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.

Life So Far.
Oh gawd, I feel so darn lethargic right now.
I'm seriously worn out from school. There's not only homework with crazy deadlines to think about, but many other school obligations to consider.
And knowing me, I have the worst time management skills.
If I'm already complaning and moaning about the first week of school, what about the coming weeks when there's sports practises and in due time, extra classes?
Oh yeah, I haven't mentioned that I also have homework from tuition to complete?
Optimism huh. I'm really trying very hard to stay smiley.
Truth is, I'm sleep-deprived and I miss my online life.
I have a sleep debt to settle, and I think I'm falling sick again from being sleep-deprived.
Great, all these in the first week of school. Hurrah.
I need some time to settle down again with school life till I'm more used to the hectic insane times.
Meanwhile, some highlights of yesterday and today:
- Pn. Shahida looks at me as if I'm able to give her the correct figures for Accounts. :/
- Mr Tey never fails to make me look bad in class. In a humourous way I guess. And his translation from English to Malay is not all that great either. xD
- En. Ismail is an AWESOME English teacher! I salute to him for his amazing pronunciation and spelling. His lesson on celebrities was really interesting! I look forward to English lessons now again, thanks to him. (:
- Pn. Lakhsmi is teaching us Maths, as usual. Glad to have her actually! And it was shocking to have her tell me to write smaller for my workings in the modules, or they won't fit. Lol.
- Pn. Gan is another AWESOME teacher! She tells us all these facts that makes the lesson a whole lot more interesting! I really hope she and En. Ismail will continue teaching us till the day SPM comes.
- Add. Maths with Pn. Adilah is fine. She's optimistic about the subject, and she was grumbling about how tired and hungry she was. Like the rest of us. Hahah!
Might not update this space for some time, 'cos I really need to get started on homework, tuition work, and school obligations.
Cheers!
