Yesterday was a blast as I had a great time

I need a break now

2009-08-24T00:02:00.001+08:00

Finally...
The first semester of year 2 has ended

It's been a long journey I must say...
There is good and there is bad

The good thing is...
Working in the kitchen is really enjoying
everyday is a new day and everyday I learn something good
and the feeling of ending the practicum is kinda emotional as these semester has made each and one of us special

After the commis challenge, I guesse everyone should be proud of themselves
Quality food and qulity set-up on the buffet
And I'm so shocked that I have come this far to produce such good product

That experienced is something that nobody can describe how am I feeling right now

However, they do have it's bad thing..
which is, after being in these practicum,
I have seem not having enough time to spend with my closes ones
my family, my closes friends, my dereast hamsters, everyone

I'm soo sorry If this might hurt anyone of you
finally, I have the time to pay back all these things that I am missing with

It's been a great experienced for me that I do have the capabilities of becoming who I wanna be.
But for the time being...
It's time to laid back a bit and start spending time with all my loved ones
for now....
it's time for a long break...

Thank you for your time reading my entry, whoever you are

I promise one day i will upload photos of what I be doing these past few weeks...
Peace be upon you
:)

Gelang Patah / Pontian

2009-06-29T19:46:00.009+08:00

It's been a while since my last update
Truthfully, there's nothing great to update these past few weeks
Last week was my 1st day at the Production Kitchen

The environment was really - different
Fast-paced replenishment compared to what I've experienced during my time at the Baking & Pastry
Unfortunately, I struggle the 1st week

I can't believe I was so lost and confused of what things had happen around me
Nobody is to be blame but myslef
I was lost focused and deeply blank off
Why?
I'm not too sure either

I think I'm just mentally exhausted that's all
This week I finally got the momentum to go forward.
two more weeks left and I believe I am able to cope with it
:)

Last Saturday was a refreshing moment after a terrible week in the Production Kitchen
My aunt invite me to follow their family on a kampong trip at Johor Bahru.
That really is refreshing
Kampong is just the best way to release the tension that I'm having and it was the time to let it out.
Maybe that is the reason why I am able to regain my focus today in the kitchen

Here are some hightlight on my trip
to Malaysia's Kampong Experience

The top view of the Kampong at Gelang Patah, Johor

The view of the kampong at Pontian, Johor

It was so relaxing while we enjoying the scenery at the kampong,
By looking at the photos, you definitely know what exactly I mean
HAHAHA !!!
XP

In the Kampong, this is what I loved
Things that we can never experience in Singapore
a real life plantation at your our very HOUSE !!!

No lies,
here are the evidences...

Pineapple Crops

Lime Plantation.
Imagine You have it in your home.
You dont have to spend your money anymore.
all you need to do is to pluck, wash, and use it
:)

Damn..
if only I know this fruit in english
This fruit is much much nicer than rambutan
we called it Buah Bulasan
It's rare now to find
and I'm soo lucky to see it for myself
:)

Everyone should know this
Jambu Tree
XD

this durian has a weird shape inside it.
After eating it, this is how it looks like
Weird right ?!
But it taste super good !!!

Mangosteen
=)

Another view of the durian tree

This month is Rambutan season
just look at how it blooms !!!
Gorgeous Man !!!

It sounds funny but seriously,
this is the biggest jackfruit I've ever seen in my entire life
though I am aware it can be even bigger than this

They even have Laksa Leave at that kampung
Oh my Freaking GOD !!!
it soo fortunate !!!

Yes of course,
Kampong life is "gotong royong"
which mean helping out with one another

Therefore, after getting know one another better,
we were blessed with kampong food
Yummy !

Beef Satay
&
Spicy Fried Mee Hoon

This is tempoyak
Or should I say
Durian paste ( I might be wrong)
it taste like yogurt
but this is fresh and authentic
:)

and I'm loving it !!!
XD

This is the activity which I don't think we can experienced in Singapore
HAHAHA !!!
no offense guyz, but it really is true

harvesting the Rambutan !!!
HAHAHA !!!

