The Story of A Chef...

And the last time I woke up was at 6 p.m. yesterday. And haven't slept since. Was preparing for the cooking competition for T's Day celebration.
And I went to school, not feeling well from the fever and the groggy-ness of lack of sleep. And there, as a male teacher, have to move tables, speakers, podiums, and stuff. And looking how the teachers in charge of documentation took pictures using their mobile phones, I volunteered my self and brandish my old buddy. And for about 7 hours I was snapping away, 'cept during I was readying the foods for the competition.
The menu was:

Garden Salad - Lettuce with capsicums (3 colours), tomatoes, onions, chicken nuggets, carrots and avocados (all either chopped or diced), served with a mix of mayonnaise and fresh orange juice, drizzled with lemon juice.

Brunch Sandwich - Buns, chicken patties, sunny side up egg, grilled tomatoes, shredded lettuce and carrots, and sour cream (I guess, made from yogurt and lemon juice).

Penne Shrimp Alfredo - Penne pasta with Alfredo, and garlic butter prawns.

Banana Berry Shake - Strawberries and bananas sliced, mixed with vanilla yogurt, orange juice and pineapple juice.



The verdict, I was placed last. Lotsa teachers commented that I should get first as the other teams did not go with the theme 'Western Food'. Where can you find pasta served with fish crackers? Fusion restaurant maybe?
And yeah, some commented our booth was not appealing enough? Appealing like wearing Saree-like costumes? How does Saree goes into the theme?
Or just because some of them cut out the inside of a melon and insert some cubed pineapples and nata de coco, they get higher points? Erm, hello, the theme is Western Food, not Tropical delicacies or Tropical desserts....

I am down tbh coz of that. But as usual, the kids cheer me up!
Teacher Nasrul becames Chef Nasrul as they said. ^_^

And serious thanks to Muslimatun, Miftahul, Athirah Liyana, Elviera, Rishmitaa, Farah, Aimiey, Aiman Safwan, Ilmi and several others. U made my day! ^_^

p/s: I went to the hospital today to check up on my condition. First, I'm a H1N1 suspect as I have the symptoms, then they changed it to a Dengue suspect. And from the blood test, the doc said that my blood platelets are quite low but near the borderline, so I might have dengue... BUT, since my water percentage in my blood is low too (which is ridiculous as I've been eating water and pissing lots!! So, they made an appointment for me tomorrow morning to again check my blood. Ah, the waiting~ Just loving it!

Dreams

Dreams bring you grins, laughs, hope, despair, tears, fear, and all emotions you could imagine.

But we know they are just dreams.

And its been a while since I dream of something during my slumber.

And last night was full of emotions.

Yet, I wonder when I'll be a magical dreamer again.

As it's hard for me to dream now.

And it's starting...

Today, as I was on my weekly grocery shopping at Giant Leisure Mall, I got a call...

The call was to inform me that I need to go to Kelantan from the 1st till the 7th of June, to escort Johor's MSSM Volleyball teams.

And from the 22nd till the 30th of May, I'll be going for the training camp for the team.

It's like what I've been waiting for, one of my tickets to the higher level.

The catch is that there's exam on the 22nd and there's Cross Country on the 28th (I'm needed for my pictorial skill) and my convocation is on the 30th........... and it's when I get to meet my brothers...

Looks like I need to talk with my GB and hopefully she could do something that will help me in any way. I mean, items analysis, post mortem and stuff will be needed to attend to and how could I do that if I'm away. And plus, there's a rumor that my school will call the teachers to start working on the 8th until the 12th of June...

There goes my holiday~ The much awaited holiday....................................








'Saya yang menurut perintah' anyone?

p/s: I think, if I'd refuse, it'll b'coz of wanting to have a great time with my brothers.... I might be using the school's work as an excuse, but when is the chance that we cud meet again? Then again, If I don't go for the MSSM, I might lose a chance, big chance!!!

Damn.

And it is a new week....

And I hate Mondays!
It's when I'm alone, again.
It's when I realize that there are tonnes work to be done.

But I love Mondays too!
As I could see the kids today!
Even though I'll be thrown into the fray.

And I just realized that
I had a performance to get
ready for Teacher's Day.

I dont know, maybe
I'd read them a poem you see.
But see if I can write
anything without much a fight.

Work work

Alrite mien, here's the tag u requested!

This is more fun if you haven’t cleaned up your workspace in AGES. XD

1. IMMEDIATELY take a picture of your workspace. DO NOT ADJUST OR MOVE ANYTHING. Where’s the fun in that? Lol.
2. Find at least 5 things on your table that you think needs some explaining. (Like an object that isn’t supposed to be there).
3. Explain those items.
4. Tag your friends, or whoever that you feel has nothing better to do. Lol. Especially tag those who haven’t updated their blog in ages. Bagi inisiatif la konon ni. XD.

3. Explain those items.




okay, Item 1 is a bunch of nice printed erasers that I confiscated from the kids... wrapped in an old news paper...

Item 2 is some random people's bread and they left it on my table. Too bad for that person as I ate it... Dun want a bread go to waste rite?

Item 3 and 4 are flags.... Teachers just chuck all the flags they have on my table... maybe they want to instill the patriotism in me... by putting all the flags under table... yeah...

Item 5, if u look carefully, its a tip of a 2 liters bottle... apparently one of my desk mate is involved with MLM and he sells bio water... and yes, lotsa empty bottles and he just hides them under the drawers. And yeah, I share my desk with two other teachers...

4. Tag your friends, or whoever that you feel has nothing better to do. Lol. Especially tag those who haven’t updated their blog in ages. Bagi inisiatif la konon ni. XD.
