Music is what feelings sound like.

I think Disney gets a really bad rep. People tend to switch off the moment anything from HSM or Camp Rock is seen or heard. “Ughhhh, I hate HSM!” Okay sure, fine, so most of the storylines are incredibly cheesy and unrealistic. Disney can be accused of making young children believe in unrealistic happy endings. But SERIOUSLY LAH. How many people do you know are truly so gullible as to believe that everything will work out perfectly like in the cartoons? Complete with a prince charming and a dead villain? Even my kid cousin knows it’s unrealistic. Don’t shoot people down for believing in happy endings, because optimism is overrated but completely necessary for our mental wellbeing. In any case, how most of us are smart enough to imagine a happy ending within the limits of reason, a happy ending we can work for. (Friends, please don’t prove me wrong on that point. Lol.) Whether or not belief in happy endings is something good is a debatable issue, so I’m going to leave it at that. But what troubles me is that we have not only stopped watching the movies but also the songs as well. I get my friends groaning over HSM and Camp Rock songs whenever they come on over the speaker. Somewhere along our hurry to shed our childhood and be viewed as people with mature tastes, we also lost the ability to appreciate Disney for what it also is: a producer of good music. I have no problems in admitting that I love listening to Demi Lovato’s Camp Rock tunes and Disney music from the days of The Little Mermaid. Disney’s cheesy, but it’s not one of the biggest sources of the world’s entertainment for nothing. Their shows have quality lah! Actually I just had to tell you about this, because the song Prince Ali from Aladdin is maddeningly stuck in my head. I feel the urge to play it whenever I walk into a room. “PRINCE ALI! AMOROUS HE! ALI ABABWA!” -___________________________-“ This post is so chinchai! But let me assure you, IT IS NOT MY FAULT. I actually wanted to blog about the conversation I had on msn last night with Zean Shiung about accommodation at MDO! But I couldn’t. Because while he was being so funny, posting the conversation up is going to get a lot of important people pissed off with us. Or specifically, him. (Sadly, none of them are politicians, but still.) This is all your fault, Zhaun! All the clean bits make no sense if I leave the censored bits out! ): What a waste of good blogging material. Pfffffft Labels: Friends, Musings, Random-ia
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
