Intoxi'Kath'ing Whispers

     This evening I woke up feeling very down, confused and lost. All because of a dream.        I dreamt that I was someone else, not Kathleen as who I am now. My family consisted of people whom I do not know of in real life, yet in my dream I knew they were my family. I lived in a big house with a whole lot of other people who were family yet strangers.        One day, I was feeling very uneasy so before we went off to bed, I asked a few people to double check the security of the house we lived in as a precaution. I remembered clearly in my dream that I even pulled at the grille doors to make sure that they were all locked, padlock and grille itself. At the same time, my feeling of uneasiness was growing.        So I began to get some people in 'my family' to move to another section of the house to stay in, just for the night. (It was a super big house that was divided into two ...

Curiosity (dissected aka Kathleen style) Curiosity is actually a great advertising tool. Why? People are naturally curious. They want to know about the things that happen around them. It may be in economics, businesses, nature, people, science, technology. Anything and everything at all. This is actually how we have all the different kinds of people working in different kinds of fields. When people are curious, they will want to know about the things that they are naturally curious about. Curiosity comes into play in advertising. Can't remember when, but Hitz.fm once had an event that was not fully explained, which was to take place in the Curve. It was something about two of their DJs being 'punished' by the boss (not sure). People were so curious about it, comments were everywhere about what was actually going to happen. The event was quite talked about during that time. That is an advertisement. It is free too! The same goes for learning. You have to be curio...

Yesterday, my lecturer wanted volunteers for a voluntary assignment. Basically, he said anyone who has the interest to do it and can volunteer to do so. After that, he walked across the classroom and stood in front of me, looked at me and asked, "Would YOU like to do it?" Ehm... that's not voluntary...   I had a better workout session today, hahaha. Meaning I was more satisfied with my exercise this week as compared to last week because of some annoying gym-goers. Today, the gym was exceptionally full too. It is as if the frequent gym-goers were hibernating until the sweltering heat today woke them up. They came in droves!!! Or pairs rather... hahaha. A lady came over and asked me how to use an equipment, but I didn't know how to use it too. Another guy showed her in the end. Ooppss... Bertie Bott's every flavoured beans. (Just kidding) Colours are deceiving... Walk with me, jog with me and run with me. Always. I did some mini planting with the k...

“ People need to be encouraged. People need to be reminded of how wonderful they are. People need to be believed in—told that they are brave and smart and capable of accomplishing all the dreams they dream and more. Remind each other of this. ”   -  Stacey Jean Speer (via l-yps )  Exactly. Eeee..... so adorable.... *hearts in eyes* Hehehe. Doctor Who!!  I will try to look out for all of you. :)        Pictures of quotes which I could relate to and of course a wonderful picture of Matt Smith and a language pun.   I will be here. :) 

I find it odd that my kids are rarely scared of me even when my face is all serious and stoic. But when I am not smiling during classes or meetings, I get told to not be so serious. I am just not smiling!!! It doesn't mean I am being serious... If I start smiling to myself, it will most probably be because I am thinking of something funny and not paying attention to what is going on. I got told by my lecturer yesterday to not be so serious. Honestly, I was struggling to keep awake. My eyelids were drooping so I suppose in my attempt to keep awake I must have looked fierce and serious. What-evs. My kids never seem to see my serious side. Unless I start scolding... jeng jeng jeng. I am not a serious person ok. I just look it. Sigh. Should make more funny faces then. :/ I feel so lonely!! This trimester, I only get to meet my close unimates once a week, compared to when we used to see each other three times a week. We have all started to take up our specialisation...

Things little kids say. *heart melts* Hahaha. Today, during one of our lessons, one kid said something which caused another kid to laugh. But that kid's laughter was so funny, the whole class started to laugh including myself. I must have become very red cause my kids went, "Aunty Kathleen, you're so red." Out of a sudden, this kid went... "Aunty Kathleen, you look very cute when you wear glasses and when you laugh like that. " *shocked* Hahahaha. Oh my gosh, lol. His friend said, "Why you say aunty Kathleen cute and not aunty Kathleen pretty one...You should say aunty Kathleen pretty." *speechless* These are coming from 6 and 7 years old kids eh. Later on, I had a bit of backache so I had to bend down for a while. The same boy who said I was cute, told me how I could buy some back 'thing' (his word), then I can bend my back sideways and it won't hurt. Gahhh.... *hearts in eyes* So adorable... Yet terrorising at times.

My 'Merdeka' came one day late...hahaha. I am finally done with my exams. Yay! Yay! *does a little dance* Why is it that all my exams fall around public holidays....Sigh... Anyway, I cannot believe that it has been one year!!! One year of my masters studies... Hahah. I am halfway there.. How time flies...Keep it up Kathleen. But the truth is... At times, I can't wait for it to end. At times, I wonder why I took this step. At times, I wonder if it will be worth it in the end. All these feelings become stronger during the times when I suddenly feel overwhelmed by it all. Sometimes, I feel like an idiot for doing this. Sometimes, I envy the free time my friends seem to have. Sometimes, I wish I have never started studying. Yet... If I didn't take this step, I would not have met my current uni friends. I would not have learned about the basics of accounting, I would not have understood my own personality, I would not have enjoyed the laws in business. S...
