that, we sat ON THE PLANKS. Meaning.. ON THE PLANKS!!!!! We had nothing to hold, except the planks!!! Is that scary or what? We went up and down slopes, went SQUISH across HUGE puddles of muddy water, wnet boom boom BUMP over really ROCKY paths... sigh... haha our butts! No matter, only butts right? BUT the worse was yet to come. As we were going straight into jungle-like terrain, GOODNESS. The people sitting at the sides... Poor guys! There were branches and leaves swipping past them. It was so dangerous really. You could have either fell backwards off the lorry and rolled down, or you could have been knocked down by the hanging solid branch, or you could have been cut real bad by thorns. Poor Eileen, this bumble bee thing stung her on her head. One moment she was sitting next to me, the next moment she was yelling "Get it off Get it off VERY PAIN!" I was panicking lar. i saw it on her head and i actually thought i flicked it off, but it seems that it was stuck on her scalp. Poor girl, she was crying. I have no idea what that insect was. It was black with orange stripes. Anyone knows what it is? Sigh... Well at least she didn't blank out, or suffered from any i don't know, side effects of that sting. Except for a red lump, there was nothing much. What i was worried about was that that lump contained poison or something, and that if it was not treated soon, Eileen might be real sick later. She's okay now anyway, so i guess it's fine. =)
Well, we reached the campsite, an empty piece of land. Guess what? We were to set up our tents there. So uhhh heh, the guys kinda set up the tent. And we just kinda stood around. Haha i wanted to help, but there was just nothing to do. Felt a little bad though, cause later they set up the second tent, and gave us the first one. They did EVERYTHING. Like... Uhh feel a little useless? heh
Group picture before setting off...Before we could do anything else, we were told to pack our day packs as the trek to to waterfall was immediate. Goodness panicked! Haha I whipped out my obscenely bright yellow pack, and started stuffing cereal inside together with louis (cute eh? he's nearly got the same name as me! He's this guy in my group too!). Haha well we were going to have our lunch there right? Therefore, we needed food! I shared the bag with jia zhen cause i thought it would be ridiculous to carry so many bags up there. Haha she was so cute! SHe brought along these water shoes thing that SUPPOSEDLY is so effective that water does not get in. Well this theory was SO proven wrong later. HAHAHA so off we went.
Sorry guys, it seems like this blogging of the trek will never end. Maybe i'll cut it short and write in point form the next time. I've got to go now. Need to study. This is a rare day when i am free to study "on my own". There is no homework or assignments due immediately, exlcusing CSE (comptuer science) that is. =) See ya
love, loisa

13th -15th October 2006
- Stephanie
- Krystel
- Eileen
- Jia Zhen
- Loisa
These group of able bodied girls embarked on a treacherous trekking trip to the Rainbow Falls and Bukit Paranoma in Malaysia. At Rainbow Falls, the highlight was duh, the waterfalls haha, as can be seen from the name itself. In Bukit Pranoma, it was the SUNRISE. -.- Yes, don't laugh, we trekked all the way up, to miss the sunrise. Haha right, here's the full juicy story from miss loisa koh. . . . .
To be continued.
Day 1 - 20th October 2006 (Friday)
JZ AND I WERE LATE! zoom zoom zoom! I waited for her at Jurong East Mrt station, an was hopping impatiently from one foot to another. SIGH haha it was coming 7pm, and that was the time we were supposed to be AT KRNJI MRT STATION! haha Grand entrance we made indeed, with out wild and erm moppie-like hair, and our blooming big knapsakcs, we rushed, no ran, towards the bunch of OutDoor Adventure Club peeps (ODAC). Riiight, we looked like we were participating in the amazing race or something, but hey, everyone else rpetty much looked the same! WAHAHAHA some had bags bigger than hours! *snickers* AND SOME, *hey steph!* had bags as small as a harversack/schoolbag. (you so want to strangle them eh?) Krystel was real early, and she was sitting there looking like an angel. Steph and eileen were lost on their way to Kranji, so we waited for them. No worries though, as there were others who were later! In fact, jz and i could be considered early. -.- hahahaha
So the trekking gang boarded bus 170 towards JB, but as luck would have it, it was jammed. We fell out of the bus, literally, as we were still unused to the big bags, and struggled throughout the causeway... ON FOOT! It was my first time WALKING to JB, so it was kinda cool. ONe thing i loved about this trip was the experience gained.
1) the jungle like-ness of it all
2) the trekking
3) the traditional way of going into JB (walking, stumbling trhough the crowds)
etc.
At the customs, it was ridiculous. Our Singapore customs officer sure had loads of comments for us. He told Krystel to open "her curtain" (hair) as she looked very difference form her passport photo, told jz all about the departure form, and called me "boy boy". The ultimate was the Malysian side, when the guy told me "10 year old little girls shouldn't be travelling without their mothers". Wah i nearly snapped! I furiously turned to my date of birth and wordlessly stuffed it into his face. See it for yourself, you big meanie!
ps: Passport covers were amusing! Mine was normal, thank goodness, krystel's had a very nice sunshine on it, but jz... hmm, it needs further elaboration. She's disney kid! A hello kitty passport cover, mickey mouse wallet, and... a tweetybird plaster! (ahem.. haha)
Well we took bus 170 yet again to Larkin bus station, in Malaysia, and stopped at Marybrown's to eat. Sigh, that was when i found out my malaysian one rinngit-s were expired. I tired to use them to pay for my iced milo and the cashier went "These are expired already!" How embarrassing was that?! Sigh...
Here we are at Marybrown's! =)

