carving pictures!!! :D

Will be uploaded soon when I have compiled them :)

Stay tuned :D

boring day @ work

Start 12, reached just nice. Slightly later.

Everything is in place.. Nothing much to do.

Took out the watermelon and show it to my chef. He start to trim it to make it easy for me to carve later.. Make some orders. Then he bake pudding. But as he was busy teaching how to carve, the first batch burnt.

We carved flowers. A bit out of shape thanks to me. -.- Its my first time so its alright.. :D

When Mr B came, we made burger patty. Do the mise en place first then after lunch we make. He mixed everything together, I'm just doing the shaping thats all. What a easy task! Then we had nothing to do. Really nothing to do except stoning, rotting, talking, staring into empty space and walking around the tiny space.

So I continue to carve my watermelon. Gave up when I see that its going to fail.. D:

Now all the service people, okay, all the guys (almost all of the outlet staff kitchen & service) called me xiao gu niang. Thanks to the dishwasher -.-" I just found out that I'm the youngest! :D No wonder they always call me little girl, ah girl all these.. SIGH. But 2 weeks I made so many friends! HAPPY~

One of the staff resigned, I thought maybe she's just slightly older than me. Guess what? She's like older than me by 10years. Gosh. Can't tell. The guys also look younger than their age. People nowadays sure know how to take care of their skin.. Haha.

The bartender who ganged up with the dishwasher, made me virgin mojito 0.0 Cause he was also bored. He's the one who scolded me on my second day, then I tell another staff that he scolded me, he say he can't remember. He half kneel and apologise to me say he was just kidding, so funny.

As I was very bored, I saw them opening the wine bottles. I said I knew how to open, they don't believe so I show it to them. Ha. They sure got a shocked. End up I help them open all, don't really mind since I had nothing else to do..

At night when I wanted to fry some nachos to standby, I realised Mr B has spoilt /wasted 5 packets of nachos. He cut them as a packet whereby I cut parts by parts. In his case, all the nachos became doubled layer. So when we fry, there will be huge bubbles in between making the nachos less appetizing. In the end, we fried those that I cut first.. And keep the rest.

The rest of the night, guess what? The dishwasher give me lessons about China. I only asked him which part of China he came from, he start to tell me a lot things. First, the map. Then he analysed the map. After that become the great creations of China, the laws, the crimes, the government hierarchy and the difference in how the words are written. Kept me entertained for awhile but its kinda ....

Anyway, that's how the day goes. It started by me carrying a 5kg plus watermelon to work and ended by me carrying a slightly lighter watermelon home.. My shoulder hurts. -.-"

CLOSING TIME

First time doing closing.. I went to work at 2pm cause tonight I'll be working till 10pm.. Nothing much to do when I reached as lunch is over.. So I didn't do much..

Cooked the staff meal, curry fish head and some vegetables :) With the guidance of my chef of course..

After lunch, made salsa. Then there's isn't much to do till night time.. Mr B bought dessert for us.. Haha.

Usually they said at night there's not much business but don't know why there's quite a lot of customers, and they ordered main courses instead of the usual sides. There's conflict between Mr A and Mr B about the oven door. Seriously, this is super funny!

I saw Mr A opening the oven door and didn't close it back so I asked him why and I closed it. Then he told me that it I close, the oven will still be cooking inside. But the thing is, the oven is on from opening to closing! It's never off at all. Mr B heard our conversation, so he came over and explain to Mr A. He explained till they almost had a fight. But this provide entertainment for the night :D

At 8, Mr A knocked off so left me and Mr B. Alot more work. Actually, I realised that both Mr A and B don't know what they're doing. They seems more like a trainee than me. -.-" Mr A, setting I do correctly for him, he go messed it up. Mr B cooked wrong things I had to cook again. If not they keep forgetting stuff.

It became busier later on, to the extend that Mr B is panicking. He rush the stuff but messed things up in the process. Then he spilled basil and oil all over his back without noticing. HAHA. I know I'm bad but it's really funny to watch. But I did help him to get a fresh new uniform to wear :)

When its time for me to leave, the business start slowly down so its not that bad.. But when I help to pack so stuff, I accidentally splashed boiling hot water onto my manager face and eyes. So unlucky! But he know it was accident so lucky for me!

THAT'S ALL! What a night!

