a new life

it's confession time. i am tired. very very tired. partly becoz it's that time of the mth but also becoz of my hectic schedule. i dunno how i can manage this kinda life. i work hard, n play hard. yes, i still play tennis, swim, jog n even cycle. god...when can i stop? but i am not willing to give up my exercise regime. i gain alot of satisfaction n mental strength from them. frankly spkg, i'm physically drained out since i came back from sydney. i'm only relying on my mental strength now.

i talked to one of the chefs at raffles last night while waiting to "fire" the dessert for a function. he had won competitions n he envouraged me to participate. i'll miss this yr's n gotta wait for two more yrs. he advised me to take a day off on the competition day n go n watch the chefs in action, take pics n then study those winning works. but my junior sous chef said that it's very tough for me to join competition coz i'm doing functions. my working hrs are damn irregular n we can only practise after work. it's true. it's very taxing unless i'm transferred to take care of the outlets. those are 8-hr shifts. but it's very boring after a while. everyday u make the same things. my god... i like functions coz i get to see new things lotsa times.

i'm gonna make an opera cake this week. made the jeconde which is the sponge layer. for the first time my family willg et to sample it.
