Pancake flipper

Tried a hand at making pancakes today. It was a rather terrible experience i guess. First i couldn`t find the measuring cylinder to guage how much water i need to add to the powdered stuff from the " Pancake Mix, just add water " box. So in the end i just put everything in a jug and just estimate the water needed. I think, i think it turned out right coz after battering it is smooth. So i found a pan, added a tat too much oil on it and it ended up sizzling. And when i pour the pancake mix on it, it started sizzling everywhere, splurting oil and and everything all over the place. I was soooo damn panic man ....off the fire and stand far away from that all the hell break loose pan..... holding that wooden cooking ladel like a mad man, hoping to defend myself from whatever the hell gonna break loose. Later i learned that i shouldn`t put so much oil and that i only need to on a small fire to cook and not the largest flame i got earlier!!!!!!!! I thought the bigger the flame the faster it cooks mah ......... no wonder my first few pancakes all " chao tar " ( badly burnt black ) It looks like leather from an old rotting wallet :( After making many failed pancakes ( some are flower shaped, some black, some raw, some jus a mess of dunno what ), I finally got one right. Erm...... at least its almost golden brown ( Bronze dark brown to be exact ) and it`s ROUND!!!!!! U know how damn difficult it is to make your goddamn pancake round????? YES.......ROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmm....not bad ....first attempt ...no fire, no explosions, no fatality, no disasters! : ) When i am finally done, took alot of washing up as every little thing seems to like to stick to the pan.
Later i brought it to sormui and showed her my great masterpiece, the round pancake. Erm......think it took some difficulty to actually eat it. hahahah... erm .......act honestly speaking i think i make one got no taste eh ...........

Moral of the story ????????? save the trouble and just go Mcdonalds before 11am and order hotcakes : )
