About the Author
At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

Theres tons, gazillion of tons of things I absolutely have to do. I have no wish to leave an abyssmal trail of residual-homework sludge behind me, so the most pressing matter would of course be to complete all my furikin' homework. (Some of which have been due since April)
I also definitely have to start exercising again. Not only is my body losing its once still half-decent shape, my fitness level has also shown to be deproving exponentially as the days go by. Apparently, I have to start by eating healthily. Fat hope (get it? As in, I'm getting fat, so like, fat hope means, "I hope") that that would happen. In the past week, or rather, in the past 5 days, all of my meals, or at least 7/10 of my lunch and dinners have been fast food. Not only is that dastard statistic burning a hole in my pocket, I suspect that it has also been drilling a gouge in my oesophagus, as my cough from 3 weeks ago shows no signs of leaving me. Ack.
As for National Day, I'm actually making some headway in this, and this progress, or at least what I like to think as progress is making me feel very proud of myself for accepting this challenge. I'm not the most patriotic sort, but then again, without Singapore's existence, I guess I wouldn't be rooted in comfort, harmony and relative happiness.
One other pressing issue is money. I need money. I need money by the pounds. I lack the cash I require to purchase the synthesiser I desire. (If you paid enough attention to the previous line, you'd realise there'd been a rhyme)$580. In my wallet, there is $5.95, barely enough to purchase a MacDonald's extra value meal. In my bank account, there's not much more. HOWEVER, I take comfort in the knowledge that I have my reserves, though they seem highly unlikely to pay me my due dividends. If I'm lucky though, I'd be able to raise half that amount by the end of the holidays.
So much to worry about, so much to lose sleep, to pull out hair over.
and yet,
yet.
