Which Extremity of the World Are You?

YOU ARE THE ALAKAI SWAMP ON MOUNT WAI'ALE'ALE, HAWAII

A stupendously rainy volcanic crater, you hold the dubious honour of being the wettest place on Earth, which may surprise some Scots. You receive 486 inches of precipitation a year, or forty and a half feet - the height of 6.89 typical Belgians. For comparison, that's over ten times the rainfall of New York, twelve times that of Glasgow and five hundred times that of Timbuktu. If you took a cube of water a third of a mile along each edge, you would then have how much water falls on the mountain every year. You would also have a fine spot to keep whales and shrimp, assuming, of course, as you would have this water in a suitable place from which to drop it mericlessly on a soggy yet unsuspecting part of Kauai, that they were flying whales. And shrimp.

Yellow yellow.. dirty fellow :P

Guess the movie...

The Game

Numbers and algebra, facts and figures,
aligned in formulas that give much fascination.
Link one to one and two plus two,
Life’s theories become just an equation.

Snooker and drinks, dateless and lonely,
At the bar a game I formed in my head.
Slowly and surely, with wit and cunning
I goaded the guys to hit on her friends instead.

Diligent and dedicated, loyal and true,
I devoted myself to the work that I do.
Caution and suspicion soon taught me to see,
a conspiracy at work around me and you.

Words and phrases, letters and newspapers,
Piece by piece the connections begin.
Day by day as time goes by
a dreaded fear grows stronger within.

Friends and family, lover and kin,
all but one I’ve left aside.
Codes and secrets, thoughts and doubts,
alone in Charles my friend did I confide.

Fast and bright, flashing and fleeting,
Shadows in the dark in every place I go.
Dangerous and daring, by night and in stealth,
I delivered to a lone house dossiers of the foe.

Restless and stressed, worried and worn,
Alicia sought to help me desist.
Sudden and shocking, without a warning,
Point blank I fainted, unable to resist.

Images and visions, dreams and apparitions,
These were the reality of what I’ve seen
Marcee and Charles, ageless and undying,
Diseased delusions were what they have been.

Trembling and weak, resolute and determined,
I fought to regain my life and stand.
Eventually and successfully, through a tough battle inside,
A Nobel Prize rewarded me at the end.

Gag!! Can't breathe!!

Woke up to a white morning... nope.. not snow. There's no snow in Singapore... only haze... and lots and lots of it. Felt so gagged by the haze that I could hardly breathe... and my cough threatened to come back once triggered by the haze.

Head felt as if I had a hangover ... cos I slept real late last night at 3.30 am... or was that this morning? And I realised how much there is I need to do today... basically to cover my deadlines as well as prepare stuff for class tonight. I haven't planned my events for the report in class tonight! Die!!

Looks like I got to scramble a bit and get started on some of that stuff... grrr....

For better or for worse...

KK is looking for a job again, cos the company that he was working in during the past month turns out to be real crappy and he couldn't work with them. In a way, guess this is better than being stuck at a crappy company and unable to get out. While I'm glad that this means he doesn't have to go KL so often for long periods of work, I'm also facing increasing pressure... basically to stretch my finances so that it covers me, my parents and him.



I've now beaten my mom's record in getting married late... she got married to my dad at the age of 27... now I already 29 +... cos I'm turning 30 this year. I don't know what happened to my "aims" to be married by 26 etc... guess those belong to the category called "fantasies of a younger age" now. Am I simply being practical or am i being resigned to fate? Not really sure these days but I do know that God has my life in His good hands....

Looking at circumstances now, getting settled down is a luxurious thought. First things first... both KK and I have to get into some sort of stable financial status. His career tends to be a little unstable cos of the industry he is in, and that means I need to finish my studies and get somewhere first... although i would still say yes if he even thought of settling down now...

so here I am... patiently waiting... for better or for worse...

I was right!!!

I was right!! This kittyn is a little eccentric and mad...

