Intoxi'Kath'ing Whispers

It was as dark as night. Not a sound was heard, except the occasional crickets serenading the sleeping humans. She parked her car and got out of it quickly. Twice, she had heard of people being robbed right on that neighbourhood street. Carrying her handbag and laptop bag on one arm, she slammed the car driver's door using her right elbow and walked towards her rented apartment in tight, tense steps. A sudden gust of cold wind blew. Crumpled newspapers and aluminium tin cans rolled across the street in front of her. A dog howled somewhere in one of the backlanes. She felt chilled to the bone and quickened her footsteps. Suddenly, something caught her eye. There was a movement in front of her, hidden among the black shadows. She stopped dead track in her steps. Her heart began thumping in her ears. Trying to stay calm, she peered into the darkness, while reaching for her pepper spray in her handbag. The movement, as in sensing her presence, stopped moving too. A

Many hearts are hungry tonight.   Many trapped in darkness yearn for the light.   So many who are from home and many who are lost…   Help me to begin where I am.   Help me love the people near to my heart.   Love the world through me, untill I have touched them all.   Forgive me for I know not what I did.   And do.   -Edited-

I am going to shoot myself. FIFO, LIFO, Weighted average. How come I do not understand what I am reading? Matilah aku. Kena tembak depan pelajar-pelajar yang lain and pensyarah nanti. Those of us with no accounting background at all are struggling to cope with this subject. I can do this Kathleen. "It's elementary my dear girl." Urgh. Will await judgment day when we do our presentation this week. And bring back the scars of battle... If we ever make it out alive... Oh, by the way, have a look at the two world maps below. Can you spot the difference? Not the resolution or blurness of it, please.  Mercator Projection Hobo-Dyer Projection Hint: Check out the North America and Africa continent. Apparently, there were some politics going on regarding the map that was used. That it did not represent the true size of certain continents. As you can observe from both maps, the gridlines are there as a marker for size. In

Too much free time on your hands? Watch this documentary to learn something about the financial world, IF, you are already not aware of it. It's called, "Inside Job". Movie takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes, but definitely a film worth your time. Main page: http://www.sonyclassics.com/insidejob/ Video site: http://vimeo.com/27292661 It could be happening right in your own country too. You never know.

Hello.... Yes yes, I know I have been missing for a while. I am alive and well, in case you were wondering. I just had to rethink some direction in my life. You know what? I do not know how to study! I have forgotten how to do it. Today, as I sat at my desk to read up on my coming midterm, mom came over to see how I was doing. I said, "Eh ma, I don't know how to study la.... How?" She laughed... Hai ya... The minute I sit and stare at my notes, my mind goes blank. I took chicken essence before I started. I end up sleeping on the sofa two hours later. Gah! No coffee. I become very jittery until my grip on the pen becomes unstable. This cannot do Kathleen! I don't know how people can do it. I don't know if I can do it. I hope I can do it. I better be able to do it. I want to do well in this paper cause it was one of my strengths during Bachelor's. And by the way, I dislike e-book. Nothing compares to the good old paper books where we c

Dear God,   Thank You for the weekend that I had. It was awesome. Thank You for teaching me so many things today.   Thank You for the two customers who made my day. One wants to buy me a drink if he comes to KL, the other said he liked my style and wants to look for me for more guidance for his nutrition intake. I never expected anything. I was just really being myself, on the phone and in the store. I wasn't trying to impress anyone at all. Yet, I must have, in a way. :D   Thank You for helping A with his addiction. I didn't realise that he really took my advice to live a better life, to stop his constant battle with a certain issue. He thanked me for listening today. That was all I did. I just listened.   Dear God,   Thank You for making me see that I am perfect in a way too. I am not hot neither am I pretty like a model. But I AM perfect.   I have two legs that can walk, run or even squat down next to a child to see what he/she is doing. I

"I'm hungry." These two words are frequently becoming etched into my daily vocabulary. No idea how, but I lost weight, unconsciously. Sigh. My eating habits are bad. Lunch is at 3pm. 4pm sometimes even. Dinner? Hahaha  I end up taking it at 10.30 to 11.00 at night after class, when I get back home. And it's not a full course meal. Just some soup or even a protein shake. In between classes, I do try to grab a healthy bite. But, it's a uni. How healthy can they get? Fried mee, curry puffs, the likes. Chocolates.... hahaha. I am really trying to have healthier eating habits especially since I will be juggling a lot of stuff at one go. I cannot afford to not eat well and become sick. I cannot afford to let my mom worry about me cause there are so many things happening in the family as well. I have a Snickers bar  in my handbag which I carry along for emergency purposes. Hahaha. Hungry? Grab a bite. Have a Snickers. (Sth like that.)   Mouth-wate

Wake me up... when September ends. -Green day- Wake up!!! It's October now. And to start off this month, let me begin with a question. "What is the biggest lie ever created or invented in the whole world?" Think of your own answer first before seeing the one that I have. Don't cheat. I asked this question to a few people and I got interesting ones as well. One was, "I have read all the terms and conditions..." Hahahaha. I so get this. Seriously, how many of us actually take the time to read all terms before checking the box and pressing submit? Maybe some of you do, I don't. Guilty as charged. The other was, "Lol." Hahahahahahaha. It depends on each user. I'm sure some of us are really laughing out loud when they use lol. I do too. But I prefer to do this : hahahahahaha. Cause lol is not enough for me to express my crazy laughter at something hilarious. Have you ever wondered what your expression is like when you use lol? D
