I can't possibly study for the whole day and the whole year, can I? And since I have been using it as an excuse to get myself occupied off those unnecessary homesickness feelings, it was about time to find some entertainment in life. While making friends seems a tad bit difficult at the moment, I guess I should just explore my love for food a little deeper. :D

I just finished chopping up some vegetables and prepared my clam for boiling. An attempt today after watching my aunt doing this for a billion of times ever since I lived with her, I had a faint idea on what I was doing. But nope, I could not just go do things like how everybody does, I had to stubbornly make a twist out of it. That was the only entertainment I have about cooking! D: It was still worth doing, after all, it would give me that tiny pinch of adrenaline rush, worrying that the food might turn up nasty and that I would have to swallow the whole thing down with a constipated face on the already ugly face of mine.

I had always try my best NOT TO COOK. Probably because I always had my auntie who would be cooking delicious food for me, and also the fact that I would probably wreck a thing or two in the kitchen while I fidget my way through JUST TO GET THE MEAL DONE. My auntie is the expert, didn't even want me to be in the kitchen if she could. I GLADLY LISTENED, and stayed away from the kitchen... and only eating her godly made food that is being served. I never fail to ask : what's for lunch? or what's for dinner? And now? I HAVE TO ASK MYSELF THAT QUESTION E.V.E.R.Y.H.O.U.R! I feel her pain now. aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

It came to a point where I would rather do the dishes and find somebody to cook for me. Since most of the people whom I have talked to about cooking, would all complain about the cleaning up. What I was more concerned of was the taste of the food, more than the trouble to clean up after. I believe I have actually spoiled my taste buds that I am eating whatever bland food there is out there, JUST TO FILL MY TUMMY. I miss eating good food. Like seriously good food. :(

Speaking of food, I have only attempted to cook... 3 times since I got here. I have been here for almost a whole month now, and I have only cooked 3 times. Heroic isn't it? Not surprised how my tastebuds gone bland. :/
So, my first meal was me cooking Maggi noodles plus spaghetti sauce. Superb moment when I saw those bacons jumping around on the pan. Based on what I have heard all these time, flying OIL can burn... that freaked me out a little. HAHA. Turns out, the spaghetti sauce was a little too salty for the noodles. Lesson leart : USE THE FREGGIN PASTA! NOT MAGGI MEE!!!!!
session 2: Campbell soup plus frozen vege. It was a no-brainer really. Just heat up the pot to cook the soup and pop the frozen vege into the microwave. I could not have enough of BACON. This time I learnt not to put oil when cooking bacon. IT STOPPED JUMPING AROUND!!! *success* I ended up putting the vege and bacon into the soup. out of laziness. :D
session 3: attempt to boil ABC soup. Seemingly it is the easiest kind of chinese soup to boil. You get potato, tomato, carrot or any vege, really and pop them into the pot to boil. Not to forget some PORK or any other meat to go along with it. No, I did not put bacon in it. Twist to this is that, I will be putting some clams to be boiled along with later. :D

Let's see if that one works.

At least I don't feel so pressured when all I have to think of is studying for now. :D I CAN THINK ABOUT COOKING! Perfect time to start browsing through the cookbook my sis and Ben got for me birthday. Hehehehehehehehe.
Maybe I could start baking too. :O

But I would really love it if somebody would cook for me. :/
I miss my aunt's cooking. :(
