Day 79 : The Final Lap

.: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!
