Texting Shaun

So Shaun and his cousin aka Han fetched me to work the other day, and we left to our hotels after breakfast. Since I forgot to thank him after breakfast, I text Shaun to help me say 'thanks' to his cousin. (Till today, I'm not sure if he did it or not but he said he did)

This was our conversation through text:

Chriss: Shaun, can you help me thank your cousin for the ride today? I forgot to thank him after breakfast. Oh, tmr how? Thanks again. =)

*******************************************

I text Shaun when I was in the monorail. At first I thought he did not reply because he was either busy or out of credit, so I did not think much. After reaching at Central, I left the monorail and spotted Shaun walking in front of me, so I thought " Maybe he didn't text to save up on his credits"

We headed to the KTM since our destination were the same. That's when the crazy SMS-ing happened.

The train got delayed for an hour or so, and suddenly I got a text saying:

Shaun: Ya, I will confirm wif u again. I scare later like today. Suddenly change. Hahah.

*******************************************

Our conversation:

Shaun: Ya, I will confirm wif u again. I scare later like today. Suddenly change. Hahah.

Chriss: U got alot of crdt izit? So near also want to txt?

Shaun: Hahah. I don mind de. Nothing to do here also. Chat wif you la. Improve our relationship for awhile ma. Hahah.

Chriss: Really ntg to do la both of us.

Shaun: Hahah. Eh. C my finger. I invent de. Nice or not. No bandage ma.

(Shaun's finger got sliced that day, and he wrapped it with a McD's Sundae Cone cover with tissue)

The train arrives. Shaun got a seat and I was standing beside him.

Chriss: eh, see the guy sitting in front of you, he fold the ktm ticket like a cigg and smoking it. Addict la.

Shaun: Lol. Maybe he need more eh. Not enough. He din ask from me. I treat him ma.

Chriss: Okay, I want to sleep now, don need to reply.

Shaun: Hahah. I like to reply. For nothing. Hahah.

Chriss: Anything la, I want to sleep now.

Shaun: Later reach station then you know, Sleep. Faster sleep. Anyway, I saw (insert name here) just now. Missed the train.

Chriss: Hahaha, _____ damn unlucky la. The train delay for sooooo long, _____ didnt come down. When it leaves then _____ arrives. HAHAH, sorry, but that is tooo funny.

Shaun: I also cannot understand le. By the time _____ come down, the train leaves d. _____ memang unlucky la. But the next train not that long also la.

We burst out laughing. The lady sitting besides Shaun was starting to look at us funny.

Chriss: Eih, that lady beside you is looking at us la. Hahaha..

Shaun: That guy besides you also la. He think we sot d. He look at you weirdly. And he's quite gay (because he used a perfumed hand sanitizer). Hahah.

Chriss: Hahahah..we really ntg to do la.

Shaun: O my god. I think we're quite gay. Hahah. We really eat too much ntg to do ah. Hahah. Msg ppl besides in train. God.

This is Shaun.

Don't tell his girlfriend that he wasted his credit on me.

Imma Gleek!

I'm hooked on this series at the moment...okay, fine, not the series, but the songs.

It all started with Howard showing me this video in Youtube. Here are more songs from the series, and they are addictive. Their vocals are just amazing!

1. Bust Your Windows.



2. Gold Digger.



3. Rehab



4. It's My Life / Confessions, Pt. II (Boy's MashUp)



5. Halo / Walking on Sunshine (Girl's MashUp)



6. Mercy

Anti-Kanye West?

I know I am, after what he did to Taylor Swift during the VMA's. I bet Beyonce was shocked too, after he walked up on stage claiming that Beyonce's video should have won.

After doing that shameful stunt, he went on Leno's show and admitted that he was 'rude, period', and he plans to 'take time off to reflect on his behaviour'.

Do you think it's possible? Kanye West changing to be a better person? It's like expecting snow at the Sahara, NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.

What is done is done, no more turning back after something as stupid as upstageing someone and snatching a winner's mic while she's doing her speech. This is a "mlm" moment.

He can apologize 3 or more times but the world would never forget about this. Even if they did, I would remind them again. It was unprofessional, disrespectful and rude to the core. Nuff said.

I'm with you, Taylor Swift..and Beyonce was very kind for what she did after that. Find out more on youtube, and see how Kanye West made enemies with the audiences.

BOOOOOO KANYE WEST!

Nick: Rawr~Imma way-woff!

Chriss: Yea yea, and Imma Bampire!

Chelly: Me leh?

