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

Today's cross-country was... Well, awesome o.O I DID spend a lot of time preparing for it, or more than normal. And I did eat one banana more than I did last year!

But I still didn't expect to get number 7! Especially when I only got 34th place last year! Totally worth all four blisters I have now. HAHA.

It was horrible, though, when so many people got disqualified. Hui Shan, Hua Hui; Yao Jie, Sui Lun (!)

Stupid QuarterMasters. Other people shouldn't have to lose their placing just because of YOUR errors. And it's all very well for you, since you got to cosy up in a car till you reached your check point and you just stand there taking names! The rest of us had to work our asses off 5km or 8km to get to the finishing line and you disqualify them because you got too comfortable standing there and fell asleep and missed their number.

Shit.

So officially I got number 5, but in my opinion (and I think I speak for everyone) Hui Shan and Hua Hui deserved to have a placing in the top 5.
