Dream a little dream dream

time waits for no one... it's been a long time since i made an actualy post other then the pictures which pops up once in a while. Well i'm going to Taipei in october for a short break asfter this hectic semester. Come to think of it, this trip will be the second in this year! Just thinking of taipei makes me excited... all the shopping, eating, playing and we're gonna visit a hot springs... dip dip~

Last friday the 18th of August 2006, we had our culinary science project execution. to give a brief idea on what it is actually about, well... the 24 of us are supposed to run the whole show of operating the service kitchen for restaurant in the square (T.A.S training restaurant). The team of us had to come out with the marketing plan, recipe costing, marketing list and the best of all our recipes.

Dessert Apple Tarte Tatin

I had the honours of doing the dessert with four other team members. It was really an experience that i will never forget, the planning and the trial cookings that we had in the kitchen. On Friday everything was in perfect harmony with us serving 46 diners instead of the 40 that we were told to prepared for. The best part for me was to know that the dessert recieved the most compliments although it was a little too sweet for some AND Ms. Wilson's friend, a french lady said it was excellent. *applauses*

Needless to say, our team performed best along with the group who operated Petit Square (T.A.S cafe) out of all the days!

School's been tough for the past weeks but with all the projects and classes over, it's time for the study week. Shocking to know that many groups in my class and others are having conflicts, gosh i wonder how are they gonna work together next semester. I've been rather lazy too, skipping lectures and apparently used up my leaves for both accounting and marketing tutorials... hahahahaha.

Over the past two months, i managed to finish five animes... akazukin cha cha, love hina, dn angel, fruit basket, clamp school detectives and ouran high school host club which is still an on going one.
