Seni Memasak

Seni Memasak was the only "formal" co-curriculum I had ever taken in my university life. Usually when we registered for co-curriculum, it was hard to get because the seats were limited!

In fact, it is now officially ended, after attending 12 lessons + 1 more "presentation". It seems to end fast, but it took quite many hours from us just for One credit hour, with a few little written tests. Let me summarise...

First day, 11st Jan 2010, I went to School of Industrial Technology and searched for the room for Seni Memasak. It was my first time entering that school. When I found it, I saw no people had attended yet. Huh, I was too early? Luckily I did arrive at the correct room and started to know the situation better then. There were only 4 chinese, and there was no chinese guy. And the funny part was 4 of us knew each other -- Huey, NZC, Thiam Hui and I. The instructor of this course was one of the lecturer of this school, Dr Noor Aziah. She was quite nice person.

Firstly, we were all divided into 5 groups. I was in Group A, together with 4 malay girls and one malay guy, and we were from different schools. Every group had each own box of cooking tools and pans etc. Immediately after some briefing, we started our first cooking lesson! It was pumpking pudding, which in fact I thought it should not be called as pudding, just merely dessert.

Okay, the below listed the total dishes I had "cooked". Twice per week.

Hehe... not bad huh. I quite enjoyed myself in the cooking lessons. However, after every class, every group was required to send email to the instructor a photo of the dish and write some description with theme ! And it was me all the time to do the things.. ah well....

The spirit and the excitement dropped gradually especially after CNY. Anyway, many people expected me to cook better haha... I don't think that I can really cook the whole thing as I just assisted some part or just helped in washing dishes and taking photos.

Hohohoho.. I guess many people would consider taking up this course after seeing the photos I posted in facebook xp. Wow... the competition getting more intense. Just kidding la....