YESTERDAY

I forgot to update last night.. Watched the magic show then super tired so went to sleep. Had a nightmare about 5 guys (i don't know who they are), they are friends but cause of money, 4 gang up to kill the other one D: Very bloody. WHY DO I HAVE SUCH A DREAM? -.-"

Anyway, I'm kinda rushing for time now so I'll just write in point form what I did yesterday.

1. Normal opening stuff - but I cooked too much rice -.-

2. Lunch was chicken rice, delicious! :DD

3. Sliced onions

4. Watched chef demo carrot carving

5. Spin carrot

6. Make frisee salad

7. Pluck parsley

8. Sliced lemons

9. Make tandoori chicken wrap

I think that's all.. They are not in order.. Haha. Work starts in 1 hour.. I'm so tired..

3rd opening

For some weird reasons, they kept saying I only do 2 things during opening when I did more than that..

- bake patties

- cook rice

- top up sauce

- take out everything

- check for spoilage

- check if anything need top up

- set up stations

These are only 2? :(

My chili con carne job was taken by Mr A and he did it wrongly.. So.. Nevermind. Plus I heard that he's quitting. This is his last week. Phew.

Today quite alot people order fish and chips. Almost not enough.. I sliced mushroom halfway got orders I go do then job snatched again. So irritating.

Then I was told to slice the burger bread and put butter, garlic bread, etc BREADS. In the process I accidentally cut my finger -.-" Oh well. After lunch I made curry chicken and see and guide Mr A how to do CCC. Sigh.

There wasn't much to do after lunch. But I learnt how to make the cobb salad and in the process of learning, Mr B come and mess things up. So irritating.

I think .. That's all.. Feel a bit emo cause my chefs kept saying I doing not very well.. Although they never scold but I know that they are disappointed :( So tired..

i forgot this

My hands, both hands got cut and is bleeding by a mysterious object which shape is a combination of a triangle, a tube and a semi circle..

Very unlucky. Feel worse at the end of the day.

Alright, it's really time for bed.. Goodnight to who ever reading this..

10 songs 1 mood

First saw you at the video exchange

I know my heart and it will never change

This temp work be alright if you call me

You call me

I lied awake at night for you

And I prayed

We crossed the deepest ocean

Cargo across the sea

And if you don't believe me

Just put your hands on me

And all the constellations

Shine out for us to see

And if you don't believe me

Just put your hands on me

The subway radiates with heat

We barely met but still I crossed the street to your door

And it rains in your bedroom when everything's wrong

It rains when you're here

And it rains when you're gone

Cause I was there when you said forever and always

You didn't mean it baby

In an ordinary fairytale land

There's a promise of a perfect happy end

And I imagine heaven just sort of that, it's better than nothing

In the corner of my mind

I knew too well

That surely even I deserve the best

But instead of leaving I just put the issue to bed and out of my head

And just when I believed you've changed for good

Well you go and prove me wrong just like I knew you would

When I've run out of second chances you give me that look

And you're off the hook

You'll be mine

Forever and almost always

It ain't right to just love me when you can, yeah

I won't wait patiently

Or wake up everyday just hoping that you'll still care

What am I still doing here

It's all becoming so clear

One day I'll turn around

I'll see your hand reach out

I'm only fooling myself oh

But maybe when you smile

It means you'd stay awhile

Just maybe you'd save me now

According to you

I'm stupid, I'm useless

I can't do anything right

According to you

I'm difficult, hard to please

Forever changing my mind

According to you

I'm boring, I'm moody

And you can't take me any place

I'm the girl with the worst attention span

You're the boy who puts up with that

According to you, according you

Here we are, seven days

And seven nights of empty tries

It's ritual, habitual

But it's never gonna work this time

We're to the point of no return

And along the way the only thing we've learnt

Is how to hurt each other

I'm looking back and wondering why

It took so long to realise

That nothing's changed, it never will

All these years of standing still

And still we stay in all this pain

And nothing's gonna make it go away

I don't wanna wait another minute

Put me out of my misery

I can read your mind baby you're not in it

And we're not what we used to be

No you wouldn't have to lie to me

If you would only let me go

And I don't wanna wait another minute to hear

Something that I already know

I know, I know, I know

Something that I already know

I know, I know, I know

I can't sleep

Everything I ever knew

Is a lie without you

I can't breathe

When my heart is broke in two

There's no beat, without you

You're not gone, but you're not here

Instead that's the way it seems tonight

If we could try to end these wards

I know that we can make it right

Cause baby

I don't wanna fight no more

I forgot what we were fighting for

And this loneliness that's in my heart

Won't let me be apart from you

I don't want to have to try

Girl to live without you in my life

So I'm hoping we can start tonight

Cause I don't wanna fight

No more..

