Time to say goodbye

I just don't wanna waste another day 
I'm trying to make things right but you shove it in my face 
And all those things you've done to me I can't erase 
And I can't keep this inside, it's time to say goodbye

On the first day that I met you I should've known to walk away 
I should've told you, you were crazy and disappear without a trace 
But instead I stood there waiting hoping you would come around 
But you always found a way to let me down

It's time to say goodbye 
I just don't want to waste another day
It's time to say goodbye 
'Cause things will never be the same
It's time to say goodbye 
You make me sick, I need to walk away
It's time to say goodbye, it's time to say goodbye

After all the things I've done for you, you never tried to do the same 
It's like you always play the victim and I'm the one you always blame 
When you need someone to save you, when you think you're gonna drown 
You just wrap your arms around me and pull me down

Now I'm gone, it's too late you can't fix your mistakes 
I was trying to save you from you 
So you scream, so you cry, I can see through your lies 
You're just trying to change me

Somewhere in the distance there's a place for me to go 
I don't want you to hate me but I think you need to know 
You're weighing on my shoulders and I'm sick of feeling down
So I guess it's time for me to say goodbye



We had our class farewell dinner at Shogun Japanese restaurant in Sunway Pyramid yesterday. It was great fun. We had the honour of having Chef Bernard and a few of the invited chefs come together to eat with us. It was a marvellous buffet spread, and boy did we lap it all up! We boys ate as much as our stomachs could fill. Perhaps the most interesting part of this dinner was when I insisted on challenging Marshal to a 'wasabi' challenge, which meant we would see who could eat the most wasabi on a single sushi. In the end everyone took the 'challenge'! It was funny and rather stomachache-inducing to watch, as the stakes got higher and higher as the subsequent 'victims' had to wolf down larger amounts of wasabi! Really funny stuff.

After dinner, we guys went bowling. Rather pricey, but then again this is Sunway Pyramid so it was hardly surprising. Again, we had great fun. After that we all went our separate ways. Had a great time with all of the guys for one last time (well, before we meet up again for C&G theory examination), but nonetheless sad to leave all the familiarities that I have gotten used to for the past one year plus...

Well, I planned to sleep early and get up early to pack up my remaining stuff to prepare for my trip up to Penang (later in the morning), but SOD THAT: I ended up wasting time. Haha...wasting time. Bad habit recently: sleeping DAMN late. I got to wake up early later, yet here I am, sleeping late. If I miss the early bus, I am so screwed. Like SO in trouble. Got to sleep now. It's been a great time, from foundation till now. Toodles~

YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

"Life is strange. It works in mysterious ways. It gives you surprises when you least expect it..."


I was due to go with two of my friends to Penang to move into our new house that we're going to stay at for the six months of on-the-job training there, but here I am now, sitting at my current home in Subang. Why did I not follow them? Because I felt that I rather not rush. I felt like staying back a while to be with my current housemates/classmates and also to join them for a dinner tomorrow (using our earnings from the four-course project). If I had followed my friends to Penang today I would've missed the dinner gathering. The only downside of me staying back a few days is the fact I have to take a bus to Penang, lugging heavy luggage. ALONE. But then again, this trip to Penang is to me a double-edged sword. Plus point is, if I had gone with my friends I wouldn't have to worry about transport (friend's parents driving us there), but then the downside would be the fact that I will miss the dinner gathering due to us leaving a few days too early. The other scenario? Plus point would be the fact I can spend more time with my friends before we all leave for our individual job trainings, but downside would be going there alone by bus. Honestly, I may or may not regret this...but I am the master of my own destiny. I make my own choices. So I hope that staying back will be a good decision...

Oh, and today's the FINAL four-course session!
YEAH BABY YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! 
After three long months of sessions it has finally come to an end. A long awaited end...
Today's session was a group one, with my group (B) doing it. Safe to say, we passed.
Had a great time during these three months, though it is not without it's fair share of drama and tension!
Mixed feelings regarding this. I feel glad it's all over, yet I feel that I'll miss all this once we go for job training...


"We don't enjoy what we have now until it's long gone....."

Sooner or later, we all have to move on. Things change. People come and go. Feelings change. One thing's for sure: many years down the road, I'll look back at all this (hopefully without a tinge of regret) in a positive light. Hope that whatever happens till my classmates and I meet up again in three months time it will all be good and positive things...



 Time to get some rest. For sure tonight and tomorrow will be exciting times... NO TIME TO SLEEP!!!!! hahahahahahaha!

got.to.stop.procrastinating.




It's late, I know. But no time is ever too late for a laugh (or two). Enjoy the 'punny' puns!

Gosh...the days are nearing: I will be leaving Subang (and also Casa Subang, my humble abode for 1 year +) for Penang, where I will be undertaking my job training at Rasa Sayang Hotel in Batu Ferringhi. for 6 months. I have been having lots of fun just soaking up the atmosphere with my classmates nowadays, knowing that we won't be seeing each other for a few months...but the only problem is that the days are ticking by so quickly! I currently only have 5 more days left here before I leave for Penang. Haven't started packing up my stuff too! Gotta stop procrastinating and start packing! Haha...

*I don't wanna leave my place here, but I have to move on...

Wishing on the same star

It's so hard to leave you
I don't really wanna go
I don't wanna say goodbye to you
It's the last thing I wanna do
But I won't be sad now
Because till your in my arms again
You'll be inside of my heart
And wherever I go
We'll never really be apart

We'll be wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon
When you're thinking of me, baby
I'll be thinking of you
And no matter where I go
I will be there with you
Wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon

It's not really over
Baby, it will never be
Long as you keep me in your heart
I'll be there anywhere you are
And when you feel sad
Remember all the love we shared
And when you're feeling alone
Well, just look up in the sky
Oh, and baby, so will I

We'll be wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon
When you're thinking of me, baby
I'll be thinking of you
And no matter where I go
I will be there with you
Wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon

No matter where you turn around
It's the same sun that keeps shining down
Wherever we'll be, I know that we'll be
Wishing on the same star

GREAT SUCCESS!

OWHMAIGAWD!!!

woahhhhhhhhhh! Still can't believe it, but today was my 4-course session, and for the first time I saw so many customers coming to eat my food! The whole restaurant was packed! (but maybe that is partly due to the fact that the customers didn't have to fork out a single cent to sample my goods. yes, you read that right: NOT a single cent!) My parents helped fund the whole event, due to my failure in my first time session where I charged a certain sum and eventually couldn't get enough people to fill up the restaurant. And....due to the overwhelming response today, I may finally have earned enough to pass (finally!) at least one session of this 4-course events that my class have been doing for the last two months. Tomorrow I got to go see my chef to pass him the money earned during the event to calculate my food cost and also to see if I officially passed or not. But since my parents sponsored it, I think a pass is more or less guaranteed. It feels so good to do things right and reap the benefits... Bloody proud of myself now! hiak hiak hiak xD

Also, I am glad my parents took time off to drive up here to Subang to try my cooking and most importantly lend some support for my event. Three of my aunts and my grandma tagged along, and suffice to say I had the silliest grin (due to me being proud to hear it) on my face after my family praised the cooking. Apparently they liked everything I offered, and not only them, as many people I asked gave favourable feedback. As the executive chef for the day, I could not have asked for a better day. Overall I am glad that I have gotten this hurdle over and done with. Now it's time to enjoy a bit, but not too much. About two weeks more till the official end of this 4-course sessions, and I am done here. At least for the time being. After the six months of on-the-job training I will have to return to Cilantro to complete my theory and practical examination set by City&Guilds of London. So until then, life can still be considered a breeze... even if this 4-course sessions are energy-sapping! Still, life goes on...just gotta go with the flow.....

After the session was over, I brought my parents and relatives over to Casa Subang to show them my house. Took a quick shower, then went to IKEA with them for some shopping. Felt proud (again!) for showing Dad how to get to Damansara Utama. Looks like all those road trips with Eric weren't wasted... hehe xD Sometimes even I amaze myself. I barely know the roads around KL, but sometimes even the roads I am not familiar with I can direct people to the right path. Life is mysterious... haha!



 Ahhh...WHAT A DAY IT HAS BEEN! Gonna go get some sleep now. Tomorrow's another day, and also another 4-course session. Goodnight world! XOXO
