TALK TO ME!!!Saturday, 27 September 2008 All right people.. It's the boring holidays now.. BOOOOOOOO =( i seriously dislike holidays.. bcoz it's really boring.. i don't mind having holidays in singapore.. but in australia?? NO WAY MAN.. hmm.. shall post about interesting things that happen in sch bah.. haha.. let the pics do the talking??.. _____________________________ First up, had restaurant class on tuesday.. Shuan got us all to revise on our liqueur coffee, coffee making, spirits and liqueurs, ports, brandy, cocktails etc etc.. it was very fun time.. hahahahaha.. learning from dhurba and han.. LOL.. and restaurant service was great.. antonin was the Restaurant Manager.. I was chef de rang and khambiz was my commis.. LOL.. another fun day with him.. bio-ing on girls??.. LOL.. but all elderly there.. anyway, i was very happy.. bcoz my customers said that i've provided the best service they've ever provided ever in tafe.. and shuan was like telling them that i TALK A LOT.. LOL.. @#$%^&*( And in conclusion of this term, OLD LADIES LOVE BEN =) Took this pic in the restaurant.. the apprentices were having a buffet.. and this was the eiffel tower in france.. made by bread.. awesome eh.. =) This was taken on wed class.. chef was talking halfway and BJ started to raise up his magazine to purposely show people behind what he was reading.. and everyone went.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. LOL.. if u understand this pic bah.. hahahaha.. Started on our new unit of poultry and game.. first lesson is on discet on a chicken.. splitting the different parts.. BJ kept on saying he's allergied to chicken.. LOL.. anyway, the chicken was really fresh.. and BJ is there, posing at there with the chicken.. ready to get an autopsy done on him.. LOL.. After Autopsy.. hahaha.. well done ben and bj..On friday, started on a new unit was well, made cold cheesecake with wine and fruit jelly.. awesome stuff.. this one was made my Chef Taylor.. it's so skilled.. hard to find any faults in it.. This one is made my me.. how is it??.. what ya reckon?.. hahahaha... Take 2.. ain't it look good?.. hahahaha..![]() Last picture.. taken when jimmy was being candid by me.. he was being commented by chef taylor bout his cheesecake.. which went perfectly well.. awesome jim.. LOL.. anyway.. gonna blog till here bah.. anyway, just to say his bah.. I'm off already guys.. see ya soon.. Monday, 22 September 2008 I've survived this week.. how awesome is it???.. i reckon it's really magnificient.. i had tons of exams and presentations to do.. especially i was praying really hard to pass my practical for my chef taylor's class.. to my surprise.. i've passed this term with 100% competency =) Awesome ain't it??.. Anyway, i've finally apologised to her.. A really sincere one.. seriously speaking.. i feel really good after sayin those things out to her... it kinda like release part of my guilt towards her.. I feel awesome now.. Really really great.. A big burden off my shoulder.. This week is week 10 of my term 3 in tafe.. After this is a wk of holiday.. Which i'm so gonna work my ass off.. or if not, go travel around for sight seeing.. I've been thinking a lot lately.. espcially about what i really want to do in the future.. Jeffery has told me what suits me the best, considering what i want.. I just say, "i want to be a chef.. but i want to make cocktails and serve customers as well" and he said to me, "open ur own restauran nxt time.. it'll be good" anyway, Praise God that exams are all over and i've done well.. Praise God that everything is finally over.. especially all conflicts between me and her.. Praise God for everything.. Anyway, share with u all some pics of the week.. Mother.. hahaha.. it's a drink which has the same effect as red bull.. really high in sugar and energy.. always getting BJ into a hyper mood.. LOLLL.. Choux pastry that i made for exams.. the Paris Brest was not well made.. but the profiteroles are well piped.. Good job benben =) To end off this post.. this is my name.. made from melted chocolate.. haha.. i piped it out, too it out of the table and brought it home..Anyone wants to eat the tasty chocolate ben???.. hahahahaha =) Blog till here people.. till nxt time =) Labels: Australia, tafe, Thoughts and Feelings Tuesday, 16 September 2008 Finally, the conflict is over.. in the end.. i realised smth.. all along, i've thought that i've been the only one who's giving.. But in actual fact.. i was being the selfish one.. how foolish can i be??.. you are always giving way to me.. and being there by my side.. how can i just treat u like this??? you were always having confidence in me.. Believing in me.. But it was me who failed myself and u.. how foolish is that?? although things are over.. we may seem alright.. but deep down inside me.. i can feel this barrier that is stopping me from moving on.. The barrier of regret and remorse.. it feels really terrible.. it's really hurting.. thinking about u having to cheer me up in the end??.. how dumb can i be?? thinking that i'm always the victim.. i seriously need to think about it.. think bout my own actions the past few mths especially.. i really need to think.. think think think and think.......... Labels: Thoughts and Feelings First, to start off with.. reply of tags.. To tricia: HELLO!!! anyway.. i just cut my hair =.=" To Hweeming: LOL.. yeah.. anyway, i'm totally fine now.. not sad already.. tks for ur concern btw..

