Phew...finally i came up with my own cocktail in just one day! After thinking of what to make..i went to get the ingredients right after (yesterday). After many trials and errors...i got a perfect recipe!! today! heez..was at the bar mixing and mixing..making sure everything was good. haha..

My Concoction (Original Recipe by Tom)

Lady Green
 
50ml of Green tea
15ml of Honey
15ml of Bacardi (white Rum)
10ml Absolut Citron
6 mint leaves.
 (shaken)
 
Appearance of drink.
Has a light green colour..with mint leaves in the drink ( small pieces of it) because it was shaken together in the drink .
 
Taste of drink
The first sip hits the palate giving you a "Strong hit" from the White Rum due to its high alcoholic content.  It will then turn sweet as its reaching your throat becos of Honey (rather than using Sugar Syrup..becos girls are scared of putting on weights. A healthier choice.) With hints of Green Tea (slight bitter taste and smell) and sweet-minty (Mint leaves in drink) after taste..heez..

I wanted something oriental/asia..something different..rather than the common western cocktails..I named it "Lady Green" becos its more to a Lady's type of drink..and its Green! haha..a chinese type! My teacher said its unique..haha!! and he trained me in Bar Showmanship today...boost my confidence!
Really hope i can qualify for finals..then can represent Singapore to compete internationally...which may be in Europe! YAY!!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

25/7/2004
Went to "The New Church" for the very first time..was glad to see my friends once again, Daniel, John and Fannessa and some other ex-shalomers. Attended the Praise and Worship session with them..it was fun..all the actions we did and seeing the ex-coos musicians playing again..heez..the pioneers.. Anyway..i went to "New Church" because Eileen invited me to share my experiences on my mission trip...to abt 20 youths! some are also new believers..youth from different countries. It was really a experience for me. haha..I was also known as a "Guest Speaker" heez..

A little bit on what I shared About?

Going on a mission trip...a mission for God to reach out to those unreached countries..spreading the word. One must expect the worst, sleeping on cold hard floors, no hotel accomodations, sharing a toilet and bathing with cold water...but..thats not always the case...its kinda extreme. But through God's grace..we have proper accomodation( not the best but a shelter and warm water)..great food!! prepared by the locals..Yum Yum..another way of learning their traditions and culture..through mission trips..living with them.
Going on a mission trip...is getting out of your comfort zone! getting out of your typical life..and face the fact that not everything u have is the best when on such trips..But considering the number of people u can help..(building a better environment for them..e.g toliets, repainting, etc..) isnt that great?? I had a sense of satisfaction! and knowing that i'm serving God in every little way i can.
"To one we are the smell of Death, to the other the Fragrance of life".

At work
Yay !! today also received a $10 tip from the organizer of an event last saturday...for good service..it was a christian event..abt mission trips..building churches in tribal areas...ahaha..it was good to see fellow christians around..Glory to be the Lord. !!!
 
Bartending Competition
 
I participate in the competition..and i have only one day to summit the form!! veyr very last minute..anyway...I took 2 hours..to think of a cocktail..original recipe. heez.I've decided to make some oriental/asian type of cocktail for ladies...well i've never come across any before..so i'll try, as most of the cocktails are westerners..haha...I haven think of a name...but hope my drink is fine and good..hope i'll win! Good luck to me! heez..

Stories from the East side of Singapore

I felt that i am smiling too! was so real!...really weird..but sweet..hahaha Then i suddenly woke up...looking around, it was dark.and i decided to go back to sleep till the next morning...But its a dream la. shall not think so much about it. After so long..i'm contented that i dreamt...heez...Hope to dream more often..

So clear Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am... Vindicated.

That Place......WAS INFESTED WITH RATS!! HUGE AND FAT RATS! haha..We were running all around trying to catch it, but the rats was faster then us.. ahhaha..Did a function yesterday..turned the whole restaurant to standing cocktail..A day of celebration for Air France Cargo.

My Life
 
Woke up at 6am...jus had a bathe..decided to go online for awhile..
My eyes are getting smaller...haiz..maybe not enuf sleep. haha
YEsterday was a boring day...was attached in school..washing plates and utensils. (Back to washing career) But i went to the "Tiger Beer Room" Saw the boys mixing cocktails..joined in the fun too...hahah...they were preparing for competition. MAde a rainbow...and drank it in One shot! Face was turning very red after...Then i went for a meeting with the club commitee, so many events coming up..so sickening. haiz..
Looking forward to the weekends...!! OH MY!! Its 8am! i'm gonna be late!! again...ARGH!!! bye..

Today..i was attached to school instead of the outlets till wed. Was in school setting up for functions for thf following day, after that i was slacking all the way, dozing off every now and then.. haha..
 
After school, was bored..gave Kim Sung Hun a call. Met him for lunch at one of our school outlets "Petals" located at the Treasury Building. woo..yumzz! the food was good and prices were reasonable..until we called for the bill..the waiter heard wrongly and gave us 2 beers!!!! Haiz...no choice got to take those beers and was charged to our bill, anyway..we had a fantastic meal!!
After the meal, hanged out with korean frens and planned to watch a movie "King Arthur". too bad..wanted to watch "windstruck" but the timing was not right...maybe some other day.
Kong also came and join us for movie...the movie was good..i give it  3 popcorns.!! heez..
 
