The Art of Cooking

One week has passed. Finally today i managed to cook a proper meal for myself. I've just realised that after the exam, i stopped cooking.FYI baking is not being counted in this case. And guess how many time have i eaten rice for the past 1 week? Only twice. And the week before pun only twice. Wow, menakjubkan!!!WHY? Because i'm known as the typical malay girl yang memang makan nasi for dinner. Atleast 5 out of 7 days. And i can do full-7 days ok. ngehehe ;)

While i was cooking my mee goreng just now, i cant help from feeling proud of my progress. FYI i dont know how to cook before i came here. Err bukan lah tak reti langsung but the only thing yang i really know how to cook would be either ayam masak merah or lasagna. Only these two meals. So i guess i belong to the perempuan-takley-buat-bini-sbb-tak-reti-masak!!! hahaha....so what if i tak reti? Atleast i'm willing to learn. And willing to try. My first attempt might not be as nice as those yang giler terrer masak but i'll learn from my mistake and try to make it better in my second attempt. I'll learn as i go along; that's what i think.

But i guess once you're being labelled, it'll stick on your forehead like forever! One of my friends who came to stay with me long time ago asked me to cook for her. And while i was preparing to cook she said the magic word that really stopped me from cooking. "You reti ke masak ni?" Ouuchh!!That hurts. Lebih menyakitkan hati sebab she gave me this sarcastic smile. So i told her, "Yeah, i dont cook. Why dont you cook instead?". Shisshh some people are simply too proud of themselves. Tak tahan please???? Since that incident, i never cook for anybody. You have to be somebody for me to cook for you. Like taj said, "I only cook for those who dont judge me."

I dont understand how people can tell which is wrong and which is right while cooking. Dont you guys think that cooking is a very subjective matter? There are many ways of cooking lasagna for example, but in the end you will still produce the same end product but maybe with slightly different taste. Excuse me but i dont think anybody layak to cakap someone's cooking as tak sedap. Well hell yeah the taste is different as the one that your mother cooked but it's still edible right? So why should you complain after all the efforts put by the cook? Only proud people do that!!! You think you sooo good ar?!!! Hmmphhh!!!! *bluek*

If people dont give chance to the newcomers of the cooking world, then they will never have the guts to cook for others. Coz memang dah agak dah, mesti ade je komen2 yang tak sedap telinga mendengar :( People said that we have to be open with others critics in order to improve ourselves but i say, it depends on how the people criticise you. Riiiteeeee? Kaaannnnnnn?? Ohwell, whatever. I've been thinking about this thing sejak berkurun lamanya...since the cooking session time diamond's fundraising activity and it reached the climax when farhad and abu claimed that i dont know how to cook. Yeah, i dont cook. Not for you guys, thats for sure!I dont need other people puji my cooking as long as i, myself know that i can cook now :) Atleast my flatmates know! YinHui thought i cooked since back in Malaysia. Quote Yilun,"Your cooking is getting better and better everyday." Thank you!
