Last day

Yeah, basically you knew what Im gonna say.

Yes this is the last day of college that I went in tired mood. I so wanted to enjoy it, But Im just too tired due to the over used energy last night having fun with toothpick, hippo and chimpanzee :))

Finishing up the model for accommodation and prepare for HR final test is basically what we're doing the whole night. Minus the crapping, minus the dinner and minus the judo with chimp xD

3 of them were partially sick. Having running nose, blocked nose and chimp was having the worse i guess. Poor him :(( and both the ladies too, having to do so many work themselves. And Im there wondering around reading for test and luckily I didnt have flu. Or else, my face would be the worst i guess @@

So, wraping up our 4th term and here we head to out industry placement which will last for 6 months. You have to be officially hired by an organisation and work your way through until the very end of term 6. Then your big day is comin, the graduation :)) Woot woot, getting advanced diploma at the age of 20, hee pretty good deal eh xD

I cant believe how am I gonna survive without college. I mean without seeing my crazy but freakin lovely honies and just work and home for 5 days, gosh that's gonna kill some of my body cells >"< But I would for sure hang out with you guys when Im having off, I promise :D

Okay, full time job here we come !!!

But before that, it's clubbin time :)) Hah ! gonna go for some drink and dance first before I start my painful 6am job !!! Pls, I'm seriously wondering when can I stop waking up at 6am in th the freakin cold morning, I wanted my sweet dreams and warm blanket. Eventhough I know summer is coming, but still waking up in such early morning wasnt my habit nor I'm liking it in anyway.

Sadly I just have to accept the fact that if it's not because of my lovely workmates in hotel and the salary Im getting, I wouldnt give a shit about waking up from my dreams so early ARGH ~! Calm down michelle, think about the money and your workmates and your funny managers, hah you feel better :D

*Oh yeah btw today was my first day wearing contacts as well, pretty dry eyes >"< But it wasnt hard though, better than what I expected, heeeee :D

Last 3 days

So, our 4th term had come to an end. Again.

It's unbelievable that time fleed so fast. I wouldn't believe it's the last week we would stay together in class anymore :( All the happy times while we're having break, fighting times in class while the lecture wasnt paying attention, nervous time while exams are around the corner and we havent study at all. Oh, I'm gonna miss it. And miss it so badly :(

To be honest, when I first came to this college, it wasn't what I imagine of. Probably I should say quite disappointed with the facilities. They doesn't provide sports, or real lecture halls or anything like a real traditional college would do. But, due to the amazing people behind that is trying their very best to make it looks like, I would give in :)

No matter how bad the surrounding is, when you're meeting with great awesome people, everything doesnt matter anymore. Because in the end what we care the most is who we are with. All the lectures that brought us so much knowlegde and real life practises, friends we meet all around the world that brings us joy and coloured our life like rainbow.

You might complain about things but in the end you realised, all that incomplete is the little things you would remember and crap about when you're out of college. If everything is too perfect, you will not even realise you're living your life.

Assignments that have been ruining our sleeping life for every single term, thanks to you that make up so much fun for us. It's because of this we all came together and have time to spend together, topics to chat with. And we still will (crap ! still have degree to go >"<) be appreciate eventhough you often ruin our life and sweet dreams :)))

Hahaha, I'm not a very touching person that would go very deeply into tears and stuff, so here I'm about to end and enjoy the last 3 days with all my honiessssssssssssssssssssssss

New life era, I'm comin' :D

Time to get started

Time flies. This is so true.

Past few weeks had happened a lot and I dont like ending my 4th term. College had been so nice and well of cuz thats my gang that made up all of it ;))

Assignments are dued and exams are creeping in so wouldnt be comin up so often. Hah, but my hanging outs wouldnt be less. Hohoho, how can you stop hanging out? You would be bored to death man xD

So wish me luck in burning midnight oil yeh? ;))

Holidays end with many assignments undone =(

Dear diary,

I knew I shouldnt do this but I just cant control myself. When there is a holiday, I would have just slack it and I dont know why. May be because there is always a 2moro in my mind that said, do it 2moro. I didnt want this neither choose this, but I feel like I just cant control myself to focus on assignment. Shit.

A one week holiday, and I'm just done with 2 assignments. =(

Another side of michelle >
Wah great michelle, how hardworking you are. Argh !!! Time is creeping and you're just as relax as usual, didnt sense the emergency of completing your work, what on earth happen to you? I would have just answer you, I dont know =(

Ok, now that the college starts and you had to go for class and work. Well manage you time well, dont mess things up again (what I mean is Dont mess your sleeping time up). I knew you tend to stay up late and finish it, but remember you had class in the morning, dont wear panda eyes to class.

Woooooo, what should I do, someone do tell me !!!!!

Back to those stupid assignments T.T

I love Brasserie !!!