You Are 45% Normal (Somewhat Normal)

While some of your behavior is quite normal... Other things you do are downright strange You've got a little of your freak going on But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

How Normal Are You?

Idiots do exist...

Idiots do exist, whether we like it or not... and sometimes they make me laugh so hard I get stitches... kekeke

There was once I've accidentally bumped my car against another guy's car here at the workplace carpark. After examining the "damage" on his car, which is practically none, while I had a huge scratch on mine, he demanded I pay him back. Knowing it's my own careless fault anyway, i paid a reasonable amount even though i know he's not going to make any repairs cos there are none to be made. And two months later, he was driving a new car. The best part of it was, I knew the waiting period it took for that new car to arrive cos I went to check out the car showroom a couple weeks before that with KK, who was intending to change cars. Which meant that by the time I "bumped" his old car, it was already sold for scrapping and he was waiting for the new one. What cheek this idiot had to demand money from me and when I paid him, he even tried to "persuade" (in other words, con) a bigger amount from me, which i paid no heed to. Not every female driver is clueless about workshop prices you know....

And the funny part to his idiocy is that he's got this silly alarm on the car that goes off everytime someone so much as walk into his side mirror. I was laughing to myself the other day when I saw him searching high and low around his new car looking for a bump because the alarm had gone off earlier in the day when a guy walked past and brushed against his side mirror. He looked like such a paranoid idiot...kekeke I know it's evil of me but I'm wishing that more people will walk into his side mirrors so that he'll perpetually be worried about whether his precious new car got knocked... kekekeke...

Brand new week... where did the weekend go?

Started this morning busy after reading the emails and scrambling to catch up with everything... Suspect that this week is going to be another busy one...

Where did the weekend go?? Gone to sleep maybe... Slept a lot on saturday and sunday afternoons... not sure why I was so tired. Now come to think of it, I had wasted it somewhat... much rather spend the time doing something or simply going out with KK... since he'll be off to KL again tomorrow for another month... really pig of me...

Oh yes... Claira is back after half a year working as a stewardess for Qatar airlines... went to meet and chat with her at the NATAS travel fair on saturday and she looked like she's still enjoying the job... definitely looks as if she's much better off and stress-free in this job... hope that she'll do well in this line. Too bad the job doesn't allow her to spend more time in Singapore... else we could go out for coffee and catch up more...:)

Wearing my contacts today... haven't been wearing contacts for half a year and have quite forgotten how I looked without my glasses... kekeke

Yikes... phone's ringing off the hook again.... better get to work...

Pass the antibiotics please...

I still feel sick.... much of the cough has gone by now cos I've been taking cough syrup... but the nose and sinus area feels awful, stuck and I don't think I'm breathing very well... seems like a case where I really have to go to the doctor simply to get antibiotics... boring...

Stayed up late last night trying to do a bit more of my school project so that we have something to present tonight... but it was tough!! How do you fill a 24-hour programming schedule with content? There's simply too much time!! Grr... well at least I've shortlisted the programmes I can use... now if only I can slot them in the right places to get the highest viewership.... darned.. haven't read the text yet for advice on that... heh...

Gotta start work early today... rushing out a set of responses for a reporter... though no deadlines were given, I think I better get on it before the reporter throws the story idea away.... sigh...

Hazy mornings....

I hate hazy mornings... and today is one super-hazy morning. It's one of those mornings when I wake up and realise that I can't really breathe.... part of the problem is that I already have a bad sinus problem and my nose tells me when it is too hot, too cold, change in temperature and worse... when there is haze.

I woke up with a badly stuck nose... couldn't breathe much and now it seems slightly better in the aircon office. But I feel miserable. Already i had a bad cough that doesn't seem to go away and now with this nose problem... seems like a good time to visit the doctor.

