say NO to maggie mee!

it's Sunday!
my sister just went back to Muar (she stayed with me for a night) and i had no intention to go out under the scorching sun *the weather is awfully hot*, so i settled my lunch with Maggie.
it's been ages since i last had Maggie mee and i actually miss the taste of it. the urge of cooking Maggie drove me to the kitchen and i started boiling the water, opened my one-and-only packet of Maggie, threw the mee into the boiling water, added an egg and DONE!

i would not say the mee is extraordinary delicious or what, but I'm happy with it as it satisfied my desire (sound so wrong) of having Maggie. everything was fine after finishing my mee, but not after 4 hours.

guess what happened. i had a stomachache and after a few seconds, i was in the toilet.
YUP! diarrhoea! i got an attack of diarrhoea!
how great it is, huh?

now i remember why i have only one packet of Maggie in my bottom drawer. I'll get stomachache followed by diarrhoea whenever i eat Maggie.
there might be a question asking why do i still bother keeping one packet of Maggie, well, for 'emergency'. u see, i got hungry easily. what should i do if i woke up in the middle of the night, famished, needed food urgently, provided i didn't want to have biscuit? Maggie is the best way out~right?


my only conclusion after visiting the toilet 3 times is
NO MAGGIE UNTIL MY NEXT ADRENALINE OF HAVING MAGGIE!

that's all~

What a night~

for obvious reasons, everyone loves barbecue!
it's all about eating (food! chicken wings, sausages, cocktails, sweet corns, sweet potatoes n yes! marshmallow!) and having plenty of fun with friends!

last Tuesday night, PM 16 had a great time at Taylor's college's park.

it was a hectic and frantic day! we had our classes early in the morning, from 8.oo p.m. until 4.00 p.m.! well, not going to complain how miserable life can be when i slept at 1.00 ++ a.m. the night before and ended up having no time for even a 30-minutes nap. SOB. never mind, what i want from my classmates were big great smiles on their faces. =)

i was praying hard that it would not rain and my prayer was answered! the weather was really 'good'! it didn't rain! instead, the sun was highly hung on the sky, giving off the harmful UV rays, providing us the unbearable heat. it's sooooooo hot!!! my classmates and i had to walk under the blazing sun (with umbrella~ella ella e e e e under my umbrella..ela..ela..e e e e e e e *addicted to Rhianna's song*) for approximately 15 minutes. imagine that! *sweat!!!!*

-it's really warm and i think we should really treat ourselves a cup of mc flurry.-

forget about the radiating sun, we actually had no enough time to ready our food! we came out with the idea of having this barbecue on Monday, which is the day before the barbecue.
no time to marinate the chicken, no time to prepare the drinks and no time to waste!
fortunately, carrefour sells almost everything we need! cheers for carrefour!


pictures showing PM 16's ladies at the carrefour:

guess what, we didn't know how to pick fresh cucumbers and vonne had to call her mum to seek her advice. it was kinda embarrassing that 18-year-old girls don't know how to pick cucumbers. =p anyway, we're learning.

y cucumbers? science students, you should know, for health concern.

it's doesn't mean that we're calculative when we have calculator in our hands while doing our shopping. we just want to be wise consumers. OK?

-we found chicken wings! lots of them (of course)!-

-yi ying (the one wearing purple/blue shirt) telling us what we need.-

we wanted to buy marinated chicken's wings, BUT it's too expensive!

-we ended up buying the 'non-marinated' chicken's wings.-


after settling the food, four of us went back to the college by taxi, carrying our food while the rest of us had to walk all the way back to the college. it's been a while since i last did my exercise, so it wasn't that bad doing some 'walking'. *puff puff it's tiring*

-Jasmine, Alexis, Sherlynn and In Jin joyfully carrying the food to the to college. That's the spirit, girls!-

-yi ying and the boys were working on the fire.-

-they made it! yeah!-

-sweet corns, sausages, cocktails, sweet potatoes, lemon grass (i never knew that it can be used as a brush)-

-yummy.-

-we can never have barbecue without honey.-

-it's finger licking good ya, suet yan?-

-jae jin loves chicken wing, doesn't she?-

-i requested jae jin to stay whatever she was doing (eating the chicken wing) until i get enough pictures of her. muahaha..evil me~-

