❥ KNOW ME

Holidays - Another favourite among her list of many things she lives for. The presents that come along with it, another much adored item. However the people she'll have to face during that time, the worst condition possible. As much as she likes holidays, she can't handle the crowd. The moment she sees one, she wants to run back to her room and duck under the covers. A bit anthropophobiac, because of this she was never able to walk on the streets safely without having to turn her head around every 30 seconds or so. She wasn't always like this. But one small incident in her childhood made her like this. Her childhood bully scarred her for life. When she thought all hope was lost her friend introduced her to making a penpal. Glad with the idea, she started to write letters to a person she never knew. He was that very friend she wanted, who'd know what was wrong with her through her writings alone. When she finally gathered up the courage to meet him, courtesy of her over-protective parents shielding her since that incident, it took a lot for her to be able to cross the road across her home itself. But when she finally met him, all her barriers came tumbling down.

❥ DEFINE ME

One of a kind ~ Eye smiles shaped like crescent moons, laughter that comes out more as snorts, her bright smile that creates a dimple right at the corner of her lips, Yong Soah can be defined as the autumn breeze, warm yet chilling. It's hard to put a finger on her character. There are so many sides of her, it's difficult to keep track of it all. Friendly but definitely not a people person. Shy and reserved but a chatterbox when she starts talking. Caring of other's feelings yet apathetic. She's never what she seems to be. She's that one person who's always doodling on her note all by herself while the others are huddled in a group talking about the latest gossip. That one who likes to breathe in the smell of mud the moment it starts to rain while others complain about getting wet on their way home. The one whom her classmates know as Yong Soah and nothing more. All in all, she's bold, loud, reckless, uncaring, a bit difficult at times but also a total introvert, modest, passive, frank, mood-killer and a bit wacky around the edges.

Poker Face ~ Soah has a hard time expressing her emotions. Maybe that's why she has a blank face almost all the time. The problem is, she feels that if she were to open up her heart, everyone would know what she's thinking, what she's feeling and this exactly is what scares her. She feels vulnerable; and raw to the very core and this is exactly why she doesn't associate much with other people. It's not about creating an air of mystery. She doesn't give a damn about her image. She just finds solace in her own company, and that's all there is to it. This works as a double-edged sword, while it leaves her safe from others, it also renders her completely devoid of any social skills at all. If there's any way to make a conversation even awkward-er, just add Soah to the mix. You can actually hear the crickets chirp.
