i decided to make chicken mayo sandwich today.
so i took a trip down to the supermarket which i never realised was soooo big (at least for me).
the last time i made it, bibik bought all the ingredients for me.
today, i decided to do the shoppin myself. it was an experience.
i wanted to start cookin or at least makin sth edible so this was a pretty good start i thot. & the fact that i was cravin for chicken sandwich.
but it's not like i've never been to the supermarket before, u noe.
i usually juz hav company, or accompany someone like my mum...
on my own, findin things seem to be a lil difficult.
rows & rows of stuff.. 2 storeys at that. after a while, my head was spinnin cos i was desperately lookin for a jar of mayonaise.
so i went down to get the wet stuff at the 'pasar' corner.
chicken breast. check. salad. check. cherry tomatoes. yum. check. capsicum. check. yoghurt. double yum. check.
& i was stil goin round & round, this time at the lower level, findin a jar of mayo.
stil can't find it.
went to the upper level again. this time, i walked past the aisle s-l-o-w-l-y so i wouldn't miss it.
& i read the labels on top of the aisle.
seasoning, mayonaise, sauces. aaaah. found it.
i got all my ingredients & scampered home feelin excited.


the moment i opened the door, i headed to the kitchen. i was sooo freakin excited to make my chicken filling lar! i was about to unwrap the chicken wen bibik took it from my hands & washed it & boiled it for me.
hmm... i didn't noe u had to wash the chicken. then she added a tiny bit of salt. i wouldn't hav done that. so i picked up a few tips today.
so i washed the capsicum & started choppin away as best as i could.
which is not a masterpiece. i don't cut well, i noe that.
i don't noe how to handle the knife in the proper way i guess.
maklung came in & said i better start learnin how to cook since im no longer a child.
in my mind, im like.. errr... yar. if i can learn how to cut things ferz!!
so once the chicken is cooked, i shredded it & mixed everythin with a dash of pepper.
even that i had to ask bibik where the pepper was & how it looks like. & whether it was black pepper or white pepper to be used. cos i really dunno wat they're used for.
found out, black is used in cookin, & white is used for seasonin.
tip no 2.
but i stil can't differentiate them apart. so dun ask.


so all's ready to be eaten & it was yummy!! even tho there wasn't much cookin involved.
heh. gimme a break lar. it's my ferz time.
cos the previous time, errrm, i had help too. i can't cut / chop.


before i actually embark on any other cookin expedition, i guess i better learn how to cook rice.
cos i've no idea how. how many parts water & how many parts rice.
i hav absolutely no idea.
but i've to wake up early to learn to cook rice cos by the time i wake up these days, it's lunch & everythin is ready.
& i think i should take an educational trip to the wet mkt cos i've never been there.
i need to go with someone cos i wouldn't noe where to go to get wat.
but i dunno wen bibik is goin.


im feelin all xcited cos tomoro, im plannin to bake macaroni & cheese. yummeh!!
errr... i dunno how tho. i'll be searchin thru cook books tonyte i guess.
oh! but tomoro's mummie's birthday. so bakin.. out. maybe friday then.
oh & my mum can whip up a delicious, double droolicious pan of lasagne. from scratch. yes. i hate those instant ones. they taste like rubber...


i wanna cook my fav dish some day... sliced fish bee hoon.
but that is a task that is waaaay too advance for me.
anythin that involves cookin oil / fryin is a herculean task. i haven't mastered the art of puttin the oil into the pan without feelin afraid the oil would jump & scald me.
so some day... my dream will come true.
i juz hav to keep on believin & tryin...
but as for now, im contented with wat i've achieved.
yes.