FHM (pt 1)

Help to Stop Fur Trade

Just watch this video and you will know what I am talking about. If it's real fur, just do not buy.




Updates on what have been going on recently.

Just yesterday, my friends and I were at Food Hospitality Malaysia at KLCC. I'll be posting the pictures up really soon, and be prepared to be impressed by the chef's skills.Today? Public speaking competition.

The theme was 'Independence', and people came up with self-independence, political independence and independence of their country. Mine was about Malaysia without independence.

Got a few giggles here and there, but the experience was fun, and I do not mind doing it again. I got 2nd runner up, which was not really what I expected...but, at least I know I gave it my best.

My favourite line from my speech, I took this from Little Britain, heee~

"....so do we all know what binge eating is? Binge eating....yes? Spare time went wrong." Hahah, the judges were giggling when I said that. Laughing is a good thing...and I will make people laugh more often. =)

So what else do I have that will keep me occupied?
- Industrial training interview at Sunway Resort tomorrow.
- Another visit to FHM tomorrow.
- Chinese Cuisine presentation (Due next Wednesday).
- Loire Valley wine research (Due next Wednesday).
- Spirit (Brandy) research (Due next Wednesday).
- English essay and presentation (Due on 25th August).
- Maths assessment on next Tuesday (18th..$&@#).

I wonder how many people are chosen for the P.S Nationals?

...The food, the drink, the service, the ice...

The puppy, the towel, the toy, your camera phone, the video...

Thanks to you, it made my day.

Sand Art

This is just really cool. Just want to share.

*psssssshhhhh...*

That's the sound my new Evian facial spray makes when I pop the cap open and sprays it on my face! =)

I'm kinda addicted to that 150ml bottle of water from the French Alps. It really is the ultimate mist experience. Unlike other facial sprays, this product won't soak your face up like a waterfall, it just leaves a cool, thin layer of mist.

Okay, okay, I admit it, it DOES look very feminine because it only comes in pink, but the salesgirl was very convincing when she mentioned that it's a unisex thing, and I strongly agree.

Everyone should have one Evian facial spray in their bag pack/purse/handbag/man-bag, because there is no reason not to.

1. It's convenient to carry around. It comes in a 50ml and 150ml bottle which fits perfectly into my pathetic excuse for a bag that Taylor's provide..if it can fit in there, it can fit ANYWHERE. It's very useful. especially now, during the haze, you do not want dust particles to be clustered on your face!

2. It's versatile, either at the office, in the classroom, or at home. You know how heat and air-conditioning affects our skin, so a few spritz several times a day will perfectly moisturize your skin on the go.

3. It's chic! *okay, this was mentioned by the salesgirl to Pol* Well, according to her, a spray of this will liven the colours of your make-up.

4. Just so you know, regular use of this spray will increase your skin hydration by 14%. You can either look fresh and young, OR choose to be one of those old hags with uncountable wrinkles on their whole face.=)

****************************

This is unrelated, but I just want to share this song. 'The Show' by Lenka.

Crazy spacings...

I'm not sure why, but the spacing in my previous post did not come out right.
So CACAT! &(*$!!!

curses~

Chinese Cuisine at Taylor's.

So my day started out as usual, me dragging myself into the bathroom, housemate wake up while I was in bathroom, but since I was in there, he went back to his room and sleep...so being a good housemate, I woke him up again after I was done.

=)

I'm very happy about that.
Moving on..

Pastry was the first class today, so we tried out hands on making Pandan Cake and Corn Cake, quite funky cakes if you ask me. I don't really fancy the taste. Since we do not have the real pandan, artificial pandan would have to replace it. For the corn cake, we used the cream corn in the can.

Just so you know, ever since we had our pastry classes in Term 2, we have to supply breads for the restaurant during their lunch service. Instead of the usual soft roll, we made baguette, and they turned out really good.

After all the bread making and cake decorating, Alex^2, Erwin and I went out for lunch. *Ahem* Budget lunch. I had charboiled pork chop with potatoes, mushroom soup, bread and a refreshing cup of JAsmine green tea, and it only costs me RM9.80.

>=D

Buahahahahah...BUDGET FOOD RULES!

Anyway, after lunch, we came back and Applied Kitchen Tech starts at 1:30pm.

Our theme was Chinese Cuisine, so on our menu was Chinese Spring Roll, Lemon Chicken, and Pan fried fish with Fermented Bean Sauce.

Jason and I were partners so we started our fairly well.

The Spring Rolls were the easiest.
So, RECIPES for you guys!!

These are all in estimated amount, you can have as little or as much as you want, I'll explain it later at the end.

