Anatomy Of A Stupid.

Run Of The Diamond Mine

You know how I’d review the group every term at the end of it right? Well, since it’s the night before training for everyone, I just thought I’d twist things a little, to instead tell you guys about where my groupmates will be going for their training, and give a short word or two about it if I happen to have patronized it before.

This term around the group received 6 more members as a result of the dispersed Group 6 and a completely new division arrangement for each group, though Group 1 and 2 suffered no casualties as a result of the change, as none of our members left the group.

So, let’s start with the very unfortunate Mat Rempit Comel aka Hadi aka bigHuddy. Why do I say that this very random, intelligent and bushfighter which attacks at the times when you least expect it, unfortunate? Well, it’s a sad story which starts at a little restaurant called Bakerzin at One Utama. He applied  for it, and got confirmed according to the system and was set to go together with Kah Mun, another one of our batch mates. Sadly, at the very last few days of the term exams, he was told he got rejected instead. Confused, he attempted to resort to options such as JungleB’s lair, Cuisine Studio and Michaelangelo’s Sunway Pyramid, but to no avail. Finally he’s now confirmed for Michaelangelo’s Pavilion, where everyday he will be forced to take a 2 hour journey on public transport since he’s not used to riding his bike to KL. One sad ending to a happy introduction, don’t ya think?

Then there’s Aniq @ Beruang @ LadiesMan. I personally don’t think his placement actually matters, because his present will be felt all the way to hundreds of miles away with the laughs he’ll be giving to people at his new workplace. Quite a sad case at first, but a happy ending as he gets to be in the same building as his ex-husband, Maynard. TGI Friday’s is the name, frying is the game. He’ll be enduring training next to Zaha which will be at the microwave section. Just kidding guys!

Then of course there’s Maynard and Group 2’s MagicMan, Leon Ng. Like I said, Maynard will be in the same building as Aniq. I’m not sure if it’s a Sarawakian thing, but strangely enough, Maynard opted for Italiannies voluntarily and keep in mind, he went to The Westin for his first training. Sort of like a downgrade, don’t you think so? It’s a whole different story for Leon lah, since Italiannies doesn’t fry or microwave everything their pizzas. LOL! Again, kidding guys, nothing personal *cough*

Racking in about 30% of the whole group is Cuisine Studio. This is almost definately thanks to the rumors and lansi-ness of JungleB whom proclaims that Cuisine Studio is the best and everybody there loves him, but I’d just say that guy’s just being lansi as usual. I quote someone, ‘he’s territorial’. Have fun making Ratatouille guys, and I don’t mean for term 5’s applied tech okay! xP Jungle will be bringing along Han, Elaine and Jon the taiko of Cheras.

Then there’s the wise one, Phang, and the… well… slightly less wiser one, Seng Ming aka TuEsBiatch Man aka Carrot Head. Don’t ask me how or why, cause I just play along most of the time. They’ll both be going to The Apartment at The Curve which I almost chose after I got rejected by my first placement. One fine day after exams I caught Phang and his girlfriend (yup, it’s true, the guy’s taken!) right in front of The Apartment when I went for a movie. He gave me a brief intro about the restaurant and it’s concept. It seems pretty casually formal. I mean hey, there’s a bed in there but the food is fine dinish, cool right? Also tagging along is Calvin Khan, master pastry chef from Group 3.

Not to forget, Miss Hypertune, or should I just say Miss Hyper 2008, Chong Li Shuang aka Mischa aka Reepicheep. She’s on a roll with Banker’s Club in her pocket for first training, and is now headed to Westin for her second. I’d say the amount of exposure she’s getting is going to be pretty helpful in the future, where exclusive service lessons are absorbed from Banker’s and techniques to work fast will be taken from the hotel. Good luck Mischa, if you ever marry Nathan don’t forget to call me ok! (like what you always say… no la, I talking crap only.)

The always welcomed new member, Kok Man Yaw or better known as Cow will be going to Seri Pacific KL, after his first attempt for Westin turned unfruitful. Of course this time around with his new girlfriend, Ivana Ta-Hjj-Ya-Wee, they’ll be going together just like how Aaron Teh and Samantha Tey went together to the exact same place. Looking at Sam’s notes, trainees at Seri Pac should be in quite good hands and should be blessed with quite valuable information.

As for Jay, well I was quite convinced that he would go to Lobsterman PJ, but due to unknown circumstances he’s now headed for TGI Life Center instead. Just like the other TGI trainees, I’m sure his microwave and frying skills will be perfected, just in time for term 6’s final exam xD Once again, just kidding, as if Parkroyal didn’t use MSG in what, all of their dishes?

Hong… well, I’m not too sure about the place where she’s going to, Mantra Bar, so I’ll just not be an ass and stop here.

Ckin @ Adik Abang Hitam will be going to PNB Darby Park, a very exquisite serviced apartment with beautiful views and reasonable rates. Though the F&B lacks a little on the kitchen side, they still serve pretty good breakfast, and you have to love the fact that it’s just next to a mamak, KLCC AND a park with a public swimming pool in it! Wait, maybe we should skip that last one…

As for me, I’ll be going to Third Floor, a restaurant located on the second floor in the Marriott KL. As mentioned, I got rejected at first, but after appealing (or what the manager likes to call begging) I got the chance to train there, only starting with F&B service first. See the thing is, for second training we’re not supposed to have service, but oh well. I’ve always liked the concept of the place, and excellent reviews from food critics, websites and not to mention previous trainees Elaine and Han didn’t help me want anywhere else. Guess I’ll just have to prove that I don’t beg for fucks and do what I have to. Wish me luck!

Last but not least, Chef Frederic. Wait, he’s the lecturer…

*silence*

Oh you didn’t catch the lame joke? Well don’t ask me, Jungle said humans have the right to make lame jokes once in a while.

So that’s about it, I’m about to go prep my uniform for duty tomorrow, and head to bed. I believe this training will be the very stone that sharpens our future, but like it or not I wish everyone from DC and DH a very safe and good training, and ultilize this chance as a second angle for viewing what more will you do or be in the future. We’ll always love the easy life more, but a little hard work can lead to good recognition, and accept the result of recognition which David Cook calls the time of your life.

Take care guys, see you either soon, or in 3 months time. Don’t cut yourself.