How can I live

When everything that I adore

And everything I'm living for

Girl it's in you

I can't dream

Sleepless nights have got me bad

The only dream I ever had

Is being with you

I know that we can make it right

It's gonna take a little time

Let's not leave ourselves with no way out

Let's not cross that line

And I can't breathe without you

But I have to

Breathe without you

But I have to

You're the only thing I know like the back of my head

Listen to me hear what I say

I don't wanna feel

The way that I do

I just wanna be

Right here with you
I don't wanna see

See us apart

I just wanna say it straight from my heart

I miss you

Say you're sorry

That face of an angel comes out

Just when you need it to

As I pace back and forth all this time

Cause I honestly believed in you

Holding on

The days drag on

Stupid girl

I should've known, I should've known

Maybe I was naive

Got lost in your eyes

I never really had a chance

My mistake I didn't know to be in love

You had to fight to have the upper hand

I had so many dreams about you and me

Happy endings

Now I know

I'm not a princess

This ain't a fairytale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood

This is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you and your white horse

To come around

Oh whoa whoa whoa-oh

Try to catch me now

Before its too late

Its too late

To catch me now..

t stands for tears

Today when I start work, doing opening and stuff my chefs keep saying why my energy level so low.. I feel normal but quite happy cause I'll be spending the evening with my beloved xue sheng.. Haven't seen her for 2 years.. I was looking forward to meet her :)

So whole day work not very good. They say I don't remember the things they taught but actually.. I just haven't do yet.. But I didn't say anything to rebut.. Too tired and too rude to do that..

My tasks today was snatched by Mr A and another Mr B. I didn't get to do the things I never do before and was assigned to. My vegetables collected was taken away without my permission, when I went to hunt for those again, they are out of stock.. Now I have to postpone the things to tomorrow..

My other chefs told me to endure cause I'm just a trainee chef, and they will be leaving in 1 more week.. I just hope tomorrow will be a better day at work.. So now I'll just briefly list what I did at work..

1. opening: cook rice, defrost stuff, roast bacon, cook patties, collect ingredients, marinate fish but my chef said i only do 2 things.. -.-"

2. daily stuff, clean up, marinate more fish, slice tomatoes

3. make tomato sauce

4. prepare for chili con carne but ingredients got stolen so had to postpone

5. stewarding cause my jobs snatch by other "hardworking" people

Seriously, if you're busy when your stuff, don't snatch everything away. I also need to work! I was supposed to prepare lemons then snatch by other people like Mr B. I see eggs cooked already want to peel, Mr B although busy he still snatch. What to do? His rank is higher. But tomorrow onwards, if its mine, I won't let you do it. Like that how do I learn things?

That's work.

Cause they snatched everything away, I got nothing to do, was told to stay outside till its time to knock off. Colleagues are surprised at how different I look after I changed. I'M NOT FROM CHINA, THANK YOU. I'M PURELY MADE IN SINGAPORE! What the hell. Stop asking me this stupid question whether I'm from China anot. No offense but this is the same as saying I do certain things but I never did. I don't have anything against China or people from there, some people I knew are great, but I just wished at least recognise me as a Singaporean, I'm proud of being a Singaporean :(

Anyway, I went to meet yingying.. We were supposed to go timbre, but in the end we lost our way and the walk in time is over, so we went to another place instead. Raffles City, some chinese restaurant. Hong Kong food, very nice :) Actually we couldn't decide what to eat but in the end it turned out that we made the right choice by choosing the restaurant with more people and the food. I had the fried seafood noodles, very fragrant and tasty. She had baked chicken rice, cheesy and creamy :D She ordered milk tea but the tea taste too strong, not balanced. I had the mango breeze, its a ice blended quite nice and taste like mango?

Then we went to esplanade to take pictures.. At the lobby there's a band called B5 playing canon in D, in different version. They have trumpet, tuba, trombone, french horn. Relaxing music. Got some very interesting ones whereby we either look too yellow or too white. Haha. But its fun. Then we give up at the location cause its too dark. So we walk around the area instead.

