At last, the mid years are over. Sweet.

Initially my original plan was to blog before the exams, but since I'm so good at procrastinating and yes, I do feel bad about not studying and going online instead, so plans sorta got cancelled.

Anyway, just some random post till I'm in the blogging mood for the Tebrau River Clean-Up update.

Wanted to blog about this some time ago, but obviously me, being a very bad organizer of time, never did get to blog about it.

So, a little food for thought here.

I watched a couple of episodes from the Arena 2 and this episode just managed to grab my attention from the rest.

Normally I just watch the Arena when they have interesting motions or when they have really good schools competing I guess, because of my so-called hectic schedule. But this particular episode just had a super duper interesting motion and a very daring school.

Madrasah Al-Maarif Al-Islamiah. Yes, an Islamic school against Singapore American School.

Don't deny it, from the perspective of a typical Malaysian, Malaysians often think that a vast majority, and definitely not all of the Malays can't speak fluent English.

Well, in this episode, the show just practically proved otherwise.

The motion was something like the same motion during the district level quarter finals. The theme which is New media, new dangers! - The Internet has brought more harm than good to today's youth with Madrasah as the government and SAS as the opposition. FYI, SIGS was also the government for the same motion in the quarter finals so I totally get what these people are trying to say.

So, anyway, the highlight of the show was Siti Nur Diyanah Hardy, she's one wicked debater. Thanks goodness she got best speaker, or the judges shall never live it down, cos she's really good compared to the others.

And anyway, another debater from Madrasah managed to get my attention..

See the girl in the middle? She's Muslihah Albakri. Well, I can't seem to find any individual pictures of her debating so you may not get what I'm trying to say, but take a look at who's this:

If you're really THAT daft, but I'm sure you guys are not, is Anne Hathaway who is Princess Mia in the movie based the series by Meg Cabot "The Princess Diaries". Okay, I digress, not like I'm her publicist and all that, but anyhow, can you see the resemblance between Muslihah here and Mia? Like seriously, if you didn't watch her debating yourself I bet nobody would notice the similarities. Lol.

*****Lots of people went for the In-Camp.

Thank goodness I'm not there, thought they managed to get out of Intervensi but the weather was seriously horrible beyond words. The grass I can say is literally burnt crisp. Global warming is seriously getting to us people, so buck up and make an effort to save Mother Earth y'all!

*****Going for this year's MPO from the 4th - 6th of June.

And guess what?

I'm bunking with Rozi for the whole trip!

Apparently she 'booked' me before the rest and me included could have a say, and her excuse for that as she said to the rest who are going..

"Cos I'll be lonely." XD, literally for her that is.

It's with that smirk and evil-looking grin and..If you know Rozi well enough you'll get which expression I'm talking about.

And during the taklimat for the trip, Pn Yew gave us forms to fill in for the rooming, and you are supposed to write down your phone numbers for contact.

And when I got the paper, I see Rozi and my name TYPED and printed nicely on that same piece of paper, but anyway I proceeded with writing my contacts down, when suddenly..

"LEONIE! What are you doing??"

I look up and see Rozi right in front of me.

"You want to tukar-tukar bilik is it?"

"No la teacher, just wanna write my number down only." XDD

"Cheh, okay la. I thought what.." And she gave that relieved and very very very satisfied smile.

So, the end result..

...

...

...

I have nothing more to say XD

But I guess it won't be that bad, it'll just depend on her mood, which is usually extra good during trips like these X)

Maybe I can get her to wake me up in the mornings! V(^^)V

Till a much more worth-reading entry, ciao!

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 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.

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.

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.

I don’t have a favourite genre – I read any book that interests me!

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

…are just some of the things I would love to do in the near future, hopefully!

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!
