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

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

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

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

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

When i felt the wind in my hair.

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

THEN

*BEEP BEEEP BEEEPPPP*

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

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

KEN

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

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

OOOOMMMMGGGGG everybody scream now....

KEN!!! Miyake Ken from V6! hehehehehehe

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

grin

THANK YOU JOCE! -hug-

23rd November 2007

Thoughts for today...

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

GIVE A STONE FACE. LOOK PROFESSIONAL.

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

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

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

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

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

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

ROAR SMASH *throws a fit* STOMPS STOMPS STOMPS!

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

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

*pulls hair*

Grumble. Right. Done being sulky.

Puts on this sickly sweet toothy grin on my face.

-GRIN-

Right.

8th November 2007

Rightho.

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

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

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

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

I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING THAT FITS ME!

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

*throws arms in the air and rolls eyes*

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

Out.

23rd October 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

That's it! See ya =)

14th October 2007

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

Okay end of show. See ya!

8th September 2007 (Overnight cycling)

So...

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

We had entertainment on the bus almost immediately.

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

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

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

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

So, off we were!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3rd - 7th September 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

3rd September 2007

So anyway...

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

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

Right enough is enough, Loisa!

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

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

21st August 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MAMA MIA!

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

THANK YOU AUNTIE!!! =)

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

10th August 2007

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

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

Love, loisa.

8th August 2007

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EILEEN!!

7th August 2007

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

Well here you go!

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



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






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



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

The DMS monster strikes!

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

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

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

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

Reporting live from the Koh Household.

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

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

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

Arghh... maddening day...
