I’m assuming that this refers to ‘Who Killed Jane Doe?’ and not my blog link. But anyway, it has nothing to do with me being a big fan of jelly. I was 13, and I was trying to think of a unique blog link that is different and creative. So, 'Resist The Jellified Sky' was randomly thought of while I was brainstorming in the showers; and it stuck ever since. I'm still tempted to change my blog link, but this link has sentimental value to it. I'm sentimental like that, sue me.
Okay, don't. I don't have any cash to fork out if you do.
Previously, I named my blog ‘Land of Make-Believe’ in tribute to Green Day’s song Jesus of Suburbia. That song remains one of my all-time favourites, not only it has very deep meaning behind its lyrics, but it’s approximately 10 minutes of pure joy, angst and rebellion altogether.
But then, I suddenly craved a change. I wanted something more original than something I picked out from a song that was someone else’s creative idea.
So, after being very into the CSI franchise for a period of time before this – I happened to watch an episode which had a Jane Doe in it. She was so beautiful and so young, yet she remained unidentified. Nobody came to claim the body for burial, nor does anyone know who her murderer was at the moment. It was saddening to watch. I found it just a shame that said Jane Doe had to die such a wrongful death at such a young age when she had a whole future ahead of her.
Hence, I came up with my current blog name. My blog name has dual meaning, besides the one that I had already talked about earlier. I like to think that I have an inner Jane Doe in me, that remains unidentified, yet I know she’s there somewhere. Somehow, one day – I felt like she’s gone. I don’t know whether it is a good thing or bad, but still, it felt like someone just killed her and took that part of me away. I’m still searching, and at the same time wondering what happened to that part of me and who she actually was.
I realised the above paragraph made me sound like I’m suffering from split personality disorder or something similar. No worries, I’m still very much a sane person, thank you very much.
Or so I think.

Meanwhile, this video is really awesome. My brother first introduced it to me, and I saw Karyn sharing this a few days later.
Hello there! You must have guessed by now – this is Leonie here, and I have no intention of boring you out with a long introduction of yours truly.
I have to admit though – I’m quite an interesting individual; those who know me can confirm that, and those who don’t…I don’t mean to brag, but you’re definitely missing out!
Feel free to click here to get to know me a little bit better! No worries, I’m very friendly and I won’t bite!
Meanwhile, enjoy reading the Fool in Frames!
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.
