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.

Its a new night and a new day, what can I say,
its just the same old, brand new you.
I need to shake of this current funk I'm having. Its not good for my soul, and its not helping my own pursuit of happiness.
I don't lie when I say I'm happy, thats for sure.
In this past week or so, if anything, I've learnt more about myself and answered most of the questions plaguing me. I've solved some long-standing puzzles too!
1. Finally realise why I don't like chinese songs. Its simply because they are too darn direct lyrics-wise. Not much space for poetic value in them. I like subtext, I like having to figure out what stuff means, I like it when there is more than meets the eye.
2. My obssession with Green Tea can be euphemised as a way of natural selection. A way to ensure that my future generations are the strongest. Survival of the fittest. Those who can survive the early onslaught of spermicidal green tea will surely be a cut above the average ones. (Sperms, for those who don't know what I'm saying)
3. I like to play with salt shakers when eating in restaurants which provides salt shakers. Particularly sprinkling salt on the table, and blowing it in all directions! So fun!
4. Actually, I like to play with food in general. The thrill of a launched chicken projectile hitting its target, the satisfaction of a ice-spit projectile meeting its mark.
5. I like long bus rides. (Fine, I didn't figure this out on my own, but still, I learnt something new) It gives me time to think, time to breathe. Now I know why people savour time alone so much. It really just clears everything. Every negative thought is dispelled, every negative thing neutralised.
6. I hate beer. I just can't stomach it.
7. I like insulting people's faces. Or at least, try to.
8. The rhythmic sound of waves crashing upon a break-water is indeed calming, despite the cliche image.
9. I like reassuring myself that whatever I do, I do it to make myself happy, and often enough, I convince myself that I am doing the right thing.
10. I like hearing what others have to say, but sometimes, I really need to listen. So I'm going to start now.
Yeah. About ten things which I learnt about myself.
Narcisistic me, being all full of myself now.
I know, sometimes, I may really be stubborn, and downright depressing. Its stupid of me. I care so much about this that sometimes, I assume that things aren't all right, and I know its stupid. I hope you read this. I'm sorry for being understanding, but not understanding enough at times. I wouldn't change this for the world ever. Which is funny, cause you are my world. My happy place, where anything and everything is possible and good. "The night is darkest just before the dawn". Just let the sun shine through, and light up this endless path laid out, hopping over any obstructions, together.
