and the journey is coming to an end...

yup it's all ending soon..with a beginning, there must be an ending. things end so that you will miss it and know how much you love it.

it has been a wonderful experience that i will never forget unless i have had dementia or something close enough.

had exam today. the most stressful and exhausting one i would say. worst than 'O's, 'A's, etc.. 6 whole hours! geez..and since i am always the slowest in class, i managed to finish just on time while others have time to rest and relax before plating. i know, i need to reflect. like i said before or did i not say it, baking isn't my talent but i am working on it.

every segment didnt go well for me. i should be glad if i am able to pass the exam. Brioche didnt prove as well as it did during practices, Sable...doesnt look like its normal self, Choc truffle was not shiny because i 'cleverly' used my fingers instead of brush -.-, Sugar display was not presented complete as the aero spray ran out (i sprayed on the paper without knowing it ran out) hence my sugar didnt bubble, Plated dessert was almost there except my tangerine coulis turned into jam due to cooling in the fridge (which i didnt have time to rewarm) and i poured cointreau in to my anglaise without measuring...oh well what is done is done...all i can do is wait for the result which wouldnt be too high of an expectation or i should say hope would it? this is the 2nd academic place where i have never managed to score at anything. kinda feels similar to JC days where failing had always been the norm for me. however, not regretful. the many friends, the exposure, the independence, everything....

i shall show you some pictures of my portfolio where my exam pieces were supposed to look like them




ok my actual exam pieces were like 10 times ok trillion times worst than those above..considering those above arent that perfect either...

ohh and guess what i have got for myself...i cant express how much i love amazon.uk...it's seriously amazing..packaging is awesome, service is awesome, delivery is awesome, amazon.uk is just AWESOME!!!

it's 28.91pounds!!! it was 45pounds!!! see the diff?!!! gosh...if only SG has such wonderful deals and variety of things...

i will soooo miss London.. but at the same time i miss SG soooo much... it's a love hate relationship..not hate to that extend but...oh well you know what i mean.. i will be back London ;)