-note: jae jin had the same pose in every pic. =p-

-we enjoyed ourselves!-

-happy happy vonne, yi ying, kath and jul.-

-from left: shan, kath, jul and tee-ni.-

-kath with alexis, yen ping and sher lynn.-

-jul, kath, sook fui and jasmine in the picture. jasmine was busy eating junk food. sorry to disturb, jasmine.-

-got a really cute picture of wai hoe. he was jumping here and there and i was wondering what this guy was doing. well, he told me he's pulling his jeans. eat more, wai hoe!-
-the guys were trying to show the famous fan dance. a little too shy, boys.-

-looking good, guys.-

-apparently, they were hungry.-

-i never knew marshmallow tastes really good after grilling it.-

-gotcha! bon and tee-ni.-

-mee teck and whay chiat were happily and 'romantically' eating their chicken wings in the dark (forget bout the flash of the camera).-

-special thanks to yi ying for organising this barbecue. you have been a good class rep. mucks~-

ok, this is a really long post and I'm tired of uploading all the pictures. gonna get some sleep now! nitez~

*katherine dozing off*

life's sweet.

i got a camera from my darl carlyn! wee~~ a camera! it's a blessing to have an elder sister. hehe..

have not been going out with my sisters for a really long time. i miss those time, when there's just the three of us, my elder sister, my younger sister and me, had our shopping hour together, lying on the same bed, telling each others about our dreams, our relationship with *ahem ahem*, sharing our secrets, went out to have supper (not afraid of getting fatter when we were young.lol.) etc. etc. i told my elder sister bout this, and she just grabbed her car key and asked kai ying and i to hop into her vios. isn't she cool?

and yes! the three of us are finally hanging out together again! horay! katherine is happy!

we went to wetex parade, we bought new bags, we hunted for new shoes (chinese new year is coming soon, u know~), we bought waffle and shared it. gee~~i love using the word 'we'.

not forgetting our favourite food (or should i say my fav. food =p) >>>>cake!

my sister drove us to secret recipe and obviously, to have cakes!

yummy yummy!

we'll never have enough cakes. =p

yeah! the kang's sisters!

katherine on the left and carlyn on the right.

chipmunks!

kai ying and carlyn =)

-for attractive lips, speak words of kindness. for lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. for poise, walk with sisters, you will never walk alone.-
that's the promise i got from my sis. =)

that's all from kath today.

cardigan!

greetings~ *usual hail-fellow-well-met slap on the back and handshake*

back in college, back to reality and back to tonnes of homework. it's like the end of the world, BUT there will always be another way out!

buying new clothes is one of the ways i add a little spice to my college life (but i don't always spend on clothes, ok?). bored of going to college, attending all the lectures and rushing the homework everyday, i need to pamper myself a little after lots of hard days.

so...i bought myself a cardigan from clothesbucket.blogspot.com! (girls! check it out!)

great addition to the wardrobe!

and look at the buttons!! absolutely lovely!

there are always lots of reasons for girls to buy clothes. i'm heavenly happy and that's it.
happiness means the most!

horay! hail for cardigan! *i'm still on high after getting this cardigan*
be all sugar and spice in cardigan ;)

that's all from kath today~ bye!

-plan to take my nap but i ended up blogging n chatting with my sister =p sigh~i'm sleepy-

yeah! moodiness gone!

i got a soft toy from my sister! yahoo! love that pig very very much lo~

she always knows how to make me happy~ muacks, da jie!

got my 'fur-less' piggy a new friend! cheers!

say hi to my pinkie! it has an enormously big head and an extremely small body. cute!

it's furry! *thrilling* it's great that mummy allowed me to keep it (with terms and condition).

firstly, i'll have to take really good care of my nose, which means i have to follow the doctor's instruction (which i have been ignoring), that is to use nasal sprays everyday to prevent allergy.

sigh~ i will tell ya why i have not been a good patient, refusing to spray my nose everyday.

"It works so well that you tend to keep using it," says Dr. David Vernick, an ear, nose and throat specialist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. "You're used to breathing well with the spray, and when you stop it, you get congested. So you use it a little more frequently, yet the congestion doesn't clear up for long."
That's because after three or four days of continuous use, the sprays can cause the nasal linings to swell up again, even when the cold or attack of sinusitis or allergy that originally caused the problem has passed. If this pattern continues, a patient has a good chance of becoming trapped in a vicious cycle of overuse and dependence that can last for months or years.

i read the above article online. it scares the hell out of me! i wish i don't want to depend on sprays though i have to bear with chronic sinus trouble! sigh~

secondly, i have to make sure that it's dirt-free all the time. the pig is not allowed to be seen lying on the floor and bla.

thirdly, it's not allowed to sleep with me (which means i can only hug it when i'm awake. sweat!)

well, to keep the cute little pig, i will be a good gal and keep my promise.

