First Interview

Today i've went for interview with 3 of my lovely friends Ah Woo, Sam, and Elaine at Pavilion The Loaf Bakery where we have chance to meet Chef Yukichi Matsubara who is one of the 100 famous chefs. I was so proud to sit infront of him and able to have a chat with him face to face. Although all the while i was very anxious, but we did have a nice chat. The session is not long but in that short period he did influenced my view about baking. I can feel the sincere and the true heart from him towards baking which that's what i want in myself. Yes he is right, this field is low in salary and it's tough. I knew it. I've considered about that before i've change my career from an account clerk to a baker. I made my choice and i do not regret. That is what i want and what i like =). No job is easy if you want to do the best.
Sad that they just need 2 of us. I know my chance of getting the job is very slight because do not deny that i feel i'm the most unskillful among 4 of us. To be true i hope my friends will get the job because it's a very good bakery that we can learn a lot from there. And i believe they can perform better than me. I'm so excited and glad to gain such experience from the interview =D and i really enjoy it! It was a funny and wonderful time in the whole journey especially when filling up the job application form and answering the math questions together haahah!! Appreciate it no matter which of us will get the job ;) Good luck guys!

Missing Tears

It's been awhile i've stop writing blog. Abundance of trobles occured between the period brings me to unfamiliar places. There were dark, cold, and scary... i'm lost...again... The feeling is all coming back to me just in a sudden. It's suffering... Yes, i'm trying so hard to recover from the wound. I've tried so hard... I've lost that feeling, i've lost my tears until this moment even though how bad things happened on me. I thought i managed to go though my passed. But now i'm confuse... There is something i just can't forgive myself... i'll never forgave myself... Everyone have to responsible for what they had done. Dear God, is it the time has come for you to test me? God... you believe in me that i can face it now? Thanks for giving me another chance... I knew you always love us much. Today i had made my decision. No matter what will be the outcome, i will not regret. I have my life back and i do not want to lose it again...Thanks God.

Mount Kinabalu Aim! (7th-17th Apr 09)

Waltson brought a good news for us today! Finally we've got the chance to visit his hometown Sabah and climb Mount Kinabalu!!! I'll be joining for sure! Horray!! I'm so excited that i had already done some research about it =p Here it goes...
The summit of Mt. Kinabalu is known as Low's Peak which height at 4,095 metres. It is the fourth tallest mountain in Southeast Asia and also the 20th highest peak in the world! Now i know that...ehehe... Refer to Sean, we need about 2 days and 1 night to reach the peak (omg...i doubt whether i can make it or nope! Guys if you really planned to go please do make it asap, sobzz... as you guys know my bones are getting brittle and soon will become gray hah!!) But for the infomation that i've got, the oldest person to reach the peak was 80 years old! I do not want to lose to an old man!!! Oh man... .... This is the best page that i found out where you can get almost any info. you would like to know about Mt.Kinabalu, do enjoy it =)
....
This pic look challenging for me!
....

This is even worst =.="!!

What did made me headache the most was "MONEY MONEY MONEY~" lolz! This is the roughly expenditure that we need for the trial :
  • Air ticket if we managed to grab the 0% rate promotion price then it would be RM160 for 2 ways p.p.
  • Park entry fee - RM3 p.p.
  • Climbing permit - RM30 p.p.
  • Insurance - RM7 p.p.
  • Guide fee - RM70 to RM100 (the actual cost depends on the number in the group and which route is used)
  • Transport to (and later, from) Timpohon Gate where the climbing path properly begins from the entrance about 5km - RM4 p.p.
  • Accommodation on the mountain - RM188 to RM288 (Inclusive compulsory 5x meals)
  • Extra RM100 for some optional fees

The maximum outlay forecast is about RM600 p.p. (swallowing my saliva >_<") I understand that RM600 for us as a student is really a big amount, six hundred... uhh...! But i'm still hoping all of us will have the ego to do it! I've already planned to earn the money back during the rest of the 3 months holiday heh! Money is not the problem! I can gain it back by hardwork =D Most important is the experience that i'll gain on the trip and grasp the opportunity to climb Mt.Kinabalu at least once in my lifetime? I extremely hope to spend my holiday on extraordinary activities with you guys and create mountain of sweet memories among us ;)

Will we managed to land on the peak and spend an unforgettable days within the magnificent sceneries of Gunung Kinabalu together? It must be joyful!

