Drop Dead Exhausted.

Weekends are crazy in both DL outlets. Its like, the customers know just when to bully us - always when we are short handed. At least Solaris outlet is doing well on weekends so no complains..

In Aman Suria, we used to have some local celebrity, hosts, writers etc. coming in to chill out and such. The most famous among all has gotta be Daniel Lee of Malaysion Idol fame. He was there twice.

Today in Solaris, Xandrio Ooi came. Who? She came in looking all cool but was in fact pretty friendly and chatty. I didn't know who she was until she introduced herself after asking for my name. Claimed that she'll come again. We'll see....

I'm Done.

Surrendered my student ID to college today. With that, I have thus completed my course withdrawal process. Yes, I have withdrawn from my culinary course permanently because (1) I am too busy to attend classes and (2) I am not quite happy with the college.

Ok. I admit. I can live with working and studying at the same time. I just can't take how the college manages its stuffs. Rather than complaining too much, I decided to just quit. And I know I could find better if I really wanted too.

So there. End of the student life for me. And I have yet to use my student privileges. Darn.

Procrastination.

Wow. The overused word when I was in uni. It's always procrastination when it comes to assignments, studies, exams and anything uni related. 2 years later, I can't believe this word is popping up again.

I should start prepping for my upcoming exams. My worst fear came true, Larder Production may be wee big tougher that I've expected it to be. Without a recipe to guide us, we'll all just have to rely on our own brain, in my case, my 'grass' brain. Did a sample for Pastry 1, which turned out not too bad. Edible and presentable. Pass-able I guess.

But does the exam result really matter now?

Nervous.

The practical exams for the culinary skills course I've been taking for the last 3 months is happening next week. Exam is nothing new but I'm getting a little nervous because I've never done any exams like the ones I'll be sitting standing for. Just 2 papers this semester - Pastry 1 and Larder Production. I've already got my topic for Pastry so I'm cool. Just need to do a little practice, bake abit and present it like a master chef's work and I'm good. I'm worried about Larder Production because its a 1 hour exam, with 1 apparently strict chef as judge. And I haven't got any clue what topic I'll be getting.

I've never fail any final exam papers in my life so please don't let me fail at what I do best.

Anyone wanna try my sample product?

Change!

Everyone is talking about the same topic - Barack Obama is officially America's first black president. It was a very long election campaign and I didn't bother to follow until the very last couple of weeks. And just within the weeks, I've concluded that if I was an American, I would vote for him. For change.

With him being elected it proves that regardless of race, as long as the person is capable he/she can lead a nation.

In with Obama, out with Bush! Wooohooo!

Eye Candy.

Ok. I so need a new laptop. It is so frustrating because my current Mac (an ancient version 10.3.9!) is running at an extreme crawl. Opening an extra window will just burden its operation and slow everything down. The colourful wheel of death appears so frequently, I've already consider it a permanent fixture.


I wanted to get the Macbook Pro so badly, I saved a big chunk of my pay for almost 1 year. That was before the new version came out. Just this month, Apple released new versions for Macbook and Macbook Pro. The price tag increased by a couple of hundreds and the design for both the new machines are more similar. Let's not discuss/compare the specs.

Anyway, I've prepared Rm7000 for Macbook Pro. Now I might just get the Macbook. Excess of RM2000 in the pocket for me to splurge on other things such as beautification accessories.

Oh wait. My click-wheel iPod is gradually dying on me. Maybe I can get iPod Touch with the excess moolah. Hmmmmmm.... decisions decisions.

How much?!

Cannot be a little bit more expensive, ah?

At RM90, this has gotta be one of the most expensive imported CD I've ever purchased. Oh what the heck. It's Miriam Yeung's latest. You'll never ever catch me downloading or buying pirated version of her albums. All 24 albums I owned are original - just a little support for her music ;)

So, will this finally dethrone Younha' Someday from my car's CD player? I'll let you know...
