broken hearts, broken lives,
He will take them all


I received C's text at 2.35am, complaining.. well,
"This is the only time i'll say this. Your english is very good. Mine is not bad, if i say so myself but i just went over to your blog and realised i can't understand half of what u're saying. Now that you know your english is a notch above the rest of us normal folk,pls use more common words pls! Thanks:D "
(I copied word for word)

My reply:
"Haha, I use the thesaurus sometimes. Actually, I intended for it to be private, but, haha, alot of ppl found it anw, evn after shutting it down for some time. Ok, feedback reviewed. Will do away with Thesaurus & use English next time, haha! (:"

Well, Greetings People of the World.
I'm going to address my verbal catharsis of cheeem cheeem words, & the proposition of what seems to be my intelligence.

I don't already have a large vocabulary of words. For that matter, my vocabulary is actually quite limited, and I do use the Thesaurus sometimes. That, for several reasons, of which, I can only recall these now:
1. Cannot find the perfect word to bring across the picture.
2. Trying to hide a story behind what seems so confusing for readers.
3. Using words I alone understand, for the sake of trigger memory when I re-read old entries.
4. Big words help me remember details better
5. Improve English?
Honestly, big words are rarely used in daily speech everywhere. I don't really know why they were created for to begin with, but well... I've justified them for my personal use anyway.
So, my vocabulary bank is not actually inversely proportional to your brain, really. *Smile*

When I starting posting in http://leenette.blogspot.com again after its official closure, I was apprehensive. I'm aware the whole blogging style aint very me - & I saw judgements coming. Precisely why I removed the tagboard, so no one could say anything for the relief of any kind of asphyxiation. Then I would continue to believe this is where I can freely play another person I enjoyed, because "no one reads", no one judges.
(Ain't emo[tional]-ing here, but anyway, I hope you didnt stupidly click on the link)

Oh well, the privacy of the blog was short-lived. I didnt mind people reading as long as I dont know they do. Otherwise, knowing that people do read makes me a tag uncomfortable? But I relent now, and I'm going to start functioning as a normal reader-friendly blog that welcomes every curious soul that drops by. Yea, I'll put up the tagboard again soon, & probably do up the layout... Again ): (Volunteers?)

Gahh, this is such a long blog entry. I dislike long entries, really.

Just for the record, to C:
I dont know whether to feel happy or sad when you say,
"This is the only time i'll say this. Your english is very good."
Whatever it is, being the nice me I usually am anyway,
"Ya lah, your english is good lah, dont need to just 'say so [your]self'."

PS: I didnt touch the thesaurus for this post :D
