Term 6 of Taylor's

Hey there everyone. I realized that i have not been blogging for a while now.
Been really busy with college! Last term now in Taylor's. I'm happy and sad at the same time. I'm happy that i'll be graduating with a diploma in my hands in just less than 2 months. But at the same time sad... cause i have had such a good journey here. It was fun and exciting, and i cherish every minute of it! So much has happened to me for the past 2 years. And i believe it has helped me to change, in a good way! :)

So anyway in term6, we no longer have pastry class. Which is a huge bummer for me. Was looking forward for more pastry. But on the other hand, for our kitchen class, we need to serve 3 course now, ususally we just serve 2 course for 1 pax. Now 3 course for 2 pax each~ what a major leap, but then with the addition, we get to bring our own commis! Wheeee~~ trust me. Finding commis is not an easy thing to do! Now that i think of it, whoever i commis for before when i was a junior must be a really happy person! Lucky you huh? XD

Other than that, i passed up my Professional Report. It's basically a report on our industrial training and blablabla. Everyone was basically and literally going coo-coo about it. Hahaha~ I wrote a report about cheese. Now that i think of it, i should have write on vanilla beans, or gelatin. Hmmmm.........

Oh and the subjects are quite interesting. We have sugar pulling class, and entrepreneurship which requires us to plan opening our very own business. Including the start up capital, location, competitors, uniforms, shifts and all that. Interesting but of course requires lots of group meeting again. Hahaha...... But that's fine. Since i have no class on mondays and fridays! Wheee~

Bonjour!

Hey peeps. How's it going? A few days ago, Tuesday the 20th to be specific, Taylor's had it's French week(again)! And this time, our batch was asked to create a specific monument that can be found in France of course! We are free to use any kind of materials that we can possibly think of. It just needs to be at least 30cm. Me and my group mates chose to create the Statue of Liberty, the one in Luxembourg Garden.

After discussing with each other, we came to a decision of making our statue from dead man dough!
And this is how it goes:

The rough scratch of how it looks like.

The head.

The dress~

And the final product!

"Life"

Guys, and girls. Let me tell you something about life. Life can be great at times. It's wonderful, beautiful, astonishing, miraculous, stunning, breath-taking, adventurous, magnificent, superb, amazing, awesome, fantastic, brilliant, splendid, remarkable, tremendous, overwhelming you name it! But then on the other hand, comes the disappointment. Sadness, sorrow, depression, misery, regrets, mistakes, lies, fake-promises, fake-smiles, fake-feelings, tears, anger and grief. Anyway you get my point.

Life is full of disappointments. The truth hurts. Even when you think it won't, it still does. I guess the main reason to why so many people(including me) get disappointed all the time is because we put our hopes so high up and when truth comes by for a visit, we feel the pain. The bitter bitter truth. When your so-called-friends aren't even there when you need them most. They don't care about you. That moment when you are being serious and they just make a joke out of it, and all you can do is laugh back and pretend everything is okay when you know it best. You know it won't be okay. And all you can do is run home and lock yourself in your room. Crying on your pillow every freaking night. And coming back to society in the morning wearing your 'happy mask'. People betray you, broken promises, backstabbers.

Some people will come into your life and bring colours, make you feel that it's worth the fight. Say sweet things to you and give you hope. But then people change from time to time. Yesterday you know them more than you know yourself. Tomorrow that person is a complete stranger. People change, way too fast. Some to become better ones and some otherwise. Either way they still change. The thing about photographs is that it will NEVER change, even though the person did.

When you feel like there's no one to talk to, you feel all alone and empty. Feel like life is pointless, meaningless. It even makes you feel worthless. But don't be. Because by the end of the day, what matters most is how you see yourself. Don't let others get in your way, don't let them tell you that you can't do it. Believe in yourself! Everyone needs to have some sort of faith in something. Cause without a simple faith, one simply cannot go on with his life. He's a goner.

And also, you would have to forgive me that i get really moody really fast. It's just that people around me keeps on annoying me. They just push me to my nerve and always put the blame on me. They don't understand what i am going through. They have no idea. And when i get all sad and depressed, they tell me not to emo when in fact, its them who made me this way.