Auntie Got caught right-handed
MuaHAHAHAHA !!!
XP

Now harvesting the magosteen
and of course

Taking the opprtunity to cut the durian
Great experiece man !

Last but not least....

WoooooooooooHooooooOOO !!!

Agree or disagree ???

OMG !!!

Grandma

2009-05-31T18:53:00.003+08:00

I am a patient guy
And normally I keep things to myself
But everthing has it's limit

Grandma is really reaching it's prime
We have to accept the fact coz that's life
But humans might lost it's limit

Grandma has been always negative
Each time we tried to make her happy
she always responds negatively

She never attacks me
But sometimes It's painful in my ears when she talks negative towards anything
be it my family, relatives, and things that crossed her mind

At times, I refrain from staying home often
all because of these reasons
but nowades I can't because I need rest after long day of school

Now, all I can do is tolerate and ignore all the comments
I cant do anything else
She's afterall...
My grandma

the one who raise me up to who I am today
I must never hurt her in anyway
Since I still can hold on, I will find some way to solve the matter as soon as possible
in a respectful way

I will be fine
I will
=)

The following week will commence the 1st day of the restaurant operation
I was station in the Baking & Pastry Kitchen for the 1st 3 weeks of the operations
and yesterday was our Mis en Place for our 1st operation

For those who don't know,
Mis en Place is describe for our preparation of the operation day

I have to say I had a good day with those mis en place yesterday
I was responsible for the pre-cooked food and item
Chef Lilian is our instructor and she such a nice person

She is really professional and treat everyone with respect
She guided us on quite number of dishes that we have to make
Yi Jie was with me too
Yay!
its soo good to have my partner working together in the same role
Simply because we both understand one another
=)

First we made Biscotti
hahas
Actually the Biscotti was already been baked
so our job was to cut it in slices
yeah, big deal right
But I'm telling you it is NOT easy
Its fragile
one wrong and you crush the whole biscuit
But good for us, we did a good job
:D

After that, we did something soo good!
We made our own chocolate !!!
HAHAHAS !!!

We tempered the chocolate till it crystallize
which gives a shining appearance of the chocolate
that makes the humans go "Yummy ! Chocolates !"
XD

So, done with the chocolate then we soak the biscotti with that chocolate
and left it to dry
gosh!
I really cant believe that I actually do something so good !!!

Last but not the least,
Chef Lilian instruct us to make glazed chocolate
yeah, we make another chocolate

Firstly, we soaked the gelatine in the ice cold water
While waiting the gelatine to get submerged,
we then start boiling the mixture of water and sugar
once it bring to a boil, we start adding the cocoa powder and cream
gosh, the smell...
It's so fragrance

After everything dissolved we add the gelatine and stir for awhile
and slowly we drained it and let it cool and stirring occasionally
hehe

other than that
we made lemon zest with glazed sugar
and it's so good

HAHAHAS

well, guess that's all I have for today
take care people
XD

The Next Step

2009-05-09T12:50:00.004+08:00

"I Had a very good lunch today.
Thank You Adam !
See you during operation
Keep Up the good work !"

After three weeks of Skills Camp,
I am so happy to hear my first ever compliments from Chef Jason
Well, it might just words to you...
but for me, It is the greatest moments ever

He's been very hard and without a doubt extreme strict towards me
And it is really worth the whacking !!!
Because yesterday skills test, I finallly made him pleased with my main course

I was assigned to make a Puree of Potato Soup for my soup
and Deep Poached Salmon in Bearnaise Sauce with Glazed Carrots & Saute French Beans and Pilaf Rice as my main course

My puree was just a satisfactory for him but it was okay after he gave me a constructive feedback to make it even better
And of course he was impressed with my main course

"Firstly, I have to say I like ur food presentation as it was very need and I feel like having a very good meal.

