Intoxi'Kath'ing Whispers

Look!!! Puppies. Running. Animated puppies. So dog. Much running. Very cartoon. Wow. Being doge... hahahaha. Suddenly I'm listening to The Kitchen Musical videos again on YouTube. Such miss... :) Progress of project report: - Literature matrix settled for now. Till I add in more articles. - So have to get my theoretical framework done...soon... Can I say that the dog ate my homework? >.<' I think I find it hard to write something because I have to. Writing is great when I have inspiration, ideas, ingenuity. But writing for academic purposes is cramping my style yo. Sigh... You can do it!

Sorry been missing quite a while. Here's what has been happening! Exams are finally over and I am officially done with five trimesters of my studies... Whooppee!! Now, I only have one more trimester to go. You can do it Kathleen.Go kick some arse. Here's what some of us did to celebrate the end of exams. Crazy spontaneous trip. Genting's cool glow in the dark bowling alley We went up to Genting for a while. "A while" as in we left at 4pm sth and came down at 8pm sth... The shortest Genting trip ever in my life. I want to stay the night next time please. :) We got lost... hahahaha had to make a u turn near Taman Melati and get back on the proper track. The other car reached first and had to wait again for us as we could not find the parking entrance into One World hotel. The renovation up there is a mess! Well, we basically just hanged out in the casino. Some of them wanted to play, finance people ma, the rest of us just walked around, took ...

The two aunties in our uni's photostat shop were gossiping about me. -.-' Really... bukan perasan ni tahu? Cause one of the aunties asked me today. She said the other lady was wondering if I was Chinese or Sabahan.She said I should be Chinese due to the way I speak Malay which is very different than that in East Malaysia.(I've been there, it's true.) She guessed right and they shared this story with me today. I wanted to laugh, this is really funny. First time I'm put as a Sabahan. Lol!! And from aunties in the photostat shop of all places... ********************************************************************************* Today as well, I earned my first RM 20 freelancing. Heh heh heh. My very first. Guess what it's for? Proofreading and editing research proposals. Wahahaha. I never believed that I could earn money from doing this. I've thought about it but was never really given the opportunity. So now here I am... trying my hand at this. ...

I should probably be sleeping now but certain things that happened today actually prompted me to think about a few things... Hahaha. One of kids told me today. "Aunty Kathleen you're so cute." Hahahah. 5 years old, boy. Why couldn't he be a guy who's 5 years older than me? Hahaha just kidding. I took over a class today which I was teaching in last year. It is now taken over by another colleague. One of the girls from this class said, "I miss you Aunty Kathleen." Awww.... don't do that to me. Please. You know, I always wondered how I survived my days in primary school. In a Chinese medium primary school at that. I will always remember this one incident which happened in Standard 4. I think we were doing multiplications with 2 digit numbers and above. There was one exercise which I did badly and where I got punished by my maths teacher. She pulled my ears...-.-' The problem with that was, I had no idea what I did wrong in my sum. She didn't...

Why is it that everytime I sit to prepare and study for my exams, little tiny things become interesting distractions??? Like the box of siew pao on the table. I find the cover and illustration on it nice and very colour coordinating. As if I have never seen a box of siew pao before... Or the cup of tea right next to me. I must have a sip from it now and at the same time try to read tea leaves and predict my future. As if I don't drink tea on a regular basis. Even the empty used plate catches my eye. I just delight in observing how cheese and crumbs stick together. My, you could even make tiny crumb words. As if I don't play with my food...oops. Everything and anything is good enough to tear my attention away from my books. Why?? Why are you doing this to me??? Gaaahhh....!!!!

    Beaver's dam. This is so me at the moment... Drowning again and again and again.

Upper body is currently aching from the pulling and balancing on top of water. Who knew that water games could be that strenuous? Got heat stroked... feeling hot with a runny nose to boot. This is getting to me. Stop being sick please...   I want to whine today. My group mates are too laidback... they never seem to have any input into our group work. The ones who are discussing are just the two or three of us. There is no teamwork and no group leader. I for one, am not going to be the group leader. Why should I stress myself up? Yes, I want to be selfish and think of myself now. I don't want to think of everyone all the time! I am tired of being a mediator. Thank goodness I will only be with them for this trimester. Then, bye bye! Hasta la vista!   I don't feel like going to camp. I want my weekend to catch up on studies. Silly annoying camp... I don't want to crawl in mud, cross leech-infested rivers and eat fly-infested food. I don't want I don't want I...

Ok I am going to rant. Because I am tired, sleepy and I am a bit annoyed at what is going on... Did you just indirectly backstab me? I very well knew that I included everyone in the email loop for our assignment. But when you compiled, you only sent it to me and one other person. Why? Next thing I know, I open my email and read about another member's effort at compiling questions and that he was not informed about the compilation. And, that he is upset commenting about the hush-hush going on. Who wouldn't be? But then, you replied him through email saying that I am following up with the other team regarding this. It seems to say that I decided on the hush-hush that's going on. Like what? -.- Huh... welcome to the real world.

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...

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...

Was going to go with the title March Week 2 Updates for this post (so boring * in a whiny tone*), but I came up with FDT! Hahaha. When to know that you have been putting on the pounds.... Answer: When a 3-4 year-old boy comes up to you, literally pokes you in your flabby tummy and say to you, "Stomach." Innocently, while giggling. -.-' True story, bro. He was so adorable though. Was very tensed up for my OM midterm. Crammed and studied as much as I could. Strained my neck after the test. Couldn't look down to my left. Tsk! Feeling a bit drained. Work is pretty dynamic. You can plan and plan to do this and that, but when it comes, things almost always never go as planned. You have so many different kinds of personalities to handle. You have to learn to cater to different kinds of needs. You have to know the different approaches in dealing with a situation. I am still learning. I hope to learn as much as possible and as fast as I can. Thank goodn...

The month of March started off quite hectically for me. First week itself and I am feeling very drained already. Perhaps I am trying to adapt to so many things at once. New environment, new people, new processes. Hopefully as I get more used to doing these things, I'll get better at it too. March is also full of assignment datelines and midterm tests as well! I have thought about it and I may decide to drop one subject the next semester. Meaning I'll be concentrating on two subjects and have my graduation date postponed. Sigh. I will miss my classmates! Especially this semester as we get to know one another better. SM, YKh and I went to the Mines yesterday for our lunch after one of our replacement classes. After which we had our discussion for FM's assignment. I hate calculations.... :'( Thank goodness, we managed to settle 5 questions out of 7. Almost there! However, I was pleasantly surprised yesterday. We left two questions for our group member to do sin...

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...

She slammed her notes down in frustration. “ Dang it! I can’t study! Argh !” She said out loud, while burying her head into her hands. “ Phyto phyto phyto!! Why are you such a pain in my butt and my neck ?” Muttering to herself as she went into the kitchen to look for more snacks to snack on. Nope, she was not hungry. Just stressed. And being stressed does these kinds of things to her. Sleeping and eating, both are forms of escapism for her. To escape from her studies. And that is why, after every bout of exam fever, she gains a few pounds, loses it over the semester and gains it back when exam comes again. But thankfully, she could understand a bit of this subject, though it was still too little in her honest, humble opinion. “ M-o-m! Why isn’t there anything to eat in this house ah? So poor meh ?” Sigh. And the refrigerator door is slammed closed again. “ You eat us poor lo .” Her mom replies. “ Aiya… . ” She goes to the larder this time round and opens it up. Boxes of IKO biscuits a...
