Congee is not rice! lol

Yeh, i cooked congee tonight, an hour ago to be exact, but i failed big time on the first attempt. It looked completely like a bowl of rice with soup which has been dried off for not eating it immediately after it's cooked. sadness!!! i couldn't even cook congee!!!!! what a shame.

Firstly, i boiled the rice with hot water and ginger to spice up the congee. After it's boiled, i added in some lean pork and was going to add in some carrot as well but obviously i didn't have any so yeah i couldn't be bothered and actually too late to go down and get it. So after 15 minutes, it looked fine already but i thought since it's congee, i would heat it up for another 5 or 10 minutes. Obviously after that, the congee looked like a bowl of rice, to make the matter worse, it somehow looked like sticky rice !! yeah, no kidding, sticky rice because the water was totally dried off.

what did i do then? aiyo, of course call my mum la!!! lol. then she laughed her ass off while telling me to add more water and let it boiled again for another 3-5 minutes, and not to forget to add in more salt as i added in some more water. i know that!!!!! i actually counted the amount of salt to be added in proportion to the water added in. fuiyo. lol. obviously she was looking down at me!!! It's ok, how many people on earth will actually gain success in their first attempt?

and after that, ta daa~~~~~

it did look like congee now. haha. and it actually tasted so nice that i am considering to run a restaurant selling Shane's Congee in Coogee. lol. it rhymes!!!!! lol.

Anyway, winter is here. It's way too early!!! and it's reported that this year is going to be colder than last year. {might as well start snowing la 笨 (pronounce it in canto)}.The freezingly cold weather and the lack of sleep due to my never-ending assignments and tests defeated my immune system and i have to say i hate runny nose and the ceaseless sneezing!

ok take care guys. i will get my ass back here soon when i am done with my reservoir engineering test next week. it's painful but thinking that Rachie (my lecturer) has put in so much effort in teaching us (suddenly become so appreaciative), I shouldn't disappoint her. wow, i will send her the link to my blog. lol.

bye~じゃあまた
