Post-SPM Activity #1:
A day out at the beach with some awesome company.

Seeing the picture above somehow reminded me of how I got ambushed by Jeffrey and Picasso two years ago during RYLA '08. After failed attempts to free myself from their strong grips on my wrists and ankles, the next thing I knew was that I was swallowing sea water in the South China Sea. I miss those good old times a lot.

I have been studying today, only to receive a cruel wake-up call on how little I know in the subjects I'm taking for SPM. Honestly, the only subject which I'm confident on scoring at least an A is English. I don't even want to think of the other nine subjects I'm sitting for. Gosh.

I have to learn how to write long essays again. After two months from taking a break getting used to chemotherapy and all, I found my wrist and hand aching terribly after writing a few mere sentences. In 48 days, I need to learn how to write again. Hurrah. If my handwriting doesn't improve in 48 days, the examiners are most probably going to get furious marking my papers and they're going to give me low marks because they can't bear to read my bad handwriting any further.

Studying isn't that bad after all. I find myself actually wanting to work on sums. I can't say the same for the sciences and History though.

Thanks to Anna, I finally found a site which allows me to generate a signature which I can include at the end of my blog entries. I always wanted a classy way to end my posts. It looks more..complete, somehow. To me, anyway.

A lot of people I know believe that I can do very well for SPM. Well, I'm not sure if I can achieve much in 48 days, but I'll try my best. Hopefully, my next two chemo sessions won't burden my body too much. I really need to buck up, and get SPM over and done with. That applies to my having cancer too.

I think I'll attempt to study Chemistry now.

Till the next entry, cheers!

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!