Somehow I never liked visiting the doctor... much less take medication. But I would rather self-medicate than see the doctor... been self-medicating my cough and it seemed to be getting better when the haze hit this morning and made it a little worse... argh... sounding really wierd and awful when I speak... super nasal voice....

... and I still can't breathe very well...

oops... keke

Your Love Number is

5 You're very open minded, and you could see yourself in any number of interesting relationships. And being extremely independent, anyone you're with has to give you space. You approach new lovers like they are a subject, learning everything about them. But once you've "mastered" a new person, you often feel like exploring some one else!

What Is Your Love Number?

woo hoo!!!

Purple dusk will probably hate me for this... hahahhaa

You Are 27 Years Old

27 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Gunpowder fest...

I did something bad this morning... flared up at my mom. It wasn't intended but she just won't stop nagging me about buying cat food. Of course I know I need to buy them today and I was already trying to find ways to fit that into my schedule for today. And mornings are a bad time for naggings because I'm usually grouchy from not enough sleep. Not to mention that I had been pretty stressed the previous night with my school project and other homework. I was already trying to say too much and trying to psyche myself up in preparation for today... but she just wouldn't stop. When she launched into that age-old threat to throw away my cat (ever since he was 3 years old... now he's 7!) I reached my breaking point. Basically I told her to just shut up, finish her sweeping in the room and get out. Not to mention I threw my bath towel in an act of frustration and exasperation. Because I was simply too fed up.

I could have handled the situation calmly but I wasn't in a very calm state at that time. It's terrible to behave like that... particularly cos she's my mom...sigh...the whole thing gave me a bad mood to start my day... practically as though I swallowed gunpowder today....

hung up...

Sometimes I wonder how can a person get so hung up on their ex that even after 2 years of breaking up, they can still send messages to remind that person of themselves?? Don't they realise that they can become a nuisance?? especially if that person has already moved on to other relationships?

Piggy's dodo is a classic case... that is not just reminding. That is outright harrassment, cos it's abusive and rude... besides, what has dodo's issue and seeking closure with his wife got to do with piggy? Afterall, he was the one who snuck around and got the wife preggy behind piggy's back when they were still together. Piggy gave it up eventually and got on with her life! Now this stupid dodo wants her to return stuff that he gave her as PRESENTS and even the money they spent together on dates 2 years ago... for goodness sake. His son is already 1 year plus... get a life and get on with it!

Well... same goes for BL, KK's ex. They've already broken up for more than a year... and KK was the one who initiated it (that's what I found out) after he had started the relationship with me and sort of stabilised in it. Although he still saw her on and off because they belong to the same tennis kaki group, but there wasn't anything else going on. Even then, she kept msging him on and off with msgs like "I miss you very hard", "Been seeing you in my dreams" and things like "ms loon choon loves mr xiang xiang". I don't know whether to be angry or simply pity her... cos i know that he never acknowledged nor replied any of those messages. Besides, BL is no longer young (she's older than me).... though KK was her first bf, it's about time she get on with her life isn't it? Well... 28 March is coming and I can forsee she will send him another one of those msg cos this was the date when they first got together in 2003. It's not that KK didn't make it clear to her... but she just wants to hang on... i just wish that one day she'll wake up and hang up that idea.... sigh....

I hate this studying business...

Never thought I'll finally say that... I hate this business of having to study and take leave to prepare of exams. More than once it has kept me off handling the projects that I really want to do because the timing coincides with my exams... and worse... I've actually lost so much steam that I wasn't sure I can keep up with it much longer.

Dying to get this studying business over and done with... though my final "exam" is on 19 April, I still have that darned dissertation to get through. Hope it doesn't disrupt my work too much because I felt that it has already delayed my progress at work for 2 years.... terrible feeling...

Weekend was rather uneventful cos I slept most of the time away... even KK was surprised I slept for more than 10 hours each on Saturday and Sunday... guess I didn't realise how much sleep I've been losing over the long period of late nights etc. It's taking a toll on me I guess...