Right, onwards, march march march, to the coach we hired! ARGHHH a 6 hours bus ride! I could have died in there. We were rushing to put our bags at the back, so i took out only my windbreaker (GB's one), and left everything else! Thankgoodness Jia zhen brought her MP3 player along to entertain us. We listened to quite a few songs, so wasn't so sick on the bus. After a while, was a bit tired already, so went to sleep. I mean come on, it was like 2 plus in the morning? Haha our body clock went so wrong... Krystel sat with another guy in our group, and i felt a little cause she was alone. Anyway, i think it was better for her to sit there in the end, cause jz and i were a little uncomfortable in our seats. We were as good as stuck! Nevermind, we'll leave it as that.
FINALLY the bus had a rest stop. We all got off to pee, and pee, and peeeeeeee..... Everyone were so zombieliked and cold. So off we trooped to the coffee shop to get our hot milo. Before the milo could even arrive, the whole lot were back boarding the bus already. We were like "WHAT?!" *panicks* I was trying to gorge down my milo as quickly as posisble but it was so SO scorching hot!! Actually, i wanted to finish the whole cup, but since the girls were so fast in drinking, i decided to forgo the lasy half of my milo. =) Was quite sad. Haha, all the way to the bus i was literally thinking longingly of that half filled cup of MILO.
Well back to the bus.. sigh... back to our seats... sigh... back on the road... sigh... back to sleep... sigh...
ARRIVAL! SQ...
Okay so not so high class. Just the arrival of a very normal coach at Sungei Lembing! We packed our daypacks, AND GOT TO BRUSH OUR TEETH! Haha, a very rare thing down there... After that, the interesting part comes...
There's Krystel looking.. uhh.. REALLY stoned...
THE LORRY RIDE!!!
(to be continued once again) heh heh

9th October 2006
I got back my CSE (computer science) grade today! Just realised something, peopel are never ever contented with what they have. I mean, how much can we improve in such a short period of time right? Not to worry, i'm not pointing fingers at anyone, only at myself really haha. You see, i failed my first BASIC computer science test 2 weeks back, perhaps? I had 5/10, but in SIM, that ain't the passing mark. The passing mark is 60 %. Annoying right? haha Such high standards.
Anyway, this time round, for the mid terms, HEY i passed!!! BUT i got a C grade, i think. 25/40. I know i passed, but i dare not calculate the actual grade. It could be a C-, or a D, but whatever, i don't really want to know. Initially i was so ultra excited, SUPER happy, cause i thought " OEI LOISA KOH MEI SHI! You passed girl! You're the genius of the world! SUPERGIRL!" hahahaha yeah narcissist i know haha, but give me some credit here, i IMPROVED. That is the important thing right? Always improving, that's the best anyone can hope for.
Yet... After a while, i began to feel... sore? I don't know, like hey, why couldn't i have got better? Oh, but what the heck, i'll do better for the finals eh? As long as i improve, i'm the luckiest girl on the planet!
Thank you Lord. =)
ps: the peeps are back, they got their results already! HEY GUYS! haha =)

