Day 79 : The Final Lap

2008-12-18T23:22:00.002+08:00

.:The final Lap:.

After 79 days, we’ve finally finished our training in ClubMed.

Being a server, you have to have –

1. Patience
2. Average Product Knowledge
3. Problem solving skills
4. Good communication skills
5. Strong arms and fingers
6. Stable shoulder
7. Politeness
8. Good balancing skills

Being a bartender, you have to have –

1. 24/7 Patience
2. Full product knowledge
3. A quick thinking mind
4. Good problem solving skills
5. Good communication skill
6. Endurance
7. Team spirit
8. Superman’s strength
9. Sense of Humour
10. A very very wide smile

Being a Chef, you have to be/have -

1. 24/7 Patience
2. Professionally trained in giving excuses
3. 100% product knowledge
4. 110% independent
5. 120% bravery
6. 130% Humour
7. 140% respect for others
8. 150% creativity
9. 160% confidence
10. 170% endurance
11. 180% heat proof body
12. 190% team work
13. 200% stomach

Note – no.7 and no.12 doesn’t exist in ClubMed but everyone has no.13.

From horrible accommodation and being served inedible ‘food’, to being threatened and insulted, we’ve faced it all, over and over again.

Starting from the bottom isint always easy, and so is earning respect from others. No pain no gain, ritey?

Patience was key to everything. For example, waiting for cookies,brownies to be baked, takes time, waiting for choco mousse to harden, takes time.. cooking all the food, takes time, understanding others, takes time.. waiting for an empty toilet, takes time.. waiting for this very last day of work.. takes A LOT of time.

We have all the time in the world, just that we don’t use it wisely. (sounds funny coming from me) 24 hours a day. 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of complaining of too much work and not enough sleep. What have you done today that you think wasn’t time wasting?

Voices of chefs and supervisors saying ‘ Eh hello, while doing this, you can do that too.. and that.. and that’ can be heard every time. All in the name of saving time.

T – Time
I – Is
M – Moving
E – Everytime

.:Conclusion:.

I’ve learnt a lot, im proud to survive this long in this condition and I thank God for everything for this past 79 days. Its time to make funky drinks, chocolicious desserts and
hot hot hot dishes.

This blog has served its purpose for this 3 months and I will no longer update it. Haha thanks to Alric, Jac and Nic for all your support and to all my family and friends back home. =) We’ve made it!

Last post on Day 80.

Thank You God!

2008-12-06T00:08:00.003+08:00

I call, You hear me
I’ve lost it all
And it’s more than I can bear
I feel so empty

You’re strong
I’m weary
I’m holdin’ on
But I feel like givin’ in
But still You’re with me

pre-chorus

And even though I’m walkin’ through
The valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Whose love will comfort me
And when all hope is gone
And I’ve been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will
Ever need
And He will carry me

I know I’m broken
But You alone
Can mend this heart of mine
You’re always with me

chorus

And even though I feel so lonely
Like I’ve never been before
You never said it would be easy

But You said you’d see me through
The storm

- Mark Schultz

Day 60 : OoLaLa

2008-11-29T23:50:00.006+08:00

Fish Salad

eaten raw.

Preparation Time : 10 mins
Marinating Time : 2 hours
Serves : Depends on how much you eat
Difficulty : Kacang putih
Rating : 6.98/10

Ingredients

a. 1 Cubed Tomato
b. some shredded coconut
c. Half a lettuce, rough chop.
d. Olive oil
e. 1 Shredded carrot
f. 1 shredded cucumber
g. coconut milk 100ml
h. optional - fried uncooked pasta(long ones), for garnish.
i. Salt, pepper and lots of dried chopped Basil.

For the fish

a. 1 kg fresh Dory fish ( or any amount you like)

b. Cut into cubes.
c. Marinate in Coconut water, little bit of santan, and lemon juice.
Reminder - coconut milk can go bad, and so can the fresh Dory ( to be eaten raw ).. so do marinate about 2 hours in the fridge. Lemon juice helps to counter the fishy taste and kills any 'bacteria'.

Whats Next?

In a big bowl, throw( or nicely put in) the shredded carrot, timun, tomato cubes, chopped lettuce and Dory fish into a big bowl. Add a few dashes of olive oil, salt, pepper and basil.
Adding more Basil will intensify flavour of the fish and the salad.. so throw in a whole bucket of it..im kidding, just make sure the salad and fish is covered with Basil.

Mix everything together like making rojak( dont so gila until nothing left in the bowl ). Do portioning on a plate, in my case was a triangular plate. Add as much santan by the side of the salad and add more basil.Add some shredded coconut flesh on top of the salad and lastly Cucuk a fried spaghetti into the salad as garnish.