My Journey in Bali...

It's been a long while i'm thinking of how to present this post. It was a precious experience & journey that i've got. Time just passes too fast... it's been one week since i've back from Bali. This trip is really undescribable. Hmmm.... really can't figure out any way to express my feeling for Bali. Thanks for all my friends that who missed me so much when i'm not here =) Too bad that i couldn't share my happiness with you guys but for my advise, you must visit Bali!
This is the first trip that i'd passed and enjoyed it in a different way, compare with others places that i had visited. Maybe it's because of the growing age, i start to see things differently. The trips before, i only know spending my time for those hmm... pointless activities? (shopping...eating...sightseeing...ah boring!). Along this trip, i managed to make friends with Bali's citizens and tourists. I've learned a lot from them, get to know their culture, daily life style, feels their thinking and feeling, having a lot of funs with them by explored the places, activities, stuff... that you will never knew for a short period visitor. It's just feel like we are a family! Ah~ i really miss the place... =)
I guess it's preferable to explore yourself than following tour guild. The time will be more flexible, thus you can plan and organize to do things that you like rather than to acquiesce halfheartedly in the guild's schedule =). For those who've planned to visit Bali, you made the right choice and bon voyage!! =D

SOBZZZ It's real sad... :( (Maybe i've just need to wait for another 4 years to watch the next olympic live as my friend said so hah!

I'm Getting Fatter & Fatter!!! Wuaaa...

My weight increase rapidly after joined this baking course =.=" I gained 5kg in just a few months and this is my heaviest weight i ever had in my life until now! (hope that i won't create another new record >.<") I have made an analysis to determine what is the actual cause for this incident lolz...
  1. Non-stop eating products and edible ingredients while baking in practical class (i really love those breads which just carried out from the oven! It's unresistible!!!)
  2. Having just too much bread ><" (we bake 3 kinds of bread and mostly 3 kinds of cake in 1 week @.@ shame to say most of them i'll finish eating it by myself...helpless...)
  3. Meals time not fixed
  4. Having dinner after 10pm for 6 days per week
  5. Having light breakfast, heavy dinner! doh!!
  6. Sleep late (normally will get to bed on 4-6am, trying hard to adjust my life into normal mode now :p)
  7. Sleep right after meal (for quite frequent)
  8. Sit for too long in front of pc. (about 5-6 hours a day) causes all the fat accumulated on lower part of the body >_<"
  9. Lack of exercises (only once a week for badminton, cycling everynight for a short distance)
  10. Take numbers of snacks in midnight
  11. Having meals as my wishes, never considered about the nutrition of food
  12. Love fat products a lot such as chocolate, ice-cream, milk, cheeseeee...yummy!!!
  13. Won't feel full although just finished my main dish which are quite big in portion (omg..)

Woow... What a mountain problems that i've got!!! But the most serious problem is i do not have the determination to control my bad eating style... i never really planned to change it...


.............before...........................now

But these few days i start to feel the difficulties of a fat person (shudder to think!) I'm getting tired easily when i walk especially when going up stairs! Even if i just stand on the same position for sometime i'll feel like i'm carrying 100kg of stones...sobz... My reaction is getting slower too when play badminton. Somemore, when i'm sitting for a period on chair it'll cause my leg get paralysed >.<" i never had this feeling before... My appetite has improved! My mouth just can't stop finding something to bite on! (fainted..lolz) Things are getting worst!!! Most of my trousers and jeans already cannot fit my size... After noticed all these major occurrences, i start to worry, and now only i planned to control myself hahahahaha... Hmm...hope i manage to do it and everything will be back to normal or getting better soon! =p

Never "Grow Old"

I was bringing my mom to have breakfast. En route, I saw an about 2 years old child walking unstably accompanying by his mom beside (cute...). A long the road are stalls selling baby's clothes and toys. The baby put 100% focus on those fancy stuff hah! We (except the child) noticed there's a curve in front of the road. The mom keep on asking his son to focus on the road while walking, but the child just can't resist for what he is seeing! He stepped on the curve and nearly fall down. Certainly, her mom managed to hold him seens three of us (both the baby's & my mom & me) already on standby to snatch him started when he getting nearer and nearer to the curve lolz!
The incident brought out a thought in me. I saw us (as an adult) in this child. We just can't resist every fancy stuff and attraction around us whether it's good or BAD for us. We always get in troubled because of these thing just like the child totally forgot to watch out his direction. Luckily he got his mom beside him. But we won't always be that lucky to have a "rich" person who will help us when we have difficulties.
Hehe... i admit that shopping is one of my uncontrollable bad habit and i developed it in the early of this year...sobz! When i saw clothes that i love! I'll confirm buy it without ponder if it does not exceed my budget (hehe! won't tell you the figure). I prevent to visit any shopping mall ><" If i couldn't see then i will not think of it. This is the best way i can figure out to control myself for now =p Window shopping is suffering!!! LOL... Feel people must always stay alert and know what we are doing. The hardest thing is to control ourselves but that is the only way we can prevent most of the troubles...

