    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
    There funny story behind this picture and I shall keep it to ourselves. HAHA!

    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.

    Around 11pm, Yee Yean and I decided to go back home.
    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. >.<

    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
    Chef is giving some short speech.

    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

    My muscles were cramp for few days.
    I had some drink but not much.

    Then Saturday after work, almost all Sawasdee’s workers go KBox to celebrate Big’s farewell party.

    I cooked grilled pork and fried rice.

    On Monday, class was busy.
    We had 24 customers on that day.
    I wasn’t doing any dishes, so I helped up the services.
    After class, I went to Sawasdee to join the Big’s farewell dinner.
    It’s his last night in Australia then he going back to Thailand.
    Although I know him for a short time but he really a nice guy.