To cheng: BITCH!!! hahaha.. wah.. u got friends leave me alone already lor.. i do not even tag my own blog.. how to tag urs??.. hahahahahaha.. take care and jiayos for O lvls ah.. ____________________________________ Monday, 15 September 2008 Take a gun and shoot me pls??.. anyone?? Sunday, 14 September 2008 I'm back to blog once and again.. I've just finished chatting with someone a few hours ago.. I was pretty shock that he came talking to me about some really really personal stuff i find it really shocking.. and apparently, i only know this guy only 2 to 3 weeks??.. and shockingly, he came talking to me about his heartfelt feelings and pain.. All i can say is a few things.. i totally understand how he feels.. bcoz that's how i'm feeling now.. like i was telling that girl just now.. i'm considered very good at reading people.. especially the way how people behave this and that.. bcoz i've seen many from around the world.. and about that girl?.. hmm.. she has been really flirticious bah.. even flirts with me??.. hehehehe.. but nvm.. i play on as well.. since she started it first.. it's as easy as i treat u the way u treat me.. but i can totally understand y she behaves like this bah.. anyay, i feel quite messy inside now.. got tons and tons of things to settle as well.. 1) Complete terminology and workflow plan 2) Complete Set Menu!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!! Haloween =.=" 3) Complete task analysis and session plan.. 4) START ON IMPLEMENT FOOD AND SAFETY PROCEDURES!!!! OH DEAR =.=" 5) Do assignment on Select and Prepare.. anyway, to that friend of mine.. Don't worry too much, u'll be fine.. since i'm fine too.. Last and not least before i'm gone.. wanna thank everyone who has been there supporting me and cheering me up in my this bad week.. Especially Ji, Celina, Chef Taylor (who felt smth was wrong).. tks so much.. Ciao people =) Labels: Australia, Thoughts and Feelings Saturday, 13 September 2008 I can only say this.. The past week.. is totally fu*cked up.. Really really damn bad.. i've like gone thru really really bad things.. just when i'm starting to do well financially, i'm not doing well: physically, mentally, psychologically, socially, spiritually and it's really really very bad now.. all thanks to 1 simple person.. just 1 girl.. but one thing that really got me happy this week was, i had fun in the badminton gala event.. and in the gala event, guess what??.. my cake's the hot topic lately.. and a lot of the mothers are inviting me to their place to make cakes.. like for their birthdays his and that.. for parties as well.. i feel really honoured.. it's like someone recongnised my success.. someone's acknowledging me for what i'm good at.. i can say this.. i grew up under a lot of rejection especially from my teachers.. bcoz they feel that i'm very outspoken.. and i always speak up my mind.. and they call me stupid or cannot make it just bcoz i'm not good in my studies.. i can say this bah.. i really went to do cooking.. is all bcoz mdm tong acknowledge me.. and the other f&n teachers.. they got me really inspired to be a chef or enter into F&B industry.. it's just this simple action of them that got me going.. hmm.. now gotta see how it goes bah.. I hope that i'm gonna pick myself up the nxt week.. over weishan especially.. i've been thinking about her a lot lately.. after that time when i told her not to talk to me and leave me alone for the nxt few mths.. let's see how things go bah.. **nicole's being a super dumb ass** Labels: Australia, Thoughts and Feelings Wednesday, 10 September 2008 i was feeling totally ok.. just fine only.. until ystd when i saw ur sms.. i seriously thought it was total bullshit.. and i've decided that i'm so gonna make u hate me for life.. Even if it cost our friendship.. I rather u lose a friend like me.. learn a hard lesson.. and gain more good friends in the future.. than to bcoz of still having me as a friend, pampering u, making u not able to make friends or people hating u.. that's what i call as sacrificial friendship.. something that u'll never understand.. Saturday, 6 September 2008 I realised smth just now.. I tend to think about a lot of things when i'm doing a few things.. I wonder what about the rest??.. For me, i tend to think a lot once i'm bathing??, once