Your fish was well cook Adam. By looking at the texture, it's very tender and tasty.

Finally you did your glazed carrot well. Crunchy and sweet. That's what I want from my carrots.

Too Bad Adam, your French Beans is too salty.
(yeah, he criticised my beans but as usual, he gave me a good feedback to adjust the seasonings and I'm truly respect that)

hmm... Nice and fluffy Pilaf Rice you got for me. Very Good Adam

Well.... Overall, A great performance from you Adam but I have to say the marks pull you down because of your Bearnaise Sauce.

But anyway....
I Had a very good lunch today.
Thank You Adam !
See you during operation
Keep Up the good work ! "

I am soo flattered with my performance during the test
my hardwork really paid off well
this will definitely made me sleep peacefully during the weekends
=)

Yesterday marks the end of Skills Camp
Next week will be Kitchen Orientation and I am looking forward to it
Thank You for your time reading my blog
Had a great weekends
;)

Hell's Kitchen

2009-05-02T01:14:00.004+08:00

The 1st 2 weeks has been...
well....
it really is an eye opener in the kitchen life

Everything has to be in tip-top performance
and yeah
rumours are true
it's either you have it or not

As for me...
things has been alright for me
when you were trained disciplined from young, things will be just fine
I really happy that my parents treat me well
and I fully understand on what discipline is all about
In the kitchen I have to say that my performance are inconsistent
one dae I'm perform brillliantly
and the following is disastrous
well, that's life
you can't expect all things to be in your way

But I do treasure
Simply because, I learned what's right from wrong
Chefs in the academy does make things hard for us
But, I do appreciate of what they have done to me
Because I've learned a lot from them

It just got me even hungrier to excel the hell in the kitchen
everyday i got criticised, and i will learned
and when the time i got it right, they praised me
especially a praise by Chef Jason

I think among all chefs in TCA, he is one who is hard to please
and getting praise by him, it is really worth the effort
thank you Chef Jason for being hard on me...
Coz you made me learned from my mistakes

Yi Jie is my partner in the kitchen station
And I do like her
Though we dun perform the 1st dae
We still believe one another and kick some ass
the following day onwards
it just getting better and better
She is definitely an important person to me
and we will always be there to help things out
I am really happy to have a good teammate like herself
XD

Well.... I'm still survive for the 1st two weeks
and I can't wait for the third
I will keep on improving myself no matter how it takes
coz I know I'm in the correct path

=)

Orientation

2009-04-15T18:41:00.005+08:00

Had an orientation yesterday at the Temasek Culinary Academy
Truthfully, It's more like a lecturing session than it suppose to be
but overally, it is not that bad...

Well, the best part is....
From day 1 onwards, its all about cooking in the kitchen
HAHAHA !!!

Unlike in year 1, its all theory and It's sucks moreover on those topic that it's definitely not link in our diplomas
And now, finally I can do better in year 2 as we now learning things that are related to our diplomas
=)

During orientation, 1st few hours is the best part as they teach us on how to dress our chef's white in proper order...
all our dress is definitely not cool coz we're really had no clue on how to wear it
after all the guidance
Gosh, We look really good and professional

those who are slobbish turns out neat
ugly turns to beauty
fugly turns good-looking

I can see how high the standard is
and it is really a great privileged to have that opportunity
I am definitely looking forward next week
that is my 1st day of the year 2 in Temasek Culinary Academy

=)

I am so optimistic on my future career
Can I be there to overcome all the challenges?
Can I be Special?
Will my career be something that I am expecting?
this is gonna be interesting
my dreams is somewhere there to grab

So yeah
BRING IT ON !!!
I am Ready

XD

TP Practical Test

2009-04-07T18:05:00.005+08:00

4 April 2009

That date was a very intimidating experienced that I was able to overcome it
The day where it all marks on whether I'm a safe driver or the otherwise

Finally, my traffic police driving practical test fall on that date which was on Saturday morning at 11.45am
As usual, I was soo tensed up
Whenever there's a test, especially an exam
I will get tensed up so easily

Before the test, I was having a warm-up at 10.45am
that is an hour before the test begins
So an instructor took me for the warm-up

Right when the instructor approached me, he then asked me these...
"Hey, bro ! Take it easy pal !
Don't get too tensed up ya !
Everything will be just find..."

