my perserverance has paid off!!! this morning we continued to make more chocolate and i managed to get my tempering right! man..u shd see the choclate, glossy, dark and smooth. really the best choc in the world. u can taste the real choclate when it's in ur mouth. the ganache filling is addictive.
i'm happy. really HAPPY!!! took me an hr plus this morning to temper choc properly. but enver mind, it was successful. my fren used his digital cam to snap a pic of me with my choc. he'll send it to me via email. i hope i can fwd it to u all. i seem to have pblms sending pics as attachments. dunno why.
i've been in sydney for one whole month! it's amazing how fast time flies. i enver realized that. i recalled one month back, when i was a thte airport n i cried.....
i cried partly becoz i will miss everyone in singapore but i cried mainly becoz i was scared. i leaped off to an unpreditcable career path compared to wat an average grad wld do. i chose not to climb up the corporate ladder, not to settle down and eventually buy flat, buy car, etc. instead i chose to follow my heart. but then, this comes with a price. fear is sthg which will always stay with me. however, fear shd not be considered bad. it didn't hinder me in pursuing my dream. i juz thought that it's ok to be afraid. but after that, i shd be fine. yes, i am indeed fine now altho i still have got many unanswered qns in my head. well, dun think so much. juz take thigns a step at a time.
tmrw no lesson. might go down to rhodes with my frens. one of them, baobao, is going to the resturant owned by neil perry. she's gonna work there for a mth. but i'll be up by 7.20am to go for my morning swim. it's gonna b cold. i'm referring to the water in the pool. on fri, i'll iron all my clothes. never knew i had so much clothes to iron!!! and i've to wash my tool box. on sat, my frens and i might go down to oxford street to watch the gay parade. something i wldn't wanna give it a miss.
another busy weekend. take care!
