12 April 2005
These few days have been really a great change for me..... came back from Malaysia..but cos I'm so so tired... and coz I have to go to work tomorrow, I think i'll leave that for another day.... Anyway, these few days at work have been really fun in a way..Met a lot of new people at work, and was attached to the Pastry side...found it quite weird at first...but as the minutes pass, I find I'm enjoying myself there...hehe..learning to make ice-cream, souffle, fondant, financiers, madelines and so on.....It's really really cool...but the time of working does take a bit of time to get used to......3 hours of break in between work is really quite weird, and i'm clocking about 12 hours a day?? Man..that so sucks... haha...but overall it's alright... My chef is testing me on every single thing i've ever learnt...and that's so scary..i think i'd better read up more in my spare time...it's so much safer than being caught unknown..... but in here, i'm seeing SO MANY things i've never seen before.....the cooking style is great...coz they rely more on the food's natural juices than on the sauces or marination.........every single ingredient, or rather, almost all their ingredients are from France...can u believe that? Just imagine their food cost!!! Truffles, snow crab, white asparagus.....white turnip...black turnip....real young baby carrots, violet potatoes....sheesh....just the thought of it makes my mouth water....... Besides the food, have finally learnt to turn vegetables....hhaha.....not really well yet, but am gonna try to improve further....here, the chef hates pple standing around...so....i've to find mroe jobs to do!!!! But at the moment, life's still great...i'm still taking in things a minute at a time.....trying to absorb all that i can........ Sighz.......my darling's gonna be enlisted on the 9th of June at 9.30 am...dunnoe if i can even take leave to send him off...i really hope so...gonna pray really really hard....i miss him already.....coz he's in a chalet at the moment....he'll only be back on thursday...sighz.....oh man.....anyway, i think i'd better go sleep now........in preparation for another day at work.......hope tomorrow will be just as new as it has been.......darling...come back home soon...i really really miss u.....