Time Is Running Out...

I have not enough time. Realize that i have not enough time to complete what i want to do for this life... Suddenly got to know the feeling of someone who had critical health problem :( There is no way to describe the pain of them... This world is real cruel and we have no choice but to accept it. I appreciate everything that i've own especially my family and friends. Human are strange...we will never noticed the importancy of the thing or the person that we have until the moment we lose it... Can't deny that i'm cherishing all the momeries that are passed. I treat them as my precious for both happy and sad. There are persons that i do not like, but i will never hate a person. i know no one is perfect in this world. We are learning from each other. That is why i always find the pro's of everyone. I believe no matter how terrible is the person, there must be at least a good thing in him and there must be something that i can learn from him. I had been betrayed by my friend before and it really made me feel disappointed. However, i still choose to trust and treat all my friends with a heart full of love. There are really too much things i wanted to learn!! Feel that i will never catch up others... But i really enjoy the learning journey as far as i went through till now :) Life is a miracle (sweet!) Hope all the peoples around me will aware of this. Stop all the nonsense! Catch every second from now on and make them meaningful ;)

Do Not Look Back and Grieve Over The Past For It Is Gone =)

It has been a long time i didn't go for ice-skating. It was my favourite sport once. I'm so foolish that i'd tried to escape by reject the invitation from my friend to go ice-skating for twice because of the memories it'd brings to me. All the while i'm keeping away from recalling the feeling i've got from skating.

Yesterday my friends suggested the same plan again seen we finally have got one day rest after continued exam for 3 days. This time i had accepted their invitation and had made a decision that no matter how i'm not welling to go, i must overcome with grief.

Surprisingly, today i had a lot of fun with them! Although i did meet some peoples and places that made me thought of my past, they didnt influent me much... I just troubled too much! Heh! I had a wonderful day! Thanks my friends! =)


Getting ready to go in ice rink! phew...!


Having a warm dinner together after a little light exercise =D

(start scratching my head and messing up my hair sigh*) Is't one considered success if they achieved their dream? I cant find out the answer :'( At this moment, i planned to live a happy life and hope i'll be able to help others with all my strength. Live life now!

You can't love others until you love yourself ; love yourself and only you will be loved. Hope 1 day i'll found my life's meaning and you will found yours too :) I've noticed a page where recommanding some ideas for loving yourself. I like the last sentence of the Day-By-Day paragraph, so.. do the right thing start from this moment to create good passed :) Here's the page & hope you'll enjoy it ;)http://www.lovingyou.com/content/advice/selfhelp/content.php?ART=lovingyourself

The worst experience in practical till now...

Gosh! How can i still did the same mistake after Xiang & Eric already reminded me to take more attention on that grrrr...... stupid orange chiffon cake!!!! lolx! In the first stage, batter and meringue were so perfect! But we used the whisk to combine them togather...we totally forgot that Donald did taught us before if we combine them with a whisk then we must whisk it gently and shouldn't whisk for too long. The first mistake made our final batter became too watery!
We have to throw the batter away and re-do it for the second time :S This time....batter was good....when i was washing the equipments....suddenly Lina came to me and she told me the meringue have got something wrong again! OMG.... When i saw the meringue...i've got to know that it'd beat for too long :'( I straight away throw the meringue (lolx! waste MIB's money a lot for today :p) and start to make a new one again. This time i stood beside the mixer and pay whole of my attention on the mixing process!! Wahah! Thxs God!!! So lucky that we manage to finish our products in time! Phew... what a tiring day @.@ But finally we'd passed our practical exam and oral test with flying colours!!! Yeahhh!!! Wanted to say thanks for all of you who have encouraged me immensely especially my mom & dad, little sis, jj, and my classmates =D I Love you guys so muchhhh! muakss!

