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!

Rainy Changes.
Credits to Tsinelas by Mikashitamo.There is a very good reason for that picture above.
Concerning that, at approximately 7.45PM earlier, the whole family had dinner together and were
TRYING to get back to the car.
Three problems that were faced while
TRYING to do so :
- It was raining cats and dogs.
- The car was at the other side of the road.
- Nobody brought the umbrella out.
So, we managed to borrow an umbrella (thanks to the owner of that umbrella by the way) and with that one umbrella,
'Daddykins' and
kor went to the car first and then the former came back with an extra umbrella from the car for
mumsie and to escort
moi back.
Before that, while they were busy getting soaked in the rain,
mumsie and I saw a mother and a daughter aged six or so if I'm not mistaken with an umbrella, obviously trying to cross the road to get to the other side as well.
The kid was whining 'cos she didn't want to get her pretty polished black Mary Janes wet from the flooding roadsides. So, after much fidgeting and persuasion, her mum finally decided to carry her across the roadside and smiled at
mumsie and I while she was at it.
Not too long after that..
Daddykins : Girl, you're wearing slippers right?
Leonie : Yeaaaaaaaaah.
Daddykins : Then 'it' shouldn't be a problem. *stares at the continuously flooding roadside*
Leonie : ..geranimooooooooooo!
The water was freaking cold, I giggled when I first stepped into it, almost fell too. But I managed to regain enough balance to stand up again.
It was then I exclaimed loudly enough for my parents to hear in the pouring rain,
"MY SLIPPER'S FLOATING AWAY!"Thank gawd it did not go far enough till it ends up in the drain or underneath someone's car, or it's goodbye forever to that pretty slipper I bought in Melaka last year.
Silly me. LOL.
On another random note, I decided to finally add more friends on my brand new Myspace account, and the first among that batch of friends was
Karyn Ong.
Check out our statuses XD*****I actually updated twice in a day!
Azri the
nenek would like that :P