Dear diary,

It's always a pleasure to have friday in the week. This is the day that I'll be having restaurant training practical in brasserie (college training restaurant) with a great team and our great teacher - Billy. He is a very professional but doesnt lose any humour teacher. By the way you work your way through and under his observation, you will get full feedback and he'll guide you to the best way.

I've learn a lot from him especially the fine dining service that you will be expected in 5 stars hotels. He was one of the founder of cocktails in Australia 10 years ago and had been travelled around the world to improve himself. He is even the management team for the dubai clubs. OMG !!! And he actually said that if I wanna go dubai, tell him, he can arrange it for me. My god !!! where to find this kind of teacher ??? love you billy ^^

So, back to brasserie. We had a great night today. Everyone was helpful and our service was smooth. Althought I had a 8 person table, but it turns out good =) Everyone was helping out and we work as a team. The chef even made us tiramisu dessert, hohoho ~ yum ~

Seriously Im gonna miss brasserie after this term cuz we wont be in this practical anymore after that =(( Im gonna miss everyone and miss the service and miss Billy a whole lot T.T oh gosh I really have to appreciate this few weeks left and do my very very best. I promise I will use all my skills and professional experience in my future, I wont let you down Billy =) I'm proud to have you as my teacher xD

First day of College~

Tired. Tired is the word I had after the first day of college. Got up at 6.30am and I cant even sleep yesterday night until 1 something. Terrible preparation for first day of college. Anyway today was fun. Having my last kitchen operation with my beloved chef Jason was worth I woke up so early and go for this class. He is my previous term lecturer and he pretty good. I passed all my kitchen ops and he did really give good compliments about me, thanks chef^^

So, we cooked lamb shank and pork cutlet for the whole session in Crows Nest Kitchen. It was fun although there were just 4 of us (sadly we have to clean up the whole kitchen, T___T) and chef was in very very good mood. May be it's because the first day? Im sorry I didnt take down the pictures for you guys but let me tell you, the taste is AWESOME~!!! yummy~ I ate the lamb as lunch and decided to have the pork for bfast 2moro (would it be too full? LOL) .

4 of us took the same bus to college and jason left to city. I met up with ken and a whole lot of people, whoa it feels good to be back really. It feels familliar =) I also met up with whole lots of admins to finally receive my new timetable and get my course transfer done. Phew~~ hard work, running around in college but it's kinda fun, meeting everyone there^^It will be fun starting now onwards, hoho.

I'm more energetic and I'll be looking forward to class~ yiiipeeee=))

Goodbye Term 2

Should all aquaintance be forgot ....

Gah~~ It's just the end of term 2. But we will be seperating for about 2 months, kinda sad case .. =((

Today is the last day of college and I'm having the last service with our beloved chef -- Jason. After today, we will not be joking around at college, making fun of each other and have breaks together .. It's all a 2-month-thing again.

Well, thanks guys for giving me such a great and precious memory when I'm in school. I know I cant be joking around without you guys (especially those who bully me, LOL). Frankly, I'm the smallest among all of you and you guys really take good care of me. Thanks to all the brothers and sisters^^ Love you all so much... muah~~

Haih, dont worry. We will have a big party before everyone actually scattered, LOL. We still have plans to go for ice-skating, the sunny beach, dinner, and of cuz you guys favourite--clubbing. I wonder what's so great about drinking?? alcohol really makes you feel so good?? =.=ll

Almost everyone is going back to their hometown except for a few. So good luck and all the best. Hope to see you guys back in one piece after 2 months, hehe... choi ~~!!!

Happy Holidays My Dear Frens ~~~!!!! ^^

FirsT week is FUN^^

First week of college was kinda fun .. cuz it's still new and fresh to everyone^^ Each subject was new except kitchen operations, which is good. we get to know new frens and new lecturers (i miss bernard so much T_T) but anyway i found the second bernard>>>anthony who teaches us Infromation technology. He was also funny and makes our class go live so that it didnt seem boring.. its FUN^^

It was only the second day of college, we already received this HEAVY AND HOLLY THICK TEXTBOOKS !!!!!

my godness .. how am I gonna read that through?? we are getting textbooks (which is the first 2 thick books) only in this term, we didnt even have a single one last term. but luckily the lecturer told us that we dont need to bring those book to college, YAY!! we only need to read it at home and it's mainly for extra knowledge and referencing, wahahaha =]

last thursday, we went Vibe Hotel for our room division class. IT only sayd 'room division', but IT IS HOUSEKEEPING!!! and it means it's like maids job .. we have to clean up the room from top to toe. starting with cleaning the high ceiling, wipe the tables and chairs, make the bed, change the linens, wash the toilets, bla bla bla .. its so tiring. Now, i start to appreaciate the housekeeping department, what a tough job it is~~

I've been staying in hotels for so many times and this is the only the first time i notice the room so throughly. making sure every glass is dust-free, polish the basin, water tap and mirror in bathroom, make the bed nice and change the linen of everything. GODNESS!! i didnt even do these things at home and now i'm doing it for other people. my parents are not gonna believe it. but u know wat?? just try it and you will know ...

erm, too much fun this week in class chatting with frens and new lecturer. i feel like we're getting closer and know each other more and more. Good news huh?? hehe^^anyway, thats a good start for term 2, guys let's work hard together^^

GAMBATEH!!!!!

