My Knight Piece

Woke up at 715 am today and the first word that came out of my mouth, was "Shit." (I was late.) Man, I have to watch what comes out of my mouth. Funny how my friends try to say nicer sounding bad words when I am around. Instead of bitch, they use evil woman. Hahaha. That's a different story. Today is another. Remember how I used a game of chess to relate to life and ourselves in a post? Well, I am making a move in MY game of chess now. A big move in fact. I am moving my knight piece instead of my pawns now. But truth be told, I am not sure how smart this move would be. Will LIFE's knight or castle or bishop piece take over my knight? I have fears that this move will be shooting myself in my own foot. That not only will my knight piece get taken away, but because of that step which I chose to take, other pieces on MY chessboard will suffer terribly as well and get eaten. Well, it's too late for me to turn back now. That step is alre

Shakespearean Drama Overload Keyword = drama O my sweet love, where hast thou headeth to? Taketh me along, leave not thou, thy love forlorn. Malaysian Slang Keyword = you Eh, where you going? Take me along la, don't leave me here alone leh. Queen's English Keyword = think British accents Oh and where are you off to? May I come along? I do not want to left here alone. *inspired by a comic strip* Doesn't it sound almost exactly like what the people would do in the situations above? Hahaha.

2012's Resolution

When the year 2012 first started, I had no idea what my resolutions were cause I never make any. But as days went on, I finally had an idea of what my resolutions were going to be. Yay! Actually, scratch that. My resolution. No 'S'. Not plural but singular. Hahaha. My resolution was, is and is to experience new activities, interests as much as possible. Once a month I thought. Half of 2012 is gone and I would say that it has been quite a fulfilling first half of the year. Joy! I made a lot of new acquaintances, friends. I went for a live comedy show at PJ Live Arts in Jaya One. I went for a live musical performance at Sunway Lagoon (finally...). I helped out at a kindergarten's sports day. I took the pic below, aren't they adorable?? I climbed Mount Kinabalu!!! And made it almost to the top. Hahah. Cert says I did. :P I made myself get out of my comfort zone a few times. Overboard I think, till I panicked. Tsk tsk. The second half o

Mount Kinabalu: Things to Get for Your Trip

 Well, hello! I am going to be a good samaritan and share with you MY advice on what and what not to pack if any of you out there are planning a trip to conquer Mount Kinabalu. 2012 seems to be the year.... hmm... Please don't be a blur sotong and procrastinator like me. I only started packing the weekend before I was due to fly. -.-'. That's why le. No. 1: Get a tracking pole , tongkat la in other words. you won't regret it. I certainly didn't though I didn't want to at first. You can rent one at the Kinabalu Park for RM 10 or buy one for RM 19.90. I bought mine at Tongs' Traveller Suite , Suria Sabah. (Psst... I can lend it to you for RM 10 too! Hahaha.) Oh, by the way, our tour guide said that Suria Sabah is like Suria KLCC. But I didn't see it. The mall was empty. Fine, it was empty at 11am. Suria KLCC would be teeming with life though. The Stick of Life... No. 2: All climbers would be telling you the same thing. Get Adida

Authorities? Huh!

Oh my gosh... I just saw the photo I got tagged in where our tour guide was carrying me down the Timpohon trail!! So embarrassing...!!! *hides face in palms* Anyway, let's forget about that. Hahaha. Folks, be prepared for a rant from me. If you don't want to spoil the perception you have of a "supposedly" sweet Kathleen, I advise you to scram. Now. Today, as I was coming back from work, a police car was cruising behind me. It went at a normal speed with lights flashing but no sirens, just like any ordinary car. We then reached a traffic light junction and coincidentally our side of the lights was red. So we stopped. And guess what people? The police sirens suddenly came on. What for? So that other cars will make way for the police car so that they did not have to wait for the lights to turn red! In other words, jumping queue! Why am I confident of what I say? The minute they passed the traffic light junction and turn right to where they wanted to go (po
