Here n there...

Well...here i come again..time passed really fast. There u go,and Im already in Penang. Now it's different because Im not in college or watever University studying anymore..Im now working,REAL industry I mean.. Currently in Cassis fine dining and also in Chez Weng restaurant in the morning till noon. So, basically Im working in both side. Its kinda sad that its fun to be in one big team because everyone had their own talent and everyone shows really good teamwork..But later on..more and more of those things faded away..not rapidly but slowly. The energy and the passion in these kitchen had changed and most of it basically because everyone had been working very very long hours and it exceed more than 12 hours a day,6 days a week...F***ing awesome rit?? And one more thing that not many ppl can accept it is because we heard that coming CNY, there is no off day!! ARE U SERIOUS??! what?until after valentine day?? come on!!! Well..its how it looks like. Im not blaming who ever because business is always business.. But at least thee are off dayS after 5th CNY..and we can go back to our hometown to celebrate with family and friends.. One month working without a single off day is freaking too much man!! Anyway,no offends... It is just a comment and suggestion from everyone... Im quite happy working there but meanwhile, Im looking at more organized and tolerate management.

Dont talk bout work anymore...hmmm.....oh ya.!! My girlfriend went to Taipei this morning for a week to study Therapy bout aroma thingi.. quite proud of her coz she has the guts to go alone. Lucky its just a week..if not..Im gonna miss her so much!! Its good that she learned something new for her flower tea business..I will always support her and hope she will come back with something BIG for me..wahahaha....If any of u read this blog...PLZ LEAVE A MSG to ME!! chaoz!

Its been awile..

Its been awile since i write this blog... hmmm.. Since the last update of my blog,i realized that my life have changed..Rapidly a lot..!!! Those who do not know me,well..here I go..

After Internship in Hilton KL, I've learned more n more things which I cant list down now..
After end of December, Chef Malcolm joined back into my College and there my life of competition started again.. In december, me and him planned to go for competition in Australia but in the end,because time is really cruel- we did not have sufficient time to train and there it goes,cancelled. So, we aim for other big one which is in Hong Kong. It was in June so we have plenty of time doing research and training..It was tough but it was ok for me,and lovely team of mine. 3 lecturers, 1 production chef and 3 students(including me)... I can say so far this was the best team ever!! We have fun and hard time together- training until all the way to Hong Hong and then back to Malaysia!! We do not have time to have fun there "jalan jalan" but we enjoyed to be together there as a team!! Well, so far so good when we got 3 silver,2 bronze(1 is mine =) )and got another one- third place in Asia semi final,Represent Malaysia. Well, this semi final competition was last minute because Malaysia couldnt send representative due to some problems,so I was choosen. I have no training for this category accept quick one for my dessert. Its all depends on my skills and wat I've learned. Chef told me one thing the night before the competition which I will remember forever. He said:"If u r a chef, U can cook a five star dish juz by using a bunsen burner and a pot"!! then he added, during the competition...U prove to me u can cook or not....and so i did proved to him!! I cried when I got that award-embaressing!!

After that competition, our team + one new guy went for another one in Penang but different category.. Me and two girls as a team competed and got A GOLD medal which I aimed sooooo long before I leave Berjaya University. Of coz Im happy!! so far,Ive been through 6 competition and it makes me feel good and proud of my hard work!! Thanks to my Team,frens and Family and also important one,my GF.. Its a hard road to walk and im proud Ive been this far!! so....tats what happen this year and hope to have support from everyone in the future!! =)

To all people out there....Dun give up and do ur best!! Belive in urself and also REMEMBER TO PRAY!!

His life...

Will was inspired by a movie that really touched his feelings and made him wanna write more about his life in another way...Be a writer is not easy as ABC..He knew it. English have to be fantastic and bombastic just to be a writer...But in his opinion,he thinks that english is just an art that will never have an end. Errm,that' s not the story about his life...

Back to his life...When he was 12 years old, he was a very big size guy and he felt that no one will ever love him;not even a girl. He's been running away from his life and used to give reasons not to attend class. Now, the reasons he gave suddenly became true that he never expect that to happen on him;he is sick and ill. His father came all the way back from Thailand and leave his job for a moment just for him.His mother in another hand, suffering taking care of him. Sometimes life is really unpredictable. In that moment,he tried to convince his parent that he is ok because he knew that his parent were the one suffered more. Miracle happened and he recovered from his sickness by the end of the year. His size,from 40 to 31.

Will no longer feel lonely and low confident on himself. Thanks to everyone that supported him while he was in the hospital,lying meaningless on the white-gated bed with some water dripping slowly beside his bed. All he can hear at that time is just machines around him, the air from the air-cond and buzzing sound from the patient around his bed. It was almost meaningless and pain physically and mentally at that moment for him. He could not even walk like a normal person; run around like he used to.It is restless... He enjoy eating and try new food but he could not eat everything he love at this moment.


To be continue....

Southern Rock Seafood Event...

