YOOOHOOOO~~~I'm here to post the pictures i took during the 2 weeks holiday!!!
1)Sushi making!!!
First thing to start with is to shop for ingredients,seaweed,vinegar for the sushi rice,crabmeat,eggs,mayonnaise,tuna,cucumber,etc.My family and i went DAISO(a shop that sells most of the japanese stuff) and NTUC to shop for them....
Then,we went to my cousin's house and did before-making preparations like,geting the rice,crabmeat and eggs cooked,cutting the seaweed and cucumber.etc.It was damn fun in the beginning and we kept eating the rice and ingredients and the sushi that was made,cause they were tasted damn nice!Then,it became quite boring and tiring cause we eatb till we ran out of seaweed and we felt bloated.Then,again,we shopped for the seaweed and started doing them again.We kept ,making and making and we used ELEVEN CUPS(as in those cups that are used to scoop uncooked rice)of rice to make!!! We felt so damn relieved when we inally finished making them,cause we were scared that we can't finish using the ingredients...ahahahas..
BUT,for those who've tried the sushi,they said its good=)
First,getting all the ingredients together...
First few sushi that we did...it wasn't that "good-looking" cause its tough to cut rolls of sushi neatly and beautifully!ahahahs..
one of the sushi that i've cut!nice right...but wait,this is only the front view...let's see the back view...
UGLY right????ahahahaahsss.....this is what i mean by making the sushi first time...ahahahahaas...
Another type of sushi we made...this one looks nice..hahas..
AND FINALLY...
THE SUSHI'S DONE!!!
=)
2)Cookies making!!!
i went to one of my best friends(Adelene=)) house to make cookies!!!She prepared all the ingredients before i reached her house cause i was late...so sorry=(....Then,we started making!!!we made some first then we sent them for baking in the oven...13 mins later,they were done!Then,we tasted them.Well,as i said,beginners don't always get thing perfect during the first try.....but the cookies taste nice just that its too tough for the teeth..ahaahasss......but after a few tries,it succeed and we made BEAUTIFUL AND DELICIOUS COOKIES!!We made four flavours,choco chips,marshmallow,nuts,and DARK CHOCO(THIS IS THE NICEST)!!!
First,getting the ingredients together..that's always the first step in making anything.
PEANUTS!
ROASTED ALMONDS!
Then,we have to sieve the flour...its not an easy job to do cause u have to get all the flour needed in to the bowl clean and quick.....and a spoon actually helped=)
The SIEVED flour.Its more thin and soft=)
while sieveing the flour,we had to mix the margarine/butter with sugar.After the sugar has totally melted in the margarine/butter,add in 2 eggs...and stir then again..and its quite gross when the eggs were just added...
this is what i mean!GROSS Right???
After that,we pour the flour into the mixed eggs,margarine/butter and sugar and mixed them together.
when we just mixed them together,they are still very watery....but the magic of stirring turned it into...
THIS!!!Its damn hard to stir it as it will become harder and harder as u stir...and i think you all can tell the different by seeing this 2 pictures..hahahs...
After stirring,we made doughs of different flavours for ur cookies!!
The marshmallow flavour!
Choco chips and nuts flavours!!
and last,
The DARK CHOCO FLAVOUR!!!For this,i stirred the dough with lot of scoops of cocoa powder and that's why the colour's so dark..hahas...Hmm,it might look gross but it taste real good after baked...ahahahs...
Then it was sent for baking..
While it was baking,the cookies expanded so much that it sticked together!Maybe because my friend added too much baking powder and we placed the cookies too close to one another...hahas
This is what i mean by sticking "together"...and the marshmallow actually melted when sent for baking and it looks gross!BUt and BUT its taste quite good and teh melted marshmallow tasted like corn flakes..ahahs..
Then after a few rounds of baking( caused we made too many and the oven can't bake them at a go)...
WE ARE DONE!!!
OH YA! and one thing i discovered that day on marshmallow...
IT TASTED DAMN GOOD WITH COCOA POWDER!!!AHAHAHAAHAHS...
And again,for those who ate my cookies,they said YUMMY except for one-.-'''
IT WAS A YUMMY DAY!!!hahahas...
=P
3)DRAWING lesson in school!!!
hmm....during that 2 days of drawing lesson,we did perspective drawing and gesture drawing...it was fun and effectively helps me in drawing..another reason that the leaturer demostrate on what to draw first before we started drawing...
And i actually became their model and the leaturer and my classmates drew me...the leaturer drew me until super fat and i wonder that's me or not...hahas..my friend actually did better then him..hahas..
A DRAWING OF ME BY RACHAEL!!!
And i drew my friend too!!!but,i drew her untill very ugly but actually she a pretty girl=)See!FUN lesson!!!(at least is MORE fun than YT's lesson!hahas)