i'm cooking?? Once i'm on the bed lying down on the verge to fall asleep??.. I wonder how many of u guys out there actually feel the same??.. To me, i was thinking about so many things just now.. Just a short 15 min bath can get me covering so many things.. As all young teenagers will think about, about dating and relationship lah.. Money lah.. etc.. So i was first thinking about money.. Working in Box 3 has really opened up my eyes into what the world is like.. Especially interecting with people from all walks of life.. Chit-chatting with them.. I seriously love to start topics with them.. And as how i always do my "stuff", i always "impress" them on my knowledge about the food the eat.. the drink they drink.. so den from there, drag to many areas.. I was considering if does the F&B really suit me or not??.. In conclusion.. i'm in for it =) And i was thinking about my future as well.. If i'm in the F&B, what kind of woman i shld marry? In the end, a simple answer came to my mind.. find a girl who will support me in whatever i do, if possible.. from the same line as me.. =) Like chef robert and cheryl taylor.. Married, travel around the world working together.. how loving is that??.. hehehe.. I started thinking about the current girl that i like.. Does she really suit me??.. I wanted to know the answer.. In the end, i just told myself.. still young.. see how it goes in the nxt few years bah.. I was msn-ing with yvonne.. asking her for advise.. and she told me to do this and that.. In the end.. that girl came online and settle once and for all.. Positive or negative results??.. hmm.. both bah.. shall not elaborate more.. hope people out there can understand.. i'm this kind of guy.. i never like to express myself out like this.. But i just have to say i'll never want people to feel my sadness of disappointments whenever i'm feeling down.. I just want to bring joy, fun and laughter to every one =) i feel, that's my principle in life bah.. how hard is that??.. she taught me that.. and she really make me smile a lot.. but nvm.. It's all good memories of the past.. i'll remember it =) anyway.. shall blog till here bah.. not in a stable condition right now.. hope that i come back soon bah.. Labels: Australia, Memorable events Monday, 1 September 2008 G'day people.. How's it going??.. HAHAHAHA.. (so bloody aussie) i'm finally back here to blog again.. I'm really super drained from the past week.. I feel so totally stretched.. Gotta cover up work for jeffery and cathy.. I was so shocked over what happened to jeffery and what cathy did.. Well, all i can say is.. Hope jeffery is ok now bah.. Tuesday had restaurant class.. As usual, shuan turned it into another bar class.. We ended up tasting wine.. So learned about the aroma wheel.. How to appreciate wine??.. this and that.. I find it really amazing how wine, just plainly made from grapes.. Can come out with so much aroma, qualities and taste.. This just never seems to amaze me.. It's like cooking like that.. Always having more new things to learn.. That's what keeps my passion towards hospitality alive.. Wednesday had theory with chef bob and practical as well.. Had so much fun in pract class that day.. especially with the oyster nonsense.. A lot of flame burst out.. HAHAHAHA.. Took a video.. but don't wish to post up.. i call it.. erm "bloody mary freaks?" hahaha.. and i was like bending forward and looking at chef's demostration.. AND SUDDENLY.. PIAK.. my ass hurts.. i seriously didn't know what happened.. and when i look around.. no one was there (AHHHHH!!) and i walked into the large scale.. Michiko came laughing towards me saying.. "Ben, it was so funny when i hit ur ass without u realising it.. HAHAHAHAHA" so i told her this.. "was it bouncy enough??.. u like it?? " and she started laughing away.. =) worked my whole thursday.. had so much fun.. as usual, never ending energy just flow out of me.. Friday.. =.=!!! the day which i dislike the most.. firstly.. BORING THEORY CLASS.. But seriously speaking.. i can see him putting in a lot of effort in making lesson interesting.. And i've indeed learn more from him.. especially more about my style of learning lastly.. CHERYL TAYLOR.. =.="!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lagi boring sia.. Made a chocolate mousse geteau..
