MasterChef... fail...

Okay, today was more like a fail day of MasterChef. It was technically the first day of my glorious holiday and I should like sleep in. But I didn't. Cause I had to be in Clayton by like 10 AM to meet up with Mel, Amanda T. and peoples. So up I went and I got to Clayton around 9:40 AM. I wandered around a bit trying to kill time but turns out Leon was there early too. Then by 10 AM we realised Mel was there early too. And we waited at the train station for Amanda T. Who wasn't coming yet as she slept in, lol. Nor was Vu coming yet either. So there goes that idea. The three of us went off shopping for vegetables and whatever stuff we needed to cook with.

Wasn't exactly what I envisioned as I realised that no one else like looked up recipes to measure out what ingredients they needed to buy. And I only covered myself. So I was like... GAH @.@ Oh well. Shopping was... shopping. A lot of walking everywhere with the three of us. We were like looking for Nata de Coco in the Asian Grocers. And Lychee flavoured konnyaku. Buying veggies in the veggie mart. And went to two coles for cake related goods. We were gonna make noodles, muffins, cupcakes and two actual cakes for tomorrow. By the end of the day the cupcakes went out the window though. Spent a load of money on stuff (which I never got all the money back for...and I spent over $40... *dies inside* .... Yi Xin gave me more money to cover stuff so that I didn't feel like I just lost $30 when I shouldn't be spending money at all...). I don't plan to pay in advance for anything ever again though to be honest. >.>;; Or so I say. I always seem to end up planning things. I need to stop that. The organiser always loses the most money, lol. And I don't have enough money to keep being the one losing stuff....

So we went back to my home. Uhh... and 4 of us (Yi Xin was at home) went away to cook. Amanda T. and Yih came by a bit later on to help out. And so did Tom surprisingly who was at uni. And then Vu and Rachel came!! RACHEL!!! Kyaaa~ lol. Cooking was a meh... process. I was supposed to do noodles but I sort of abandoned the job halfway cause I couldn't take everyone telling me "No, Celine... you're supposed to do this and this first." It isn't really a big deal but I'd like to see whether you would get annoyed if you were trying to cook (voluntarily) for someone else's sake and have more then two people get at you to do things their way. When I've been living alone since I was 16 and have been doing whatever crap my own way as I see fit because that's how I roll. I know I don't do things the 'proper' way. But, no one has EVER taught me cook. I learned to cook out of necessity. Or I can't feed myself. So of course you don't learn things properly by self teaching yourself and trial and error. But who cares, I always get the results anyway. I was also annoyed at myself for getting annoyed though. Not exactly the friendly good hearted person, am I? I need to learn to control my temper. I mean, it's my mates also. Gah, what's wrong with me... @.@ I always get upset for the smallest things. It's why I fail so much...

Afternoon wasn't too eventful. We spent the entire day cooking. Didn't have much lunch. I wanted to cook everyone lunch too but too many people and no food, lol. On the update of foods. I screwed up somewhere cause Leon's muffins failed and I must have given a really crap recipe (I tried out that same recipe a few days later though - the muffins actually raised to some extent) so yeah, I guess adding banana to some recipe wasn't a good idea as it killed any chance of the muffins raising. @.@ Poor Leon getting crap from everyone cause of that. I felt bad, lol. Noodles was pretty good. Yi Xin did most of the work though. Cupcakes didn't happen. And I baked two cakes. Which I finished by the evening. They turned out decent. I attempted to decorate it. Mel and Vu gave the idea of like... using 100's and 1000's to spell out a letter on the cake! It was pretty cute.

Oh yeah, everyone went to my room during one time. Apparently it is small. LOL. I dunno *shrugs* I was in a smaller room last year afterall! I cleaned my room up in the morning so it looked decent. Rachel, Amanda T., Tom and Yih said my bear wasn't cute. Vu and Leon said my BEAR IS CUTE! So it's all good. :D :D :D Poor Gabby (my teddy). He IS the cutest bear in the world!!! Dinner, umm... I went with Mel, Vu and Leon to Clayton to just eat something at the local Chinese place. We left after cake 2 was done. Near to 7 PM. Mel left her phone at my house so she went back after dinner to get it. And that was the day pretty much.
