a Chef! and the CAse of Missed Opportunities..
u often hear abt how opportunities and chances don't come knocking twice on ur door(it is rite?ahha)... and how often we let ourselves down with these missed opportunities and let go of what could be possibly urs to have/become..
I have this absurd wish to become a chef..haha..okok its not some childhood ambition kinda thing but well...i felt it would be nice to be a chef...since i like cooking and enjoy experimenting cooking new stuffs...however...societal pressures does not allow me to be in such a position..if there's a module in FASS--> Cooking 1101E- Learning the basics of a chef i think i would be the first to Bid for it...haha yeah...but sadly...well...apparently nursing can have a degree but u dun need one to cook...mayb that's why there's lots of hawkers around that don't really cook well..haha..but main thing is yea...in this world, a degree means the most basic n impt piece of paper u should grab 1st before u try and pursue ur interests...true rite..?
Anyway, back to being a chef...i was bored on saturday nite traumatising myself over philosophy..hence if u saw my nick on msn it reads "Panda Potter n the Philosopher's BONES" well...i really wished i could get to the bones of philosophers...for talking so much..haha.. Then, i decided to do something i never done my whole life....and that is to BAKE!! haha...yesh...i cooked before but i never had the chance to bake my whole entire 21 years..well..i never had an oven..haha...so anyway i rem our kitchen has one and i decided to bake something using my leftover Digestive biscuits and toberone choc. I didnt noe what i was gonna make but i tot of using the digestives' as a base layer and then the toberone choc on top in a layer..so i went up and then started mashing up the biscuits and i added hot water to make it stick..then i tried to cut up the choc to put on top but wasnt even enough so i added milo onto the top...haha..yesh...Asked christel for help cos i dunno how to use the oven. She came up and asked wat i baking and i said i dunno also and both of us started laughing..but i was like "hey be more encouraging k! first time i 'try' to bake something" ...so baked the thing....came out it was kinda..erm...not tat nice...but bcos i think i didnt add butter and another thing was the digestive layer too thick...the inside had a lil brownie kinda taste which would be nice if it was properly done...well...would try to improve the recipE!! i promise to make something nice out next time k! gimme time pple....
Had a few missed chances this wk...well first i won something from 8days...some Nacho Libre movie goodie bag...but i dunno got wat..and since gerald's not free this wk there's no one kind enough to send me there to pick it up...its in some secluded "niao bu sheng dan" industrial park near Yio chu kang MRT...walkable..but its jus far...and yar..think im gonna give it a miss to collect the goodie bag..abit sad though..free but cant take...haha...anyway i also sent in an application for the Kelvin Tong movie audition and they msged me on sunday nite to go for the Audition on mon morning...but the thing was at UBI!so i kinda sian...wasnt feeling well also but plus the fact i still have philo to finish..(YEs i haven finish) so i tot i should give it a miss...i mean...i Shoooooooo dun think im gonna get in compared to any other normal guy with better complexion than my lang-gar-ED face....sho...y bother wasting the time...although i really felt dumb cos well i actually went as far as to send in the application so why not give it a try....but haiz...i noe its just me....but i jus dun think this chance would realise into anything concrete...yar..mayb i could be some Ke-Leh-Fair in the movie rite...and actually become the next Elvin Ng....who noes rite...or who noes i might jus go there and audition and nothing happens and i wasted a trip.....well...i gave it a missed....i did already...so no regrets aeron... =X
So what if the next time something like this happens...? how would u react? would u take up the chance? or would u just simply give it a miss like me...becos u noe how much u can make it...? hopefully...the next time something happens...i can blog here n say i made it...haha...! =)Air Turbulence at 3:08 PM
