Your choice of music for reading?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 28 Apr 13

I'm looking for good music to tune to while I'm reading. So far I've been planning to put Pride and Prejudice's movie official soundtrack on loop while I'm on my book. I know that many of you must be so fond of classical music for...

What book are you reading now?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 23 Apr 13

I'm now reading 1984 on audiobook (or is it "listening"?) and I'm now only at chapter 2, so no spoilers, guys, though I know what the book is all about and I've heard great reviews of it. I'm also almost finished with Frank...

Does it bother you to be older as the years go by?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 23 Feb 13

I'm going to be 22 this year. It gets me thinking about the process of getting old and how it affects me as a young adult. There's also some sort of standard I find myself sticking to - I'm 22 now, so I should think critically,...

Do you rate much on discussions/responses?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 3 Aug 12

I just recently started doing that. But be warned to use it wisely because it's not like the like button on Facebook. I think other experienced myLotter may explain to what the rate button truly is for.

Do you make your friends laugh and felt uneasy about it?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 29 Jul 12

I spent the day with my friends yesterday and we had so much fun and laughter. I'm also glad that they enjoyed my company and that I was able to make them crack up over the simplest of jokes. They really do have a simple sense of...

You get more response on weekends

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 27 Jul 12

I just noticed, so many response flooding in when I check my mail today. Since most people now are at home enjoying the weekends they tend to spend more time on myLot responding to the discussions. All I can say is thank you!...

Are you now so happily married?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 27 Jul 12

There's a saying by Jane Austen, that happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. And nowadays we see a lot of divorces going on with celebs. I myself came from a broken family. And that leads me to not really believe...

The best breakfast? :D

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 26 Jul 12

Breakfasts are important, do NOT overlook this fact. Some people say it's not to have heavy breakfasts in the morning because you were asleep for 8 hours and you tummy would get a shock with sudden infusion of food. I'm...

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 26 Jul 12

Just thought it would be good to have something to munch while reading my textbooks and working out some practice questions. But sometimes I get distracted because I'm so busy munching and contemplating on how good my snack is and...

What did you learn from Pride & Prejudice, a book by J. Austen?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 26 Jul 12

I managed to get hold of this book last year and it's one of my favourites since then. What fascinates me most is Austen's writing style, as I'm also very interested in British English more than any other language I've...

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 25 Jul 12

I'm currently thinking of furthering my studies in the US but money is the problem. I really do wonder if colleges there accept pre-Uni STPM certificate(from Malaysia) to pursue a pre-med course because I'm interested to enter...

How do you deal with procrastination?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 24 Jul 12

Seriously? Maybe starve yourself would be a solution. I just have a huge problem with this. Just look at where I am right now instead of studying for my exam in November. I'm so going to fail if I continue like this. The internet,...

Have you ever been hungry for more than a day? Two days tops, perhaps?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 24 Jul 12

Yes, I have. It was awful. I was poor and out of food for some time but thankfully, God provides for His children when they are in need. Even if deliverance itself take some time. It does teach me about contentment and motivate me...

Are you addicted to Coke?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 24 Jul 12

At some point of my life, I was! Glad that I could scrape it off these days. It's really unhealthy considering the amount of sugar they put in to manufacture this drink. But I really do love it. I can drink it all day. But glad...

Share your love story

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 20 Jul 12

Just felt like broaching a topic on love and I thought, wouldn't it be interesting to hear about somebody's sweet love story, how they met their husband at all? So here you go. FYI, I don't have a lover, so I don't have a love...
