Wow...was unable to log on net just now...So i better blog quickly in case i will not be able to log on again..Chatting in MSN was also a problem.its so laggy!! its never like this...Then I learnt that my sister, opened a mail in her mailbox..says "Important" which is being sent by her "friend" ( Thats what she said, but i doubt that..knowing how stupid and simple minded she can be.) maybe she just wanna cover up for her stupidness for opening that mail..After opening it..she said MSN is laggy..and hangs..and Jus now i was trying to go online..it was not possible..I checked everything..everything is in place..Now here am I..online..I think i am lucky..But as soon as i shut down the com..i doubt i can come online again..
Oh..btw..i received the same mails as my sister received..but it was from others..i duno them..but the email add seems real...anyway..the mail looks like a virus..If its important..Y is everyone sending this particular mail to me? and why is it so plain and the "important mail" is attached..? hmmz...something is not right.. so i dare not take the risk of opening it..ya...
Now..as i am blogging i have problems loggin onto MSN..argh..

School Today - Food Service Management

Food Service management is new subject to me in my new term. Don't be fooled..it is not just about service customers and handling food. It is more! i mean...more on management! and yes! it is like 70% about managing restaurant (Fine Dining), hotel based. I have already met most of my school's Trainers, but the trainer who is teaching this subject is the one i admire most! Nope...Its not HIS looks..or anything. But its his achievement and how confident he is when he speaks ( with an English accent).

About my trainer

Dun look down on all his positions..in Europe all this Position is comparable with doctors and lawyers! exagerating? Nope NOT at ALL!
This managerial positions have a salary up to 5000 to 6000 a month! Yup...

( Degree is that if i can afford to continue) anyway..that will be after my NS. Yupz...easier said than DOne..Well so now..i just got to study hard lor..So get ready to hear my good news..Heez.

Today's Trend of Restaurant Operations

The hallmark of today and tomorrow successful restaurant operation is growing professionalism, exemplified by efforts to improve server and customers increase value for money.

History

Who started the earliest dining habits? The french? or The Italians? well...Its the Italians. By this woman named Catherine de Medrei..She taught the King of France to Dine..and she brought in her battlelion of Chefs and taught the french how to eat!
The Italians became Complecent..and the French took it to another level.!! haha...So jus a little story la..

i realised that my life is very disorganised! There is so much to do! Church stuff, School stuff..catering and stuff! and WORK! Haiz..working...is never fun, its all about responsibility. School today was FUn! haha...Mr Alan Tan, my catering science lecturer is a funny man..well..he used to be a student in SHATEC so i assumed that he knows how does guys(students) like us sitting behind a desk feels, if the lesson is dry and not interesting. I can see that Mr Tan is doing his best to prevent us from falling asleep. He is a good Teacher. ok...A brief introduction about this subject. It is similar to Food & Nutrition..with alittle bit of Human Biology that make Catering Science. I took these subjects in secondary school and also as an "O' levels Subject..these two subjects are one of my favourite!!! so ya!! i dun see why i should not like Catering Science. This subject also has no test!!! only exams and projects...which i like! heez...There is just so much to learn in SHATEC. i never regret taking up this course! And i believe God is always with me in whatever i do..Thank you Father.

New Age Sensitive GuysOh ya...Today in school..we talked abt being normal Guys and being "New Age Sensitive guys". haha..We concluded that Girls prefers "New Age Sensitive Guys". For example; When A wife is back from work, after a hectic day comes home and complains to her husband about Boss scolding her for not doing her job which she did. Girls/Woman prefer Man consoling them.."Its ok Dear...maybe your boss is in a bad mood today" rather than telling them "Aiyoh...Why??? Tell your BOSS you did your job and its well done!!!" haha.. see the diff? hmmz nevermind if you readers dun understand..heez.

I just found out that the Brand name "NIKE" is actually a greek word meaning "Overcome"..haha jus wondering why the motto is "Just Do It". nvm that....

Thats all for today's blogging tune in again!

Today, i'm back in school! Hmm...it was alright. We have a new subject. Beverage Knowledge. Sounds cool? yes it is..Ok..A brief intoduction, Its abt Beverages! (Duh..) yes...but beverages are classfied into many..Beers, wines, Spirits (liquor), Liquueurs and more! haha..yup! we will be learning all these!! And my Beverage Manual is So Super THICK! wah.....i better dun miss any lessons...or else it will be hard to catch up. Oh...i dun feel like working this week..how am i suppose to tell my supervisior? when i cant find any replacment? and chai and kian are involved in church stuff? I really wanna celebrate GOOD FRIDAY! and on sat i have to go to school! i'm so bz bz bz....i'm so tired! Ok for those who keep ppl in prayers? i have a request...pray that i am able to take leave this week from work so i can spend my time in church. thank u..

i'm back! from my trip to Genting Highlands, Malaysia. Yup...It sure was fun! The weather was not constant but it was good and didnt really affect us much, Because we will be in the indoor theme park having jus as much fun as the outdoor theme park. The weather is very cold...imagine being in a freezer with all the midst, the cold air. we barely can see.. Thats exactly how kevin, nigel and me felt. On the second day, Wednesday. We ate pizza for dinner, in a place called "Pizza Factory". It was Cheaper compared to Pizza Hut and it is able to fill our stomachs. hehe..We skipped lunch on that day, cos we had so much fun that we didnt notice the time and soon enough it was dinner time. haha. hmm..actually we skipped lunch everyday..cos everyday we were at the theme park playing and trying out new rides! haha..Not having lunch allows us to have more money for dinner which means better dinner!
We rode all the rides from both indoor and outdoor theme parks!!! haha..here are some of the rides we rode...Roller coaster, Free Fall, mine train etc....Oh ya...We tried out sky diving indoors!!! it is jus a very huge fan below our feets and when it starts we will be floating..haha..it was very fun and it was an experience. I cant control my flight very well...that the trainer got to hold me down!! haha... When nigel was in flight..his cheeks flabbled so much!! haha...like those you watched u cartoons!! hahaa.. We also went swimming!!! surprised ay? in such a weather?? YES WE DID!! hhaa..because...The swimming pool is indoors! haa..and it is heated!!!! wooo....it was so good..that warm feeling in such cold weather.. It is jus like being in a bathtub. On the last night, me and nigel went to starbucks coffee. Jus chilling with our sweaters on with a cup of hot Earl Grey (for me) and Hot choclate (for nigel). Kevin was too tired and he went back to the hotel. jus me and nigel...chilling and talking abt so much we had done in this few days. A blink of an eye, our 3 days 2 nights trip finally come to an end. We got up early on Friday morning..packed up and we were on our way to the bottom of the mountain in a cable car. Towards where our bus will be waiting. After abt 7 hrs of travelling, we reached singapore in about 5.30pm. I have to rush for work which is at 6pm. Kev had to go back to Wake Me Up shop to work and nigel went home. I really miss genting now..Whenever i travel i will always miss that place for a period of time..I dun want school to reopen..:( i dun feel like facing the new term. I dun want to rush here and there...:( Well...thats tom..for now...soon he wil get over it. ok...till then.