Now start of the work week and one of my projects get handed over to my colleague again cos it coincided with my exam period... I know I know.. someone has to do it... but I just don't like the feeling.... yesssss... I'm possessive over my projects... haha

Good morning and TGIF!!

Thank God it's Friday!! Though I may be pressed for time because that also means my deadlines are closer now... kekeke

But really relieved that today is Friday ... partly cos I've got Cell Group this evening and that means I'll get my spiritual feeding!! Yay!! and also because I think this week have been rather tiring and stressful... definitely looking forward to spend some time at home and rest... kekeke

Last night, was just chatting with some fellow colleagues downstairs and I can't help but notice that when people ask me how long I've been here, they seemed surprised that I've been working in this company for 4 years already. 4 years is not a long time.... and it's not even enough for gaining experience to jump to a next-level job... And when I look around, there are loads of people who have stayed with the same company for more than 5 years....

Is it a common trend these days to change jobs every 2-3 years?? I doubt so...

hmm.. not that great with IQ questions...

You Are Pretty Logical

(You got 63% of the questions right) You're a bit of a wizard when it comes to logic While you don't have perfect logic, you logic is pretty darn good Keep at it - you've got a lot of natural talent in this area!

How Logical Are You?

No big surprise there...

You Are 50% Left Brained, 50% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?

Now this is what I call "Torture"

You Will Die at Age 70

70 You're pretty average when it comes to how you live... And how you'll die as well.

What Age Will You Die?

I'm gonna die looking blue... hahaha

Sounds contradictory huh??

But I like this one better... kekeke

Your style says you're Preppy and Classic

Just because you're preppy doesn't mean pinks and greens are your favorites (though they just might be!). But your style does tell the world that you don't have to mess with fleeting fads and fly-by-night fashion. You usually go for what's classy, and you know that means you'll always look stylish no matter what's the trend of the day.You're the type of girl who's a true blue, and we bet you're the one friends go to when they need a good word of advice or a shoulder to cry on. And your style says the same thing — you're not about to follow the herd, you know just where you're headed. That never goes out of style. Now that's chic!

What does your style say about you?

What's My Style??

This is funny.... kekeke

Your style profile is Totally Trendy




Your fashion motto? To every season, turn, turn, turn. Whether it's summer's strappy sandals or fall's must-have overcoat, your wardrobe evolves with every new trend.Keeping up with the latest hemlines and heel heights can be a full-time job, but you seem to do it with ease. Must be because for you, fashion is all about fun. Chances are, your friends marvel at your up-to-the-minute look. And who can blame them? Your insatiable appetite for trend-spotting keeps everyone on their toes.

Swimming cat

Who says cats don't swim?? Or at least this cat does... either I'm swimming or my head is swimming. Lots to do at work and the after-lunch symptoms are kicking in... afterall, aren't cats supposed to just eat and sleep?

That's what my fat cat does all the time at home... and he chooses his spots too... nice, cozy, cramped corners.... either that of on top of my bags or notebook on my bed. What luxury he's enjoying.

Am so glad that one more has joined the world of blogging... Lazy Panda has just started her own blog... yay!! And she chose the same template as I did... goes to show how many great minds think alike huh??

*Yawn* the symptoms are really kicking in... better start doing some work before the eyes close and I drop off to zzzz-land....

Casino??

Saw on the news yesterday that the sad Tampines case was partly due to the man's gambling debts. As a result, not only did he jump, his wife and kids are dead as well. It sends such a poignant note of what harms gambling can do to people...

In the light of incidents like these and other unknown cases, the government is still thinking of going ahead with the casino? I seriously doubt the wisdom of that. True it will provide job opportunities and generate tourism dollars... but are the social harms worth the risk? And this is not a case where unknowing youngsters learn to gamble... this is a 40-year old man with family and kids!

I just pray that the casino doesn't come about. That is not the only way to generate tourism dollars and help the economy grow...sigh....

