happenings from aug till now
Continued from where I stopped months back..
School orientation basically just a talk and give out some information thats all.. Nothing much happened that. Nothing interesting at least.. Not that I can remember~
School started shortly after. Lots of hectic stuff. First block I have nutrition, gastronomy, psychology and french. Nutrition things are similar to what I learnt in F&N, however, whats given to us in lecture no necessary is the answer. Then why is it being taught? Beats me. The assessments and stuff, not something that I will use in real life thats for sure. I'm not a very health conscious person :/
Gastronomy is cool but the topic is very dry.. and need a lot of memorising which obviously, I'm useless at. But its still very cool. Both nutrition and gastronomy are completed, results are.. average. Nothing that I'm proud of.. Psychology till now I'm still taking it.. Very interesting but very hard to do well. The concepts you understand but don't understand. What you understand is not what it is. And thats how I failed my first assignment in this school. =.=" I haven't fail anything for very long, unless taking nutrition into consideration. But again, that can't really count cause the way it is being assessed is ridiculous. Get one question wrong, you failed the entire quiz. How is it possible when the things inside is not even taught or the answer from lecture is not accepted? Go figure. Anyway, psychology really helps me a lot. Understand a lot of my behaviours, its still a challenge for me to understand this class though. I know I won't do very well but at least, pass please!
French is also in process. This is super duper interesting! Its literally the lesson that I looked forward to every time. The language is so cool! Its hard to learn cause I have no french background, but its just so interesting and fun :) Can't help but buy a dictionary to help me with it. And of course, play around and teach boyfriend ;) J'aime francais! whee~ Recently just had the french oral which I did average, somewhere in the middle and the final exam which listening.... I can't catch whats being said at all. Too fast for me =.=" DAMN. I wanna go France too! :(
Then next is culinary fundamentals, which as mentioned in the previous post. I shall not elaborate too much on this. Had lots fun, refresher module. Learnt quite a lot of new things, see quite a lot of cool things. I'm glad I'm a student here! :D Exposed to a lot of things that I think its hard to get outside. My chef know so much that whatever I asked, I get my answer. And he don't mind my silly questions. Hehe. Currently, 4th day of meat fabrication which is also mentioned in previous post. So far. Still manageable I guess.. 35 years of experience, wow. He wasn't kidding when he say that, my butchery chef seriously know everything about meat. Lesson is interesting and funny and very easy to understand. Practical.. Sigh. Is another thing though. Meat :( Suddenly I just have some grudge against you. Hmph.
Another thing is.. I am now working too. At a Italian casual dining restaurant as a commis chef. Helping out with mise en place etc. Flexible schedule like extremely flexible. Pay is good too. So weekends are burned working too. School work work school. Life? Where is it? Sleep? Less than 6 hours per day. Meals? Once per day. What to do.. No money no school. School fees are increasing every semester. How nice. But can't argue much about the education I'm getting though, with nutrition as exception of course.
Alright. Time to sleep. JIAYOU! Seriously work harder!
My dearest brain. Au revoir.

post in months
As usual didn't update, downloaded the blogger app it wouldn't even load. Makes me even lazier to update. Besides, there's really isn't any time to do so. Everyday is so packed with work, projects and homeworks and tests and quizzes and exams. And more of them. Update? Don't even have enough time to sleep! But despite the fact that tomorrow I have to wake up early for work, I kinda felt the urge to blog.
Today is a very disappointing, demoralising day for me. Haven't felt so useless for a very long time. The topic for meat fabrication class today is pork, we were cutting pork center loin. I am extremely slow. Everybody is done with deboning and is moving on to tying the roast or denuting the sirloin yet I'm still there, barely halfway through the ribs. Had such a hard time deboning it. The meat just refused to come out nicely. It was frozen inside, held the meat till my hands are numb and blistered. Cut and cut, no progress still. Felt so frustrated why I am the only one so slow. Everybody seems to have no difficulty in this yet I can't do it. Finally get it out with the help of my partner, he cut his finger in the process.. Feel so bad about it.. Especially when the blood keep flowing and filled the glove with it :( The rest, tying the roast, portioning, denuting wasn't that hard. But I'm already depressed. Chef is happy with my overall product but I'm not.
Went to meet boyfriend and his parents in town, stuck in traffic jam for 1 and a half hour, doesn't make me feel better. They were buying clothes for holiday, a trip to Switzerland, dubai, germany and france, somewhere I can't afford to go now.. His mum got me a very expensive winter jacket, same design and colour as his for my california trip. Early christmas present. I supposed that did cheer me up a little.. Then we went for dinner at this very interesting Japanese pasta restaurant. Italian style but with Japanese methods and flavour. Not very pricey yet delicious and the portion is big. I totally forgot about the unhappiness. Until just now. I recalled that the grades is out. So I went to check it out. Everything was very good, almost full marks or close to it except for my finals which I just passed. It pulled my entire grade down. A lot. I could have gotten A, distinction but I can't. All because I didn't study hard enough, I was too tired the night before so I just went to bed without studying and only look through it before the test. Underestimated the MCQ.
Although now I have A-, I really could have gotten better grades if I can at least get 2 or 3 more questions correct. Can't help but think that I really should have read more but its really too late. Just so disappointed. The final result is not entirely out yet cause the system can't process a few of the components, but no matter how I calculate, I can never hit the percentage. Stupid me. My classmates are very nice, comforting me. I know there's really nothing I can do now, but can't help but feeling down at the moment.. All I need is one mark. Will there be a miracle?
