So ok, if I dont continue my higher dip, Im going back to Club Med to work. They've offered me already. Why waste the oppurtunity? It is Club Med. And I was dreadfully happy there. So, why not right? Its not like I have anything else here. I have nothing. Im bored outta my wits here.


I'd rather kena bebel dengan Kak Ani than being in Subang. Stressful tau kena bebel ngan Kak Ani. But its nothing I cant handle. Ive gone thru worst. Trust me. Anyways, I have to say that I was not lucky in my 2nd training. Why? Coz they put me in Vege Room. I was frustrated like fuck ok? But I didnt have much of a choice. So I just went on with it. Tried to look at things in a positive perspective. I mean, I may not be at the buffet but I can improve on my cuttings. I can learn about the village's menus and recipes. That was what I did. I asked around.


Since they campak me in the vege room, I had to work straight when majority of the people there worked split hours. Since Kak Teh didnt wanna renew her contract, I was left alone in that god forsaken room. I didnt know what to do. I was so sloow. Felt like I was disappointing people. There was this one time, I almost cried. But Abang Adi ( Fine Dining Chef) comforted me saying that I was new and that I'd do better all in good time. I think I improved. I know what needed to be done. But speed wise, grr.. I only have 2 hands.. And with this 2 hands I had to prepare for lunch, dinner and lunch again. It was exhausting. I skipped lunch most of the time. But no one really appreciated my efforts. All they thought was how slow I was. Originally, Watie was in Hot Lunch. She was in charge of the Italian Corner. So after the buffet closes, she'd be in the vege room preparing for lunch the next day. So when Watie left for Hot Dinner, Assan took charge preparing lunch. I didnt even help Assan or Watie coz I was busy with Dinner's stuff. So can you imagine how I had to work when they said that I had to prepare for lunch too? Alone? I only have 2 hands. Work started at 8 and finished at 5. SUPPOSED. But no. I came in early. Skipped lunch. Went back late. No one appreciated my efforts. Not a single thank you. Choi, K. Ogy and others said that for a trainee, I worked to damn hard. I had no choice really. If I didnt do it, no one would. And it'd be my head on the chopping board. So I had to get it done no matter how tired I was.


Work is work. It never stops. It'll never stop. You just hafta deal with that. I dealt with it. But what makes Club Med so special was the people. The enviroment. Really. I had a family there. The Kitchen team are my family. Whenever I skipped my lunch, there'd be someone to bring me food or drinks. Always. And if I didnt take my breakfast, which was often, Nita or Abang Asereje ( Abg Zali) will get me some nasi lemak. And after the buffet closes, Mak will give me pizza. Or Zidane will get me something. Anything.. I miss those moments. I miss KhomKham too!!


YES! DEFINATELY GOING BACK WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS. BACK TO BLUE BYOU..
