- BAM!
Thursday, June 17, 2010
In one of the debates at ICRC, one of the speakers on the opposing team stood up and began her speech by announcing that goldfish have a memory of three seconds, and that she hoped that all present had memories like goldfishes. I don’t really remember why exactly she hoped we had a memory span of a fish; maybe so we could forget everything that their team’s previous speaker had said that had screwed their team up. But if it makes her happy, I think I really do have the memory of one of those gaping guppies: there are so many important things about life that I forget. And I say forget, because it’s not like I don’t know these things. They just… Slip my mind at the most inopportune moments. 
I have to remember that the opinion of one person doesn’t signify anything; that I shouldn’t rest on my laurels anyway; that there is no shortcut to anything worthwhile; that everything is subjective, even if people choose to believe otherwise; to screw talent, just outwork everyone else; to not edit my feelings; to be bigger than my troubles. I have to remember that there will always be second chances; that consistency pays off; to stop wishing and start working; and that I have a piano class at 9.30am and I am still up this late, blogging as if my life depends on it wtf. Evidently I also have to remember to prioritize.

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