Kim and frens had to go...so they left after the movie. Me and Kong..took a walk around Suntec..and to the Esplanade..had Heart 2 Heart talk...ha. . We were feeling crazy and decided to delicate a song to us at the fountain of Wealth. The two heartbrokens sat on the bench as we talked about memories we had with the someone while listening to the music being played.
KOng we will be there for each other.
 
Was telling Kong about my plans to stayover at Nich's to watch loads and loads of VCD or DVD..haha..munching on stuff.. heez..its been a long time since we have done that. Really hope we can gather again like how we used to be..The 85 batch...haha..and the Bachelors. hahahah..
 *Yawnz* i am tired..nitez.
 

What a day..teared again in church..touched by the holy spirit, saw a vision, a man standing on a hill speaking to 3000 people. hehez..
 
Had sushi for dinner today...then nich wanted to watch movie "TAEGUKGI" (english titled "Bortherhood")  This movie shows the Family of Jin-Tae who lives with his mother, younger brother Jin-seok, and fiance Young Shin. His mother and Young-shin runs a noodle shop in a market and Jin--Tae shines shoes to send Jin-seok to university. Although living isn't easy, all working hard for their better future. Yet, the Korean War breaks out Jin-tae and Jin-Seok get drafted and are located at battlefront immediately. .
Heez in this movie...I was touched and envied. This young and gentle lady named Young-shin (Fiance of Jin-Tae) She is always with the family..working hard and looking after Jin-tae's mum.  When Jin-tae comes home from work..he has a habit of wiping his perspiration using his sleeves.  Young-shin will then take out a handkerchief and help him wipe off his perspiration (aww..so sweet), this handkerchief  will always be in her pocket because  just in case she sees Jin-tae's bad hibit again.I say Young-shin is sweet..although life is tough and Jin-tae is jus a shoe shine boy, knowing he doesnt earn much..yet she still love him so much.
Wow..i was sooo touched..how good will that be...if there's a girl or guy who is willing to go through everything or anything with you, walk an extra mile with you and no matter how rich or poor are you. This is real love....heez..
For me, i dun mind living a simple life with that person. Living in wooden cottage..so cosy, the greens surroundings and also great views of mountains..maybe can rear animals like cows and horses in the backyard. heez... or we can also start a small business e.g. cafe, chinese noodle shop or a small restaurant serving fusion cuisines? heez..many more.. (like Jin-tae and Young-shin who owns a noodle store) hehe..not very much about the profits we make but enough to provide for our family and live happily...living life without worries. I'm contented.
 
After the movie..it was 0020. I walked from cineleisure to selegie road..listening to music..hoping to save some on cab fare. Walking in the streets at this time..is quite interesting...looking at the different people hanging out..really scares me at times....becasue there are gays around..walking pass them, knowing that their eyes are looking at me. Not taht i'm sexy..hhahaha! but just..dun like stares. anyway...i got on a cab..the taxi driver was funny...talking about languages..like how young people these days dun speak chinese..and he was blabbering about speaking different languages, what advantages will there be...some i dun understand..what he is talking about..i jus kept nodding my head..and say " Dui (right)...Wo Tong Yi (I agree)" haha...when i reach my block..he gave me a discount too!! really wanna thank God for everything!!! yay!
 

Suicide Note. The Last Post.  

Attachment in school was better than in the outlets.. Went back to school and load stuffs for the function in SAFTI. Work was tough...but got to work on the muscles! haha...( somebody out there is laughing, i know).
Yupz..then i swept floor and do some area cleaning..then off i went to nigel's and watch TV! Iron Chef..amazing how these chefs can think of dishes by jus looking at ingredients..Its a challenge.

Down came the rain..why is it raining these days? hmmz..i wonder..Anyway..i went to Coffee Club with nich. We sat by the window, at a cosy corner. Sipping on hot "Tiramisu Latte" flavoured with Tia Maria, Marsala Wine, topped with chocolate shavings..heez as we talked and looked at the rain drops falling outside.

Have been thinking about joining mission teams...like before..i learnt alot and had fun too! hehe..Frm building toliets to painting churches..heez..how fun! Oh ya...and trying out authentic FOOD!! oh food food....hmmz..Eileen called today..asking to share my testimonies and experiences to a grp of youth in another church..Hmmz..really hope i can encourage them to go too..cos there is always a breakthrough.!

Its 1.30am.. why am i not sleeping early these days...RAHH!!
Now..
Listening to Dashboard COnfessional (Emo sial!!)

Being a pirate..(downloading music..or rather samples to listen..so as to determine whether i should buy the album...hehe) (Somebody must be saying "YEAaa Rightt")

having random thoughts ( like why am i even typing all these?? hmmz..)

falling asleep in front of the monitor..

