Mdm Veron told me that Pastry is like this de.every ingredients must be exact not like hot cooking. And you must be paitient with the process..That why people that like fast pace dun like pastry or the cold kitchen,She also describe these 2 kitchens as HELL...Too slow for ppl who likes hot kitchen....Haha

Tired but my resilience brought me back.

Today, i started my day as per normal,but after lunch,i fell ill,so ill that i couldn't open up my eyes,then i went to HR ,then i was sent to Island group clinic,then they say i need a form from the hotel,the receiptionist was very kind,told me to rest for a while b4 going back to the hotel to take the form.....Gave me tissue to dry my forehead....Then i went back to Hilton after that,Then i was told to go home and visit my nearest clinic....Damn,i was sick and u ask me to walk up and down under the SUN ???? Heng,i took cab back...... Damn ill.... X.X

Went to the doc's he said,i have to watch over my weight,my high blood pressure has gone up again...Haiz.....I can only rest up now....Bloody me,if not i can ''chiong'' a function of 50 pax at harbour grill....Missed the fun and actions..... The chef was very good told me to rest up and catch up with them on friday...


Signing off~~
Sorry i could'nt help u ppl... XP Can't wait for friday..

Haiz...There we go, 1 day off is gone....Tml starts a new week.... heng i ending split shift this Saturday... XP Haiz....


My only advice to the juniors is, if u think that skol is hard,think again,concentrate on all basics in skol...Let me tell u guys this,I.A is not easy,if u see ur classmates who is now,couldn't be bothered, u can ask them not to waste their time in this line.....seriously,skol is nothing compared to the Industry.

Prepare urself to run up and down,left and right.....From walk-in chilllers to walk-in freezers....I am not to demoralise u ppl,but, do take note, if u like to do what u are doing ,it doesn't matter where u do it as long as u enjoy doing it...

Cahpish?
