It looks good but it is a little raw. I use just the same amount of water as the rice. For me, half cup of rice per serving. This time I use just half cup of water because the rice was already immersed in the water.

Too much water will make it soggy. I prefer dryer rice. It was cooked at slow heat until there is no rattling sound. Then I switched off the heat, and waited for more than 10 minutes until I can open its cover.

After tasting the rice and feeling some water on the rice, I reheat yhe rice until some steam is produced. Not sure if the rice at the bottom is burned but I heard cracking sound when I turned the heat full to speed up the steaming process.

Then I left it for a few more minutes.

The theory is that, it is not the time that determines the cooking of rice but the amount of energy. The best temperature is 100 degC which is the temperature of boiling water. The amount of water determines the amount of energy transfered but the energy is lost as steam. So minimum water is desirable to reduce the amount of heat reaquired to cook the rice. 

Just sufficient to submerge the rice should be sufficient. If still raw, add more water and let steam cooks the rice. Cooking with steam is more efficient but takes longer because it cools fast. We just need to reheat frequently while making sure the bottom rice is not burned but adding water.
The rice is cooked but soggy. Could be the extra water added at the end.

Tent I broke one leg of my tent because I did not bother to read its instructions. The instructions are clear and pictorial. No way we can make a mistake if we bother to look at the one page of pictorial insyruction. The most important is to pull the links when we want to bend the links. When packing, bend the topmost links first. Need to remove pegs first. I did not remove my pegs so the links are difficult to pull. I need to pull bend the lower links first and that caused difficulties. The good news is the broken link can be patched up and reinforced with an extra pole taped to the legs and through the leg fittings. My attempts to fix the broken jojnts using superglue and epoxy failed. If the joints are made from PVC, we may be able to use PVC solvent, to join and reinforce the joints. Raining The tent by itself should be able to withstand showers. There might be some leaks but can easily be wiped with cloths. I brought 4 pieces of microfibre cloth to wrap around my tools. A drizzle ...
