    Date: Friday, May 15
    Time: 8:52 AM

    Yawn!
    So bloody tired.
    Now I'm awake to get ready to work.
    Here I am to update my blog before I head to work.
    Supposed to update last night but I was too tired.

    Les's see what been happening for the past one week.
    So far I think only 3 events that's happening.

    Let me start of with Kok Wei's house drinking session.
    It was on last friday.
    After work, I went back home and shower then head to his house.
    Jun Jie, Xiang and Patricia were there already.
    Well, they said want to have drinking session but in the end didn't work out.
    LOL!
    I also didn't drink and just sitting down playing psp since there nothing to do.
    We catched up with each other since everybody was busy for the past few weeks. (:
    Then later on, we all feel hungry at 4 in the morning so we decided to go makan.
    We were thinking what places are still open tat night.
    End up, we went to Chinabar to eat.
    As I know, the food standard had went down. Tsk Tsk.
    After eating, we went back to Kok Wei's house.
    We only slept around 6 in morning and woke up at 3pm. =.=
    And I have to work at 5pm. -.-
    Here some pictures.

    Another event is clubbing with Sawasdee's colleagues.
    They all planned to go clubbing at Lavish.
    Joe also booked table already for that night.
    So I just tagged along since I stay at home also nothing to do.
    Although I'm not fan of clubbing but I did enjoy the night.
    We were like dancing the whole night.
    We drank shots a lot especially Bacardi 151. o.o
    Few people was dead that night but I'm not. *grin*
    The funniest thing happen is there bouncer standing behind Penny. Hoho!
    She was alright, just that she can't stand properly.
    There was a lady keeping an eye on her, then I think she called the bouncer.
    The bouncer came and ask her to go out and get some fresh air.
    At first, Penny resisted and said she alright and all.
    We have to like convince her that she have to go out for while.
    Finally she gave in and I bring her outside.
    The lady still follow us and tell us that she need to leave the club.
    I told her that the bouncer asked her to come out for while to get some fresh air.
    Then the lady disappeared.
    Lucky there's is nothing big happened. (:
    Clubbing end at 3 and some of them doesn't feel enough.
    So we all head back to Sawasdee and cooked something to eat.
    Carey and Jiab were completely dead.
    Like only 6 am I reached back home.

    Clubbing pictures. (:

    Last event of the week was chocolate making class again yesterday. (:
    This time we make chocolate with filling in it.
    Starting of the class, we revised the tempering for the chocolate blok.
    And this time we used dark chocolate to do.
    I have same partner as last week, Bryan.
    Then we did the chocolate bloks and it came out prefect.

    Photobucket

    Got all the *snap* sound. Hoho!

    After that, we learned how to put filling in the chocolate.

    Photobucket
    And the filling made out from untempered choc and hazelnut nougat. Yummy~!

    After that, we filled the mould with the tempered chocolate.
    Then we tilted it over to let the chocolate flow down.

    Photobucket
    Just like this with the 2 rods.

    After a while, we tilted back and started filling with the nougat and put another layer of chocolate to cover the filling.
    We succesfully created a new languages.

    Date: Thursday, May 7
    Time: 11:55 PM

    Phew!
    Tonight work was so busy.
    Just come back not long ago.
    Very hardcore work and tiring. >.<
    Started at 5 and finished around 11pm.

    Okay.
    Let talk about today class.
    I had chocolate making class this morning as I mentioned in my previous post.
    We started of with introduction to the chocolate.
    There new knowledge now added into my cooking dictonary. (:
    After introduction, we start with the chef demo how to temper chocolate and make chocolate block out from tempered chocolate.
    Then we off start with our own work.
    My partner for today is Bryan from Malaysia also. LOL!
    We get the milk chocolate from the machine.
    Photobucket
    This is the machine that we took our milk chocolate.

    Then we have to make sure is 43 degree.
    After that, we cool 2/3 the chocolate by moving the chocolate around the marble stone.

    Photobucket
    Photobucket
    This how we temperd our chocolate on marble stone.

    We need to get to around 27 degree then we put back into the 1/3 chocolate to get the heat back up to 30 degree.
    We did it prefectly and we put into the mould to shape the chocolate.

    Photobucket
    This the mould we put our chocolate in.

    Then we put chocolate on a vibration near the machine to get the bubble out.
    After that, we put the chocolate in a cooling machine to let it cool down.
    We have to repeat the process for 3 times so that the chocolate can set.

    Photobucket
    On the way inside the machine.

    Photobucket
    Coming out from the machine.

    The process took 7 minutes for one time.
    So we clean our bench as the tempering was super messy and make our uniform dirty.
    Chocolate is the hardest ingredients to keep clean.

    Photobucket
    Our dirty bench after cleaning up abit.

    After the process, we take the chocolate and put at the bench for half an hour.
    Then we go for break while waiting for it to set.
    Later on after break, we checked our chocolate and still not set.
    So we put in the fridge for while.
    Then we got our chocolate out and it was nice.

    Photobucket
    Chocolate blocks! Look yummy right? xD

    Zoooom inn~!
    Photobucket
    Our school name. xD

    Our chocolate got the 'snap' sound and indicate our chocolate being tempered correctly.
    It was quite a success for the first attempt.
    Then we have a second go and repeat the whole process again.

    The second process turn out to be like this.

    Photobucket
    Another blocks!

    It was good and nice for second attempt. (:
    Then we allowed to bring back home 8 pieces of the small blocks.
    Bryan didn't want, so he gave his share to me. Hehe~!
    My housemate and his girlfriend so happy when I bring back chocolate for them. Haha!

    Anyway this our chef Paul Hugdes's chocolate when showing demo to us.

    Photobucket
    Photobucket
    Nice ain't them? (:

    Overall, is a good knowledge to learn and all.
    Glad that I didn't miss out this class.
    I'm looking forward for next week class as well.

    Picture of the class. (:
    Photobucket
    Myat posing for the camera with his chocolate.
    *He requested it* =.=

    O ya, I got more shifts now in my new workplace.
    Starting new week, I have to work Wednesday and Friday lunch.
    Going be super busy. (:

    Before I end this post, I want to dedicate something to someone I love the most.

    Happy birthday MOM!


    You're the best mom ever.
    Although I made you angry and keep get scolding from you, but I know you did that for my own good.
    I know you won't be reading this.
    And if you do, I confirmed get scolding from you about my life in Melbourne.
    I hope I didn't get you worry back home about me living in here.
    I wanted to tell you how much I miss you and want to celebrate your birthday with you.
    I already missed 2 years celebration with you.
    I hope you keep healthy and don't work so hard.
    I will try to lower down your burden and hopefully I can send some money back to you later on.

    My Mom birthday is on 2nd May.
    I was suppose to post it few days ago but I was supposed to get pictures from Vicki.
    She said she want to wait for Mother's day and buy two things together.
    Since she willing to help me to buy stuff for my mom, I can't really blame her.
    Hope I know what she buying for my mom.
    Look like my wallet will get hole when I go back to Malaysia as I owe Vicki a lot but worth every cents because is for my Mom! (:

    That's all for now. (:
