So far i've enjoyed both the tutorial and practical classes even if i'm still new in the hospitality industry.
doesn't matter, still have room for improvements.
hahahaah
anyway, here's a few experiences that i have had & would like to share with you readers..
tutorial on Beverages class was on Wednesday. we learnt about the history of wines-making & yada yada. have you ever heard of Ice Wine? how it is made? now let me tell you. according to my lecturer he said the reason it is called ice wine basically because the grapes were collected during winter time where the grapes were covered with ice.. and tada.. we have Ice Wine. reasonable.
best of all, we got to taste the whole bottle of Ice Wine! yum yum. & not forgetting, red wine!
we even learned about labeling. how to differentiate sweetness of wines & all that. 110-150° Oe is very sweet! ;D
next up, i had my practical in the Cafe on Thursday!
Can you believe that?
Real guests dining in & is actually runs by the newbies like us!
OMG. i'm all excited & thrilled by the fact that we're running the Cafe for few hours eventhough we've only started to learn the basics, the do's and don'ts on that day itself!
Our menu of the day was Japanese Cuisines!
don't remember much names of the dishes, but there's this appetizer known as Shabu Shabu. HAHA =p
i was the Cashier of the day & i thought "Wow, it would be fun!"
i almost died of too much adrenalines rushing through my brain.
feel so tensed up cos i don't really know how to function the cashier machine.
each individual teaching me different things & guests kept coming in, i don't know who to listen to
so ended up i'd rather write in the Captain's Order & do mental calculation instead.
i guess there's few ringgits shortage too. hahah
after the peak hours, the wannabe-Chefs prepared us lunch!
Japanese Cuisines! & i even got to taste the green tea ice cream- all cooked & made by the wannabe-Chefs aka the students themselves! i'm so impressed!
what really impressed me too was the fact that my lecturer asked me go to the kitchen grabbed some food before i leave because he said he appreciated our hard work & therefore no one should be left out. & he kept thanking us again & again. awwww!

Greetings From IPOH!!
hahaha.
aloha, my dear readers!
finally i'm in ipoh for good!
currently having Raya's breaks for 10 days.
i'm sooooooo happy! ;D
you know ah, as much as i enjoyed the company of my friends back in KL
but there's no place like home.
i'm dragging for my days to pass me by each day without even living a life
a day without having to rush like a mad cow is something i really really treasure already.
but despite all that, i'm learning to be more cautious & be aware of the surrounding which i don't know if it's a good or bad thing.
trust me, i don't like that either.
i feel so heavy having so much to carry on my shoulder,
but that's what we ought to do in reality, no?
woman, you're too careless & your time management is really bad!
how did you burn the kettle?
how could you miss the bus?
how could you be so careless in everything that you do, always forget this & that?
aiyooo. but that's me
every bad incidents that's happening to me right now are caused by my careless self.
so im learning from it.
no more blaming the lucks or whatsoever.
yesterday i slept for 11 hours continuously & had a fantastic dream
the whole day been watching tv, practically doing nothing
but i love the life that i'm having now.
everything moving in a slow pace,
having to worry about absolutely nothing.
home is the place on earth,
pls don't ask me to leave so soon yet
bring me to the place near my heart.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Another day not mine
well, you should have guessed. i have had a really bad hair day today.
NO.
bad hair-to-toe day!
i'll say this once & for all; & let's close this chapter after that already.
yes. my phone got stolen.
you know how it happened?
i didn't know either because that barbarian is so desperate he raped my handphone so efficiently.
the only thing i know next, i was so freaked out my mind went blank immediately.
i started to raise my voice & grabbed the 3 malay boys nearest to my side not letting any of them go.
i even shouted for god sake so fcuking loud somebody steal my phone,
but what those so called homosapiens ever did were to look at me & NOT EVEN ONE BLOODY PERSON WILLING TO AT LEAST JUST BLOCK THOSE MAFIAS FROM GETTING OUT THE LRT! so fucking reality right when comes to this?
let me rephrase this, the majorities don't deserve to be called human beings, they should at least learn the basic of being humans;
cos humans have heart, they have feelings;
but all these people im seeing are nothing but walking corpses.
no no im not blaming anyone.
im old enough to bear my own consequences &
yes, it's my careless mistake.
it just not my day, that's all i could say to comfort myself.
cos another victim was even worse.
her phone got stolen in her pocket without her even realizing it, that's amazing how these barbarians make full use of their both hands learn to steal stuffs instead of standing on their own two feet.
i could imagine how their mothers would feel;
9 months of pregnancy & years of nurturing them with love & care;
at the end of the day, these poor mothers' baby grown up being a RASCAL!