8th October 2006
BRING OUT THE MASKS PEOPLE! 1997 is BACK!
Riiight, being dramatic here...
Anyway, on just don't open your windows and doors too much okay? It's very choking... I'm thirsty, i'm hot, and i'm uncomfortable, but somehow it makes me work faster and better. Now that the haze has cleared up a little, i seem to be more laggy... oh well.
Gotta run, literally. My dog's screaming for me. She's horrible lar. This morning she wanted to watch tv, so i turned the channel to "beyblade" on kids central for her. Not quite sure why, but she loves that show. -.- Don't ask. AND NOW, she wants to go for a walk. Siiighhhhh
see ya =)

Poem
Watch, as He shines His light on me
No mountains too high, no waters too deep
My soul is for the Lord to keep
I lift up my voice, with songs so sweet
And it will be the Lord i'll meet
Forever faithful, i will remain
My love for the Lord, i will sustain
My name is in the book of life
The Lord has removed, all my sighs (?? or lies?)
Thank you Lord, for loving me. Oh,
I shall worship You, now and forever so.
(or Thank you Lord, for loving me
I shall worship You, for all to see)
I kinda came up with this on the spot after reading the previous post in an email i received. Haha it ain't too good, it is after all, just a small lil poetry of a thing. HEY i am an amateur okay! haha i had a little trouble with the second last stanza. couldn't seem to rhyme it. AND i can't decide which one to use for the lazy stanza. the "or" part sounds nicer, of course, but i kinda like the other one put there. haha oh well. It is for the Lord, so wh cares? It's what in the heart, that is true. Right? haha =)
With less than a minute left, the coach called a time out. Now he knew that every girl on that court had been over the plays a million times. They didn't need elaborate help to set up a play for a last second win. They needed to calm down and play the way they knew how to play. So when they bent into that huddle, the coach told them something more than a little unconventional. "Go out there. Play the game. Have fun. Do your best, and I'll win it for you."
No pressure instructions. No you have to win this or we lose to our rivals. No anxiety-inducing strategy. Simply, "Go play, and I'll win it for you."
To my way of thinking, that was an audacious statement because in reality, it wouldn't be the coach taking the shot that would win or lose the game. He would be standing on the sideline with no direct control whatsoever. However, this coach knew something about the training these girls had been through, and he knew without a doubt they could do it. The problem was they didn't know they could do it, and so, he let them rely not on themselves for the win but on him.
The amazing thing to me when I really started thinking about this statement is that what that coach told his team is exactly what Jesus tells each one of us: "Go out there. Play the game. Have fun. Do your best, and I'll win it for you."
"Play the game. Have fun."
We think it's all on us-that we have to get everything right, do everything perfectly, or our "win" will never materialize. In fact, we get sucked into this mentality that Heaven may be just out of our reach no matter what we do. However, I think the reality is that Jesus is the coach standing on the sideline having full faith that we can do everything He's trained us to do. We can love just like He's shown us. We can give; we can live-not because we can do it on our own but because He's right there, and He has faith that we have been given everything we need to win through Him.
I'm sure you know the end of the story. When the buzzer sounded, the team who had just gone out, had fun, and done their best was victorious.]
One day the final buzzer of your life will sound, and the question at that moment will be this: Did you allow Jesus to be your coach? Did you have faith that He would win the game for you-or are you still trying to win it yourself? It's a question worth contemplating.

30th September 2006
I wasted a whole lot of time on wednesday night. Apparently, so did jia zhen. Haha we sure make a lot of boos boos, it's no wonder we get HYSTERICAL every now and then. We actually typed out our history )UGC) stuff, VERY nciely, and we were nearly completing the thing too, when.. we realised we were doing the wrong assignment. Instead of the week 5's homework, we were happily typing away week 4!! GRAHHHHH... After that, i think i usd up too much of my brain cells or something, i couldn't seem to understand what the heck i was typing for the REAL homework. Kenneth was grumbling away with me haha. We were both lost in the "light", we were so NOT "enlightened". Reading about plato, aristotle, daoism... i felt lke i was the one chained and in a cave, partly due the fact that my eyes were closing. Jia zhen completed hers so fast lar. So i stayed on the computer til...3 plus? Couldn't take it anymore and panicked, asking jonathan and gary to wake me up. Jon because he wakes up at 5.45am anyway, and gary cause, haha he was the only one alive on msn at that point of time.
5.45am. Jon called. I think i went back to sleep, cause gary woke me up again at 6am. Sigh, stupid homework. This is the first time in my entire life waking up in the morning to do homework can. NEVER before have i bothered to decrease my sleep in the mornings for school stuff. I sleep late, yes, but i NEVER EVER wake up early. And i obviously do not intend to again, cuase in school, boy was it nuts. I was falling asleep everywhere, and i actually fell asleep on the floor before UGC class started. Disugsting.
Then again, UGC has been giving everyone nightmares. Everyone has been asking and talking to me about that silly assignment. Let's count...
Gracelyn, Kenneth, Jia zhen, Jonathan, Cherie, Jocelyn, Eileen, Elizabeth... Did i miss anyone out? Ah well 8 then... SEE? Poor us haha *wallowing in self-pity*
*slaps ownself*
Right. I shall stop complaining. Gotta study study study. The mid-terms are
HERE!!!!
ANGEL! Hang in there! I'm with you! =)

