im soo happy to be back in school!

i missed the people there soo much!! not to mention, a certain person as well!! ^___^ im so happy that i get to see my crush again! and its funny coz i always have these dialogues planned out in my mind but when im with her already, it gets jumbled up and i repeat myself! so uncool...anyways, it also sucks that i've forgotten almost everything about our lectures in school before....so i must study and remember everything again!! and i better do it quick since finals are coming around soon!! my tentative graduation is early october already! i cant believe it! im graduating soon and here i thought that this one year and 2 months course would take a while but it just flew by so quickly!

since im back in school...i have a project and a report to do. my project is about jams...i have to make a jam and vacuum-seal it in a jar. i'll be making apple-banana jam. thanks to the suggestion from my crush!! *squeeeeel* ^_^ and maybe i'll add cinnamon to it or vanilla which ever satisfies my taste buds! then i also need to do a report on cranberries and currants. we're on the topic of fruits, nuts and berries already. its interesting and fun to learn about these things.

anyways, since i was sooo busy before during my apprenticeship....remember i was advertising myself as a cook for hire? well im back for business since ive got free time and no money! ahahahahaha! just call or sms me to talk about details on what you'd like for me to prepare! hire me! i cook for money!! ahahahahaha! (hmm...sounds catchy!) ^__~

well...as i await for "clients"...i'll be going now and do my reports first then maybe i can start my jams tomorrow...till next time guys! take care! au revior! *mwah*

ive returned from reality

being in Mandarin gave me so much more good things than what i can actually complain about!! it was tough work all through out my 2-months apprenticeship but i dont regret a single thing. i learned so many new things, made some mistakes, caused some accidents and met new friends along the way! ^__~ my chosen field of career is a path that's not to be taken lightly. its not always the glitz, glamour and success that people always see in tv (lifestyle channel). because before all that, tremendous hard work and perseverance came first which not alot of people take into consideration. from the stories i heard and learned from my superiors in Mandarin, i respect them more than ever and thank them for the guidance they have given me! for the days of tears and pain that ive yet to experience, i look forward for that day when i will grow and become stronger than before! my 2-months apprenticeship is now done and over....time to go back to my school books and graduate soon!! but i will never forget my first tastes of reality in the working world!!!
