YELLOW SUBMARINE, YELLOW SUBMARINE. :D
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
The past few days have been nothing short of fun, but as the seniors keep reminding me, the workload will become very heavy very fast. Thank you. Please do keep reminding me. I am not being sarcastic. I do not want to slip into a state of complacency. Miss Caroline’s lecture today was hard and tough for us to swallow, but I was kind of expecting it. She gave me a lot of food for thought (and, consequently, indigestion) but I’m grateful for it. She’s not afraid to address the kind of things we’re afraid to address, especially about ourselves. She’s the kind of person who takes no excuses and nonsense of any sort. She spares no feelings. If you have a flaw or a weak point in your statement/argument, she’ll see it. And she won’t attack it. She’ll tear it apart, decimate it, and macerate it until your self-esteem’s in tatters! This sounds like a death wish, but I WILL be sticking with English Lit for my A-Levels. Because I stand to gain so much more than an a love for literature and a passion for poetry. What do I get from Bio? A knowledge of the human anatomy that I can easily get from my parents and an A to show it. Do I think I can handle English Lit/Miss Caroline? Yes. I’ll probably die along the way. Not just once or twice, many times. But like I said; if I manage to go through with this subject and come out the other end alive, I’ll have gained a lot more than just an A-level grade. Heck, even if I die along the way I’ll have gained something! Maybe I know what I’m getting myself into; maybe I don’t. Maybe I’m signing my soul away for good. I feel like I’m signing a contract in blood. In any case, English Lit, here I come.
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
