_________

The question is,
where do you find love?
When you do,
how do you tell if it's real?
If it's real,
do you give in to love?
Tell me, when love strikes, what would you do?
Run away? Or embrace it?

Good Ole' Perth

Here I am. Back in Perth. After 8 years. So much memories. So long ago. It is strange. I feel like, I'm home again.

KATkat - the almighty

Today, I got so bored I googled 'Katkat', the nickname I use on msn and guess what I found?

1. From wikipedia, a minor character in a comic called 'Nuklear Age'.

Katkat (from wikipedia)
"Don't tell me. Kat because he's a cat, and Kat because he's also a cat,"
A regular house cat that befriends Nuklear Man in the middle of a mission to save the city (and especially Angus) from the Crushtacean.



2. A racing team named after katkat!



3. A cuttlefish flavoured snack made in Malaysia, and it only costs RM0.20!



4. A laser/radar detector!



5. An On-line ladies fashion Boutique selling exclusive Bespoke clothing and accessories handmade in-house in Great Britain.




and...a gazillion of people with the same nickname! Dammit! These people really lack originality! copy cat! *bleah* stole my nickname! *ahem* I have to admit... I've got taste! People simply fall in love with K-A-T-k-a-t! *proud*

Now, imagine me as the house cat with super power that dressed in classy made-to-order fashion pieces, who loves cuttlefish flavoured snacks, and races car during her past time. Not to forget she owns a radar that detects lamers! So, lamers! Stay out of my blog! muahaha... I think I can conquer the world now! *evil laugh*

conversation with my soul

My laptop had a discussion with me lately. After which, I had a conversation with my soul in search for a solution to a very 'serious' problem.

*****
me: eh! you haven't been blogging for the quite awhile now.
my soul: *sigh* got nothing to blog about.
me: what do you mean got nothing to blog about? You can blog about the shape of the cloud, the growth of your toe nails, the amount of mosquitos you killed, yadda yadda yadda.
my soul: oh puh-leaseeee. Unlike you, I have integrity. I don't blog about crap and nonsense. Just leave me alone.
me: *wonder* how to? you are part of me, u fool!
my soul: *_________* damn it!

*****
Unlike her and her, I don't have anybody to have a conversation with. So, I talk to myself and my laptop. No. I'm not insane, I'm just crazy! *grin*

meiyang chang - a true indian idol

There are videos on Youtube that you will watch and forget about it. But this particular video really had me mesmerized and urged me to share it with you. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you - Meiyang Chang, an true 'Indian Idol'.

What impressed me most is not just his talent in singing. A third generation Chinese, borned and raised in India, not only is he articulate, he reads and writes well in local language. When the show host introduced him with this statement, "His surname is Chang, but his heart is Indian", the crowd applaud in recognition.

A dentist by profession, it did not deter his interest in singing. When he first appeared on 'Indian Idol', he looks just like an average Joe. But when he sings, the aura that glow around him is simply magical. His voice touched so many heart including mine even though I had no clue what the song is about.

He is the pride of us Chinese that survive in a foreign land. Chang, you made us proud!

idiot's guide to gaining popularity for a blog

After days of research done online, I have concluded that you need the following in your blog to gain popularity.

1. chic factor
Look. Everybody loves all things beautiful. If you are drop dead gorgeous, you score brownie point in getting noticed and gaining popularity, and this is irregardless of your writing skill. Better still, if you come with a beauty pageant title, like her . If not, you could beautify yourself by getting a plastic surgery, eg. nose job, like her. Hot blooded male will be flocking into your blog like hungry ants over dead cockroach.

Would you like to read her blog?
Or hers?


2. creativity & sense of humor
This, you either have it or you don't. Some people try hard to be funny, but no matter how hard they try, they are simply just NOT funny. Unlike him, who can make you roll on the floor laughing so hard you could get a heart attack!



