"Non-cooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet"

First time carving. Today I learn how to carve tomato to roses and cucumber to leafs. I suck actually but still feel so good that today I spend whole day practicing not lecturing.

"Remember that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance take it, if it changes your life, then let it. No one said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it!"

Aha! First day school at Dusit Thani Culinary school! See? I have my very own cooking section hahaha... They provided all the materials each set for each student...very professional eh? I was so excited!

Then...shoot! I cut myself since the beginning. Maybe to excited about all chef equipment and that one is "Chef knife" it is Victorinox Brand, mate! come on! Who's not gonna be excited! However, the wound is not deep so it easily to heal (way far from my heart).

On first day, there's nothing much. Mostly all lectures make me sleepy but quite useful for the future if I want to have my own restaurant.

It's quite tough for me though coz from now on I'm not gonna have a day off...no more! Every Sat & Sun will be my internship program and cooking class. I have no life...but I do have my future waiting for me. (Cannot keep my smile when I think about my future as a professional chef. Maybe I watch Iron Chef and Hell's Kitchen too much...I'm sooo IN ieieie)

"Everybody dies, Not everybody lives, Live Life!"

Second time for internship, this time is better coz I got new shoes "Crocs" which is more comfortable and not slip a bit. (worth every penny!) It helps me move twice faster than last week. Anyway, it doesn't help me be a better cook (I still suck). I'm incharge in Thai Buffet section while my GF incharge Thai a la carte' section. We work seperately from each other. However, in the afternoon I move to help her at her section coz it seems to be busier than mine.

This week we had a chance to stand at buffet counter. I was incharged at Thai Salad booth. I have to make Thai salad and Somtum which already prepared the whole ingredients. My job is put them in the bowl and mixed with the right proportion (Very Easy!) :P

Forgot to tell, this week we decided to change the working period from 2 - 10 pm to 8 am - 6 pm. I feel so much better. It still tired but much less than last week. However, after work we still went to foot massage anyway. Gosh! and I love every minute of it...can't wait till next week!

"Life is too short to wake up in the mornings with regrets!"

My first day for internship program @Radisson Hotel Bangkok. Also the first time wearing chef coat...How cool is this? I can't imagine after 8 years spending all my time stydying Bachelor & Master Degree in Marketing & Advertising, finally turned out that "I want to be a professional chef".

Btw, that day make me realized that "It is not easy to be a chef". I was so tired, my legs and my back were killing me. I work straight since 2 pm to 10 pm. I cannot sit at all!!! but this bump doesn't scared me a bit. In contrary, the more I get involve with this job the more I really want to be a real chef oneday.