"Only one life, Twil soon be past
Only your work for Christ will last"
Hmm inspirational eh? Made me realise that my sole purpose on earth, and everyone else's i guess, is to glorify the Lord, win more souls, and bless everyone around me.
I shall try to do that, but i of course will stray halfway and therefore, i say a little prayer for the Lord to give me strength and faith to carry on.
On to a few jokes i read in an email. Pretty hilarious haha. I couldn't stop laughing.
- "work facinates me". I can look at it all day. (-.-)
- The wise never marry, but when and if they do, they become otherwise. (ahahaha!)

22nd September
Anyway, i'm feeling quite proud of myself. I managed to conquer my frustrations and not go mad. I was on the verge of pulling out all my hair just now though, ha, that must be the reason why i looked so flustered and sick when i got in SIM. At least, that's what steph and jocelyn said.
I was trying to do a little on my CSE 111 project. I'm required to do up some html thing, my own website or something like that.
BUT
My silly notepad programme cannot save in html format. My MS word has hidden codes which automatically implant themselves into my already painfully typed codes, so my website comes out funny. AND i do not have microsoft office or front page, which can be used to view html stuff.
Wonderful eh? I had 29 copies of html codes saved in text format, and 29 similar ones saved in html format. Both formats did not work. SO in total, i typed 58 files worth of rubbish. Such a waste of my time, effort, and eyesight. It's no wonder i'm getting a headache now. Jocelyn was sweet though. She offered to help me. And i love my cherie too! She told me i could type my stuff out in notepad, and send it to her so she can help me save it in html format. However, i'm thinking of tryign to download my own MS office/front page thing. I don't want to bother her too much. We're all like super stressed here already.
Sheesh, assignment after assignment after project after project keeps pilling up. I'm not scoring fantastically for my tests too. I merely passed for my "world civilisation" and english tests, and i FAILED my first computer test can. See? I told you technology and loisa are just not meant to be. Oh well. I'm going to really try my best, at least i will not have any regrets. All the other things i can't do, God will help me do. =)
AHA another headache. The communications objectivity project. Sigh, i've been tryign to find articles but my silly computer can't get into any nice websites. It keeps going error error, and disconnecting itself. What is going wrong?
*PIAK* smacks a fly. This annoying fly keeps flying into my face. What the heck is wrong with it? I need one of those electronic rackets which can kill flies with just one swip, but then again, that's cruelty. Sigh...
Hmmm, i think i'm goign to be sick. I keep coughing and sniffing. Grah...
*sings* Virus virus go away, come again another day, or maybe not at all... =)
Right, sorry, going outta my mind. i'm off!

21st September 2006
to say...
that i will not be posting much for the next few weeks? or maybe for the rest of this semester. Haha, it would depends on how busy i am, and my mood.
Lately i've been ever so tired, and gosh i have like TONS of assignments now, so people, don't talk to me in long sentences or i'll get blur and go nuts on you!
Well busy busy, gotta run, literally. =) See ya!
love, loisa.

