the chef, who's struggling with chinese.

[ahem..yes..the chinese ci2 yu3 shou3 ce4 is reduced to being my coaster...really..stay away!] look! i did lunch for me and my sis today. it was marvelous. i'm glad to announce that i've officially gotten over my fear of cooking nissin noodles and i'm looking for more challenging stuff. [hm...must i even excel in home econs? i guess i can't help it.]

another domestic achievement today was pancake making for afternoon tea. i succesfully gauged the ingredients cos there were no detailed instructions and i did all the pancakes! they were all really nice, except my sis said i appeared to be cooking in fog.

yes..maybe i need to work on the smoke bit...i think the pan was overdrying n overheating...i splashed water on it for fun, cos there was nothing else i could do, since i had already turned off the fire...then there were sizzling and cackling sounds.

how fun. i've yet to figure out the chemistry behind all these. but other than that...all went smoothly, and i gradually set a record time of 6 secs per pancake! [applause]..but i forgot to get a snapshot of the pancakes..so..another time.

One thing that i can't get over is..higher chinese..the mere thought of it makes me feel sick. gr..40% of chinese..good luck to me. im' not done with half the sec four words yet..how. i needa miracle.