FirsT day of CollegE

Monday-- also the first day of college in term 2.

we had introduction to human resourse management subject this morning at 11am. i promised fatiha to wait for her in college at 10.30am before going to another building to have our class. but she didnt turned up until 10.55am. my god. you was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo LATE . we're almost late for the class, but luckily today was the first lesson, the lecturer was still giving intro when we arrived. whuuu~~

this class was quite boring. the lecturer, allison was a britain and she explain everything too detail. it makes me feel bored. i'm sure we all know what the phrase means, but she keep on explaining as if we dont understand.. duh~~ but anyway, she's still a lovely teacher^^ nice to meet you =](lulu got a new haircut, nice XD)

after our class, me and janet went to office works to get some folders for our future assignments use and we met kevin on the way. after grabbing some stationeries and folders, we headed home seperately. i went to buy some fruits and wanted to buy my conditioner. but the price was like $26 per bottle. =.=ll does it worth it?? whatever, i'm gonna consult my 'beautysian' mummy whether to buy it or not, hehe^^

thats all, one more thing---i was suppose to turn up for jojo's birthday party but i had a morning class 2moro, so didnt go in the end. sorry jojo, i promise i will go crazy with you next time i go city^^anyway HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOJO !!!

kitchen practical class

I, offcially announced that I passed my kitchen practical class today. HURRAY !!!

Today was my second day of last week in term 1, which was also my kitchen practical assessment day. We all were so nervous (until fatiha also forgot to bring her knife set into the kitchen =.=) In the past 11 weeks, we enjoy a lot when having this class with our chef--Simone. She is a lovely, funny and experienced chef and we all like her^^

But with the way she just stand there and observe what we are doing during the whole assessment is really really SCARY. We were given half and hour to take our ingredients ready & 3 and 1/2 hours to present all our dishes. That was also included when you stuffs up anything in between which like i did to my pastry, its burnt T_T.

I started my assessment by rolling the pastry first. After putting it in a some sort of star shape tray which we suppose to use, i left it in the oven and off to poach my egg. When i was about to finish plating my egg for Simone to check, i realised that my pastry was still in the oven.

Shit! I know for sure it's already burnt, so i take it out quickly and say bye bye to it (although it not very black but it still not nice for presentation, T_T). I re-do the new one with extra careful immediately. Process of making the meringue was really tiring. Especially my first trial was just a piece of rubbish. Beating my egg white until my hand gone paining but it didnt seems to work fluffly as it should. So and AGAIN, i say bye bye to it. Back to the coolroom and bring out another 2 eggs. This time it works^^ Beat up my meringue (although my hand feel like dropping out) nicely and squeeze it on my beautiful meringue tart. yummy~~~

Later that, mayonnaise making, pecision cuts and BLT sandwich was kinda smooth .. although the pecision cuts were taking like half and hour. We were not allowed to use ruler and cut carrots into 3 different measurements :

1. 3mm x 3mm x 40mm

2. 8mm x 8mm x 8mm(cube)

3. 4mm x 4mm x 20mm / 4mm x 4mm x 40mm

My god, without a ruler was like you are not able to cut it at all. But i was smart, hehe^^ i measured the lengths on my hand at home before, so i know how long should i cut. And for the results, Simone said mine was PERFECT !!! wahahahaha=)

Then came up the BLT. well it was ok actually, everything went well except that i cutted it in square shape instead of triangle like everyone does which seems like a bit odd. but anyway it was still a sandwich^^. Finishing my BLT as last dish to present, off we all for break and free from Simone staring at us like previous 3 and 1/2 hours. it was kinda scary and really STRESS.

After the break was cleaning up and oral questioning. I was the first. Let me tell you, i was SO SO SO nervous. Simone gave me feedback on the dishes presented just now and ask a few questions of this subject. Luckily, I PASSED^^

Return to cleaning up and we finished quite early today. So i ran upstairs to grab my phone and snap a few pictures of the kitchen (p/s: phones are not allowed in kitchen but since this is last day, Simone said yes^^)

Tada, out back kitchen~~

Crazy stoves~~

Just a small part of plates~~trust me there are more~~

Finally, our class photo with Simone=)(from left: oscar, fatiha, Simone, me, alex)

This was the last cooking class with Simone.We will be having her in kitchen studies class in term 2, so we still meet^^ I had Jason for next term cooking class, i wonder who is he/she???