Getting Reconnected

Today I finally made the effort to get reconnected... to God. It's just so easy to get distracted with the nitty-gritty of everyday life e.g. work, home, studies... that spending a little time with God gets pushed to the back of the mind. And it feels good to get reconnected again, because I realised if I hadn't, one day I might even forget how to talk to Him at all.

Have been feeling really tired and burdened with all the nitty-gritty over the past few weeks and I realised that's because I've been trying to do everything on my own, by my own strength. Why hadn't I gotten reconnected earlier? Afterall, He is the strength and stamina that drives us, He is my energizer battery!

Really thank God for the invention of the Internet. It has made God even more accessible through things like online devotionals, online bible study tools etc. It didn't take a long time... just 5-10 mins before I start on my work... that is all.

It feels great to be reconnected.

Chocolates.... yummy

Hahaha... who would have thought...it is my favourite flavour afterall... :D

You are Dark Chocolate You live your life with intensity, always going full force. You push yourself (and others) to the limit... you want more than you can handle. An extreme person, you challenge and inspire the world! What Kind of Chocolate Are You? Take This Quiz :-)

Finding me

Another one of my past creations... a short but not-so-short story... kekeke

==================

I walked in with the rest and took a seat at the second row of the lecture theatre. I couldn't help the feeling of anxiety and anticipation within me -- it's a brand new beginning! It's the first day of school and today is my 19th birthday.

Having just moved into the hostel this morning, I didn't have time to check out my roommate and neighbours, but it seemed like a pretty amiable crowd. Just hope that they don't mind me playing my games late into the night.

I can't wait for lessons to start so that everyone can start introducing themselves, including that guy half a head taller than everyone in the room. Oh god, when was the last time I had a man. The last one wasn't even half a man. This one sure looks interesting.

"My name is Ramazan, from Germany," his guttural voice resonating in the lecture room when it was his turn to speak.

"Ramazan doesn’t sound like a German name" I responded.

With a cat-like speed that's contrary to his huge frame, he turned around and shot me a glance. Upon meeting my gaze, his face soften and offered an explanation "My parents migrated from Turkey to Germany when I was born."

No wonder he had such a thick German accent. His curly locks are framed on a nice set of cheekbones, with big brown deep set eyes.

Lecture has indeed become more interesting.

Baby stories

Just finished my lunch and it's amazing how much one can learn through talking to colleagues over lunch... nah.. not about work... but about babies!!

That's the thing in my department, where most of the women are married with newborn babies... lots of stories about the babies' growth and the kind of funny antics they get up to just to get the babies to sleep at night.

I used to think that taking care of babies is such an alien subject to me that I was actually intimidated... after listening to them , well not that it makes taking care of babies any easier... but it sort of helps me understand more about it. And it definitely makes me appreciate my mom more... thinking about the kinds of difficulties I could have given her when I was a baby... keke

Kittyn's Morbid Concoctions

Now that I have my own blog, where better to store my poetic concoctions? here of course... kekeke

The Black Cat’s Cauldron

A sprinkle of words,
An ounce of rhyme,
Toss it in a sauce of imagery
that’s vivid in your mind.

Pour in a bowl of feelings,
Especially those that make you cry,
Stir in a dose of depression
and the mix is ready to fry.

A generous pinch of sarcasm
and wit that will surprise
In The Black Cat’s Cauldron,
your morbid poems are the prize.

This cat's mad....

Indeed it's a little mad today... received a call early in the morning as I was driving to work and something told me that the boss of the company is not exactly in the "happy" mood... whatever.

Everyday I wake up to go to work and sometimes I really wonder what am I looking to achieve with this incessant, ceaseless routine... sort of sad when the conclusion tends to be "I have to eat, so I have to earn"... sigh...

anyway, a depressing Tuesday to begin with. But I guess what's good is I finally got persuaded by a very persuasive friend to start my own blog... so here goes... kekeke
