THE CRACKS IN MY SKIN CAN PROVE, AS THE YEARS WILL TESTIFY;

It’s not 25 June yet but HANG EVERYTHING. I need to talk about the Biology Paper 3 exam! WARNING: If you’re in a bad mood and you didn’t do well in your paper 3, skip this post. I don’t intentionally mean to rub it in, alright? :( So I got the paper and I flipped to the back to see the written practical part. “Construct an experiment to determine the level of water pollution in pond water, river water…” I nearly popped. WHAAAAT? I study yeast, population density and rate of transpiration and you give me WATER POLLUTION?!! I hadn’t studied this at all. I couldn’t remember ANYTHING about the water pollution experiment except for one fact – it involved methylene blue solution. And a fat lotta help that was, because I couldn’t remember what the meth blue solution was supposed to do. Turn green? Decolourise? Give off effervescence? I was so, so screwed. I decided, okay lah. Just create an experiment of my own. It’s gonna be all wrong but at least there’ll be something for the teacher to mark. Better than handing in a blank paper. So one and a half hours later, we had all handed in the paper and I was feeling really terrible. I asked Prashanth, “So what was the experiment anyway?” “Oh just add meth blue to each of the water samples and they decolourize. The faster they decolourize, the more polluted it is.” I stared. “That’s it?” “Yeah.” “You sure?” “Yup.” *long pause* “Oh, my God. That’s what I wrote.” And yes, my made-up experiment had consisted of adding meth blue to the water samples and waiting for them to decolourize. I SWEAR TO GOD I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE EXPERIMENT WAS LIKE. I MADE IT ALL UP. AND. I. GOT. IT. RIGHT. :D !!!!!!!!! AM I OR AM I NOT THE LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE TODAY? And yeah, I know my experiment used beakers instead of reagent bottles (which makes sense lah) and I didn’t have any diagram, WHO CARES. I’m getting more marks than I expected I would! So do ignore the crazy little monkey jumping around the room like a live pogo stick! In my opinion, she’s totally excused! I AM LUCKYLUCKYLUCKYLUCKYLUCKYLUCKYLUCKY! I mean, what are the chances of you making up an experiment and hitting it right on the spot? Somebody upstairs loves ♥♥♥ me VERY VERY MUCH. :) Although, granted, I can’t say the same for the rest of my papers lah. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT. PS: Sparknotes are awesome!
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
