Back from the dead

Hey peepz...I hope there's actually still "peepz" reading my blog...though there hasn't been much to read lately. I guess I've just been really lazy for the past month. But I'm back again...so..what have I been up to for the past month??? Hmm...lemme see...the last time I wrote my blog was about my trial at Pier. Since then, I......

busted my mind thinking whether to take the job at Pier's. attended college as usual, cookin' away with my classmates. did my final practical exam and passed with not so flying colors. received a pasta machine, movie voucher and a birthday card from Zalfa and almost burst into tears. celebrated my b'day with my mates at a teppanyaki place, gelato and karaoke afterwards. received a surprise birthday cake from everyone who came that day. practised my guitar playing and attended lessons. finally decided to give up on the job at Pier's. sent out CVs to random restaurants in sydney. not getting replies from random restaurants in sydney. getting rejected from random restaurants in sydney. made my very first homemade pizza and lasagna from scratch and served it to friends.farewelled my dearest friend/mother/classmate aka Zalfa. took a trip to Hunter Valley with a few friends and planned to get wasted the whole time. got sick throughout the whole trip at Hunter's, so the getting wasted part didn't really happen. practised my guitar again. whinged about getting back to college in the stupid ugly uniform. collected my stupid ugly uniform from the shops. out shopping for my graduation and got myself a black dress. practised my guitar even more. sent out even more CVs to random restaurants. got ignored by even more random restaurants. went back to college on a monday and discovered that it was like high school all over again, except that I might've stumbled upon a Korean high school coz 80% of them are Koreans, so help me God. kept complaining about the dry-ness of the academic content this term. answered every question of the lecturers' because the others wouldn't. stepped on stage, shook the person's hand, received my certificate and GRADUATED from my culinary course. took pictures with my dear classmates and random ppl whom I don't know. took pictures with my favorite chef of all time, Chef Ross. went to star city for the after grad party. saw a pretty good acoustic band at Star City. played a few hands at Star city. won 200 bucks from Star City. attended more boring and repetitive classes. made some friends, and maybe a few enemies. complained more about the classes. wondered how the hell am I gonna last for another 5 months in college. received a call from a random dude who didn't even care to identify himself over the phone but turned out to be a potential employer whom I might be working for in a couple of weeks' time. attended a trial at a pretty crap restaurant and started regretting about giving up on Pier's. thought of moving away from Sydney for my industry placement, possibly Melbourne or Brisbane.


Basically, the gist and highlights of my story for the past month is on there. Anything that happened in between those events are either unmentionable or simply forgotten. So..tomorrow's the start of my 2nd week at my management course. GOSHH....I could just die mentioning about it. I don't mean to be a snob...but seriously, I've paid a huge sum of money for absolutely NOTHING. I've basically learned everything that the course has got to offer back in Uni....and it's just gonna be deja vu to me. If I wanted a deja vu, I could just stand right in front of a speeding motorcycle and let it skid across me like it happened when I was 10.

Anyways, I gotta go now. I'll catch you guys later. Cheers!!