After that we walked to clarke quay to take mrt.. Quite a long walk but we had a good chat.. Its good to meet up with friends once in a while, repair the lost friendship.. I hope to meet up with more people soon :) And do somethings together..

For people who don't know, or you think you know me, actually you don't. There's alot things that you don't know and maybe will never know about me. But its okay, sometimes its fun to be mysterious to a certain extent :x But yeah, actually I like sports :( But I got nobody to do with.. It is kinda boring to do it alone and some can't do alone.. Like badminton? And somethings are fun to do with others like ice skating? I'm not going professional so I don't practice by myself thus yeah.. But if its something that I don't know and really really really bad at it no matter how hard I try like bowling and snooker then its okay :)

I just wish everything will be fine soon. If, only.. This is something I can wake up from..

new day bad start

For some reason, I told my mum to wake me up at 8.45 when I'm supposed to leave house at 9.. -.-" Reached there around 9.40+ I thought I will be late but in there I reached there before anyone else did.. Stuck outside for quite some time..

When my chef came and open the door then I went in.. But can't sign in yet cause manager not here yet. Thus it seems like I'm late.. But its not my fault so sigh, don't care..

Do opening and wait for the rest to come and of course, the customers.. For some reason today I keep having headache.. Might be due to last night stuff.. Anyway, today is a bad day. Keep doing wrong things, can't concentrate.

Thanks to me, today staff food got extra dishes. 2 portions of fish and chips plus pizza. Dots. I got teased by my head chef.. Though he never scold me at all, I still feel bad for messing things up.. No energy no mood headache..

Made mixed salad.. Just some frisee and carrot.. Do until my hands very pain.. Its freezing cold and my hands are sore.. :( Work,,

Think that's all I did today.. At work..

Last day of the week~

FINALLY!! :D OFF DAY!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I forgot to type just now.. Hehe.

Today was quite bored cause not much customer..

WAS LEFT BEHIND WITH MR. A AND IS SO ANNOYED :( Cause of the things he do today again.

Anyway, when I reached at noon only 1 or 2 orders so I went to sliced capsicum for the patties and onions. Then lunch and stuff..

During lunch I had a conversation with a service staff then learnt quite a lot about the bar here.. And he was really nice and showed me the beverage menu.. There's KAHLUA AND TIA MARIA!! :DDDDD But a shot for $13.. Hmmm...

Really nothing much. Saw how Mr. A made pudding and making a mess of it. Which pudding is as hard and smell that tapioca cake?? Tomorrow others gonna have a shock.. They knew it was him doing since he INSISTED on doing yesterday. He wanted to do everything but he didn't ask how to do nor do it well.. And worst thing is he don't listen to the advice from others.. Which make him even more annoying plus he keep scolding vulgarities when things don't go his way -.-" What kind of person is he?

So he made the patty as well, I don't bother to comment on this cause its very !!! as well. I make the shape and wrap and keep. I was so bored in the afternoon that I cleaned the fridge :) But there's only a few so it was done quite quickly then I had nothing to do again. Then I chat with the dishwasher.. :P

Cooked Aglio Olio for dinner but then.. I forgot about the fire -.-" I only realised like when I wanted to serve.. No wonder no flambre when I add the wine -.-" So as expected, its not very nice.. I went to add the mushroom sauce instead but still taste awful :'(

Later the dishwasher microwave the food.. He eat halfway then short circuit! Stove, fryer, microwave etc all off. I thought it was me, luckily its not. But you know what, that Mr. A called the head chef and said it was after I used the stove like immediately short circuit make it seems like its my fault :( Sigh.

After we found out what appliance is the culprit, disconnect it then soon it was time to go home!

Oh, before another colleague left, he actually prepared a brownie on request by manager? for a boy to celebrate his birthday but they did not have chance to present it cause they left. SO much for trying to impress the customer.. Haha.

PIZZA DAY!

One more day to off :)

Today there's more orders than usual, like finally haha. But I didn't do much cause apparently I was too slow :( Oh well.. TODAY IS PIZZA DAY! Everybody order pizza.. So many orders.. -.-

Just did the regular stuff.. Only new things I did was, lamb stew, quesadilla (its super nice!), jazz burger plus the bread stuff.

Need to increase speed for slicing onions. Oh, I sautéed the onions too. Learnt about the fisherman basket..

