It's week 6 @@

Dear diary,

See, I cant believe it's already week 6 and I'm still hanging around not starting my assignment yet. Well not that I havent started, I've completed one assignment and one assessment. And more are coming and they aint fast to complete. It takes a whole load of time and I really mean a whole load. Dont ever try to start it the day before eventhough you had all the information, trust me you will end up whole night editing and editing till the next morning of due date. ( Ask the pro here :P )

So, it's week 6 and one of each assignemnt and assessment is gone. Now that I gotta focus on the ones that comes next. This term is really fun though, may be because I've change my course =) My interested field make me feel energetic to do it. Like really wanna do it and better everytime. I dont know how long this would last, but I'm pretty sure I didnt regret on changing and I'm gonna do my bext out of what I can. In a few months time Im gonna learn all the techniques and moving on to the next level. ^^

Today's weather was cold. Its was like one of the winter days, it even rains in the evening. Luckily it was not raining when I finish work, otherwise I'll be wet all the way. It's quite busy today in the hotel, we can actually finish our shifts at 1pm, but then some rich ladies decided to have their high tea in the spa == So we have to stay a little longer to prep and send it down. Huh, its 2.10pm and we're finally done, but with a $10 tips, ok la, forgive you la ^^ hehe

To mom, 2 brothers and aunt that are oversea now, wear more clothes and have fun yea^^ Take more pictures for me and enjoy the trip =)

Work is fun^^

Dear diary,

Hi. I'm sure you will be suprise that why would I be here at this time. Shouldnt I be out there partying? Well, things kinda change a little bit when assignments come to deadline. Our fellows are busy doing wine and accountings assignments, thats why we didnt get out tonight. But let me ensure you one thing, we're gonna rock the city next week when the assignment is done, wahahahaha XD

So, tell you something about my workplace and what I did over the weekends =) The hotel I'm working in is a 5-stared hotel with a one hat restaurant. Pretty high standard and it's a fine dining french cuisine. But dont get restricted by the qualifications and awards the hotel has got. I'm going to tell you how funny and friendly the staffs were^^

Ernesto and Sumeet is the manager of the restaurant. They were both lovely and full of humour (of cuz not during the service, if you make mistake-- not gonna be very nice, got it?) and the other staffs were helpful. Learning practical things there requires courage and memories. Well I personally thinks that courage is the only thing I have to overcome. You have to be fearless to walk up to customer and ask what they want, not waiting until they snap their fingers and said hey can you get over here? Then the manager's face is not gonna be kind anymore @@

Some small occasions turned up during the service that I wanted to share it with you. There is me and Dan (one of the collegues) are making coffees and juice behind the dispense bar and Ernesto sort of walk in and said a brilliant phrase to us : 'Ladies, get me a cup of coffee with no sugar please because I'm sweet enough' Both of our movement were kind of pause and our face really LOL-ed == Okay, Ernesto, if you think you are sweet enough then here you go, I handed him the coffee and he looked pleased to make us laugh for a full 10 minutes back there~

Having a manager like that in your workplace and always joke around, you will feel like enjoying your job. And it's true that the environment are suppose to be like that in a restaurant. Not only the customers need to be happy but the staffs need to be happy and relax to motivate them to do it better^^ I'm gonna love this place and I really hope they will hire me.. pls???

I'll tell you one more thing. I accidentally served the former secretary of USA ~!!! First, I didnt know that she was that special class. Ernesto arrange me to serve them some beverages and I did as he said. I even remember she drank a glass of cranberry juice == After she left, ernesto pulled me aside and said : you have just served the former secretary of USA, good job. My jaw was hanging there and I was in a : 'what? are you serious?' mode. ==

Wow, that the advantage to work in a 5-star hotel. You get to get in touch with the high class people and you never know that you may be serving your idol one day^^ OMG I'm soooooooooooooooo waiting for that day.. (I know I'm dreaming, dont wake me up okay?) LOL

Hmmm, thats about that much I wanna tell you this week. Interesting right? hehe =) tell you more soon ^^

Half-way doing wine studies assignment
escaped, lol

Pool ~

Hey there I've decided to write in again. Due to the busy week I had and the broken-down-super-slow internet, I manage to have some time for you. Now that I've have some life out there only I realised that I really like to write in for some reason, may be that's the time I can deal with some words, who knows?