You'll need:

- Chives

- Carrots

- Shitake mushrooms (soaked)

- Chinese black fungus (soaked)

- Cabbage

- Bamboo shoot

- Garlic

- Shallots

- Prawns

- Cooking oil

- Popiah skin

1. Cut the chives, carrots, shitake mushroom, black fungus, cabbage, bamboo shoot into matchstick size.
2. Crush the garlic and slice shallots.
3. Dice up some prawns.
4. Heat up cooking oil in a pan and pan fry the garlic and shallots.
NOTE: Make sure you don't burn it at this point because nothing is nice when it's burnt!
5. Toss in the other matchstick-sized vegetables you cut before, and pan fry it together.
6. Finally add in the prawn.
7. Season with salt and pepper to your desired taste.
8. When it is done, set aside and prepare your popiah skin.
NOTE: Place the popiah skin in a diamond shape in front of you.
9. Place the filling in the middle of the popiah skin before having the left and right side folded in. Then roll from the bottom to the top, or vice-versa.
10. Fry it in oil, and it's ready when it's golden brown...NOT totally brown. You know you're burning it when the sides of the popiah skin gets black.

Next was the Fish with Fermented Bean Sauce. For this dish, we used Dory fillet.

You'll need:

- Garlic

- Ginger

- Chillies

- Spring onions

- Rice wine

- Sugar

- Soy Sauce

- Vinegar

- Cornflour

- Fermented Beans (those sold in cans/glass bottles)

1. Rub the fish with rice wine and salt, and pan fry it on both side.
2. Dice the garlic, ginger and spring onion into little cubes. Remove the seed from the chillies before you dice it too.
3. Fry the diced items in a little oil that was used to fry the fish. This gives it a little flavour. After a few minutes (based on your instincts, yea?), add in a small amount of fermented bean paste.
NOTE: This is very strong stuff, a whole teaspoon will have you loosing your hair before you even taste it! It's extremely salty!
4. Mix the rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and a little water into your cooked items, and let it boil, then reduce the fire and let it simmer. This will be your sauce.

Okay, at this point, there are many ways of doing it, but I'll give you 2 easiest choice.

You can either put the fried fish in the sauce

OR

you can spread the sauce over the fried fish.

I'll be writing on the first option, the 2nd one is just as it is.

5. Mix cornflour and water, then add it in to your sauce. Stir it and let it reduce till you get your desired consistency.
6. When our cornflour goes in, stir it a while before adding in the fish.
7. Continue to let your sauce and fish simmer before plating it.

Lemon Chicken is my favourite. It was done before the spring roll even had a chance to peek out of it's plastic!

You'll need:

- Chicken (cut into strips)

- Flour

- Cornflour

- Egg

- Sugar

- Salt

- Lemon

- Custard powder

1. Make the frying batter by mixing the flour, cornflour, egg, salt, pepper, and water together.

2. Toss the chicken strips with custard powder. Dip it into the batter, and fry, then set aside.

3. For the Lemon Sauce, add lemon, sugar, salt, and a little bit of water together before simmering it.

4. Dissolve custard powder with water before you add it into the lemon sauce to thicken it.

5. Adjust the taste to your liking.

THAT'S ALL!

Everything is done, and it takes you less than 2 hours to have a 3 course meal.

=)

As you can see, I did not mention any measurement for the ingredients, because everyone have their own unique taste. If I said, 80 grams of shitake mushroon, and the individual does not like it, then it's a waste of mushroom. So adjust to your own liking. This way, you get to experiment on your tastebuds. If you want it sweet, add sugar. Like it more salty, add more salt.

********************

Tomorrow we'll continue witl more Chinese Cuisine,

and I'll update AFTER I play Harry Potter board games with Coffee.

What's going on in Term 3?

It's been going on for 2 weeks plus, but I've not updated anything about it yet...term 3, it started excellently!

The first class of the week will be Maths, followed by F&B theory classes on spirits. The next subject on my list this term is English, and not just by any other lecturer, by Dr. Anne herself. English became even more livelier when she's teaching, you really do learn more than English.

Aside from those 3, I'll be having Accounting again, but thank God, this time, it's easier because it's Cost Accounting, and it only concentrates on the expenses! Hmmm, what else is next?

There's the usual Kitchen and Restaurant operation, but this term we'll be having themes to go with our dishes and interior decoration.

The first week will be Malay Cuisine, followed by Chinese Cuisine, then Indian Cuisine.