** with life Abalone...

** Wong is busying cutting salmon..

Wednesday i got news from Karan that there's an BBQ event and he needs 3 ppl to help around..So i agreed assumed that there will be chef and we are there to help around and enjoy there...
Thursday,got a call from Karan and i rush to Uni although there is no class for today...when i'm there,he told me to look at the email that he received from the guy. I read it and saw there are 4types of fish, lobster, abalone, oyster and salad to be done. They only needed Two ppl, and only TWO ppl will be cooking..and that's us. I was like...OMG!! have to do Demo in front of customers and i don't really talk when i was cooking or cutting..But i took the challenge and wanted to experience how is the feel of a chef doing demo in front of ppl..Whole day cracking my head thinking of what and how to do it, finding recipe and so on. It is really a rush time..I dun even have a proper recipe and Friday is the function already..Have to kill life abalone,I DUN KNOW!! Lobster too!! By the way,thanks to Wong ZhenZhian for being dare enough to take the challenge and be a team to cook all these seafood for 30 pax. Thanks to Karan for bringing me to visit that shop after class!!=)
Friday morning,attended for classes till 12.30pm..Then rest and eat lunch.. Rush to Cold Storage,bought ingredients because they din supply and it was last minutes thing.(GREAT==") No chef can guide us what sauce and method to prepare...5.30pm-looking for taxi and NO taxi willing to fetch us to Bangsar..(GREAT X2). Took Monorail to KL Central with all the ingredients and utensils with us but there are soo damn many people(GREAT X3)..reached KL Central,inserted my card-REJECTED!! (GREAT X4)... Took a taxi and instead of 15minutes, we spend almost an hour just to get there, thanks to the jam!!(GREAT X5).... When we are there, we prepare,cut,cook,impressed others, and do DEMO.. it was really fun because i can show them how to fillet a fish, what is the flavour from different part of Salmon fish, how to do suitable sauce for the fish, and so on..Thanks to Wong for doing the Sambal demo too..And also,all the time with us from Berjaya- Shaun Oh..he helped alot in taking video and prepare things for us..THANKS.. It is very nice feeling when i can be the chef on my own and seeing ppl enjoying the food. Felt happy when they came to me and ask how i did it, said that the food is nice, good job, and more. Josh, the person incharge for Southern Rock Seafood is happy with it and looking for more things to do in future.

aaa...it was tiring but the experiences and satisfaction is what im looking for!!

Malacca..awww..

It was great great time in Malacca and I never felt better than being in my lovely home town, Malacca. You can find the Best Nyonya food, famous Chicken rice ball, pineapple tart, Cendol and of coz the Ikan Bakar!! Yummy!! Lately, I've been around the town and all I do is just keep eating!! Arrggghh, I'm going fatter now..Never mind, I enjoyed it!!

I've been recommended to this restaurant by my GF,Amber... It was a Vegetarian Restaurant and I drove all the way down to Malacca town(Melaka Raya) and hunt fot the restaurant. We thought it will be hard to find that restaurant but it was easy. There are 2 different floor in that restaurant. The ground floor looks like normal restaurant with only tables and chairs but on the other floor, which is the top floor..It feels like you are at home... Its kinda creepy at first because we are only customer on that floor but after a moment, we don't feel it anymore but comfortable. There are so many cook book on shelves to read, healthy products( Vegetarian) and even fresh vegetables for sale!!!

i ordered "Lei Cha" and she ordered "mee" with some mushrooms and vege( sorry, I kinda forget the name). The food is totally fresh and I really satisfied,thumbs up for them...!! It is not only nice but healthy.. I've tried many "Lei Cha" in Malacca,KL and some other places and I find this restaurant served the best among others... For those who wanna go and have a try..This is the address: 150-A, Jalan Merdeka Taman Melaka Raya, Melaka (75000). Oh yea..the juices and dessert are really tasty as well. I've tried the mix fruit juice and it was awesome!! I love eating meat because it's tasty but sometimes we didn't realize that vegetarian food can be tasty as well!! WOW!!

Exam is finally over,BUT..

At last,my exam for sem 4 is done and i can finally enjoy my holiday..But...aarrgghh, I don't like to add "but" after saying,because it's always have opposite meaning of the first sentence.. Niway, but yea...I can never have good and peace holiday i guess. Because i still have to settle things for my Culinary Club, Orientation is coming and CAM presentation is still not done. It's kinda busy just by doing all this and sometimes just feel like letting it all down for a moment and enjoy myself!! Of course I cant let it go forever.. I love what I am doing and sometimes the people that supported me and guided me makes me feel energetic and wanted to do more in the end..haha.. sounds crazy "BUT" yeahhhh..that's me!

Anyway..It's Monday morning now and i'm sitting in the Uni's library accompanied by Alex BUT he is not around,great! ~~ Hmmm,Helong is gonna move all her stuff to the new apartment today BUT i cant help her...sorry coz i have things to be done and meeting to attend or handle!DUH!! Maybe at night when I'm back??I miss my home town and everyone in Malacca a lot. Maybe I should meet up with my friends when I'm back...It's been a long time since we met. Nothing special here in KL and it's just building around you, people busy walking here and there with or without places to go and "man made" machines all over the road...sigh**

Looking forward to go back Malacca this coming Friday after the orientation..huh~~

Pastry Project

Loo and Keegan's wedding cake
Chef and Tatiana


Our final product..at last!!

So happy when me and Wong finally finished our pastry project that assigned by Chef Roizz.. We stay back till late at night just to finish our project and I still remember that we stayed back until 11pm and we all went back quite late that night. I'm kinda worry for them who went back so late...But we are all willing to stay back so late, so I think that we are really committed and give our best. Few days past and I'm happy that finally my cake is done and nice..Beautiful!! wahahaha...