Zodiacs n whatevs

Allo~ Oh thank god im finally back here! I've been wanting to write here since last week but then i had to hold that urge down cause this week is a really really busy week. I had 5 mid-terms and a few upcoming projects due next week.

Anyway not the main idea of the story. I'm here to talk about horoscope todayy... Why you ask? Cause me and my classmates had this random talk the other day. How each zodiac can affect each and every individual. At first i was not really into this kinda thing.

So i got home curious and all. And i realized that these horoscopes are super true after all!
I'm a scorpio and this is how scorpio woman are like:

1. We are very mysterious cause we are highly secretive. You may think you know us but you will never know how we feel inside.
2. We are good mind readers. We know what's going inside of your head. So don't even think to play and fool us.
3. We are very loyal and passionate and we expect others to be the same. If you treat us good, we will do likewise. And vice versa.
4. We don't hold back in relationships. When we love, we love deeply and intensely. So don't go breaking our hearts.

Anyway that's what i feel is true. There are plenty more infos and such. But still they are true. Haha... So what does YOUR horoscope say about you??? =]

Term 5! (The Beginning)

Yoohoooo~~~ Happy new year to everyone out there. Hopefully this year would be a better year. Hehe... Anywhooo.... Everyone is back to school and work. So that applies to me too. I started my college life AGAIN for 2 days now. Truth be told i wasn't looking forward for it. I was like nooo.... i dont wanna go back to college. Hahaha..... But now that i'm in it, i'm okay. LOL.

The up side is i get to see my friends again after almost 4 months of not seeing them. I found out today when i was in class writing down notes my hands was shaky. It's been too long since i last write. Haha... right now my penmanship sucks. It never was nice to begin with. hehe....

So anyway we had pastry class yesterday and we all made "Sacher Torte". Very simple but delicious. First chef said we can bring all the cakes home we were like yayyy.... Then later on he said it's gonna be used for lunch service so we went like awhhhhhh :(((
So this one is my Sacher. So messy. Haha~




And today! We had artistry class. We learned bread weaving and we made bread basket. Like literally. A basket made out of bread! Hahaha..... Very interesting. To my surprise, term 5 is actually quite fun. (So far!)
That's not baked yet FYI. haha~

Christmas Spirit! :D

Heyllo there people~ How are you all doing on this fine day? I haven't updated recently cause there wasn't really much to tell. Life's been boring. Like seriously. But on the bright side! Tomorrow's my last day of working in Eastern & Oriental Hotel. After 3 months here i'm finally ending tomorrow! Wheee~~~ Can't wait.


For some specific reason which i do not know of, im so excited to end my training. I can't wait to go back home to Medan. And then singapore for the new year. Gosh i haven't been to singapore in ages. I wonder whyyy...... But anyway, i'm psyched for 2012. I have a feeling that it's gonna be a good year. I feel that something good is gonna happen. I just feeeel it!!!! Teehee~~




I even got a whole list of things i wanna bake this coming holiday~ Christmas theme!!!

First of i wanna bake a log cake. I tried to make it last year but it failed (twice)! I don't care i'm gonna make it again this year.




Then i'm gonna practise making my macaroons.



OOOOO!!! Another thing i wanna make is the croquembouche! Well at least i'm gonna try. Teehee~ So stay tuned! When i bake it, i'll post it up in my other blog! Tchao's people! Get your christmas spirit on~~ Happy holidays!!!! :D

Leave NO Regrets!

For the past couple of months or so i have been miserable. Like terribly. Something happened which i don't want to shout out loud. But anyway, i tried and tried to cope with it everyday. But as the days pass by, i just don't seem to feel better. Not even the slightest thing would help.

So finally i gathered myself together and found courage to finally ask for an answer. A simple explanation to whatever had happened. And just like that. I felt so much better. Like literally all the pressure and burden disappeared. So yeah, i'm glad for doing what i did. And one day i would feel proud of myself for letting the past go. It shall not haunt me anymore =]

Otherwise in the future when i am sitting down thinking...... i would feel all sad and it would make me regret for not doing what i should do. Point is, life is short and you only get to live it once. You can't go back to the past and change how things are. You only got one shot at your life so make sure you live it right. Don't let what others say make you change the way you are. You are who you are, you were born unique! Don't join the crowd. Stand out!
