SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IT SCHOOL

Hi guys. This is my first blog post so...
Firstly, i just wanted to share with you guys how i feel about home economics(home econs in short). Personally, i really love cooking very much and sewing too, so no matter how bad my end product would be, i would still be proud of my creation. Also, home econs is some sort of relief from normal daily lessons as it helps me to relieve stress as well. And i also want to share with you guys about my most recent home econs lesson a few days back as something special took place...
We started our home econs lesson as usual by wearing the thing that we use to cover our hair, our apron and got ready to enter the home econs room. And by the way i really hate the thing i use to cover my hair as it makes me very hot but well, if i don't put it on i guess i won't even have a chance to get high marks and my food will be contaminated. After we entered the room, our teacher told us that we were supposed to make fried bee tai mak but she said that bee tai mak would become soggy very easily so she changed it to fried noodles, and the noodles we used were the noodles used to make laksa as she said it would not be soggy easily. Then, she demonstrated to us how to do everything then we went off to take our ingredients. Unfortunately, the mushrooms we needed were dried mushrooms so we had to soak it in water for a period of time. then, we went off to cut up our ingredients and got ready our pan. Then, i suddenly noticed that our mushrooms we were soaking was not cut yet and the pan would be ready very soon so i immediately took a knife and chopped it up real fast, but unfortunately one of them was so hard that i couldn't cut it up easily so i just tore it into smaller pieces and started tossing in the ingredients. When my teacher walked pass us and saw our initial stage of stir-frying, she told me that it was not bad. I was really happy when she said that as i knew that me and my partner's effort would not go down the drain. But, something really bad happened to it. My partner added a little too much water, no, wait, a lot to much water to the product and it looked like soup noodles. At that moment, my partner noticed the same thing i noticed and we didn't know what to do. Finally, we decided that we would just do it our way and turned up the fire to hopefully boil and make the excess water evaporate. Then, we also decided to add the egg and sauce into it before the water was totally evaporated. Finally, we decided to serve it although it still has a little water in it. There it laid, our final product. We felt that it was an act of serendipity as although it wasn't fried noodles, it looked and tasted something like hor fun, and we felt it was great. Unfortunately, our teacher thought differently and because we created something we were not supposed to make, although it tasted great we only received 13 and a half marks. 
Although i didn't get full marks, i loved my final product and so did my partner and i can tell you that i truly enjoyed that home econs lesson and i surely know that i would also enjoy the rest of the  home econs lessons.
