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.

Haven't been able to pen my thoughts down (or rather, type, whatever)not because there hasn't been time. God knows that I've been spending too much time on unneccesary things instead of being a good student and studying.
But I've got a lot to say, but when it gets to saying things, something always gets in the way.
I guess as always, I'm just waiting for the perfect time. Holding back, holding back, tantalus-ing, and BAM, before I know it, all gone.
Sad isn't it.
Okay, reflection time.
The past 2 school years has really been characterised by well, the phrase 'that was close'. From rushing last moment to fulfil a stroke of theatric genius (I don't care what they say, I'm mega proud of my sudden inspiration without which I'd have been literally left with nothing) to ALMOST, but not quite (rather contrary actually), committing social suicide. Oh gosh, I believe that moment of stupidity, extreme irrationality and I must say, a real lack of planning, remains the single most haunting memory in JC life. Right Aloy (except of course Aloy, you do have many other moments to match it!! Like, the l-a-c-e-thing etc.)
But one thing, I must say, is that I don't regret any bit of it. NOt a chance, nuh-uh. My brother set me thinking the other day. What if I fell through the net, and did not return to the school and was instead left stranded in a hostile environment which (no offense to them) would definitely be unable to inspire my brilliant (okay, this is subjective) mind.
That was close.
No doubt, there would've been an extreme polarity between the person that I would have been nurtured to be. And I thank God, for 'moving mountains' and making miracles. Of course, the hard part is not letting everyone down. I cannot help but feel that the weight of more than a few big shot's rationality and perceptiveness rides on the back of my end results. So too the hopes for second chances for people in the same predicament as myself.
Gosh darn it, I'll miss the school, the people, the everything. I've been really fortunate, to be part of probably the two greatest institutions possible, which really taught me how to live and love, and love to live.
No regretzxz.
And right now, the clock ticks on, waiting, tantalizing, crafting, that one opportune, moment.