So, talking about life, we had a pretty fun night again wed night :) Fellows involved were crazy 4 (me, mina, adrian, zin), trang and nicky. Although it's just a few hours outing but it's satisfied enough to laugh all day. Craziness that we had were HUGE. Now why would I said that because I really doubt that anyone will do such nuts thingy besides us, LOL.

After we had dinner + Galaxy world (the place I got my new pet-stich, thanks to bro and trang^^), we went karaoke again. I know you always heard me going for singing but seriously places we can go other than clubbing at night is really limitted. So instead of night clubs we stuck ourselves in karaoke and I've proved that is better :p

Later on we went pool = snooker. Oh I love it ~ It's a new game for me and I learn it from our 2 masters - adrian and nicky . Thanks to them mina, zin and I are seriously interested and now we had one more place to hang out, haha^^ Dont think that pool is easy, it actually needs skill. The correct position, right strength to hit, body posture and a whole lot more~ hoho, another game to master :)

Well, Im looking forward to next wed, tell you more next week ^^

Ankle still in recovering process
And I had work on weekends
=((

Different CNY

Dear diary,

Sorry for didnt write in for so long cuz I've been busy this whole week. Class in college, party in city and working in hotel basically took up my whole week including weekends. It's a busy week but I feel energetic. I'm not sitting around at home boring and doing nothing which makes me go nuts all the time. Now I had classes, party and work and my life is about to start going on well^^

So, for your imformation, I'm having 9 classes this term which is wow a whole lot. Assignments will be killing me soon, but mom told me : ' you had 11 subjects in SPM what, this is nothing la ' I was like =.= ~ mom do you know how 'well' i did in SPM? LOL ~ Anyway I'll be alright I think, it's not individual assignment after all ^^

Party on wed night is the night that we all expecting^^ This is probably the day that we all can party whole night and wondering around in city together ~ Woot woot ~ Bowling, karaoke, clubbing, blah blah blah .. pretty whole lot, hehe ~ this is what we call college life =)) Dont jealous ah ~ @@

Right, working in a hotel on weekends isnt very easy especially when they are breakfast shift and the course is buffet style. Puff ~ And when you're not wearing the correct comfortable shoes, it's a disaster ~!!!! Never ever try to put on new shoes that doesnt fit you when you're working and especially when you need to walk a lot. It's killing me for 2 days ~ bleeding on the ankle and you stiil have to walk on your feet for 6 hours ~ T.T

Anyway, I've sort it out now, bought a pair of new shoes and let see how it works. You know what the manager called me just now asking why I didnt turn up for job today.. ^^ I feel like Im hired ( may be just my imagination) hahahaha XD Anyway Im going to apply for it~ Hope they hired me^^

What a great life is starting ~~ !!! ^^

Worst CNY~!!!

Dear diary,

Honestly I have no plan for this coming CNY. I'm in the land of 'no CNY celebrations' so it would be hard to find something to do on this Sunday. Probably I'll be hanging out with friends and have a movie and go for karaoke and hang around in chinatown and see what can I find out. Thats pretty much I can think of, blah~ And unfortunately this sunday was also valentine's day, so my aunt and uncle was kinda wanna celebrate themselves, left me and her sister to plan for our own, LOL.

So, first things first, I'm not in the environment of CNY, and I'm not around my family, and I'm not in my house, and I'm not in my hometown, and I'm loosing all my angpau (well actually I dont care about that). What a CNY is that? You call it CNY? I call it another normal sunday which had almost the same routine as those other sundays had. Plus I'm getting a job in Observatory and it's morning breakfast shift which means I have to wake up at 6 and arrive there before 7am. Ala, what a good occasion~ Second day of CNY, I had to work~!!! Good, come on god, is there anything else worst than this? Bring it on~!!! T___T

What to do? Well yes there is one thing I can do, buy a ticket and fly back. Wow, it sounds pretty interesting^^, but the result is, my head will be on the ground before I enjoy my CNY. So, let's face it, you dont have CNY~ Whatever it takes to make you feel like CNY, just do it, cuz you only had one day and the rest of your family have like one week. Hah.

Conclusion, I have only one phrase for you, my dear diary :
-This is my worst CNY ever in my entire life.-

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=))

Bored Bored Bored !!!!!!

Argh~ Im gonna go crazy ady. Its been raining since friday night and I was stuck at home for the whole day. What a boring weekend I had~

It rains and rains since the day I arrived in Sydney. And now it's still raining, I know I like raining, but this is way too much I think. But I pray hard that 2moro dont even rain a drop because thats my first early morning class. Oh please be sunny 2moro, will you ?

