IF NAUTICAL NONSENSE BE SOMETHING YOU WISH…

If any of you are cursing yourselves for mucking up your SPMs so far, allow me to cheer you up by telling me about my BM essay paper. (And if you’ve been on facebook, it’s the same story. I can’t decide whether to cry or laugh over it, but at this moment I feel like doing the latter. :] That and I think everyone needs some light relief.) I’d written this fantastically long and (in my then opinion) awezum essay on kesan-kesan pemanasan global. I used a lot of canggih words like memaslahatkan and mutakhir ini, blah blah blah. I really pulled out all of Pn Phang’s stops. I was feeling really good cause I’d prepared stuff for this essay and I’d written a similar one before. And I thought it would really prove my smarts if I wrote about recent events I’d read about in the newspapers. So I wrote about that swarm of oversized jellyfish that are messing up the fishermen’s livelihood. And I was right damn proud of myself for thinking of it. I was pretty sure I’d done well. KENDATIPUN BEGITU, I found out yesterday that jellyfish in Malay is “obor-obor”. Which, prior to Karluis telling me about it, I didn’t know. I had written it as “ikan agar-agar”. 
So my examiner is going to be reading a half-page-long paragraph about how a swarm of “ikan agar-agar gergasi” have been terrorizing the fishermen of Japan and making them want to quit fishing because they have been eating all the other fish in the sea. Oh tuhanku. D: I haven’t had the guts to tell my BM tuition teacher yet!!!
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