& that's not about it,
my housemate called my handphone 7th times & overheard the barbarian negotiating with a malay lady for like RM35.
what came to mind was that barbarian with no shame selling my handphone to the malay lady with no brain for RM35!
it doesn't end here.
what a lucky day, really.
went to lowyat for a replacement sim card, lowyat asked us go pavillion.
was thinking to myself "at least today is not that bad after all. no sun. no rain. just nice to walk"
walking for like less than 5 minutes, started to pour like cats & dogs.
i needed super spin dry, i'm telling you right.
whole body was so wet from top to toes. sighs
i'm not trying to be racist or some sort like that.
but seriously, i just loathed the Cikus! (if you know what i mean)
& no, i don't hate the Cikus based on this one incident that happened to myself. but more to what i've seen & heard of all these years, my limits tank just burst. that's all i could say. no more tolerance
i don't consider the people that i know,
i'm pin pointing the majority of the Cikus out there
i have always considered myself a universal multi cultural kind of person
but there are just too many rotten apples out there that spoilt the whole barrel of it.
hate it or love it, you have to accept that.
& mind you, every word that i typed in here already go through my brain, my sound mind before i decided to post up such a racism sentences.
my day went normal as usual.
attended beverages class.
mix match vodka with cranberry & orange juice.
had cocktails & mocktails.
wow, few sips only but my head spinning already.
bla bla bla...
i talk to them like normal, but there'll be times i got drifted away & stared at the air.
that's the time when everything came knocking in like crazy.
i don't know to cry or to laugh.
i just didn't know what to do.
it's not me being so calm.
i needed to let it all out at least,
only then can i let it go completely.
Lina, i know you won't be reading this;
but i just want you to know i love you so much! hehe
ohhh, i didn't mention this!
i was listening to the Billionaire & Bad Romance feeling slightly sad cos these two songs been attached to me like my left right arms already.
knowing i won't be woken up by these songs everyday in the meantime, somehow i felt handicapped.
that's when this brilliant girl came out with a good idea saying she would be singing these songs for me everyday. awwwwwwwww. how sweet?
now i don't feel sad anymore, i just feel so lucky & blessed. that's all.
hehehe. no more rainy day please, i wanna see sunshine smiles upon my face, effecting from now! *so demanding. LOL
goodnight, readers! xoxo

Hello Ipoh.
i miss home already.
i wanna go home.
i feel like a walking zombie in KL.
i don't really like my routines, the same old routines everyday. even so reluctant to wake up. just feel like lying on bed whole day long not doing anything.
everyone is always on the go. no time to slow down & to breathe. it's like every breath im taking suffocating myself so slowly, to that extend. everyday i feel like a dead person, so tired.
but to think of it, im not here for a vacation. im here to study, to craft my future. so again, whether i like it or not, have to live with it no matter what. pls be strong. stay focus. *slapping myself.
but i did enjoy my stay here you see. with a bunch of friends. like a big family. eating home cooked food, that's what i missed eating the most. eating outside food is like so yucky yuck.
in summary;
1. i've to stock up bottles of drinking water cos the water in my place is terrible. muddy colour with smell. yucks. even my face is getting worse. LOL
2. in the ratio of 1:10, hardly can find anyone who's willing to help you or offer you a seat. ki ki ku ki ki. haha
3. only the 2nd week, but already given 6 assignments due in october. crazy!
4. so much to learn in the hospitality industry la! slowly catching up. next time when i see anyone of you, stop telling me this industry is easy, cos it's not! im still struggling on beverages class. can i not learn about the alcoholic except for the wine? can i not learn about the mixtures & all cos im going cuckoo trying to memorise so many unfamiliar new terms?
5. & d'ya know that one of the assignment actually require me go to a bar, try out some new drinks & write a report on it since it's a group work. everyone agrees to go to the bar. uwaaaaa
6. & most importantly, d'ya know that everyone is calling me AUNTY just bcos im 20yrs old & maybe sounded a bit too naggy? so awesome, not! haha
7. i feel like a completely different person; so not friendly. not nice. not fun. not sociable. i don't know what's happening, but i just don't feel like talking to anyone about it. ironic compared to my old self aite? move on move on. ;)
8. oh, one more thing. my first time attended such an immature meeting. no respect, blasting another person as you like without deep thinking, without even thinking of the consequences. that's weird huh?
goodnight!
