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!

An Unexpected Reaction
Reactions more like it.
My heart skipped a beat when I read Hazel's latest entry.
Yes, I really didn't expect my name to pop up in her blog, as I don't think I'm that a major topic to blog about.
But it did happen.
And now my response.
Hazel.
I seriously did not ever expect an apology from you. For some reason.
But let me tell you this if you ever come here.
Yes, I admit, I had always thought you were the one spreading rumours about me. I really want to doubt it as it's really plain downright lowly, but too many people had mentioned that it's you who did it, and I think it's better off if I clear off my doubts first.
Even though if it's ever true, it's not about me that I'm quite mad about. From many different sources, it was said that you mentioned stuff about other people too, like Najwa. I really don't mind nor care what people crap about me, but about others, that's pretty bad. Especially when it
seems so two-faced of you guys. Pardon me, but this is just from the what-I'd-heard point of view so if you feel offended, don't blame me. It's because we, which is Najwa and me, had been receiving the cold treatment from almost everybody in class and it's been really disturbing to know that people are against us just because of debate. Which is really dumb as we're joining just to represent the school, definitely not for abusing our power.
And about the popularity factor. I had never said it was you. Or anybody. I was just pointing this to someone who had changed a lot since I thought I knew her. And that's sincerely for me to know. And for anybody to find out.
Especially HER. But yeah, it's not you and I had never meant for it to imply that it was you or anybody.
I rather forgive and forget actually. But I'd never had a grudge against you guys. Serious. What for?
And blame the sensitivity or whatever, I still feel the sarcasm coming.
So if I sound sarcastic and it offends you in any way, understand that it's my nature to turn on the sarcasm in me to defend myself from the sarcasm of others.
The sincerity's really cool. That's real.
Anyway, whatever it was that happened in Form 1, I can't remember at all.
So this blog entry of mine shall decide whether we'll stay friends or go our separate ways.
This will be the deciding factor.
I'm praying for a blood free war.
*****Third round against Perling tomorrow.
Bless us, Convent's next if we win.
*****Najwa, it wasn't funny when I said the
doa after getting my Science marks. I was really
DAMN relieved okay XD
*****To the tagger with the name of 'spareme'. You're such a noble, courageous, and popular optimist. Please revert all the words I had mentioned to their respective antonyms.
