Food. Can't live without it. Love livin wit it (",)
Before I got to Perth, I'd never cooked a meal for myself. Ever. Well maybe an occassional breakfast or so, but it was never a proper one. At home my mom, my dad & my sis - all three cooked. So why the heck did I need to? Someone's gotta do the eatin rite??
But my 1st day here at uni, I was absolutely blank. I had simply no idea what to cook. Well I did have to go and buy some stuff first, which again I thought would be a simple task, cuz i'd occassionally tag along wit mum bak home wen she did her shoppin....But it wasn't at all wat I expected it to be. No mum to clarify if this is the right stuff to buy or not. Anyhow, once I got thru that, I got bak home and set my self up to cook some food. My first dish, Day 1 - Boiled carrots and capsicum with instant noodles. Day 2 - Boiled carrots and capsicum with instant noodles. Day 3 - Boiled carrots and capsicum with instant noodles.....you get the picture rite?!?!?
But as days started passin by, I found myslelf eating food with some taste in it!! One of my flatmates is an excellent cook, and she'd make sure to call me whenever she did her cookin. Unfortunately she couldn't explain anything to me in words cuz she's Chinese, and English is really not her stong point. Anyhow, I'd try my hand at cookin once she was done, and things did start to get better. There were some ups and down's, like the time when I didnt cook the food throughly, and most of the stuff was still raw. End result? The toilet was home for 2 days!!!
Now its been a month since I've left home, and last night I probably cooked the best dinner ever! I can't giva a name to what I made, cuz it was a sorta self creation, and I really haven't got enuf creativity in me to sit and name dishes. But anyhow, the point is - I'm actually enjoyin cookin!! And the satisfation you get when you taste something good, and you know that its 'you' whu's made it...Aahhh!!!!
So to all my friendz bak home - Next time I'm there, dinner's on me...... (",)
