LOVE ISN’T LOVE TILL YOU GIVE IT AWAY.

Last Wednesday I was waiting for my Chinese tuition teacher to turn up when I got a call on my cell. Thinking it was the tuition teacher calling to cancel class I picked up the phone and drawled (yes! I drawled!) - (Drawl: 1. to say or speak in a slow manner, usually prolonging the vowels.) “HELLO.” And then this dude with a really serious tone told me I’d been selected for the SASA scholarship interview, which I’d applied for. Whoops. Definitely not my Chinese tuition teacher. I got a shock and sat up and took down the details and stuff. And I even asked some stupid questions in order not to seem so… Stupid. And then he goes, “Are you from BRATs?” Oh dear. “You know who am I?” *and here he sounded not so serious. This dude was SMILING on the other end of the line.* “Uh…” “I’m Jie Cong!” “Ohhmygod screw you.” And I didn’t mean it lah. I was just so… Relieved that it was someone I knew that I just said the first thing on my brain. Yes, I do wierd things when I’m in periods of emotional tension. So expect me to be doing a lot of weird things tomorrow before my interview. Then I found out that Jie Cong had done the same thing to all the friends he’d called. =___= he must have had fun. I was going to say, with an interview on tomorrow, it’s the absolutely WRONG time to come down with a sniffling cold and to have trials around the corner. Want us to die ah? :(
INTRODUCING
Name: Louise
13 April 1992
You can only call me Lulu if you don’t think the name’s funny.
I am a member of the Smiley Conspiracy and a proud ex-CHS-ian, graduating class of 2009. Now doing A-Levels at HELP University College. Is proudly Malaysian, but doesn’t look like it and is proud of that too.
This is the 7th time I am editing this about section of the blog this year; I have sort of accepted that my personality is ever-evolving, ever-changing, therefore rendering my moods as volatile as the weather. But just as there are some things that have stood untouched across the centuries by harsh weather, so there are some things with me that remain ever the same: a belief that to live is to learn, and the ability to bounce back from setbacks.
What I love also remains constant. I love good food, dancing, fresh experiences, open minds and friendly people, all of which can be found in the wonderful wonderful city that is Istanbul. I love musicals, plays, good books, stickers, owls, colourful wrapping paper, hugs and kisses, chocolates, almost any music from the 17th to the 21st century, intense debates and post-it notes.
Fictional characters I have been compared to (in terms of personality) are Piglet from Winnie The Pooh and Kelsi from High School Musical.
I dream of finishing this list [29/8/2010: list is undergoing revamp!], and my secret ambition is to become a hairdresser or bartender. Unfortunately I’m also incredibly kiasu, so I’m going to go to university just to show everyone that I can. But want to go to uni also because I love learning lah!
Words that describe me are impulsive, impetuous, quixotic, sanguine, quirky, bewildered, kiasu and hodgepodge. The last one also refers to my sense of fashion.
*GRINS* :D
