FAILED CHEESECAKE AGAIN?

My mood today is the same as moody and cloudy as the weather. Due to my second time failure making cheesecake. Seriously I feel so sad, sad because I wasting the ingredient and the money.

The first time I make a "Bake" Cheesecake and it is unsuccessful because is under cook, the cookies crust base is wet and the cheese is so soft and runny. I use water bath method to bake the cheesecake and I didn't wrap the tin! I just have to blame my lazyiness for not doing homework / studies on how to bake a cheesecake. After the failure, I went to read on a few baker blogger and realise that firstly the tin of the base must placed a piece of aluminium foil over it. The tin ring then placed over the foil and secured onto the base. The bottom and sides are then wrapped with two layers of foil. This is to prevent water from the water bath leaking into the cheesecake base. Water bath method take a slightly longer time to bake than a normal cake.

The second time which is yesterday, I try the "Non-Bake" method and again it failed. The instruction given that the cheesecake must be refrigerate until firm (about 12 hours), I follow and waited till the next day (about 12 hours later) and unmold the tin, ohh god!! Again my cheesecake is so soft and runny after slicing piece by piece, I keep staring on the cheesecake and wondering whether should I keep or throw? Slowly the cheesecake seem like collapse and melting away. So I decided to throw into the bin.. I'm feel sorry for wasting the food resources.

Another unlucky thing happen on my compact camera, when I switch on the botton and I saw a few black line on the screen.. Oh god, the camera is something wrong so I have to hurry and change to make a trip down to the customer service center as their operate hour for Saturday till 12.30pm only. As usual take the Q number and wait for my turn to be call. Luckily is not that crowded and I show the customer service lady what went wrong with my camera and she went in to shown her technician the problem, shortly she came out and she told me the repair fee cost $180. I got a shock, in the end I turn down the offer. I would rather buy a brand new camera than repair it as this is not the first time my camera have the same problem. This camera I bought around 500++ buck and it only stay with me for about 2-3 years only, I hardly even used it. Nowadays electronic life span is really short unlike last time a TV can last for about 10 years or even longer.