See, told you I was soo tensed up that it came too obvious for him to know
During the warm-up, things were going just fine.
Just that the anxiety I have to face when the tester approached me

"Oryte pal, you are doing fine !
Just take it easy yeah !
You have great chance of passing !
Just do your best !
Just think the tester is like an ordinary instructor..."

Another word of encouragement was given by the instructor after I had done with the warm up
The instructor is such a nice pal
With his word, at least I have a sense of security and courage to face the tester

Exactly 11.45am, I was in the Waiting area for the test.
Well, there were 11 people there waiting for the tester to call out their names
Damn !
Everyone was soo tensed up like me

At 11.55 am, a man called my name
"Muhammad Adam !"

Damn!
It was my turn to begin
The Tester name was Yeo Teck Beng
As I was expected, he looks so intimidating

So, he was then excort me to the car and begin with his briefing
During the briefing, I finally able to cool myself down as I realised that my tester wasn't that intimidating at all

So It began....
Firstly was the circuit test
I should say Circuit was not a problem coz I know Circuit is my strength and should make good use of that strength.

After that, then the most crucial part of the test where the tester will definitely penalised us on every wrong thing that we do
and that's the actual route

I was assigned to Route no. 9
Thank goodness the route was that not bad during the test
However, as I was reaching back to the centre
A lorry suddenly cut my lane during a right turn and force me to brake excessively

"Damn it! Why you cut my lane Without proper signal ?!
Can't you see I'm on Double plate ?!! "
I was so pissed off at that driver
I feel like killing him man !!!
Grrrrrrr !!!

The tester would either giving me chance (which I doubt so),
giving me 8 demerit points or worst Immediate Failure :(
While Back at the centre, I am soo terrified at the results especially thinking of the lorry incident...

About 5 minutes later, the tester came and showed me this......

Wooohooo !!!
I was soo happy he did not penalised me !!!
I passed my test !!!

"Ouh dear !!! Thank you Sir !!!
I thought you're going to penalised me on the lorry incident.... "

"Ah !!! nope, coz based on what I observed, you reacted defensively as you brake excessively to allow the lorry to pass through instead. Btw, its the lorry fault not you and You made a good decision to allow him passed instead"

Thank goodness my luck was on my side !!!
Now I am able to drive my own vehicle
hahas

Guess my hard work did pay off
=)

I Want My Ass Out From My House !!!

2009-03-17T15:24:00.003+08:00

Statement of Results has officially released
so I woke up at 9am and log in to my tp account
I was honestly terrified of the results because I know that some subjects I did not perform that well
That refers to my Marketing and Macroeconomics

After clicking the results, Damn thank goodness I passed all my subjects
It is indeed the most important thing that I have to achieve
It's kinda do or die as 2nd year will be freaking busy all day
I cant afford to repeat any topic coz it will affect my year 2 performance

And thankfully, I passed all the subjects and I'm soo happy now
terms of grades, I know I can perform better
However, though I'm no intention in doing a degree, guess I should be proud of my results

=)

______________________________________________________________

Now, It's holiday and it really kills me
Why?
Simply because I rotting my ass in my house and that's not cool man

Well, for those who like chilling at home, holiday will be a luxury for them
But as for me who likes to hang out and have fun outside, it's a total bore right now
Gosh, I need to plan something to enjoy the holiday now
If not with friends, I don't mind going out and enjoy on my own !!!
HAHAHA !!!

