Baring It All.
My name really is Leonie.
It’s not an English name I came up with for myself. My mother is indeed a genius in coming up with such a splendid name for me. Although my name has been unfortunately mutilated (nicknames are excluded) over the past years, full credits to my mum for my current identity.
I’m a cancer patient.
I’m certainly looking forward to changing the word ‘patient’ to ‘survivor’! If you’re interested to read about my journey in battling lymphoma, you can click
here to proceed to my cancer blog.
Green is my favourite colour.
Ironic, I know; this blog is mainly pink instead. I like all colours actually, but I find myself having an affinity to the colour
green. In fact, I can safely say that
green is my
soul colour.
I’m an art-appreciator.
Languages, music, fashion, photography, cultures, dance, literature, writing; just about anything, really. The arts truly intrigue me, especially thought-provoking pieces. Of course, the arts play a major role in inspiring me in my everyday life.
You’ll find me carrying a book to just about everywhere.
I don’t have a favourite genre – I read any book that interests me!
I found out that I’m actually a left-hander.
I am a trained right-hander from young, since apparently being left-handed is considered ‘wrong’. Basically,
I’m ambidextrous! No wonder I find it easier to air guitar using my left hand than my right; I simply relate to the arts than subjects that deal with logical thinking better, too.
Taurus is my astrological sign.
A stubborn Bull I am, too. I abhor being rushed. I prefer doing matters at my own reasonable pace. I don’t particularly like changes in my routine, but I can adapt quite easily. I’m a very practical person as well. I enjoy the beautiful things in life, but that doesn’t make me shun ugliness at all. Besides, it all depends on how one perceives beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
I’m a born perfectionist.
Still am, but I’m slowly learning to accept imperfection into my life. Also, I’m doing my best to erase the many expectations I have so I could one day master the art of letting go and freeing myself to simple happiness and joy.
A natural drama queen.
Compared to before, I’m less dramatic nowadays. Language-wise, I attempt to blog flawlessly in English and speak proper English online with my peers. Call me a Grammar Nazi all you want, but that’s how I roll. I only converse in perfect English in formal situations and during my dramatic outbursts. Otherwise, I’m absolutely capable of communicating like the average Malaysian!
It’s a pleasure to learn and discover new things.
It’s a different issue altogether when you’re forced to learn for the sake of getting good grades, though. Other than that, I’m open to new information and knowledge anytime! I especially would like to learn more languages and pick up new musical instruments.
Travelling around the world, participating in artistic photoshoots, performing in a band, writing a book…
…are just some of the things I would love to do in the near future, hopefully!
When it comes to social relationships,
the basic rules apply. If you respect me, I’ll respect you. If you happen to be someone who has low EQ skills, I’ll try to be tolerant but my patience is definitely limited. I’m observant when it comes to human behaviour. I’m a person of many opinions, but I don’t voice them out unless I trust you enough; I’m very honest and candid when it comes to the people I can trust. Even though I trust very easily, not everybody can prove that they’re all that nice. Hurt me, and I’ll only defend myself if necessary. Hurt my family or my friends –
you won’t find me holding back.
Is there anything else you would like to know about me?Throw me your questions and/or doubts
here! I honestly have nothing to hide, so you’ll expect the truth and nothing but the truth.
It’s only how I phrase my answers that you’ll have to be aware of.
Or…you can click
hereto go back to reading!

Christmas Break in Melaka-Day 2
Whew. Back again. Can't connect to the Internet properly because of the earthquake that happened in Taiwan. God bless the earthquake victims,Internet users that can't go online and avid bloggers like me.
Better finish this entry quick before everything shuts down again.
So back to report on day 2. Woke up bright and early. Way earlier then my parents and my bro.


The view from the balcony window. The swimming pool's just opposite.
Went into Melaka Raya. Took some pics along the way.

This waterfall's amazing. Lol.

Look! "Pemimpin Berwawasan. Melaka Negeri Maju." And our PM's there.
Great.

Tan Kim Hock. Nice pineapple tarts there too.
Kenderaan Orang Cacat Sahaja. And the people who park their cars in this very area all seem to be in one piece. Or I say they all think they are disabled,no?

Yippee.


The walls were repainted purple and yellow or some other colour but they repainted it the original red again,seeing that's the only way Melaka really looks like.

I meant to take a photo of a coffeeshop but this came into my shot instead. Sorry,uncle..


Some stalls.

A'Famosa. Awesome.


The two magnificent ships. There used to be a helicopter which my bro really liked but it was removed. Somehow.

I love bridal shops. Sudden obsession for it. Not really a shock as I passed by like, TEN bridal boutiques on a school day.


Restoran Ole Sayang. Can never,NEVER get tired of the food there. Delicious.





Some pictures inside. My hands were dying to take some pictures here,lol. And I'm very fascinated with that lantern.

More of Mahkota Parade after lunch. Sadly,I did return that beautiful black dress.


After more shopping,stuck in a jam. Right in the mall. And the car behind us making very melodious sounds at the back. The horns of his car was nice. Like he was going 'Mary had a little lamb,little lamb,etc.' with his horn. Really interesting guy. Hehe.

The temple I always pray at during my Chinese Year trips here.
Had dinner at Ayer Keroh. Can't take pics here. And a Hong Kong
les drama was on. Ugh. They have bad taste in dramas.

A glimpse of my hotel room. Heh. The bed on the left's mine. And watched a very nice little musical. The Christmas Carol.
End of day 2.