My new "little" cute friend!

After class i went to Old Town post office to renew my road tax. There were so many people queuing for the number argh.... hate that! The feeling which i always have to go bank and post office when i worked suddenly came back to me! >.<" really scary...hope i need not go back to that situation ever after!
At first i was quite bored sitting there alone and waiting for my turn while listening to my hp's music...After 5 minutes, there was a family (dad, mom, daughter) came in and sat beside me. The little girl was so cute that it makes me want to give her a sweet smile =) Our relationship start with the warm "sweet smile" and she's enjoying playing with me! She's teaching me ABC and we're playing the "eye contact hide & seek" game! Lolz! It's a lot of fun! Kids are always cute and special!I value the simple and pure humanism of them. There are lots of things that i need to learn from them :D Be patient to kids who is around you. But remember dont overindulge them! If not you will undergo suffering like i always do ^^"

Nice to meet you Santeeya! (she's a 6 years old indian girl and i even got her's hp no. too!! lolx)

A "Secret" of U

I've got a secret, and i believe so as you :) Since i joined our MIB's big family, i'd found out that most of us did have secrets and it made me feel sad...many of them are "bad" experiences from our passed. Naturally, we don't want others to know this secret about us or someone we love. But when we met someone that we felt we can rely on, automatically we will share our "secret" with him. I use to keep my secret dead, not because of i do not believe in anyone. It's very hard to find someone who understand my feeling well and i'm a lazy girl which dont like to repeat the same issue again and again..... What passed is passed. Sometimes i'll hold my secret to protect myself and others. I feel that the more you know, the more you'll suffer. Maybe that is why i'm not interested to listen to people's secret if he or she is not willing to tell me.
It's not feeling good to keep secret in you. When something bad happened, we have no choice but to be tough! However, no matter how tough are we... we still need someone to share our sorrow. I'm glad that a girl - my classmate had choosen me to share her's with me today :) Thanks for giving me a chance to know you more. Learn from mistakes and only that can improve ourselves and change us to "a better me". Experience is the best teacher ;)
I'm proud to be your listener for anyone who is in trouble and i can be a good secret's keeper :) I'll try my best to help and hope i can bring happiness to all of you! Chills! My friends ;p

The 1st Bread Practical Examination @.@!

Today was my first experience in practical exam!! It was so excited and fearful!! We need to prepare 2 loaves of French Baguette, 8 Sweet Buns consisting of 2 round red bean buns, 4 design red bean buns and 2 chicken hot dog bun, and 2 Wholemeal Bread. We'd gave 4 hours to produce our products but all of us ends up with extra 2 more hours just to clean up, take photos, and have fun with each others =D It was such a wonderful day! Lina, who was my group member, we got quite a good mark for it! Congrat!! girl! :) and thanks for the co-operation within the exam period >.<

Lina & me with the "plus + u" sign which mean "jia you" in chinese before get into the exam hall

Bread Practical Exam's Table 6 (Lina & me) with our final products & presentation. Nice?

"STRESS" of a student is coming back to me!!!

I had stopped schooling for almost 3 years plus. Now i started my new college life at MIB (Malaysian Institute of Baking) which i will spend my next 2 1/2 years here. It's a very challenging task for me to take this Baking Science & Technology course. We are not only do some practical on how to make breads & cakes which i love a lot, but also learn many others knowledge such as food hygiene, computing, business management and so on. This blog is also one part of my homework from Business Comunication class. Life is full with joys when rushing for assignments, presentations, tests & exams, and even making new friends :D I had never regret for joining this course which is my first own-made decision. Homeworks are non-stop coming to us! I missed my sleep for many days just to finish my work :p All because of my weak point in time arrangement and planning. See...tonight i have got to miss my sleep again! Hah!! I'd changed and learned a lot after enrolled to this institute. I had found my dream here and i'm super lucky to meet all my new lovely friends! Thanks for sharing the "STRESS" togather! Gambateh!!!everyones!


P&P Management's group activity - to build a highest building using only 15 pieces of A4 papers and tapes about 15cm long


My P&P Management 1st project assignment which used only 1 night to finish it =p (jj thanks a lot for your help!)
Business Communication's Group Presentation-Waltson, Lina, me, and Fei (Well done guys!)