I'm used to it though
And I'm dying to eat outside rather than cooking myself at home
I want to be pampered
:(

Anyway, Saturday 21 March 09 will definitely hanging out with some great friends
HAHAHA !!!
I can't wait for that
Weeeee !!!

But for now, I guess I need to go out somewhere while waiting for Saturday
damn !!!
:(

Happy for Them

2009-03-06T16:07:00.002+08:00

Today had a conversation with Aishah in MSN
A friend and a classmate back to the days in ITE.

It's been such a long time since we had a long chat long period ago
it was indeed a great information to hear that majority of my close mates had finally got themselves a place in the poly and some got themselves in the private schools

Aishah was soo happy that she got a Diploma in Business Management in Temasek Polytechnic
Yeah, it's really hard to get that course and she made it....
I couldn't describe how happy I was when she got the course
So yeah, happily I congratulate her and wish her good luck in the course as more challenging outcome awaits her....

After that, I asked her how's the others doing
she then told me there are doing fine and they got themselves a diploma too
Gosh... I am so delighted to hear such a great news from them
Apart from Aishah, Rozanna got herself a Diploma in Hospitality & Tourism Management in Nanyang Polytechnic and Emas Atikah got herself a Diploma in Accounting at PSB Academy

I'm soo happy for them man
gosh !
hahas

Lolx, Aishah told me that she can see me again in Poly pretty soon
But "sayang seh" ("poor thing" in english) I will be in Temasek Culinary Academy most of the time in my Year 2 instead of Business School

But don't worry yeah, one day I drop by to the school and we shall have a good lunch together yeah !!!

Woohooo !!!

Good Luck my friends
Once again, I am soo happy for all of you
One day we shall meet again and have lunch together

Pangeran Cinta lyrics

Detik.. detik berganti dengan detik
Menitpun silih berganti
Hari-hari pun terus berganti
Bulan-bulan juga terus berganti
Jaman-jaman pun terus berubah
Hidup ini juga pasti mati

Semua ini pasti akan musnah
Tetapi tidak cintaku padamu
Karena aku sang pangeran cinta

Malam malam diganti dengan pagi
Pagipun jadi siang
Tahun-tahunpun berganti abad
Yang mudapun pasti menjadi tua
Musim-musim pun terus berganti
Hidup ini juga pasti mati

Tak akan ada yang abadi
Tak akan ada yang kekal

OCBC Singapore Cycle 2009

2009-02-27T00:50:00.003+08:00

22 February 2009

The date marks an unforgetable experienced for me
Ever since I stopped playing sports as I realised there's no point playing football as my career,
I have never imagined that I would do something special with my current fitness

OCBC Singapore Cycle 2009 has made me realised that nothing is impossible to cycle beyond your current limits
Myself alongwith Amy and Rasyidah has put our line to test the challenge of finishing the 40km cycling marathon

We start at approximately at 8am and it was such a freaking huge crowd, putting their line to overcome the challenge too.
so starts at 8am and we finished it at 10am plus....

it was really unexpected that I'm able to clear the distance by 2 hour...
That was really a motivating moments to show that I'm still able to do something that I have not done since my last experience in secondary school days when I was an athletics

Wow!
What a day I must say
Now, I'm considering on taking part again next season
and this time, it's gonna be 50km instead
Yeah

I have done it within 40km
and soon I will do it within another 10km
:)

Well...
Here are some pictures we took before the race

Myself with Rasyidah getting ready for the race

Now with Amy Chen

Guess that's all I have for today
Thank you for your time
whoever you are who is reading my blog
Have a great Day !!!
XD

Carpe Diem

HaHaHa !!!

