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.

Reminiscence II.
One of the few pictures I first took during RYLA last year.
Those who went for RYLA at Kota Tinggi before would find this place familiar.
Hint : Strong winds, sea breeze, fresh air, and free Pantene ads.
(:I got the info for RYLA '09, and I'm so darn tempted to go!
It's the only time when I get to go crazy and just be myself. It's also where I
learnt to be myself.
If you're on Facebook, you might be seeing all that RYLA talk and all those memories that resurfaced. Talking about the good times never fail to make me smile. (:
It would be a great avenue to reconnect with the previous awesome RYLA-rians that are going again, and also I won't say no to new awesome friends! :D
Okay, but I'm still stuck in the dilemma of stupid December tuition classes for SPM next year. Ugh! Definitely ruining my plans.
And no, I can't postpone them to January. It's Omega we're talking about, and I doubt my parents will let me miss even one class. I was only lucky that all my classes for this year that started in December last year were
AFTER RYLA. That was only why I could go, and definitely, no regrets. ;)
Can the stupid timetable for Omega next year be released already? It'll be easier if I choose all my classes earlier, so I can plan ahead. Whether it's yes, or a no.
Hopefully it's a definite
YES!! *keeps fingers crossed*
*****By the way, Happy Halloween y'all! And a happy sweet sixteen to
Manmit! (:
