level UP!

Ah, the weekend is upon us... Finally! Yesterday was kinda fun, as my Batch 47 guys and (obviously) yours truly prepared a 'hi-tea' buffet spread for our 'last' Level 1 assessment! It was tiring, as Thursday we did 'mise en plus' (which is the preparation of the ingredients to be used in cooking a particular dish), and then yesterday all we had to do was just cook or assemble the respective dishes. We cooked among others Mee Goreng Mamak, spring rolls, tuna and egg sandwiches, mixed vegetables, roast chicken and potatoes, potato and leek soup, and many more items. We invited all the chefs and staff of Cilantro Culinary Academy for the buffet, and we got rave reviews from each and every individual who sampled our cooking. Great stuff! Haha! For me, I was particularly pleased with myself (and my batch mates, for sure) for helping out more than I usually would. Sometimes I know I am not the most proactive student in the kitchen, but I don't want to bash myself up over past mistakes, and I am just pleased with my performance, on a personal note. Anyways, just glad that Level 1 is over, and we can move on to Level 2 next week...

boring day.....

just another boring day. shietzzzzz.......

today's boring. yesterday was exciting! Eric and yours truly went 'backpacking' around KL city. walked a lot, but that's what makes it fun. weather was in a foul mood, but nevertheless we strong men braved it. happy that i 'used up' my Lois jeans RM200 voucher. got a nice pair of jeans! sweet stuff! hahaha! downside? Liverpool lost 2-1 to Arsenal thanks to a late winner by two-goal hero Robin van Persie. actually, Arsenal scored ALL three goals! Liverpool's goal was actually an own goal by Gunners defender Laurent Koscielny. LOL!
ahhh.... now, to think of things to do that can keep me entertained... listening to music and completing a crossword puzzle... seems interesting...

better late than never

I know this is a bit late, but yeah, at least I bother to even take time to post this. Actually, I don't have much to do, so I can afford to take time to type all this! Haha! What do I want to talk about? Ahh...yes. How could I possibly forget? Liverpool FC(of England)'s record eighth League Cup win over Cardiff City(of Wales). I am a die-hard Liverpool fan, so this win meant that we broke a six-year trophy-less run. It means so much to me, and for sure all the Liverpool fans around the world. Okay, already wrote all this down. Haha...what else? Life's been good to me, so far... Level 1 of my culinary course (foundation) is coming to an end. Next Friday will be our 'hi-tea buffet', and that will mark the end of Lvl 1. Mixed feelings... I'm both nervous and excited about heading towards next Friday... Strange...

valentine shmalentine

It's Valentine's Day today! I know......OVER-commercialized, bla bla bla... I know, I know... Why am I saying this? 'cos the last gift I did give a girl on VD was in 2010, and that also I just bought some chocolates and placed it in a handmade box, and those damned chocolates cost so much! Bloody hell! Anyways, I just want to wish the couples a romantic time with each other! Enjoy your day, and of course more importantly the REST of your days together! Hahahaha!

*Weird but true* I just texted 'Happy Valentine's Day' to my mummy! That's not all! I told her that I love her too! First time saying that! Weird, but I did it anyway! First time sending her such a text! Oh mai goshhhhh! Wonder (and waiting) how she's gonna react! Hahahaha!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S, PEEPS! XOXO

if in doubt, get out

Funny thing, this. Today I totally had NOTHING to do at home, and so this thought came to me: I just realized that I had been 'quite' positive this week. Nothing strange about that, you say...but to me it makes a lot of difference. Usually, I would moan and whine about something that doesn't go my way, but this week I seem pretty content about the way events have unfolded in my life. To me this is an achievement. Turning negative thoughts to positive. Wow...never thought this would even be possible. Haha!

*on a separate note* I was supposed to go back to JB for a 'surprise' visit (seeing that Tuesday is a public holiday), but backed out in the end, for various reasons. Damn...it TOTALLY sucks to 'FFK' yourself (if you can call it that)! Hahahaha... Totally bored stiff here in Subang... Alone...... ><
