Intoxi'Kath'ing Whispers

" At this moment, there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world.   Some are running scared.   Some are coming home.   Some tell lies to make it through the day.   Others are just now facing the truth.   Some are evil men, at war with good.   Some are good, struggling with evil.   6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls.   And sometimes all you need is one. "  - Peyton Sawyer, One Tree Hill Season 3 Episode 1 Was blog hopping when I came across this little paragraph the blogger had posted. I never really watched the series but I like this 'poem'. Each sentence tells me a different story which I can relate to in my life. Anyway, happy halloween!!! Remember, Halloween is the only time you can dress up as scantily as you want without people calling you a skank or stuff. Just kidding.... Be good. :) (Don't do things I wouldn't do...)

   She woke up early today at 6 am. She had to hit snooze a few times before she finally sat up in bed, with her hair tousled and eyes that could barely open. It was hard getting out of bed. Her bed which was as warm as toast compared to the slightly chilly temperature as her feet touched the wooden parquet floor.    Groaning, she walked around her room in the dark, searching for something to tie up her hair in before heading into the darkly lit bathroom. 20 minutes later, she felt and looked slightly refreshed. Looking into her dressing mirror, she observed the darkening eye circles appearing under her eyes. Shrugging to herself, she put on her glasses and got ready to leave the house.    It was an early Saturday morning, with less cars on the roads at that time. The 30 minute drive was as enjoyable as could be as she cruised along the road without a care in the world. In her back seat was a bundle of chrysanthemum flowers, neatly wrapped and p...

I dislike statement t shirts. Especially when it is done in an extremely bad taste and fashion. Imagine seeing someone wearing a t shirt that says, "It's not easy being easy." -,-' I don't think it's cute or funny. Just bad taste. People have to bear in mind, that when they wear these kind of tops, they are indirectly sending out some sort of message to everyone who comes across them. Good or bad. Some are worse. There's a white shirt with words going something like this, "Don't like me? Well you can go and suck on this." with a finger pointing downwards. Obviously, it is not targeted at female wearers but guys. Still! If I don't like you kan, I would already kick you down there la... Suck my foot. I mean, my foot as in "sao pei" la. I am not asking anyone to suck my foot. Eeww... If you have foot fetish, go elsewhere. Ha! One of my sisters adores wearing these kind of shirts. Huh. There's one which I really don't app...

   I wanted to write about something else but I figured that it would be too morbid for some, so I decided not to. :) Anyway, yesterday was my late grandfather's first death anniversary. I won't say much cause I'll end up back on the morbid topic.    Nearly everyone knows what happened with Empire shopping gallery. The blast that made it inoperable, save for the hotel and SOHO, for a month of two. Dad blurted out this funny line, as we were commenting on the crowd in Subang parade. He was saying that when Empire reopens, they will come back with full force. "The Empire strikes back..!!" Imagine Empire's logo here on the poster...hahaha. The Shopping Malls Wars Saga Continues. (Urgh, what a mouthful...lol.) I am hoping Empire reopens fast. I have a few things on my mind which I am having trouble jotting it down. Thus, the lack of posts... Sigh. I actually noticed I have been less and less expressive. I keep getting more reserved and quiet. Anyway, I a...

You know, I have been stupidly naive all this while haven't I? "Why be so trusting Kathleen?" "Because I always think good of others." "But that is almost never true isn't it?" "Yea.....Sigh." I never realized this until Chian and SY commented one fine day. Their comment was that I will never think bad of others. That I will always give a reason for why certain people were behaving in a certain way. Like if so and so was being cold, they would say that the person is a snob. I would come in and say, that the person was just having a bad day or perhaps feeling shy. I didn't really believe it until it happened, right there and then I did exactly what they said without knowing it. As I examined my thoughts and behaviour, yes, I admit I have been doing it. I have been too trusting, too naive, always believing that others will never have any motives for doing what they were doing or behaving as how they were. How stupid ...

I had a slight injury the other day. Nothing too major. Fell down the stairs and hurt my butt. Reminded me of one episode in Grey's Anatomy where a cheerleader was hospitalized for "breaking her butt". Thank God I didn't fall face forward down the steps, I didn't roll down the steps like those you see in drama movies and thank God I didn't hit my backbone on the steps as well. I shall elaborate further on that later, now, I want to talk about Investor's Day! Went for iCapital's AGM the other day. Didn't really know what was going on. There were resolutions of who and who of what post, a seconder then a vote to put something into motion. We were given these yellow voting cards but I didn't use them as I had no idea what I was voting for. (If it's the upcoming GE, then I will know.) After that was over, the talks began. The stock market, the Euro crisis, US, China. For the first time in my life, I learned words like gross domestic product (...