DURIANS! yes, durians! daddy surprised us with the king of fruits after dinner (yea, a proper meal.) i dread the smell of durian (i think it has an 'off' odor), but i tried a little just now. erm..it's like eating custard. ^^!!
happy to be back in muar! and back at home!

*yawning* i'm tired and i need to sleep really badly. nitez~

exclusive thursday

it's a holiday! have been kinda tired for the first 2 days in college and i think we really do deserve this holiday. jul, vonne, yi ying and i had no intention to waste our precious holiday daydreaming in our rooms, so we went to sunway pyramid. well, i don't really feel like buying anything, i just want to have some fun hanging out with friends~

jul jul was buying tickets for a movie and we were busy taking pictures =p

jul jul's twin sister, jul jul's twin sister's boy, jul jul's eldest sister and jul jul's cousin were with us too =) [picture obove (from left); judy, err..jul jul's eldest sister (sorry i forgot her name), me and vonne.]

with vonne. (vonne, thanks for cheering me up.)

with yi ying. she said she needs to show her 'paw' and say 'miaow' while taking picture with kath. kath=cat?

yi ying posing in front of a poster. she's imitating one of the chipmunks in the poster.

i gonna watch this movie. those chipmunks are incredibly cute! kawaiiiii~

we had our lunch after a few hours of shopping. i didn't buy anything, like what i said, i'm out of the mood to buy clothes.

kath and vonne at vietnamese cruisine.

yi ying and jul jul sitting in front of me.

we're hungry!

this is what yi ying ordered. chicken chop rice i guess.

this is what jul jul ordered. can't recall what the name of the food.

this is what vonne ordered. lemongrass grilled chicken rice (i guess). i tasted a little of the sauce, cz it really smelt good. yummy! 2 thumbs for the sauce!

and this is what i ordered. grilled fish on banana leaf. not bad. finally i'm eating a proper meal. for the past few days, i have not been eating anything proper. i just had biscuits and fruits for lunch and dinner. and yes, i have been skipping my breakfast. it's not on purpose, i just don't have any appetite and don't feel hungry most of the time.

vonne, yi ying and i spilt with jul jul and her sisters+cousin+judy's boy after our lunch as the three of us wanted to go back earlier while they wanna catch a movie and continue shopping after that.

yi ying wanted to pierce her ears. vonne and i were like..yes! the 3 of us can buy and wear ear rings together after this! go for it, yi ying!

the Malay lady applied some ethychloride on yi ying's ears before she started piercing her ears. yi ying was asking so many questions that vonne and i nearly faint laughing like crazy women. can't blame her actually, she was nervous~

i had the idea of piercing another hole on my left ear after seeing yi ying getting her ears pierced, so i called my mum. sigh, mummy said 2 piercings is more than enough and she said i can save the money of buying extra ear rings for clothes. quite convincing huh? anyway, i will try asking again next time =p

pictures below are the christmas+new year present i received from yi ying, vonne and jul. just to share the joy with you guys. a bracelet from yi ying. i like the box! and i will tell u why.

the box has four different faces with different pictures. this is charlie, the trouble bear.

this is Campbell, the musician.

this is Felix, the crown.

and this is christopher, phoebe's brother. I don't know who is phoebe either. i love those words at the edge of the box: 'life can give you hundred reasons to cry'.

got a dooodolls from vonne! love it soooo much! (i have been dreaming of dooodolls!) this is cupido, a hopeless romantic who views the world with rose-tinted glasses. got some info about this cupido online, it says that 'cupido's mission in life is to spread the word of love to the world. he (oh! it's a male!) can even make two persons to fall in love with each other instantly, all with a single beat of his red heart. consider yourself warned!' bla..whatever~

got chocolate (my favourite~) from jul jul. will finish it though it will make me fat. muahaha..

i promised vonne and yi ying that i will start doing my revision when i finished this post. writing a blog is to get rid of my boredom and moodiness.

that's all from me today. gotta go. bye~