Parts of our happy family! =D

For sure we know how to release our stress! ;p

Just noticed from Eric that "stressed" can turned into "desserts" if spell it backwardly =D sweet!


If i could be an angel...


This passage is specially for my ex-boyfriend.
Our story started when we are in Form 4. It ended on last year Oct 16 after we had been togather for 7 years. It was a long journey that full with experiences... everytime when i flash back our memories, it brings me lot of smiles :) All these years you did taught me a lot and shared your love for me :) Althought there were many things happened within our relationship, we had shared a lot of happiness & sadness and even sometimes we argued a lot for some minor troubles =p but deep from my heart...i felt happy at our moments together :)
I'm not sure what's the reason that seperated us, however, we did tried our best :) and there is no regret. I felt that i'm a lucky star although i can only spend that little time with you in my life...Maybe you will forget me... but i'll appreciate and keep our memories until the end of my life :) Perhaps we wont have the chance to meet again, i hope to say "Thanks!" for you once again and "I'm sorry" for whatever i'd hurted you. Please do not worry about me :) I'm living life to the fullest and i did have a wonderful life :)
If i could be an angel, i will bless happiness always be with you.
I miss you, wayne :)

A "Gift" from your heart

I am a stingy old miser >.<" Everyone knows that! Hah! I use to count every cent that i have to spend and save as much as i could. Could it be cause of i had been worked as an account clerk before? :p But when come to my beloved, i'll spend all my savings just for him...I'm such a stupid idiot right? lol (sorry mom & dad :p). But for sure that's only for the money i'd earned by myself. However, luckily there's another thing that can attract me to spend on, which is donation. Will you donate to someone which nowadays we can normally see them at restaurant or shopping mall? If they are an elderly or a handicapped, i'll donate for them sometimes but must consider my economy condition for sure hah! But if they are someone who carryinng a file along and keep on explaining about the club or charity....i choose not to trust them and sometimes i even feel that they are very annoying!! ahaha...hmm...poor them. Thus, i really like to donate. It's one of the way i get happiness in my life! Maybe the little money that we'd donated can't help much for them, but i feel the little "love" we gave from our true heart can brings warm to the world =) Love is all around...do not be selfish to share your love to others =D

Xiang, Eric, Lina, and Me bought the same design T-shirt from Tropicana Life Charity Event with "Warm Their Hearts with Your Love" printed on it :)



This is the image of the T-shirt i've got from The One Academy's "Care" project by donated money for "Xi Chuan Earthquake" disaster.

VegManiac

Nowadays, it's very common if we heard someone say he or she is a vegetarian. I am a newbie too! =) At first, i did search for the explaination for vegetarian. i got confused when my dictionary noted that vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat or fish. And the explanation for vegan is a person who does not eat meat or any other animal products at all. Hmm...are we miss used the word vegetarian if we are a totally no meat eater and consumer? After double checked via internet, i have got a better answer for it. I found out that there are three basic types of vegetarian which categorized into Lacto-ovo vegetarian, Lacto-vegetarian, and Vegan. Refer to wikipedia, Lacto-ovo vegetarian is a vegetarian who does not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of any kind, but is willing to consume cheese, butter, yogurt and eggs. Lacto-vegetarian is similar to the lacto-ovo group in that they eat milk and milk products, but they do not consume eggs, meat, poultry and fish. While Vegan does not eat any animal based foods including dairy products or eggs, while many also eliminate use of all other animal products such as leather, wool and silk from their lifestyle. I'm a vegetarian that will still eat eggs and use other animal product but i'm not consuming any food such as cheese or butter that are made of animal. Wondering which group i am in...?

Why i choose veggie?
There are lots of reason why people choose to be vegetarian. The usual reasons are for health, religious, and moral. In these times, even beauty centre started to encorage their customer to go for vegetarian. Many vegetarian diet plan have offered by those slimming centre for the purpose of losing weight. It is getting popular seems many other health benefits including lower cholesterol levels, less heart disease, a lower risk of cancer, low blood pressure, decreased weight and strong bones can be obtain by keeping this diet plan.
A vegetarian can also conserve the environment indirectly. I remember one of my friend did told me that the animal bones remaining at the end of the meal by a normal person for their whole life can gathered as high as a small mountain! It's unbelievable! Maybe someday our planet will full of animal bones. Sigh*
There are three main reasons that made me a vegetarian which are my mom, health and moral factor ^.^