End Result

Day 55 : Monkeypox round 2

2008-11-24T15:54:00.003+08:00

This time, Nic has successfully contracted chickenpox from Jac
and is back home.. speedy recover Nic!
now u and jac can have a competition to see who has more hehe.

jeremiah 33.3!

Four chinese junior chefs..

I'm in the Cold Buffet department whereby we prepare and serve raw dishes, such as.. shashimi, prawns, vege, fruits and etc. Other than that we prepare dishes like Potato Garlic salad, Eggplant Caviar, Baked Butterfish satay, light sushi and bla bla bla.

The smell of the chiller in the cold buffet is exactly the same as the garbarge storage..so its hard not to imagine that what we're preparing is garbage.. sadly, most of the food we prepare end up there anyway.

Kitchen life is way way way less stressful than life at bar, but looking at the standard of this kitchen.. I'd rather go back to bar.

Day 54 : I'm Back.

2008-11-23T15:25:00.005+08:00

Hellooooo!! Long time no see haha.. Jac and I finished our 1 month sentence at bar while Nic is going to the bar. Alric just started his 1 month prison term with us at the Kitchen. ahaha 'hurray'

before i continue..

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad

Day 37 : Monkeypox

2008-11-04T13:10:00.003+08:00

Jac is downed with Chickenpox, so hes going back tomorrow, for two weeks?.. man down man down!
haha, Nic hasnt yet had chickenpox..so all the best to you Nic =)

Btw, you see Nic with the bandage on his right hand? The story goes like this...

Adrian, Nic and I was walking out from clubmed and we had to go thru a 'forest'... somehow.. there was an adult monkey lepaking nearby. And so we thought it should be ok to pass by and so we did with stones in our hands for 'protection' (yeah right).

All of a sudden Adrian started running and so did Nic and I, all we could hear was lots 0f loud growling at the back but did not realised that there was a bunch of monkeys chasing after us!!! After I ran a for a few seconds.. i turn backed and saw Nic on the ground in pain.. not because of monkeys but because of his 'buy and throw away' sandals which didnt do its job when humans needed it most, caused him to trip. So yeah,the lesson is think twice before passing by monkeys and when buying footwear.

And I will worship You here

Your presence in me
Jesus light the way
By the power of Your word
I am restored
I am redeemed
By Your Spirit I am free

Freely You gave it all for us
Surrendered Your life upon that cross

Day 20 : Happy Birthday!

2008-10-18T18:01:00.004+08:00

Papa, Mama, Jie and Me

A Mother has so many things to do,
From washing, ironing, cleaning to tying a shoe.
She scrubs, she mends, she cooks and sews,
She bathes the children and washes their clothes.
When they forget to wash their faces clean,
And their clothes are the muddiest you've ever seen,
Who repairs the clothes and scrubs them like new?
Of course, that is what a Mother will do.

Who becomes the doctor or the nurse when they are ill,
Applying a bandage or giving them a pill?
Who becomes a teacher when a child has homework?
She must never her duty shirk.
Who becomes a detective to find a toy or a book?
For missing things she must look and look?
Who becomes a listener to every heartache,
To every accomplishment that a child makes?
Who scolds their children when they are naughty,
Or remind them of God when they are to haughty?
Who tends her family with love and patience, too?
Of course that is what a Mother will do.
- Unknown

Happy Birthday mama!! =)

Don't miss me too much haha

From, Your Monkey.

Hai Peng is something like Old Town Kopitiam and its quite famous here. The Hai Peng Kopi, i tell you, super duper extra strong wan..and last longer than Energizer batteries.

The journey begins with an empty raging stomach....

The target.

The location is in Kemaman, but duno why got Terengganu signboard. Im confused. Nvm, food more important.

The menu! haha, we just couldnt wait to taste real food for the first time in days.

The crowd on a Sunday morning.

Roti Bakar with kaya. Bread never tasted so good!

Nasi Dagang, aiyo nice la..i feel so hungry now blogging bout this.

Half way through, we realized that we've got full signal!!!! So multi tasking la, phone in one hand, drink in another hand, roti and rice in the mouth,and the eye looking at what to eat next.

So happy la got real food!! Like a kid getting Happy Meal.

We ordered another 8 half boiled eggs haha. Too hungry seriously! Sorry didnt take pics of the Kopi, later i going again then can take.

The journey ended with a full and happy stomach...which soon became hungry again when we entered the car.

______________________________________________________________

Shes leaving for ClubMed Phuket later, so sad man.. shes the only person in the whole restaurant who smiles everytime she looks at someone, everytime!!!! We need more smiling supervisors la, most of them look like want to berak but failed. SIGH! hahahahaha, Thanks ms. EVA!!!!

