Dummy Chef

Brief update: I lost count on the times my alarm clock went into snooze mode. I dread getting up today, I so long to sleep for 5 minutes more even though I have told myself that countless times until the clock struck 8:30am. Why can't the government declare today a holiday for the whole of Malaysia instead of those 2 states only? Hmmph. One word for my morning: Jialat.

Shopping has taken up my to-do lists during the long weekend. Got a frying pan cum wok this time, which I secretly swore to myself, I shall cook religiously from now on. Mum rolled her eyes, "we'll see."

Since I was tall enough to reach the kitchen counter, I have always been observing my home chef - mama doing her cooking. She really dotes on cooking or rather fulfilling the responsibility, unlike her daughter who will only stand and watch from a distance.

Basically, I am not those who stands 10 metres away from the cooker whilst struggling to stir those leaves, its just the lack of interest and seriously, holding that spatula is never my cup of tea. In fact, I am proud to say that I am really good in cooking in theory. You name it, soup boiling, stirring the veges, fish steaming, chicken stew. I know the ingredients by hard and also the sequences in adding what and what next.

Oh, besides the cooking, The Lo family slaves, Mr. Marcus and I are also very hesitant to chop those garlics everytime as the kitchen counter is always too low for the Lo family's height. You should get the picture. Mr. Marcus is 3/4 head taller than me. We will end up grumbling about the neck pain and leg numb symptoms after those errands.

Looks like mama is never able to retire from the kitchen.
