The lecturers made everything seem so easy. How? For example Plant & Premises... I think my lecturer really like to say: "So basically you guys just need to know... bla bla bla..." Basically... x__x basic one I also don't know lerh, how?
Another example... kitchen class....
Chef: Just do like this this this this this (teaching us some new techniques)...
A: Wah, like very easy hooorrrh?
B: Yea loh yea loh, faster, lai, we start doing..
*Few minutes later*
A: How come so weird one, we got use wrong method ah?
B: No... It's correct, just now chef also do like this one mah....
A: Then how come the chef do seem so easy one? - -|||
B: That's why you're the student and she's the chef.... Otherwise can call you chef already...
Oh well, there's definitely a start/ first time for everything. Sometimes, things may seem easy, but never underestimate it ;) Still, it's fun. LOL.
Enjoying this course to the max, hence I need to go and study for my Plant and Premises assessment tomorrow ;P
Ciao!

Term 3 :D
This is the third week since I started my Term 3, so far so good :D
Overall, everything is still okay for now. BTW, I got back my Term 2 results recently, a slight improvement can be seen, but still need to work harder for Term 3 :D Aiming for higher marks! :D
Other than the three usual subjects (Restaurant Operations, Kitchen Operations and Rooms Division) they have new subjects this term. This term we will be learning how to use the Opera system... Not the singing one :P It's something like a Property Management System (I think) to handle guest's registration, check-ins and check-outs in a hotel... Tomorrow will be the first class! :D Mr Zikri is teaching, looking forward for tomorrow's class! Teehee!
Other than that, we also have...
Business Mathematics: this term is mainly about Statistics. Ms Dhila is teaching us again! So happy to see her again! :DD
Bahasa Kebangsaan: Some might need to take this subject but I got exempted! Ms. Sophie is teaching... Awwww! Miss her so much! :')
Intensive English: For Term 1 and 2 my group (former group 3 members, which is the current group 5 & 6 members) were exempted from taking Intensive English, but only in Term 1 & 2, so since I'm already in term 3 so I need to take. Ms Pam is the lecturer, she shares a lot of interesting facts with us! :D
Plant and Premises: 1st chapter is about the refrigeration system :/ How come this reminds me of Physics ah? ANYWAY... The lecturer, Mr. Lim is cute. LOL. He asked us for 'permission' to go out to drink water. Haha. XD
Purchasing and Cost Control: I understand what the lecturer said, I just need to do revision again! >< Maybe I'm quite blur since this is a new subject. (Before the class I thought that this subject is something like accounting. >_>|||) The lecturer Mr. Gopi is funny, he makes the class very interesting. XD He used purchasing carrots as an example, and in the notes given, they wrote there that person bought few hundred kg of carrots per week... Then after that he added... We are not opening a rabbit hotel, so don't order too much carrots... XD
Overall, everything is still okay for now. BTW, I got back my Term 2 results recently, a slight improvement can be seen, but still need to work harder for Term 3 :D Aiming for higher marks! :D
That's all for now!
BYE!

Brand New Start
Well, this is the sixth month since I started my Diploma course at Taylor's Lakeside University. How was it? My answer will always be the same.. Stressful yet enjoyable :)...
Term 1 was fine, but in Term 2, the timetable is really hectic and verrrrry different from Term 1... Classes are usually from 8 a.m. ~ 6 p.m. If you are talking about practical classes like kitchen and restaurant classes, they are usually from 8 a.m. ~ 2 p.m. You are asking, are we serving breakfast? No :) We are serving lunch at 12 noon. We need to do mise-en-place (pre-preparation) to set up the restaurant, worst still, there are chances of us ending the class after 3 p.m. because sometimes the guests just feel too comfortable in the restaurant and do not feel like living :P So this actually slows down our restaurant closing. Imagine you need to be in heels for that six or seven hours, and you are not allowed to be seated until your guests leave, painful huh? But oh well, I still enjoy restaurant classes :) Will be starting my internship soon anyway, need to train myself to stand more :D As for kitchen classes, well, like I said, it is from 8 a.m. ~ 2 p.m. but this usually ends earlier, at 1.30 p.m. because according to the rules stated, the last order in the restaurant is at... 1 p.m. or 1.30 p.m.? Oh well, I can't remember... anchovy brain.. Quote Ei Von, a.k.a. my kitchen partner :P Good to have her as my kitchen partner. We do argue (not the very big one, just small arguments!) sometimes, but I still think that I can work best with her :D We know what each another is capable of, so from there, we can work together better... For example.. We need to cut pumpkin, I have more strength than her, so I will cut the pumpkin into quarter-sized chunks, and we both work together to cut them into smaller pieces and peel off the skin :P But obviously she is better than me so when she have done her part she will help me! :D As for Rooms Division which includes Housekeeping and Front Office classes it usually takes about 3 hours per class we learn about how to make a bed (Housekeeping) and how to communicate with the guest in a correct manner (via telephone, or face-to-face). Well, I am sure I will learn more in Term 3 ;)
Moving on to Theory classes, well, my current favourite subject is... Tadaaa, COMG Thinking Skills! Taught by Mr. Adrian... A subject that inspires you to think more (conclusion of the subject in one sentence). Enhances critical and creative thinking...! Well it is fun... For Thinking Skills Black Box Challenge (It is a MUST for every batch, so enjoy!) we have a comb this year..
Yes, a FREAKING comb! So... what happened to the comb? Will talk about that in another post maybe, long story :) Well, we also have classes on Malaysian Studies, and no, classes will never be boring if you have a good lecturer like mine :P Miss Sophie! She is super nice and funny :D ♥ her! Believe it or not, we still have classes on Principles of Accounting, well we are learning the basics la :) I heard that it is a must for most of the courses... Business Mathematics I.. :/ similar to additional mathematics (certain chapters) and will continue in next term..? Food Science & Sanitation I... Divided into two parts, Nutrition and Hygiene, for the Nutrition part you have to study to know what are the functions of vitamins and minerals and some other things :P Hygiene is more on common sense (according to Miss Nancy) but still need to study okay? Got all the wierd wierd bacteria names to memorize la.. :-*
Well I guess that's all for now. BYE!