According to the new email, we had to stick to the standardised recipe and presentation.. WHICH MEANS, I have to forget about the things I learnt this week! :( Sigh.

Tomorrow is pudding and mushroom sauce and patty and more!!! WHEE~!

My feet for some reason is very pain after work today.. Just saw the new schedule, I had to work morning and night shifts = opening and closing.. THANKS TO THAT MR.A from previous post. He is still very annoying, complaining today AGAIN and PUSHING BLAME AGAIN. Can't stand him.. Luckily he'll be transferring to some other place soon :) So is one of my mentor :(

4th day & im still clumsy

Mood: slightly better but still...........

ANYWAY, here's the 4th day..

Didn't do much cause of the training at CHIJMES. So I went to work as usual almost late thanks to that stupid sudden rain which made me missed my bus which made me missed the train. =.="

But I managed to reach 10mins before and scanned 3mins before.. PHEW. There wasn't much order.. Then I do the daily mise en place and marinate the fish, in the process freezing my hands.. Dots.

When the lunch hour end, one of the chef noticed a box, the pizza box with some writing on it. So we open and see.. Guess what? Inside is a pizza. And it is black. I'll tell the story later..

After the pizza thing, everyone got a shock. Then I cleaned the fridge and stuff had lunch and went to the training with another chef.. On the way, he told me the story.. Last night A (creator of the pizza) & B (the one telling) were on the night shift. B is more senior than A in term of position not age.. Anyway, so A left earlier than B cause his shift ended earlier.

10.05pm a pizza order came in. So A prepare and put it inside the oven and TOTALLY FORGOT about it. Even with the order slip staring right at his face. Needless to say, the pizza burnt. And there's burnt smell so the service staffS came to ask but he say nothing is cooking! And he didn't turn off the electricity and stuff then he went home.

Today he was confronted and the service staff and manager had taken picture as evidences but he refused to admit his mistake. He kept arguing. Its obvious that he's wrong, he keep claiming that he had already send the pizza. But the customer did not order and the customer was so angry that he complaint and refused to pay the bill. Naturally A had to pay since its his fault although he kept denying.

After the training, I went back to the restaurant to continue my shift. A came then another more senior chef told him that he should be more careful with the things he do, A used vulgarities and kept pushing the blame to other people. Like the service staff come in and do things which they can't cause they will be fined if they do so, he pushed to the dishwasher who don't know how to cook or operate the machine at all, more ridiculous is, he said our kitchen is haunted. What the hell?

So when I return work, spent quite a long time hearing the argument.. -.-" Now back to the training. Its about keeping the kitchen clean and same.. If you ask me, its the year 1 things.. Quite boring but I get to see friends from other outlets so ...

Learnt how to make tandoori wrap, quesadilla, jumbo and asian! :) Yeah!

I hope I will become better.. Very tired but I still enjoyed my work :)) Hopefully one day, my mentor chef won't say why I do things certain way.. Haha. I was told to train dumb bells! x.x

3rd day

Let's see how long I can last writing.. Dots.

1. Normal things plating, fries, wings, fish

2. Make tomato sauce

3. Peel potatoes

4. Pizza too much sauce

5. Slice onions, mushrooms

Can't really remember..

I was asked quite a few things that I've learnt in school but I can't remember.. :(

I'm still depressed..

yesterday & today

Yesterday and today, both days I woke up getting scolded by my mother about some stupid things that I didn't do, means not my fault. But I still get scolded and that really make my mood very bad.

Yesterday I got lost while going to work, again. But today I didn't.

Yesterday I brought a lot of things to work. Today I don't have to.

Yesterday I had a good day at work. Today I had a good day too.

Yesterday I've learnt alot of things. Today I learnt more and try to master some.

Yesterday I couldn't reach you. Today I could but I wish I can't.

Yesterday you didn't bother and its the same as Today.

Yesterday I fell asleep crying. Today I cried before I sleep.

Yesterday I think about you. Today I think I should forget about you.

Yesterday you didn't try. Today you try harder to kill me.

Yesterday yesterday I was fortunate. Yesterday Today I'm not.

I was happy before but now I'm not.

You used to care but now you don't.

Other people showed more concern than you. And you still think that you did nothing wrong.

You thought I don't know but actually I know.

I used to know you but now I don't.

I'm so tired but I can't lean on you.

So sad but I can't tell you.

