Work life so far...

Hey guys, so as i said in the last post, i went to work at a bakery called Delcie's Desserts!

So far it was great - i learned how to cut cakes into layers, frost them and cream them! Also learned to do some piping and writing on the cakes yay (prolly my favourite part of it all :D). Oh, other than working in the kitchen, i had to learn how to entertain customers - explaining our products and what we do, recommend cakes based on dietary requirements - and cashiering. In my opinion, cashiering is the most stressful thing of all...

So anyway, for the first two to three weeks, i got to work at the central kitchen down the road from my house, and it was great cause i learned most of the things required over there! Then, when the pastry chef came back, i was posted to the branch at Fortune Centre. I've only worked there for a day (yesterday, in fact) haha but man was it hectic! *hopes it just happened to be like that ytd*

But i guess i'm quite lucky since i get to experience working at both places in such a short time - almost like just when i get the hang of how things work at the central kitchen. Also, i started work at this period of time which is the CNY season, so i get to learn how the cookies selling part goes too! :)

One thing i'm particularly excited about is ordering a cake by myself and completing the order whoop! (for my dad's birthday, most prolly) CANNOT WAIT FOR IT YAY

Okay, so here are some pictures of me/stuff at work:

Me in the apron and hat + the dessert cups i made yay

Look at those pretty colourssssss

More dessert cups hahaha

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY. I DID THIS ENTIRELY BY MYSELF. *cries*

Haha, i didn't take many photos because most of the time we were busy/dirty so... I will try to snap more if i have the chance! :)

On a totally unrelated note, the #SteamboatSeason has started and omgosh it was 3 days of steamboat consecutively (i feel dem fats blooping)

Day 1 and day 3 of steamboat (day 2 omitted cause busy busy)

Here's to a whole week of steamboat when CNY does arrive!!!

Went to Cafe Salivation with Sam the other day and it was gooood! Can tell that the chefs put in lots of effort to present the dishes and i must say it was good good food for a reasonable price. This came as a set lunch at only $14! (i mean, i think it was worth cause you don't always get good vegetarian food that don't skimp on the "liao" or flavour)

Have a few pending blog posts alr - went to SAM and going to Hong Kong - but i can't seem to find the time (or perhaps motivation, oops) to blog. OK NO I MUST DO THIS. 

Seeyou soon people, as we approach the season of (angbao) giving :))

Love, Bel <3

Heipi niu year!!!

It's 2014 guys. Wow, just wow.

2013 has been... happening in the worst/best (i can't decide) way possible but i really do thank God for every little thing. It showed me who truly mattered and who didn't, and taught me to look at things from a different perspective - life is not just about living a happy life (define happy) but to fulfill a greater purpose.

*i'm sorry but i think words are too limited to describe what i want to say, or rather, my grasp of the english language is not profound enough to bring across these thoughts/feelings i have, so i shall leave it*

Looking forward, i'm absolutely thrilled to see what 2014 has in store for me - fear of the unknown but excited about what is going to come. I feel like i have found a purpose in life; i seem to be able to see some light at the end of the tunnel but the light is still a mere spot. Can't wait to see what life brings me, in general.

On a totally unrelated note, i'm starting work tmr omg!!! Uber excited!!! Will update soon about that :)

Oh, and i realised i'm a person without anyone i can really expose my thoughts/feelings to (like those deeper ones) so i'm going to start writing a journal as a form of release. But i do have a problem of short-lived passions so i guess one of my new year resolutions is to see this through the year of 2014? Hehe

Wishing you guys a wonderful 2014 and may all your wishes come true (with hard work) <3

Ending off with Wang Lee Hom's "Still in love with you 依然愛你" because he was on TV last night hehe <3 So glad to have spent 13/14 with the important people in my life (family excluded cause everybody is/was busy :( )

Love, Bel :)