It's been outdated, but I don't care !!!
I must put this thing in my blog for great memories

During the Fasting month in Ramadhan,
as we were about to celebrate our One month of victory,
I drop by at my aunt's place baking some malay traditional pastries
HaHas

We bake Pineapple Tarts and Kuih Makmur
Wow...
It's is never an easy thing to do

Such A Himbo

2008-12-09T18:39:00.003+08:00

Today I had two mid-term test D:
Firstly, I had my Food Safety and Hygiene online test
hmm... I passed but I was expecting a higher grade than what I get
but what's done is done and I'm still satisfy with the results
:D

The second one was a killer
Macroeconomics :(
But, I think this time I did quite okay
Compared on the past, Its really bizzare when I did badly for my Microeconomics
Thank goodness Macro I was able to answer all the question
But kind of dissapointed with myself on the calculation section
Wasn't expecting government's budget and trading balance concept to come out and I got screwed by it
:(

Whatever it is, I'm left with one more paper which is tomorrow!
And enjoy my time at Malaysia on Friday
Yippee !!!

Ouh yeah !!!
Today was soo himbotic sia !!!
Here's the story

After the test, I went back home with Ginelle PaPaya
So while waiting for the bus, we went to talk crap as usual
Bus Service 168 was a pain in the ass at all time
we have to wait approximately 15 minutes for that freaking bus everyday
very frustating to wait such a long time especially in the humid weather when the clock strikes 3pm.
While we were talking, one Ah Pek (old man) were cycling past us and this Papaya was too engross with the Ah Pek's doggy in the Bike's front basket

"Ouh my god ! Adam look at that cute little doggy.
SOO CuTE !!
He looks exactly like Hao Qing !" That's what she told me.

So I replied... " HAHAHA !!! yeah hor... Hey, whatever it is...
please adjust your lip-pierce now or we will miss the.........."

As I was about to finished up my last sentenced, a double-decker bus just passed through us.

"OUG GREAT !!!
GINELLE, WE JUST MISSED THE BUS !!! "

we laughed "HAHAHAHAHA !!!"
-_-"

Ouh my god, what a himbotic experienced sia !!!!
and bimbotic for Ginelle Papaya
Therefore, we end up waiting for the bus for another 15-20 minutes
that's makes a total of half-and-hour record
HAHAHAHAHA !!!!

gosh, so embarassing..
thank goodness there were just both of us in the bus-stop

ouh my tian....
need to start revising for the next text !!!
D:

Take care people !!!
Enjoy ur holidays to whoever is having it now !!!
XD

I bought Cookies !!!
MMMMMmmmmmmmm........
:P

Asia On The Edge

2008-11-30T23:06:00.005+08:00

Gosh !!!
Seriously I'm soo proud to be an asian
I am !!!
Really !!!

After attending insights session with 2 artists on weekends,
I'm really touched by their stories and their experiences in bringing asia to the top
Yesterday's Insights was Chef Gene Gonzalez
A successful Chef and a well-known for his traditional Phillippine Cuisines

He shared with us the story of phillippines culture and why the food is like this and like that
I'm really surprised that Phillippines culture is very authentic and it really changed my thought of Phillippines food and culture

Today's one is food creation artist Ayako Suwa...
She's the best I guess
an all-rounder
The moments she expressed herself, I can really feel the passion she put to his creation
She's not a chef,
she's not an artist,
she's not a photographer nor even a designer

She's practically everything
she is soo unique with her own style
and with her calibre, she is still a pioneer in her creation of food where up till now, no one has followed her style

It is indeed an education weekend for me in respecting other people culture
It is truly an unforgetable experience to have met such wonderful artists.

Here are some of the pictures I've taken during my journey at The Arts House

Gene Gonzalez letting us to taste
the Phillipines Delicates

This is how Ayako Suwa
arrange her dining tables

Just look how unique the presentation of the food

This one is my favourite

A Portrait of one of her food creation

Well, till here I shall end
take care people

This two picture will be treasured forever :)
love u both XD
thanks for the sharings....

With Chef Gene Gonzalez
The Phillippine Masters

Ayako Suwa
The Food Perfectionists

It was fun though it was only three of us...
While Afiq and Ehsan were unable to turn up,
we're just enjoy ourselves out there at Geylang Serai.