16th Sptember 2006
Yesterday i read on audrey and shawn's blogs that a certain samuel tan passed away. He's a junior in BB. All the while that i have been working with BB, it's always with amos, or tinsley, or someone from my year. So, i didn't feel the impact as much. I was never good with names anyway.
Then
As i was flipping through the papers today, i came across the orbituary, and i went oh shiat, samuel! He's only 16 years old, and he hasn't even done his O levels yet. I saw his picture there, his handsome strong face, and oh no... It brings me back to think why i never... whatever, the words aren't coming out of my mouth.
I used to see him in church, and he's always with his parents and brother. Whenever there are bibles, cds, or vcds to be sold, he's the one who take money from his mum and runs down to get them. Even though we don't know each other like super personally, i used to play face games with him, in church. We knew each other existed, i knew he was the Head of BB, he knew i was the Head of GB, we knew we were there in church, but we pretended not to recognise each other. One week he nodded at me, i smiled at him, he smiled back at me, i nodded back at him, and it continued for the next few weeks. Our families sat together during one service, and we were making faces at each other throughout the sermon. Oops, yes, hut.. argh...
Shoot. i Passed him a little bit of my secondary school notes too, when i met him once along the corridor. Same subject, and he asked for it.
I wish i had never marked him down. Numerous times, when i was in sec 3, and he, in sec 2, i used to book him. I was a councillor and was part of the recess duty team. He was always such a rascal, staying back in class so late. Gah
I don't know, suddenly everything's so.. wrong? without him? Nevermind, all said, he's best known for his leadership skills, and i've always somewhat admired him from afar, cause he seemed so cool with his red sash and BB uniform, giving out commands wiht no effort, and everyone listened, you know?
Right, i don't know what point i'm trying to make here. I guess it's jsut so sudden and i'll miss him, somewhat.
Ps. Stay away from mosquitos. Dengue fever can take lives away very very very fast. =(

11th Sptember 2006
Oh well good, then it is not a distraction. I can slowly cut down on my silly profile, which by the way, is now 17 pages!! I'm always doing things like that. I have so much trouble trying to write it out, and then all of a sudden, everything comes pouring out. The maximum is 5 pages. Nice, 17 pages, hallejuah. I don't even know what to cut out now lar. Well, at least jonathan has 8 pages; thus, i can cut mine down to around 10? It'll be a miracle if i can do it to 5. If so, everyone owes me an ice cream. Haha oops, greedy me...
Right now, i'm talking to angel and cherie.
Angel plus loisa: Complaining about the price of ink, about the weather, about GP topics, about essays, about MSN... haha
Cherie plus loisa: Complaining about the communications teacher, who is a total ummm ************. Can't remember the stuff jonathan taught me, but whatever it is, it's not good. (don't bother to count the number of stars or play hang man, cuase it's not according to the bad bad words)
Seems like we're complaining a lot these days huh...
OH OH! Cherie was ubberly sweet today. Oh gosh so touching, i was like sniffing away at home when i opened her little gift to me. Awww, it's a key chain! THANK YOU THANK YOU a thousand times! =) On it, it read "smart, pretty and kind".
I'M PRETTY! *making a big announcement here* Right rubbish. Anyway, i didn't kow i was smart and kind. Haha, it may or may not be true, but it's nice to think someone thinks so eh? I hope to be that though! haha =)
Cherie's my guardian angel in UB! Haha
I just realised my shorts has a big hole at the backside area. Right, i either sat on something sharp and pulled really hard so my shorts tore, or my dog bit it. I'm thinking the latter. Haha okay, that was a bit random. Nevermind.
Oh yeah Oh yeah! It was a really hectic day today. Will not kill you wiht the details. Basically, eileen, jonathan and i rushed from school to the NEW bishan library and back again, to borrow books for our research paper. Talking about that, i am now haivng trouble wiht my research topic, question, AND thesis. Haha in other words, the entire thing. Haha
Oh and oh the way there, jonathan gave me his phone card! So cool! I've been collecting phone cards way back in primary school. I obviously stopped in secondary school cause i was too lazy, but his was nice. It's the scenery of a river. Really pretty. =)
An interesting incident happened to christine today too. But it's a little embarrassing so we'll leave it at that. jane helped me with my phone too. She's so nice, i love her!! =) Jia zhen sent me some MP3 songs, and AHEM, the pirates of the Caribbean theme song! =)
Can you just tell i need so much help in my daily life? Sad eh? I vow to be independant as soon as possible.
Loisa! Grow up quickly! haha =)

