    Date: Saturday, June 6
    Time: 10:51 AM

    Good morning everyone~!
    I'm back to update my blog.
    Sorry for the late update.
    I was busy with work and class. >.<

    Okayy, Lets see what been happening for past few weeks.
    I shall start with the latest this time. (:

    Hmm.
    I had finance test last Tuesday and it's pretty easy.
    So can get A I hope.
    Now I only left like assignments and presentation.
    Then I'm done for my semester.
    My holidays will start on 19 June.
    So guys, book me fast before I get packed with work. (:

    O ya, I said I will update about Kar Yee's Birthday.
    I start planning suprise for her like 3 weeks before.
    Ya, I know is early but then I scare other people will be busy.
    So must as well book people on that day. Haha.
    I got help from her sister and Shireen.
    The suprise went quite good and successful.
    I baked a Chocolate cake with Chocolate Bavarios.

    Photobucket
    Chocolate cake with Chocolate Bavarios

    At first we scared that the suprise won't work as her sister said that she not sure whether Kar Yee will be at home at night.
    After like few times changing the plan and unsure, Shireen told me that Yee Yean told Kar Yee that he will be meeting her at 6.
    So I thought of new plan and planned to go her house before 6 with Shireen and Yee Yean.
    I scared my cake won't work as I'm not sure the chocolate bavarios will set. >.<
    I finished the decorations just before Shireen came to my house.
    After finishing last deco on the cake, we waited for Yee Yean to come to city.
    Then we head to her place.
    During that time, Yee Yean and Shireen keep on 'debating'.
    It's so funny to see both of them trying to tease each other.
    Upon reaching the station, I messaged Carmen to come down saying she need to pass something to friend. xP
    Meanwhile that time, Kar Yee msged Yee Yean where is him.
    We like being evil, asked Yee Yean to reply that he couldn't make it due to alot of asssignments. Hoho!
    Then later on, we go up the lift after Carmen come down with a piece of paper. Haha!
    We standing outside the lift trying to light up the candle and write the cake.
    We were basically blocking the lift and people was laughing when they see us. >.<
    Then Carmen and Yee Yean go in first so the cake will go in last.
    After they go in, Shireen and I went in with the cake as the door wasn't locked.
    Kar Yee was suprised seeing us and we sang Happy Birthday along the way.

    Here the pictures during that time. xD

    After eating the cakes, we went to have Korean food at Caufield.
    On the way there, while waiting for train, we took some pictures.
    Photobucket

    After ordering, I realised that I didn't bring enough cash.
    Dumb dumb la me. >.<
    Go find some ATM since Kar Yee didn't want to tell me where. =.=
    So walk around Caufield, then found the bank I wanted.
    Took out some cash and head back to the restaurant.
    The food was there when I reached there. So nice. (:

    After eating, I didn't let Kar Yee paid.
    So it just three of us. (:
    That's my purpose to go bank to cash out. xD
    Then, Shireen had to go back to finish up her presentation.
    So, Yee Yean and I decided to teman birthday girl for a while.

    Went back to her place.
    Funny thing, in the lift there a guy staring at us.
    After coming out from the lift, Kar Yee said, "He must be thinking that I bring to two guys back in the middle of the night."
    We burst out laughing.
    Her mom still awake because waiting for her daughter ma. Haha!
    We talked about our past and all.
    Get to know more stuff about Kar Yee and Yee Yean.
    Her mom even said I look familiar.
    World could be small and I probably know her mom somewhere but I couldn't remember.
    Maybe my mom know her mom. Haha!
    We started taking pictures before we leave.

    We talked along the way back.
    Get to know him more now. (:
    Then reached Flinders St Station and wait with him for his train to come.
    Meanwhile waiting, we still talk and all.
    After that, I went back home since I live in the city.
    Overall, it's was a successful and happening night.
    I hope everybody had a great time especially the birthday girl. (:

    Okayyyy. Now about my godsister's birthday.
    I also baked a cake for her.
    Her cake is Chocolate Orange Torte.

    Photobucket

    It was my first time doing the cake and it turned out nice.
    Everybody liked it and I'm glad my baking improved.
    One day before her birthday, Penny came to my house to help to bake the cake.
    She was sick, so she didn't really help but she did help to put CHILLI powder on her muffin.
    We decided to prank her with the small muffin tho.
    HAHA!
    After work, we got some crab supper then we start to celebrate her birthday.
    Then after eating and taking pictures, everybody sit down to play Chinese Royale and drink.
    It was fun that night but I didn't get drunk.
    That's cool right. (:
    I reduced my drinking alot already. >.<

    Later at night went to work.
    Well, I didn’t drink at all.
    See, told ya I can keep my promises. xD

    Saturday not much things happen besides working.
    Didn’t drink as well on that night.

    On Sunday, I went out to buy ingredients to bake cake for my friend’s birthday with my two sis and Fei Chai. xD
    After buying all the stuff, head off to work.
    After work, some of us which is Elvin, Ai-Lynn, Penny, Season and I went to KBox to sing karaoke. xD
    We sang till 3am in the morning then head back home.

    Monday, I in charge of Caesar Salad and turned out not bad.
    Photobucket Image Hosting
    Got few customers walk in as we got no booking on that night.

    After class, I quickly rushed off to Carey’s (second sister) apartment to start to bake cake.
    Penny (Big sister) was suppose to come but she too tired.
    The cake I’m making is Green Tea cake with strawberry coulis.
    Well, preparation took quite some time as there break in between.
    The baking end at 3 am and I head back home to finish the rest as Carey’s housemate need to sleep.
    I didn’t sleep the whole night just to finish up the cake as the next day I got whole day class.
    I finished everything at 9 am something as I need to wait sponge to cool down.
    Decorate it and put in fridge then get ready for class.