K la..shall stop these nonsense..nitez

YEsterday was a Busy day. Reached OCBC at 7.45am (usually by 8.45am), becos of a function that started from 8.30am to 6pm.! yupz..i am supposed to work till 3pm, but i decided to stay on with my friends in the second shift to help out in the wedding dinner and also to make up for my previous absence.

I was so tired..as i have been standing for so many hours without even sitting or taking a short break. THe wedding dinner was good...It was the wedding of a staff from my school, so i got to see many training officers. haha..the WIld side of them...
AlcoholicS!!! haha..especially, the F&B teachers and Director who were sitting together..bottles of Whiskey and Red Wine was on their Table..Their Faces turned Red even before the Dinner! heez..but still, its really fun to see them laugh and joke.

FInally, at about 8pm..dinner was served! looking at the food made me hungry..very hungry..but i continued to work..I saw a few very very cute kids..abt 3-5 yrs old. Looking at those innocent eyes staring at me..haha...very cute children.
I left early..becos i've been working since morning..On the other hand..really felt happy for the sweet couple who got married..hmmz..Wish that i can be a Bridegroom someday. heez.

Now..its 2.38am..i'm not yet in bed..dunno y..but ya soon..Jus finished eating 3 slices of bread, a glass of milk, some durians and a bottle of cold water. hahaha..watching SpongeBob too. *Yawnz* really need to rest le..or else my eye bags will become worse. Nitez..

Today..work was Busy. Didnt really have the mood to work too. I came home yesterday feeling not so good. Why? hmmz..how does it feels to lose somebody u love so much! And i mean LOVE not LIKE! Of course..I cried and really cried..Just like an infant..But i dun care. I'm human too..with emotions.
Mum have been praying for me ever since. Yesterday..after talking to Mum. I went to bed, i was crying..Happy moments, jus flashed across my mind. Later, Mum sat down by my bed..as i was tearing myself to sleep. Reading to me a passage from the bible and a book titled "Power of a Praying Parent". As she was reading it, tears were falling. I heard her praying for me...something about my mate, that both of us will live in fidelity and remove any temptation to infidelity. She will also be my closest friend and be mutually loyal, compassionate, considerate, sensitive, respectful, affectionate, forgiving, supportive, caring, and loving toward one another all the days of my life.
Mum told me to Trust in the Lord...be submissive to GOd.
Now..i am in the Light, i cant see whats in front of me.as it is dark..but Lord is the light.i am trusting in Him without my understanding or my flesh.
I'll wait.....and one thing..Love Never change.

Words From my Heart on a Rainy Morning.

Woke up to the morning rain..Looking out the window. The rain, like grains of rice falling from a certain height. As i'm looking out..i'm thinking of her, my special one. Wondering is she sheltered from this heavy pouring? If she's not..how i wish that i can be there to shelter her.

Was glad that I went out with her yesterday heez.. Thanks for spending time with me..really cherish every moment when i'm with u... :)
Now..I'm missing you again. Wondering where are u...hmmz..well..I miss you even more than words can say..Hope I can see u again..:-)

The Lord is gracious and faithful. Want to thank Him for answering my prayers..There is none like Him, who compares to him? He who set the stars in their place, He is The Lord! My heavenly father.I really want to thank the Lord for blessing me and sending an angel to me, though i dun deserve. Give thanks to the Lord. Amen? May Lord continue to answer my prayers.

To her..
I love u.

RED LETTER DAY

What a good day. Waking up to the morning sun..feeling happy. Yesterday was memorable, spent time with that someone special. Enjoyed and cherish every minute when i'm with her.

Haiz..need to go for my attachment later..one good point about doing the afternoon shift is that i get to sleep till late..there is no need to wake up early in the morning and squeezing into packed MRTs like tunas in a tin can.

The Bad point
There is NO LIFE!! Waking up late in the morning.. preparing for work and then its time to go.. haiz..work till late at night..where can u go? Home OF COS! take a shower and then go to bed.. its like a daily routine. how boring..

This week..i'm in the evening shift. Time passes quite slow as there are not many things to do. The view at night is beautiful..different coloured lights can be seen in boat quay and clarke quay. Really a romantic place to spend the night with that special someone.


Love is such a beautiful thing. U will never know what is LOve until you have received it or given it.
Love is patient, forgiving and kind. Love is everything nice.

To me,
Love is loving with all my heart. Doing everything to make one happy.
Willing to sacrifice everything.

What is love to u?

Walking by the River..towards The Fullerton..having random thoughts..romantic ideas to spend with the special one...haha..and being emo? hehe.no la..not emo..just enjoying looking at those pubs, river boat( ppl boarding it), looking at public arts, looking at pigeons feeding on bread crumbs. Very peaceful.

Holland Village (cos nigel was affected), Farrer Road, Jurong East and West...blah blah..It was fun..heez..lighted candles in the house, neighbours were doing it too...Heard people shouting "OOooOOii" when the lights and power went off...they must be watching tv.haha..