So happy but I can't share with you either.

Angry and you won't listen.

Sick, where are you?

Yet you are there when I needed something, when I need help desperately.

Is that really you? The one who is there?

You are there but you are not here.

Or you have a split personality?

I tried saying but it won't come out.

Tried to give up so many times but I just couldn't do it..

I can only cry.

Things that I can tell no one. Nobody knows the truth.

Truth hurts, it already killed me.

But I can't say..

I can't tell you why..

So don't ask.

Just lend me your shoulder to cry..

Maybe one day when my tears all dried up, my miseries will all be gone.

:(

Work today actually quite well.. But straight after I end work, actually before I start work, in fact from yesterday after I end work, it has not been well.. Now there is only 3 words to describe how I feel. Exhausted, disappointed, miserable.

I don't feel like giving details on what happened and I don't feel like writing anything. So I'll just write what I did today to help my e-journal. I'm skipping out on the personal parts cause.. I don't want to start crying again..

Not really in order..

1. Scan finger

2. Change into uniform

3. Put bag at the special spot chef created for me, burnt my arm, left a scar

4. Fish & chips order came in, non stop making fish and chips, pizza, nachos and plating, fries, hot wings

5. Burnt my arms and hands a few more times

6. Chef taught me how to decorate pizza correctly

7. Lots orders come in, a little messed up. 20 pieces I counted 30..

8. 3 plus, ate lunch, chef cook, we chat alot

9. Mise en place, cut tomatoes, wrap shrimps, slice lemons, collect ingredients to top up, slice fillet and marinate for fish & chips

10. Drain beef to make beef patty, mixed, then wrap them.. Took me quite awhile..

11. Dinner, others ate rice and leftover from lunch staff food, but chef let me cook spaghetti

12. Another chef make cappuccino for me..

13. Make tar tar sauce..

14. Cleaned up whole kitchen cause tomorrow NEA people are coming..

15. I got the recipe book but its not updated..

Can't remember what I did anymore.. Sigh.. That might be all..

My official new nickname in the kitchen is Ah girl. Every chef calls me that.. Maybe cause I'm the only girl.. But they are very nice to me and let me try everything.. Which is good.. I'm getting hang of making fish and chips now..

But today, cause of you, I don't feel proud of myself, nor do I feel happy at all.

1st day of work

So I have not been updating cause I'm quite lazy.. Haha. But I'll try to write something throughout my whole intern so that I can remember, hopefully it'll last :)

Today is my first day of work. Woke up, get scolded by my mum about something -.-" and more things.. =.="

Then i pack my things and left house at 10am as planned. Missed bus -> missed train. Board train at 10.13am.. Reach raffles place at 10.32am rushed to work place.. Walked that irritating extremely long tunnel, went up the wrong escalator, had to asked for direction to my building.. -.-" This is not the first time I got lost finding it.. The other day I actually got lost 3 times before I found it.. =.="

Anyway, I still reached early.. Then I realised I don't need to bring my uniform cause they provide. Wear another person's uniform, it's really very very big. After that, I scanned my finger alot times but it didn't registered.. Oh well, had to write my name etc and pin it somewhere..

First thing, the chefs introduced themselves and I start work.. First task, go to walk in chiller and get some vegetables. In there, met another chef who helped me to get the stuff :D Then he tells me where to get certain things like where they are kept..

After that we all slacked for 1 hour plus till the crowd come.. We ate peanuts while waiting.. Haha. I realised my chef knew chef Joyce, what a small world! When the crowd come, there's quite a bit to do..

I'm in charge of the fryer today.. So I do the fish and chips, the fries, the wedges, wings and sausages and nachos. I also do the plating for the dishes. Then I make the hot sauce, sliced mushrooms, celery. Weight the spaghetti, prawns, make the chicken mayo, caesar salad, club sandwich, pizza.. Really did alot today..

My chef cooked seabass with some tomato sauce, it will very nice! The fries here also very good :) Maybe cause I fried hahahahah. The staff food was prepared by 2 chefs. Vegetables with prawns, and roast beef! Very tasty. Chef ask me how was it, I say very nice, he say I everything also nice.. Haha. Then he ask me to prepare staff food and asked if I only know how to cook maggi mee. Haha.

Anyway today was quite a good day.. :) Tomorrow till Saturday is 12 to 8pm.. hmmm. 8 hours.. Jia you!
