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!

She Woke Up from the Right Side of her Bed This Morning.
Near the band room at 7.00am today, you can see seven people sitting in a circle just talking and chatting about everyday topics.
All of them are classmates. They would be
Jia Ying,
Sarah,
Anna,
Azri,
Min Wen,
Fatin and yours truly.
In the middle of their conversation..
Pn Hjh Afrinah : 'Morning girls!
*conversation comes to a sudden halt, while yours truly was still babbling about something in Chinese.*
Leonie : *turns around and see Pn Hjh Afrinah*Inner Leonie : Oh hawt damn. I'm in deep shit.(Explaination : Why is yours truly in deep shit? Because I had a broken a rule, though it is a rule that isn't mentioned often, but you're only allowed to speak in English and Bahasa Malaysia in the school compound.)*very short silence*
Pn Hjh Afrinah :
Relaks ah girls! Dah exam ke hari ini? *chuckles, smiles at the group, then walks away.*
Classmates : ...
Classmate A : Is she okay?
Classmate B : Had something possessed her?
Classmate C : Is she out of her mind?
Classmate D : I know! This morning,
mesti her husband bagi her a kiss on her cheek!
Classmate E : No la! Somebody made breakfast for her just now!
Classmate F : *something about her children making her breakfast earlier.*
Leonie : I honestly thought she was going to kill me for speaking Chinese!
Classmate A : She must have thought we were studying early in the morning. See,
Sarah and
Leonie have their books open.
Leonie : Wait, she told us to relax right? *closes History textbook.* Then let us all 4 Science 1 kids fail our finals together! *tosses book away.*Some Classmates : Deal!
Other Classmates : *laughs along.*
Azri : So the seven people here, are witnesses to this statement by Puan Hjh Afrinah.
*****I don't want to assume who said what, since I was pretty lost in the commotion, I was really paying attention to who said what. I remembered
Anna saying something about the kids and husband though. Haha!
As for
Azri, she said something similar to that, but I don't think it's her exact dialogue. Lol.
But what's most important is definitely this.
The morning started off with a rare awesome moment shared by seven awesome classmates.
