learn something new that is important for me...^^

Its though for people who works in kitchen, we takes pressure, stress and heat. But no matter what i choose, I'll not regret... recently the pressure i receive is more...but i don't mind i take it as my experience. But no matter how, I'm looking forward to do the best and i want myself to get good result for what I've chosen for my future. As i said, today I'm seriously exhausted, staff in my kitchen are leaving 1 by 1 and i hope, the chef will do something with it, cause things, desserts from my kitchen are not done and we are lack of people to do it. Well, today I've learn something better, prepare a display wedding cake for tmr wedding function. First, i thought it was easy just like preparing mazipan for cakes, but this times i've to handle the sugar fondant. Well it does not tear easily like mazipan when i rolled it, but it will harden if i leave it for awhile, and when i continue to do it when it is harden the whole piece will crack, and it it do...i'll have to thorw it back to the mechine again before i use it again or another short cut way is just to touch up with, something called side decor icing fondant(tht's what my kitchen called) its a soft type when we can piped it and it will turn hard too, after awhile...another thing about handling this sugar fondat... i've to cover the strofoam, after covering it perfectly, i've to crack my head to remove the rest of the fondant that i don't need...i'm still slow in doing it, by the time...the fondand will start to dry and become hard...This is the 1st time for me to do dummies wedding cake(display wedding cakes) but its a little different from the rest. Might be i should work out on it, so it will be smooth when i do it the next time...Well after doing that, i thought of doing my own wedding cake for display in my home, might be abot 3 cakes will be resonable with the colour of sky blue and roses made by mazipan on the side of it...if more than tht, i need helping hands...>< Well, not much to worry about, cause pay will be out soon and i'll have the money to buy the ingredients to do it...hope i can start doing it a.s.a.p.

need to remove the evil in me and be a better person...

Days after days...well everything passed quickly, its been 2 and the half month working here in Malacca and everything still goes smooth, no matter what. Well, its because i take everything easy and nothing much for me to worried about. I finished my studies but the things is, i just want to go deeper into my studies that is degree. But it was quite disappointed, my scores for my theory are not as good as my practical. Well, lots off people thought I'll pass, but don't forget no matter how perfect we are, we'll fall someday. I don't blame myself for failing this time and it doesn't mean I'm a failure, but why not i give a try by taking 2nd time. Simple things are not created for us to worry, might be we just need some time to make a decision or to solve it, and ya! recently people around me said I've changed. Well, might be i do change, i admit i have the bad and the good side. But this time the bad side is more than the good ones. I know I'm better than before, might be i just need some time. We can't change a bad to a good ones in just 1 night, but we can change a good ones to a bad within a minute. To be a better one, parents comes first. I do ask myself sometimes, do i respect my parents? Well, my honest answers is sometimes i don't. Cause i don't really listen to them. The problems is here, i cant change the others of my bad side before this, but i guess i just need time. "Papa" and "Mummy"...please forgive me for being rude, you're the best parents and provide me the best all the time...Well, sometimes parents do nag at us, or even yelled, this is because they want us to go through the correct path, but we as their children have to understand. Might be, the way they teach us or brought us up are a little old fashion, but don't ever forget, this is how they've been brought up, and they had been through everything, and they are walls and shelter to us now. But now times moves forward and things changes, so we have to understand them. "Papa"..."Mummy"...Thank you... I'll make myself a better person and i won't forget what you have done for me...