International Cuisine and Asian Cuisine will be the final 2 weeks, so I'll be looking forward to those final 4 weeks, since Group 3 and 4 have alernate weeks in the kitchen and restaurant.

I guess this term, everything regarding kitchen and restaurant will be more on Malaysian/Asian Cuisine. Even during pastry, we did desserts such as Kuih Onde-Onde, Asian crepe, y'know, those green coloured ones with coconut fillings in it..then there's Kuih Ochi.

I wonder what types of desserts will we be doing tomorrow, Chinese desserts maybe?

Though we'll be more on the Eastern side this term, we do have something which relates to the Westerners, this IS a French Diploma anyway.

I have Oenology! In a simple sentence, it's a class where we learn about wines. =D

This is where the fun begins. We'll be tasting and experimenting on various types of wines, and Mr. Remi does his job very well, and he's French!

In my opinion, you're only qualified to teach Oenology if your family owns a huge vineyard and you make your own wine, and Mr. Remi and his family got these under their belt.

********************

So what else is fun about this term? The assignments! Where else can you learn about brandy, whisky, gin, wine and cocktails and mocktails?

Our assignement for the F&B theory class is on brandy, and my groupmamtes and I will be able to show our kick-ass cocktail making skills in class! *does 'Rock' sign and nods head*

For Oenology, Erwin and I will be writing on Loire Valley and the wines that comes from there.

In Applied Tech in Kitchen with Chef Fadzly, my group will be working on Chinese food...and we plan to bring in samples during class just to let the others take a try at it...hopefully there will be no suckling piglet! ><

There will be an assignment on English, but we've not touched that yet, so maybe by next week, we'll be given our topics.

********************

There's only Kitchen and Pastry Class tomorrow..

..which reminds me..

better go digest my notes now...

tata~

*ouch*

Some Korean bimbo just bumped her friggin bony elbow on my head!

She walked in, as if she was parading her Gucci/Prada sunglasses, and stopped at the door. Turned her head a few times to see if anyone was looking when she got in, but sadly, none was.

A few minutes later, her friend came fumbling in like a hog with buttered heels. The she-hog bumped into the Korimbo, who in turned dropped her heavy book. When that happened, Korimbo said "Haa, you're clumsy!" to the she-hog, and take another look around the computer lab.

Then she picked the book up, trying hard to be as graceful as can be, but sadly, failed again. When she got the book in her arms again, she walked behind me to get to the computers, and her hog friend followed, then they turned around the already cramped room, and BAM! She struck my head with her bony elbow!

Thats when she went:

"OH! Sorry! Are you alright?!"

So, in return, I replied:

"Heh~ yea yea" *fake smile*

Shortly after she apologized, she turned to her friend and suggested that they move to the second computer lab.

.....

.....

.....

.....

Dammit, she came back after 3 minutes!

The time has come...

...for me to choose a hotel for my Industrial Training at the end of this year. I've narrowed it down to:

Shangri-La Hotel KL

The Ritz-Carlton KL

Sheraton Imperial KL

Sunway Resort & Spa

Miri Marriott

Well, Le Meridian KL and Hilton KL were my choices at first, but since this is on a "first-come-first-served" basis, I missed out on those hotels. The pain of not having a laptop!

Aside from those 2, I had Sabah's hotel in mind, especially those in One Borneo, but sadly, none of those hotels were listed in the company list provided.

So..it all comes down to these few stated above, and a few others:

- Mandarin Oriental KL

- Palace of the Golden Horses

Yea, guess those few were it.

************************

After I keyed in my choices and sent out my application, this senior came in and started asking all of the juniors about their 'soon-to-be' industrial training locations. A few of them mentioned their hotels and that's when he blabbed out his 'opinions' about the hotels, stupid damn sh*t!

" THAT hotel ah, f*cking sh*t, better go work at Nando's if you want to go there. NO USE!"

"You'll be carrying chairs and tables if you go there, it's the fasting month la, a lot of banquets, especially at night"

"Their shifts are useless, you're lucky if you get to work from 8am to 6pm, if not, you'll be getting the shift till 11pm"

"If not enough manpower, they would want you to slave till late at night! Then how you go home?!"

"You choose where?! Trust me, better not, I worked there for 1 year, like HELL la!"

************************

If you're saying that he speaks from his experiences, maybe you're right, but the weird thing is, he criticized most of the junior's choices, but he never mentioned any good hotels to work in.

C'mon, who wouldn't be afraid after you mention this? We're going for our FIRST Industrial Training, so at least give us some tips on which to go, instead of just saying that the hotels chosen were not going to be beneficial to us.
