Yes, as the title goes.

I owe all of my loyal readers, aka my darling friends and those who are actually bothered to update themselves on my boring daily routine, what's been going on in my side of the world.

So, as most of you should know by now, I went to Melaka and KL for, let's say, a short family vacation on Wednesday and Thursday.

It rocked, really. Hard to describe with just words, in fact.

Funny how I really enjoyed just two days with my whole family, with everybody there, just spending time, sitting down, having a meal together, and talk just about anything and everything under the sky.

Honestly, it's rare to get the whole family together like this.

I really appreciate the moments we spent together, for I think I really needed a break from the usual environment of school and tuition.

Melaka was awesome. I got to splurge on five new books there, and I had already finished one of them, which is a really, really good book. Thank goodness mumsie managed to see it and show it to me, or I would had never noticed it, and would had gone on with the earlier plan of buying the latest two books by Lisi Harrison in the Clique series, which I had been collecting since it first came out in stores. Oh well, they would have to wait. (:

KL was just as good. Managed to chomp on a lot of food there. Haha, with a glutton like me, that's normal, seriously. But hey, who doesn't live for good food? :3

And the best part is..


I love that table, somehow.

I'm going to be called crazy, but whatever. I heart that study table! Obssessed much? xD

Oh yeah, as to the fact of why I even had a study table to work on, daddykins, mumsie and I shared a room at HELP Residence, so that we can spend more time with kor. Heh. It was pretty cool, despite having just a shard of what was previously a mirror in the bathroom and the spoilt lights. Not forgetting the mattresses that were rock hard. Trust me, I am not exaggerating.

I'm quite blessed to have learnt something from all the Girl Guide camps I had been to, from sleeping on very dry ground of the field in a wet and undried tent, to sleeping on tables, cement floors, staircases, corridors, tables, and canteen benches. Just as smooth, and hard.

So, I totally chose to gave up the mattress to my dad, let him have the pillow, blanket and all, on the condition that I helped him move the mattress to the floor.

I took the sleeping bag instead and slept on the bed that had its mattress removed.

So basically, I slept on just a wooden surface of the bed, or the papan, as my parents call it.

When we all woke up the next morning..

Daddykins : Eh, backache la.
Mumsie : Yalor, same.
Daddykins : The mattresses are really rock solid hard, like papan.
Mumsie : Wonder how our son manages to survive such a mattress.
Leonie : *secretly feels grateful that she had survived worst conditions*
Mumsie : Girl ah, massage my back for me please.
Inner Leonie : Where's Jia Ying when I need her.

Left around 3pm. Plan to get something from Subway failed, since I was so full from lunch before. I had to finish up my mum's and kor's as well. And Azri actually said I'm skinny. As if! I eat too much. Haha.

And, fulfilling the part of a spoilt baby sister, I cried, AGAIN, just as we left the hostel and said bye to kor.

Boo.

Amazingly, we managed to reach home, in 3 hours plus.

And my dad didn't speed.

Wow indeed.

It's a miracle I managed to climb out of bed today and go to school like usual.

Missed Jia Ying and Guppy a lot! Had a family reunion with them at the back! :D

Miss the crazy classmates as well. Lol.

And the nice people whom I sit with now at the canteen during recess!

A lot of other people in fact.

Gosh, I really need to stop all that negative war of thoughts in my head and start being more optimistic.

Things aren't so bad.

If I can ever see things in a different light.

Step by step then. I'll get there.

One day. (:

Might be updating a lil' more often now. ;)

To Naomi and Ozri, you got your update. :]

PS : Thanks much to Naomi and Natchie. Khai and Azri. And of course, my Twinnie. You all know what you did, and I'm truly grateful. To those who care for me as well, my most sincere thanks to y'all as well.

PPS : Cai Ling's letter made me smile ever so easily. I love her.

PPPS : A second PS is already too much, what more a third. But tuition today was fun. Who knew dichotomy keys are so much fun? And drawing on Pikamon's hand, fooling around with MaoMao, discussing with Yi Shian about work, and having Khai and Guppy there..Bio tuition now never fails to bore me, with these people around. =) Mr Kung actually praised my work, for the first time. Ever.

PPPPS : Promise, last one here. We learnt about genus and species today. Zymase = Zea mays. XD

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!
