& It’s Beating To The Rhythm Of My Own Plans;

This Post Is A Hodgepodge Post. 1. Truth be told, Pride and Prejudice is utterly boring. Hock Eu got it right when he called it old-fashioned chick lit. I like Elizabeth, but you can get tired of perfect, feisty characters. The less said about Jane the better. Mr Darcy is boring. YES NICOLE WONG YOU READ ME RIGHT. Darcy is boring!!! The only one I really like in the whole novel is Mr Collins. He’s comic relief. Well, him and Mrs. Bennet. *grins* I particularly like the scene in which Mr Collins proposes to Elizabeth. He’s so full of himself. Reminds me of some people I know. (; Oh well, at least P&P is only for one term. 2. Google Chrome is the BOMB. If you’ve ever tried it, you’ll know that it’s display is so much prettier than I.E. or Mozilla. But one of the best things about Chrome (for me) is the extensions that come with it. Like this extension called Google Dictionary. I can check definitions of certain words as easily as this: 
But my FAVOURITE extension is this one. 
It blocks certain sites so that you don’t spend an unnecessary amount of time on them. 
  
And after your allocated time is up, if you try to access any of the sites you blocked, this is all you get: 
GOOGLE CHROME IS A GODSEND. The creator of this extension should be nominated for sainthood, awarded the Nobel Prize, be granted amnesty for life and be knighted by the Queen!! I almost cried when I attached it to Facebook and all blogspot sites, but I was only disciplining myself. It’s the reason I’m feeling so optimistic about tomorrow’s English Lit presentation! :D Take that, Procrastination! The loophole is that I can just open the other web browser I have – Mozilla Firefox – and continue browsing all my blocked sites. But I’m too used to Chrome already, and all my bookmarks and passwords are saved in Chrome. So it looks like this self-imposed curfew is here to stay. Oh well. (: if when I make it to Oxbridge/The Ivy League I’ll look back on this and be eternally thankful. And when I’ve got my first credit card then I’ll make that $10 donation. *grins* Speaking about Ivy Leagues… 3. I made a complete fool out of myself. Ezreena knows what I’m talking about. But what on earth was I supposed to do?! I hardly even knew the guy! [i.i] Basically my pride and prejudice towards someone I hardly knew has just succeeded in dunking me in a really really really awkward situation. Ask me about it and I’ll tell you, I promise I will, and it’s funny (albeit at my expense!) but not here. Not on the blog. It’s mortifying!!! Maybe I shouldn’t be so quick to diss P&P after all. 4. Justin Choong is this pokey beanstalk who’s been haunting me since Standard 1 (same class for 4 years back then). Same primary school, secondary school and college. He runs so fast that he leaves the other contestants behind in clouds of dust. And he looks like Fido Dido. You know? 
Yeah he looks like that. (: Anyway Justin wants his birthday post. So, happy belated birthday! :D The thing is… I don’t even remember when his birthday is. I just know it’s late. Heh. Sorry boss. *grins* Labels: day-to-day, 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
