Day 7 of 30 Day Blog Journal - A Photo that Makes Me Happy

Image
Well, hello sexy...! Look at who has decided to dig up her old abandoned projects and continue writing about them? Me lo... siapa lagi? A photo that makes me happy... I have A LOT of photos that make me happy. Cause when you look at those photos and remember the events that lead to those photos being taken, it's funny! But anyway, here is a photo that made me burst out in laughter and therefore making me feel happy. Justifiable? Super nice warning. Talk about creativity. Let's say you have colleagues who like to roll around the office on their chairs with wheels and it annoys you. At times, you feel like kicking them or just tipping their chair over so they get up on their own two feet. How bout this notice on the chairs? "PLEASE BE SAFE. Do not roll around on your office chairs. If you fall, the chair could lose its only leg and its future as well. You don't want to do that do you? Thank You." Muahahaha. How's that? Lol. It's still a...

Compassion Walk 2013

Image
What do: a cobbler from Sandakan living in KL for 17 years, a beggar with a broken right hand, a Bangladeshi foreigner working for a construction company, an uncle well in his 70+ years but single and an enforcement officer working on a Saturday have in common? Well, they were the people whom I met during my Compassion walk 2013. :) We were supposed to walk around KL city, approach people, ask them questions, give out food and water. Personally, I found it very hard to approach them, talk to them and give them food, if they wanted to take of course. I couldn't do it!!! I got scared. *wails* That is why I cannot do outdoor sales (I'm sorry!), me no like approaching strangers. Face not thick enough. I have of course, in desperate moments, approached people when I really needed help. Anyway, thank goodness J, P and A took that step. I followed. They were bolder, hahaha and more streetwise. I was given a bottle of water to give to someone random but I didn't se...

Don't Sweat It

Image
Oh my golly gee whiz... I have so many things on my mind which I want to write about but my fingers cannot keep up with my thoughts. Now now, let's see. Ah, yes. I scolded my baby niece for the first time. Hahaha. She's a few months old but she can learn to differentiate a scolding tone and an endearment tone. It was more of a loud "Eh" while looking sternly (as sternly as I could) at her. Cause she was throwing tantrums and gave this sharp ear-piercing scream while I was carrying her. She stopped fussing... hahaha. And who says Kathleen cannot scold a baby? :P I am trying to learn about myself again. Don't we all? Mom says I'm crazy at times. Why? Cause I sweat the small stuff, and when it comes to the big stuff, I'm as cool as a cucumber. Where got?? What she says: - I was very nervous the night before my registration at UPM as a student. I didn't sleep the whole night. (small stuff) - I travelled on my own in Bangkok, Thailand, a...

Helloooooooo!!!! Tired? Are you looking for something to cheer up the day? *big wide grin* Well, if I may, give me about two minutes of your time. Free your mind from worries for a while... And....... Laugh!!! (Of course, you have to play the video below first silly.) Hahahaha. If you don't know, this is an old Scout's song. I don't know why they would sing this song or who came up with it. Makes no sense, at all. But putting that aside, it's quite silly and cheery! Lol. Hey! Maybe the Oompa-Loompas from Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory composed this....Hahaha.

Happy Valentine's Day

Oooh....!! It's that time of the year again, where LOVE is in the air. :D And no, it's not the scene where a girl plucks petals off a flower one by one, while saying these words, "Love me. Love me not. Love me. Love me not." Lol. Ah, love... such a wonderful feeling yet such a confusing thing at times. Don't you think? So, what IS this little thing called love? Let see what some famous people have to say about this four letter word, aye? Saint Thomas Aquinas says, "Love is willing the good of another, without expecting anything in return." Mother Teresa has this to say, "If you judge people, you have no time to love them." Neil Gaiman (Author of The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones ) writes, "Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.” (Kath: Urgh....) Old mr. William Shakespe...

CNY 2013 Eve

Image
Today, I spent 15 minutes sitting outside on the porch of my house. Sounds of chatter and laughter come in waves from the inside of my house, reaching my ears. I sat cross-legged on the warm clean tiles, behind my mother's car. Just a moment of quietness, a moment for myself. I was thinking to myself, "Where have all the beautiful stars gone to?" And then, in the midst of the clouds, I saw it. I felt so, so happy. Because, a few seconds before that, I looked up and saw nothing. Just bleakness, just the dark sky night. "God, if you can hear me, I just want to see some stars. Three in the least?" And then like magic, I saw one, two, three AND  four stars twinkling so beautifully up in the midnight sky. I was feeling very down as I sat outside there. I felt like a fake at times, having to smile when all I want to do is just be alone for a while. But seeing those stars, made me realize that someone IS watching over me. And HE has proven to ...

Booby Soup

Image
In case you were wondering, does Kathleen mean 'booby trap'? The answer is no and you'll know why soon enough. :) Booby soup. I'm sure us girls, as we hit puberty and continued growing from the awkward twelves through our teenage years and now on to our 20s, this lamentation would have popped up. "I wish I had bigger boobs." "Why so small one?" "Fei Kei Cheong." Then you would have HEARD of people giving you all sorts of so-called advice to enhance the size of your breasts... Massage la... (-.-') Drink papaya milk la... (-.-') Silicone job la... (Really?) And so on.... Well, ladies. I have something for you to try. Papaya soup. THE papaya soup. The elixir of our assets. Ha. Hahaha. Ok, it's not really a breast enhancing soup. Not that I notice any changes yet anyway. :P But. But, it increases the amount of milk produced by a breast-feeding mother. Yes, it does. That's the whole purpose of the soup....

Wasabi Danger

Do you like wasabi??? Honestly? I like spicy food but wasabi takes that spiciness to a whole new level. Ok, some people say that wasabi cannot be categorized as 'spicy'. Fine. *wrinkles nose* I rarely take wasabi when I dine at Japanese restaurants or when I consume anything Japanese-y. Totes avoidance. Hahaha. But I decided to take some with my brunch today. Yea, sushi for brunch. I forgot the one lesson in life. Everything in a small step. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I ate my sushi with a big dollop of wasabi paste. And oh my gosh.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ow ow ow ow... I started crying! Ahh!!! The pain the pain, the pain in my head. And my nose. It's like I got punched! I was holding my head and tearing. Oh, how undignified.... Ow... *sniff* Urgh..... Thank goodness I was in the shop when I was eating it. Nobody to witness it but me and the protein tubs. Hahaha. :D On a positive note, it clears the airway so your nose is free to breathe again. L...

2 Legs and 7 Pimples

Hehehe. Can I be a bit narcissistic? :P Really? Thanks! Hahaha. Well... I'm 27 now. Getting scarily closer to big old 3-0. Huh. Lol. Strawberry Garden cake. Hahah. RT Pastry house. Can I say that I am scared??? I am scared because I have no stable job now. My career has come to a halt. No stable job means no steady income. But I still have a lot and a lot of expenses. Bleah. I have my studies... :D That's one thing I'm holding on to. After much thought, I have decided to venture into the education field. I want to teach and reach out to others. I want to inspire people, like how some of my lecturers did the same for me. This, is what I want to do. I have applied for posts to teach, tutor or lecture. One fear is that I don't have the qualifications. But I am going to try anyway. Just, try. I can work from the bottom to the top. Kindy, perhaps? Adorable little kids. St. Thomas More Church, Subang Jaya. Whatever it is, I am thankful for what I...
