Your timing seems to be getting better, according to the meta data you are using a F36 aperture and flash, and a significantly faster shutter time than messy_da_legend did. My question would be as to whether the shorter exposure or the flash was responsible for freezing the action.

Turn off some of the room lights, keeping only the lights you need to see what you are doing, plus the camera's flash, and place a couple of incandescent flashlights at each side of the sink with the beams pointed toward the water. While the flashlights provide a golden glow, a red laser pointer brings another color into the picture.

Shoot with the camera set to full auto, and then check what ISO, shutter, and aperture the camera used. This way you can match the same settings while shooting on P or other modes. You can focus the lens, manually, on a pencil's label. The pencil can be placed across the glass, exactly where the water droplets hit the water's surface. The flashlights should provide enough light for you to be able to see the markings on the pencil.

Move the flashlights around to change the beams' angles, other than pointing them at the camera, until you get the results you want.