Haiz, what can I do? Anyone tell me pls? Im gonna go crazy ady~

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh~!!!!!!!!

Fight or you Die !!!

OH MY GOD !!!!!

Its been soooooooooooo long since I've update my blog, very truly sorry. Ive been enjoying and living in the comfort zone at home and everythong seems to be too lazy to do, hehe^^

So, Im back to Sydney land and It's been almost about 5 days. Everyday was quite interesting until now. Many things changed and I had to get used to it. I changed my course, thats the big matter. It affects my original plan here for getting PR and I'm not sure i still have the chance to be eligible to apply anymore. May be i can, but it needs time and until that long i need to figure out something that works.

Well, it's hard to make the decision actually. I'm not sure whether i will regret or not but i will try to stay focus on what i had to do now and dont look back. If not, i would kill meself for doing it wrong. It's true, do you ever have a feeling that you can make the decision yourself sometimes and when you decided to change, you regret. Thats the last thing i wanted in my life. It's not that this is something i can do it again or do it another time. This is it, I had only one chance to get it right and get it done.

Many issues were involved. My interest, the PR, my future, time, money and everything. I cant play around this time, i need to get head still and think of what i want now. Get serious and things are going on around, get smart and work hard. Earn some money amnd most important good reputation in everywhere especially big hotels that i can get my hands on. Let them see that im keen to work there and hope that they will continue hire me and i will have no worries after that. By now, I have to study hard and get my results good. The rest, it's up to destiny.

And now that i've changed, thats the only path i can walk on, there is no way back. Fight or you die !!!!!

Blood Donation

On the 11th of January 2010, I've done a good deed. I here officially announced that I had donated my first bag of blood in my entire life. Actually it's kinda syok.. lol

Woke up in the morning around 8am (by my mom) and got ready to meet up with my grandma and uncle to have bfast. Then we headed straight to hospital fatimah for check up.

2nd floor in the new phase is where the blood collection centre located. My uncle told me to take out my IC and register, but hoho i forget to bring.. well the nurse said it's ok.. I assumed I doesnt look like pendatang asing thats why she trusted me?? hehe XD

Written down my form and some health details, I just sat there and wait to be 'cucuk jari', haha.. Erm, it's kinda numb feeling la when the neddle cucuk, but no bid deal. The nurse then check my haemoglobin and suprisingly it's 14.6..

Wow~~ I didnt expectit to be so high, and the nurse said good, no prob to donate.. My mom was like ' hah? 14.6? ok, no doubt, straight away donate lah..' =.=ll .. My uncle even tease me and said 'aiya, so fat sure no prob la.. haha.. you scare ah?'

My answer is absolutely NO la.. doinkgel, donate blood also need to scare meh? So I just laid down - cucuk needle - blood danating - neddle pulled out - end of story^^ hoho so easy..

My aunt told me danate blood can slim down..

aunt: danate blood can slim down.

me: really??

aunt: yea, thats once a very fat man donate hs blood 4 times a year and he really slim down very much.

me: wow, can i donate until my ideal weight ah?

uncle: you crazy ah? one year maximum 4 times only.. danate more also knot ah..

me: cheh, one year 4 bags so little only, slim what la... =.=ll

Whatever.. thats my first experience of donating blood, hehe i must donate every year.. hmmm, my new year resolution.. wahahahaha XD

completely new year

Sorry for not renewing my post for so long cuz the feeling of home is just too good. Having the most familliar feelings for things and people here almost made me forget that Im actually just coming back for holiday. I feel like im getting more and more greedy. Can I stay here and dont go back???

Haiz, the answer is NO. ok, i know..

So, a completely new year means very different for me. It means I have a whole new year ahead to challenge for-- the course that im studying, the job that im working, the people im meeting and the situation im facing. Everything will have a minimal change and I of cuz have to adapt to it.

To be honest, Im just so glad to be at home. What else would I wish for? Watching my parents every single day, playing around with my brothers (and sometimes fights awhile, lol) and hanging out with all my beloved frens is the most enjoying moments I have here. Even just sitting on the sofa at home and breathing in the 'house smell' feels awesome .. XD

Passing a year means Im getting older, it also means that i have to be more responsible for myself and things around me. I cant fool around and let people to settle the things for me. huh, i guess thats the reason I dont want to grow up.. how nice being a child~~

Well, for now, im still enjoying one of my most memorable and precious moment with my family. Im gonna enjoy every single second and appreciate it^^

Happy New Year people^^