    I was so freaky sleepy on Tuesday.
    During Dietary class, we have to walk 2 rounds at Flagstaff Garden.
    Men, I already tired and have to walk somemore.
    I even fall asleep in class for few times.
    Later on, during practical we have to prepare processed fish’s dishes.
    The pictures will do the talking.

    I didn’t take picture of fish sausages.
    I quickly rush and clean everything, even help others because I need to go to my workplace with the cake.

    I went back home and quickly take shower then head off to Sawasdee as they having dinner there.
    I walked to there while carrying cakes and a bag of equipment.
    When I reached there, I just realised they waiting for me to start the dinner.
    I didn’t know about that as I thought the dinner started a while ago since my class end at 9 pm.
    We ate the dinner then took some pictures.
    Birthday girl (Season) was so pretty that night and everybody dressed up quite good except for Sudono.

    Happy Birthday Season Zhao Yang.

    There tons of pictures but currently is not with me.
    So I will post it up when I got those pictures in my hand.
    The cake turned out good except it pretty hard to cut.
    Guessed I put too much flour in it. xD
    But the taste was alright, that’s what everybody said as I didn’t try some.
    Season was touched by the cake.
    Well, at least my effort paid off in the end.
    After staying a while after dinner, I head back home to sleep as I really tired that time.

    Wednesday, I got open book exam and it turns out pretty good as I did few careless mistakes.
    I got back my last week’s results and I got a B.
    Guessed I done pretty fast and leave out some points.
    After class, when I reached home, I just realised I didn’t bring my key out.
    So I have to wait for my housemate to come back.
    I was planning to take nap before I go out as I lack of sleep.
    But I can’t, so I decided to call Kok Wei to have lunch.
    He bring me to Chatter Box and ate some food there.
    I ordered Spicy chicken with rice and it really not nice.
    It should be spicy but ended up, too salty.
    After catch up with Kok Wei, headed back home as my housemate already back.
    Then later went work.

    Today got no class, so I’m kind of rotting here.
    Doing my laundry now.
    Before I finish off with my post, I would like to dedicate Happy Birthday to someone.
    Happy Birthday Yee Sook Yan.

    Date: Wednesday, September 3
    Time: 12:11 PM

    Hmm. Look like this blog going to be dead if I don’t start to update.
    Okay. Let start from Friday since Thursday nothing to updates.

    On Friday, I had restaurant class as usual and the bistro was closed for the day.
    So the chef doesn’t want to waste the food for the day.
    Then he called us to set up the table and put like 3 portion of each dishes on the table.
    And we all sat down, eat and give comment about the food.
    There few pictures.

    Photobucket
    The table we set up.

    Photobucket
    Everybody is getting ready to sit down.

    Photobucket
    FOOD~!!

    Photobucket
    My dish (Braised Syrian chicken with ginger, lemon and saffron and Orange and pistachio nut couscous)

    Saturday and Sunday basically working.
    Saturday I got really drunk and that will be last time of my drinking.
    I just don’t like the feeling of waking up tomorrow feeling shyt~!

    On Monday, restaurant class again and I cooked steamed fish with beetroot relish.
    That day got customer work in and was quite busy.
    So I didn’t get chance to take photo of my food.

    Tuesday was a relax day I should say although I got whole day of class.
    For dietary class, there something interesting going on.
    We get to check our all info for inner body including age.
    Is not compulsory but I give it a go.
    No big deal knowing about it.
    So the results were good.
    I will post the results here for you guys to see. xD

    Name: Tan Jia Yuan
    Gender: Male
    Age: 19
    Height: 165cm ( I grown! But not till the target I want.)

    The results of the Body Fat Monitor.

    Weight: 53.6 kg
    Fat: 10.8 (0) %
    Hydration: 65.3%
    Visceral Fat: 1 (0)
    Muscle Mass: 45.3
    Physical Rating (1-9): 4
    Bone Mass: 2.4kg
    Basal Metabolic Rate: Kilocals (1443) Kilojoules (6062)
    Metabolic Age: 12

    Let me explain for more details.

    Body Fat Percentage – the percentage for Male between 19-30 age should get 8% till 20%.
    So I consider good.
    U realise about the (0) beside the number.
    That indicates Healthy. xD
    For Hydration – Male should get 60 to 65%.
    So I’m really good since I got more than enough water in my body.
    For Visceral Fat – 1 to 12 is healthy. xD
    Muscles Mass – Weight of muscle in the body.
    Quite muscular ah me. xD
    Physical rating – 4 means under exercised.
    That mean I have to exercise more. xD
    Bone Bass – amount of bone (bone mineral level, calcium or other minerals).
    I should get average 2.6kg, so I need more calcium.
    Basal Metabolic Rate: quite high for me. xD
    Metabolic Age: minimum 12, so I might be lower. So I’m young.

    That the results I got and pretty satisfying tho.
    Later on at night, I got fish cooking again.
    This time is about Flounder fish.
    We have to cut the fillets out and debone it.
    Make 3 dishes out of 2 flounders which not big.
    Pretty easy and we finished an hour early.
    My partner and I finish earliest as we are organized. xD
    Pictures at the bottom and enjoy them. Hehe.

    Today had a closed book exam for Food Safety.
    Well, I didn't really study as I know almost everything and I concentrate in class all the time.
    I took like 15 mins when the time given is 45 mins.
    Basically, the paper was pretty easy and straight forward.
    I don't hope for better mark beside pass. xD
