Your Inner Color is Red

Hospitality

I went to Nando's at Parade last Weds with my sister. Actually it was my idea coz I wanted to try nandos and she's a fan and knows what to order. Bumped into Chef Chong. Awkward really. Anyways, while I was waiting for my food and my sister told me to turn arnd. And so I did. I saw an old school mate of mine. She was in my class in form 4 for a while then she shifted elsewhere. So chatted and all. Was talking bout her. Her studies. You know the whole catching up thing. Then she asked if I was still in TCHT. I said I was, then she said me, ' senang.' It was in a polite tone. I mean I know you're doing law and shit. And I know it aint easy doing law. Ive never under estimated other courses. I never did. Never will.

There are people out there who dont know what Hospitality means. Sad really. What we do, are indeed very important. We supply the 3 very basic human needs. Food, drinks & services.

Face it, we dont want to have dinner or lunch at home everyday. It gets boring. I know. Im one of those. And when you do go out for lunch or dinner or whatever, the f&b people takes your order. Without them, your food wouldn't get delivered. F&B people can be those servers in fine dining restaurants to the An-ne's at mamak stalls. So basically, without them, you wont get your food.


We supply food. You go to a certain restaurant, you demand food. Thats when we come in. We cook your food. The food that you want. So, basically, we're the reason you even leave the house. And for you not to know what HOSPITALITY means, pathetic. Just sad. No offence.


What we do in hospitality school are anything BUT easy. We're learning how to give good services. I'm learning how to cook serious shit good but weird food.

Shame on you who thinks hospitality is easy. Think again. I'd like to see you do what I do. Its not only mentally challenging, its physically challenging too. Standing from 12 pm to 10 pm plus is not fun. We're basically stuck in a very hot kitchen! Not to mention packed.


I do what you do. I learn law. I do finance. I do marketing. I do accounts. I business math. I do Human Resource. I do Enviroment. I do English. I do more than what you're doing. Im doing the very basic. Let me ask you something, do you do Oenology? Do you do Housekeeping? Do you do Front office? Do you do Kitchen technology? Do you do F&B? No right? So just think wisely before speaking. You are doing law. You should know better.


Im sorry if I sound childish. I find it unfair for people to look down on hospitality. Its NOT a course for those who failed SPM. Many people joined this course mainly because they thought it is not maths involved. Think again. We do math. Business math. And it aint easy. So yeah. Im pissed alright. What rights do you have to say what you said?


Whats your learning style

You Are a Auditory Learner

You tend to remember what you hear, and you have a knack for speaking well.
You excel at debating, foreign languages, and music.
You would be an excellent diplomat - or rock star!



Haha.. Rock star ey?

French Week

Life's been good. Just ok I guess. Dean came last 2 weeks. It was all good. Watched Spiderman 3 together. Spent alot of time catching up. Did breakfast with Chai Yi. Laughed and laughed. Missing him greatly. Hopefully the Perhentian trip with Dean in July's on.. We'll see.


Lets talk bout this week. I had my kitchen class yesterday. It was horrible!! I mean it was fine but the starter was such a bitch. We were supposed to cook soft boiled egg with murney sauce but the quality of the eggs was so bad that it was impossible for it to be soft boiled. In the end, chef kartina told us to hard boil it. ergh. leceh. But my murney sauce was GOOOOOOOOOOD!! The duck was GOOOOOD too!! teehee. The dessert was creme caramel. It was good. All in all, it was good.


M. Yeoh selected a bunch of us to join the Role - Play competition for French week. I was excited. Originally, it was supposed to be me, kyky, ice and reuben in a group. But Ice left the group so, M. Yeoh merged my group with James's group. So it was me, james, kyky, reuben, andrea, justin, ming yi and prince after the merge.
The merge was last minute. We didnt know what to do. At least, i didnt know what to do. M.Yeoh wanted us to do the directions thing. It was boring, I thought. But then, after James emailed me the script, I thought it was rather funny. Something different. The whole idea was boring so they decided to cheer it up by coloring the characters. 2 idiotic policemen, 2 indonesian tourists, 2 tourist, a hot local girl, and a taxi driver. The first time we practised it was a day before the competition. It was funny and all. Today, before the competition, we rehearsed and we came up with even more funnier things. Kyky came with the soundtrack and all. It was great.


Chai Yi's group joined too. If her group had spoken louder, it would have been alot better. But hell, she did a good job anyways! The other BDH was just ok. I couldnt hear anything. I didnt know what theirs was all about. DT on the other hand, did well. Vanessa, Allison, Joanne and the other girl acted great. James told me that their role play was 3 pages long. And ours was just 11/2 page! And we exegerated ours to 5 mins!! Gila right?


Our turn came, and we did our best. The audience was laughing. That's good, was what I thought. I wasnt expecting anything. Honest. Thought DT was gonna win. But to my surprise, we won 1st place!! Happy ok? It was a last minute thing. Really is. We have M. Yeoh to thank. That mother-father.! haha.



Half of the group
The dude next to me is our lecturer. With DT.
Look who I found? =) Wee2 & Venny.