thoughts for the day
haha "complete" is from my neighbour (i've got to find out his name. he's my neighbour and we don't know each other's names -.- ), "uptight" is from jonathan, "airhead" is from myself.
I'm a striver, i think. THINK. Strivers tend to strive, and therefore, " hai zi ji", stress themselves out. When i push myself too much, i feel the pinch, and thnn i can't do things up to my own expectations. In fact, sometimes, i do worst than my usual standard. That's for the "uptight" part of course.
*i'm philoso-phying here, so if you get bored, skip this entire thing =)*
On to the airhead. I read cherie's post, and hmm, "spare"... hmmm... I'm doing all those work like crazy, and then i freely distribute my work out when people ask me "how to do". Kinda dumb on my part eh? I should be teaching them, not spoon feeding them, especially with MY work too. Hmm just a thought. No offense to anyone. =)
Back to the word "complete". I can't believe i'm even thinking about these stuff! Haha, let alone allowing myself to feel funny! Dumb eh. I'm supposed to be this care-free, simple minded girl who loves everyone, and now i suddenly feel... used? NAH
Loisa is talking rubbish. It must be the lack of sleep.
Dear heavenly Father, i love You, and i love myself too! Amen. =)
*sings* Happy happy happy buggy.... =)
Cherie
She's been an angel to me.=, and i truly thank the Lord for blessing me with a wonderful friend.
She was so sweet can... sweet as honey haha. On wednesday, we had communications lesson, and she saved a seat for me!! Awwww right, she's porbably diaoing me now as she reads this... She shared gummies with us too! Haha told ya, the way to loisa's heart is through her stomach. Heh heh
Oh oh and she even passed me a piece of paper with handphone deals! Haha i was discussing with ehr the day before about my changing my handphone, since it's so pathetic already... And she just helped me along... geee
WAIT! The best thing? She was my pillar of strength last night! I was ready to faint on teh spot while doing my profile for english, and she took the time to scan, reformat and send her notes to me. We have different handouts you see, and hers are quite useful. A total angel, isn't she? A God-sent angel, to me.
awww i love cherie... =)
7th September 2006
English class was first, and we edited each others essays. Unfortunately, my essay couldn't be edited cuase the editor, was out. Again, the word "wasted". Sigh... ah well... I liked eileen and johan's profiles... really nice =) Charles' one wasn't too bad either, but jon's... uhh too political lar arh... haha "Mahatir bin Mohamad"... Sorry, i wouldn't read up on him, though jon did write pretty well.
Later, we gate crashed into the critical thinking class. It's supposed to make you smarter... haha yeah right. Jane, christine and samuel were there so well... hee. Initially, i tired following the thought processes of the critical thinking lesson, but halfway i was lost, and i just got more tired and fed up, so i gave up and half slept, half read my UGC book. Jon drew a picture but i guess he tore it up, that idiot... haha nah...
Aha UGC time! Met jia zhen and kenneth there. Krystel didn't go, perhaps she was tired too. We received our last papers and i got a check! It's the middle grade, equivalent to a B. Awww, i didn't get a check +, which is an A, but well, first attempt, good enough! =) It seemed that the previous gang had gonw to a taiwan restaurant in bukit timah to have lunch, so they ta pao-ed for us. Ummmmm not bad.. not bad at all =) SLIGHTLY blend, but i enjoyed it nonetheless... IT WAS SPICY!!!! Haha was exploding towards the end, had to steal everyone's ice... sigh...
Whew finally, psychology. Last lesson for the day. I was truly falling asleep by then and everythign was one ear in, one ear out. No, it should be nothing in, everything out. It's no wonder my brain is total emptiness right now. Oops i nearly forgot a very important thing. Jia zhen brought banana chips for us today! haha yummmm.... talking about YUMMY stuff, jane bought tis hazelnut coffe latte thing from megabites. I've got to get myself one of those! OOOOO
Over and out. Loisa.

2nd Spetember 2006
I have a psychological problem, and that is... i think i'm biased against ESL 408. I have this ridiculous fear of nina's class, not becasue of nina, but by the requirements of the class. I'm spending an obscene amount of time researching for the english research paper, AND the silly profile of... a telephone/internet. The thing is, it's not due yet. What my first priority should be is the conputer studies quiz coming up on monday (which is rubbish! i don't know WHAT to study and i don't even have the book), and the psychology test on tuesday (and there's A LOT to study for that!) Clemmy arh clemence, why did you have to initiate the change of the quiz date? Sigh nevermind, we'll get it over and done with yeah? =)