Hmm....
As usual, the place is cramp with people !!!
However, I've realised the atmosphere was not the same as it used to be
Probably it is due to the upgrading causes

especially with the 16th Excos...

Though there are bad times,
every moment of it I treasured them
through all those bad times, it kept me strong and make me realise all the mistakes I made
And with that, I correct it as much as I can and excel

Along with the good times we had with each other,
it always been an unforgetable experience that we had

well...
Guess everyone's are busy with their own goal

Leon:
He is now on national service with the Civil Defence.
HaHaHa...
Heard that he is doing fine at the moment.
Well, I wish him good luck with his endeavour on whatever he is doing and really hope to meet him for a dinner one day :)

Keith, Shariman and Boey:
All the three of them are on service with the Army.
Lolx...
I'm so happy to hear that they are doing great at the camp though the training has been very exhausting.
Gosh, after what keith has told me about his training, it's very tiring
lolx
XD

Wen Qiang:
I'm so happy for him that he's continueing his studies in the Republic Polytechnic
After talking with him, I can sense he is coping well out there with his new classmates and adapting really fast in the new environment.

2008-08-29T00:30:00.002+08:00

Exam has finally over !!!
YIPEE !!!

Now it's time to relax after long period of hard work
hmm... Had my last paper today
Yup It's Food Science & Product Knowledge Paper

well... I really have to admit
The paper was relatively easy to answer for those who have studied
The questions were quite straight-forward
But there's one incident that really made me shocked like hell

It is a two-hour Paper...
And ouh my god !!!
Within just half an hour,
Majority of them have finished !!!

One by one, every single one of the student had finished up the paper and leave the examination room
Is it really that easy ???
Im very shocked as it's my 1st ever experience that a large no. of them have completed it by juz 30 mins out of 2 hours...

gosh...
haha... it's not an attack or anything..
but it's just a new experience to see such occasion
haha
good luck then for their results
:)

30 mins is like I'm still in Section A
lolx
cause since it's 2 hour, I rather take my time and be cautious of the questions I've answer
HAHAHA
XD

hee...
Now, exams over but Ramadhan's coming
lyke... less than a week
ARGH !!!!!!
No food during the day
:(

A Day In A School

2008-08-23T11:55:00.004+08:00

Yesterday had my Econs Paper
well... Hate to say it but it's just a killer
lost 10 marks for section D for applying the wrong concept
How can I be so careless...
:(

Really spoilt my mood
just hoping I passed that paper and need not have to turn up for supplementary paper
:(

It really kills my mood
sorrie to all my classmate if my mood was not at the usual self
every one had it's set-back at times

Really have to buck-up and do well for the next paper which is the Organizational Behaviour on Monday
2 days from now
MUG MUG MUG
:(

So relax my time at Toa Payoh for awhile by eating Japanese food at one of my favourite food court
Fork & Spoon !!!
Yummy
Had Salmon Ramen and Miso SouP !!!
That really chill me up with its intense flavour
:)

While its very near to my Previous School
decided to have a surprise visit to ITE Bishan
HAHAHA
coincidenally, SC was having rehearsal for Teacher's Day
while The new Councillors were having their oath-taking Session

Gosh, I'm soo happy to see them working together
it reminds me of my previous day in SC as well as my beautiful memories I had in that special premises

Everyone's is reallly fine and happy to see me
had my good time spending with them,
talk to them, spend time with them, joke, laugh, sarcastic to them, etc
HaHaHa

even Hairul too...
yeah though we had some conflicts on some various matter,
at least we did shake hands and said hello
at least minimum respect was there and I appreciate that
I really happy to see him too though
but life goes on

new councillors
Well, to my opinion
there are fast-learners which is a very strong point in them
guess they need time to gel up and get to knoe their members as a family
:)

that's about all I guess for today
Need to mug for next paper
can't afford to waste this one
Take Care
:D