After work! haha

Group farewell, sorry the redeye thinggy wasnt on. =)

Day 2 : Club Maid

2008-09-30T14:44:00.003+08:00

Haha heLLo everyOne!! apa khabar semua.. harap khabar suma baik! =)

I've arrived at club med a few days ago, and this is my second day of work, or should i say slavery.
Before I tell you bout what im doing, lemme tell you bout the living condition here.

Living condition.
1. The room is 10x15 feet, all made out of wood. Its like a big wooden apartment but only has two floors. There are 2 person in a room, however, since all of us want to stick together, we have 4 person in a room. so 10x15 feet room with 4 people and loads of bags = not very eco friendly. But nvm la, the more the merrier and smellier.

2. Theres an air-con in our room. However theres no remote control for it, and to on it.. we hav to open it and does not require any power supply. This new technology is called 'Window'.

3.The food here is awesome. We eat rice, long beans,vege,dates,fish,chicken,soup,rice,longbeans,vege,dates,fish,chicken,soup,rice,vege,dates,
fish,chicken,soup,rice,longbeans,vege,fish,chicken,soup,rice,vege,dates,fish,chicken and sambal everyday for the next 3 months. Lots of variety ritey!? haha pray for us.

4.The toilets...im not sure what is the door for when theres no lock for it. And even there is a lock for it, the door will be full of holes. But not to worry, the ppl over here has cellotaped the holes.. with transparent cellotape, quite smart eh? -_-'' aduh

5. There are more monkeys than cats here. Im sharing a room with 3 monkeys too.

6. The ppl over here are friendly, mostly locals and Indons..so i speak BM everyday haha

7. Mosquitos are the size of 5 sen coins..so its easier to see and whack it, but bigger marks if bitten hahahahha looks like i've got a new hobby.

8. The signal here is horrible. Its a luxury to even get 1 bar of signal.

9. We're trying our best to live here.

Working conditions

1. Club Med shud change their name to Club Maid. The workers work endlessly, carry plates and glasses here and there and everywhere, to make the guests happy.

2. Im working in the restaurant for 3 weeks, and the kitchen only after that. We carry around 50+ plates and bowls and cups on tray on our shoulders. My right shoulder is going to be bigger than my left soon. =)

3. work 8 hours a day with weird shifts, 7 days a week.

4. We're not allowed to eat anything from the buffet lines. However, some 'workers' curi makan. Puasa summore boleh makan, aduh. Cant blame them tho, this job requires loads of energy.

5. we have 2 shirts each. we're suppose to wear one for 3 days.. then oni wash. So we're trying to keep it clean for 9 services.

6. I shall stop now.

Haha, i will upload the pictures as soon as they give me a day off. I gtg wash my clothes and take a nap, nite shift starts in a few hours. Cya all later! =) God bless.

Back to being blogless? =(

2008-09-27T04:43:00.002+08:00

Due to safety reasons, i might not want to bring my laptop.. aduh. See how it goes! I'm leaving at 8am haha, its now 4.57am, this maybe the last post, but i hope not!

Just wanna say thanks to :
My Family for being so supportive and semangat

Jap, for pinjaming his lappy bag
Vee, for being so busy body want to say bye (hahhaha appreciate it!) =)

Haha my partner in crime for today was none other than Aly Lau! After two years of absence from the last Bazaar raid, we're back in force... only for today x) The journey begins.

.Ordering 2 kebabs.

Im not sure is that the Ultraman pose or

Items purchased :
1 asam drink
1 sugar cane drink
3 chicken kebab
1 daging kebab
15 pc of kerepok lekor
36 sticks of satay
5 putu piring
Hand and thumb not included

In order to be healthy while eating not so healthy food, we decided to do some cardio exercise the fun way.

Introducing the Ablegohandfacesizer!

Both male and female can do this exersice!!

Sadly, after only a few swings, we were tired...

SO we did this! She was really hungry. Haha I forgot the
straw for the drink so we had nothing to drink =(

WARNING - Doing this exercise without proper guidance may have harmful side effects such as :

Weird looking facial expressions

Unbalanced alignment of the face

However, if you do it Right.. you may be rewarded with a fit figure like this :

Haha! =)

Mal : Do you want this? *holding up the putu piring*

Aly : Nah its okey, you go back and drink it.
.

Mal : Huh? *i tot i heard wrongly*..err you sure you dont want? *still holding up the putu piring*

Aly : Sure sure. When you go back, add some ice.. cuz melted adi.. so now its diluted.

Mal : *Im thinking ' why need to add ice? how can putu piring melt? Putu piring can be diluted meh?!'*
Mal : Eh.. err..err.. i talking bout the putu piring you know...

Aly : Arh??? i tot you talking bout the asam drink! nOOnooOOOOoooOo!!! *malu malu*

Hahahahaha.. classic ammapek conversation lah!!

Thank you God for the cold weather, the nice food and a great friend.
