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!

Of Playboy Bunnies and Toothy Horrors.
I finally watched The House Bunny yesterday.It's not one of the best movies of 2008 maybe, but it's really bimbotic enough to entertain me - what with man holes and avoiding sharp corners while wearing water bras and highlighting the eyes with makeup is so important because apparently the eyes are the nipples of the face.
One of my favourite scenes has to be this :
After the crazy makeovers and they all start flaunting their newfound beauty, as they call it. Ahahahahahah.Entertaining indeed.
*****I also made a trip to the dentist yesterday.
My very nice new dentist told me during the checkup that if I ever were to get braces, it would be mainly for hygiene purposes, as decay is more likely to happen with my current teeth structure. Don't ask me how. There's a long explanation to this, but I'm not going to bother everyone with that.
So, with that, he started going through all the details with me.
If I was interested to get braces, he would be more than happy to arrange the procedures and if so, I have to go to two different places other than his for treatment - one for extracting
FOUR teeth and another to take
TWO x-rays of the skull to clearly plan out how am I going to get my braces done.
If I wasn't, then all I have to do is floss more regularly and make sure I go to the dentist every six months and all that.
Before I was given option two, my dentist told me in his usual tone that if I don't want braces, I can always choose to have all of my teeth extracted, and he can do a set of dentures for me.
All I remembered was staring blankly at his face.
And he can just say he was just joking, then laugh his head off.
I'm totally agreeing with my brother, he's a much better and professional dentist compared to the previous one that's totally insane and full of himself, just that this new dentist tells very sadistic jokes.
So, the point is..
"To get braces or not to get braces?"*Picture credits goes to

***** Random, but I was told I'm going to be blacklisted in Omega if I'm late for my Biology tuition one more time.
Sheesh, something nice to start the year with.
But in any case, I'm happy to announce that
Ng Ah Yuan is in the same Bio class as me!
And it's decided that
Ah Yuan and
Ah-Nie are sitting together for the next lesson, maybe the whole year!
We'll see about that :)
