My dinner

Today is my turn to cook dinner and I was feeling quite nervous about it since this is my first time cooking dinner and I want to make a good dinner that everyone enjoyed. Since Meat Nuggets with sauce is the only dish I vaguely know how to cook, I decided to cook that. Imagine my panic yesterday when I found out that there isn't any minced pork for sale at Coles yesterday. I called my mom using my Australian number twice and I was quite worried about the fact that in the end I had to settle for minced chicken instead of minced pork.

Since today we went to watch Batman at South Bank with Chong, we had dinner early. So, I started cooking at about 5.00 PM. Since this was the first time being in the kitchen and having to cook for so many people, Jeen helped me out. I really thought that something bad is going to happen like maybe having a burnt dinner or like my cousin say, burning the whole house down and stuff like that.

But in the end it just turned out quite good. Not as good as mom's but still good, according to the others. After cooking that Meat Nuggets with Sauce, I then cooked some vegetables. When I finished cooking, I then realized that I had forgotten to cook rice!! Although I was reminded by Jeen. Sigh, so all of us just sat around the table, waiting endlessly for the rice to cook.

Hoho! Imagine my surprise when everyone started telling me it smells nice and even taste nice too!! I thought that I cooked a little too much nuggets, but nontheless, the pot was polished clean by the girls. The even requested that I cook the same dish as next week!! Yay!! so yeah, that's what I think I am going to do for next week. I can't believe dinner turned out successful!!

My dinner. What do you think?? does it look nice?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I also went to Market Day at uni today. In the bus ride, I was experiencing one of my infamous emotional roller coaster but after reaching Market Day and splurging on things that I don't need, I felt a little better. Odd, shopping had never been therapeutic for me. Or maybe, I just don't do shopping in KL. Hmm...

Yeah, so I bought this treasure chest to put in my make ups, bought a winnie the pooh Hanky (it's too cute to resist), a book called 'Girls Night In' by various authors and a bracelet for my cousin. Imagine, I am already shopping for gifts to bring back for my family and friends. Haha, that's how much I want to go home.

Hm, I guess that all. checking in later!

bye! hugz
