Yvonne -- Pre-trip cooking Reflections :))
5:41 PM It's getting closer.. In less than 7h time, we would all be gathered in T3, waiting to check in and board the plane:X Reflecting back on the times that we as a L.E.G.O team had spent this past one year, it had brought back many fond memories:D The cooking session that we had had on Monday was really an eye-opener for me. I didn't know that just $1 per person can also whip up a meal for 27 people. Initially when I learnt that we were only allowed to use a total of $27, I was not very confident that our mission of cooking for the entire team would be a success, until we went to the market and managed to get discounts and good bargains. One big bag of vegetables, enough to whip up a meal for even 40 people, costs us only $6!! Haha.. Within that short period of time, when everyone was busy cooking, I had learnt many things:) Firstly, I had realised that many of people in our team, even the guys, can cook very well!! The meal turned out fine, with the hard work of everyone. I am sure we would be able to survive and endure through that 14 days in Yunnan:))) Secondly, I had learnt that specialisation is required in order for us to finish cooking within that period of time given to us, regardless of whther is it during the trial cooking or in Yunnan. We had to allocate the tasks to everyone so as to speed up the tasks. This is really important as we had not allocated the tasks on that day and we had overshot the time limit.. Lastly, we need to have a good eatimation of the amount of food that we would require to whip up a meal sufficient for 27 people. This would help to minimise wastage, because on Monday, we had cut too much onions and tomatoes, resulting in excess. Nonetheless, the pre-trip session was a valuable experience for me and I really enjoyed it!:p Now I shall go get myself ready and mentally prepared for the trip..haha I am really looking forward to this trip and am really excited about it! LEGO, Let's all strive hard, Jiayou and enjoy this trip(and not forgetting to give the best we can to help the people in Yunnan:D) With LOVE and cheers, Yvonne:) |