3. camwhoring
This is crucial. Camwhoring is a must in the world of blogging. After all, everyone has a kaypoh nature (it means nosy according to Oxford 'Hokkien' Dictionary). They want to know how you look like, how your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/pet/underwear looks like, how your toilet looks like (No kidding! I noticed a lot of people like to camwhore in the toilet. Weird but true.), what you ate, and if possible, they would also want to see what your poo-poo looks like!

4. Photoshop(PS) skill
With PS, you could make yourself slimmer, taller, prettier, mascular and the list goes on and on. Call it a virtual surgery or a digital make up. Whatever it is, with PS, you could look as good as those models on billboards (you could even make your boobs/crotch looks like the models in the CK underwear ad, without having to sponge your boobs or place a banana in your underwear!). PS is like the new BOTOX, only cheaper! Make just about everyone looks hot in a blink of an eye.


Before & After

5. talent in photography or culinary
This way, you could do a travel blog or a food blog. Ah well, some being super-kiasu would research a lot before venturing into a new country/restaurant, so there are millions of people google-ing for information of such, like this and that.

Photos courtesy of a friend.

Looking at all the factors up there, now it's time I do a self evaluation. Chic factor - nil, creativity/sense of humor - tried too hard but failed, camwhoring - not good looking enough so can't be bothered, PS skill - don't even know how to touch up my pictures to make my skin glow and pimples and wrinkles to disappear, and last but not least, talent in photography or culinary - none, my biggest talent is sleeping, which will not help in gaining popularity for my blog.
So, me and my blog, we are doomed. *sob*sob*

Or perhaps, I could do this?

Maybe, just maybe......

new interpretation of friendship

the update trilogy

Okay. So, I've been passed the baton. I'm next in line, after clove and sleepiekoala , to write an update about my latest happening. Pardon me please as it is long overdue. Better be late than never, they said? hehe.

Let's get started. I haven't been working for almost 2 weeks now, after the completion of a project. Oh! life can be so beautiful without having to work. At work, I've been drowned with compliments and acknowledgement like "Well done, Kat!", "Excellent!", "Without Katherine, it would be a total nightmare!", yadda yadda yadda. That's a little too much of compliments, but I LOVE IT! So, for that, I guess I deserved to escape the world and hibernate at home for at least half a year.

Besides that, I have been busy blogging and soul-searching with my imaginary friend, Naima (No! moron! not 'nanny' in Cantonese. This is a name of Swedish origin, it means 'tranquility'). Naima does the difficult bit, like singing and dancing to amuse me, while I do the easy, simple bit like sleeping, eating and shitting. I'm also reading my bank statements (The figure keeps getting smaller and smaller), mortgage payment reminder (final notice to be exact. Does that mean they will tow my beloved car away?) and other people's mind.

Recent purchase include X-brand shampoo that has the tagline 'See! but don't touch?' on the bottle, Y-brand bodywash that is supposed to make you feel like a celebrity after a shower(Hrmmm...and I wonder how),Z-brand toothpaste, I figured if I need to brush my teeth everytime I wake up from sleep/nap/rest/daydreaming, I would need to brush my teeth at least 10 times a day. So, that would mean I'll need a hell lot of toothpaste! I'm so contented with my 'luxurious' shopping spree! (Note: can't afford fancy stuff like friend in US and friend in Melbourne)

I wish the weather in Malaysia would cool down faster, it's rainy season now but still, it's not cold enough to snow. Damn! Friends in the States and Melbourne are in warm winter jacket and I'm stucked in boring summer clothings, all year round! That sucks! There's no daylight saving in Malaysia and who cares about time difference anyway. I'm only awake when night falls so my biological clock works around US time zone! muahaha....

I think I'll never ever blog enough and since I don't need to work tomorrow, and the day after, and after, and after, which means I can wake up any time I want to. Yikes. Boring. So, tata for now. I shall be back!!!!

Oh wait! Who should I pass the baton to next? *look around* Nobody else lah! Durh!
