back in KUALA LUMPUR

2011-03-24T09:54:00.000-07:00

finally my journey in hard rock cafe has ended, it's a total 1 and a half year i'm at there, alot things happened, the good the bad and the ugly, i miss every happy moments there, and i wish to prolong it, but time doesn't let me, i got a new job is senja restaurant in saujana kuala lumpur and so i got myself back to KL again.

the pay should be not much compared to hard rock, but at least i am learning to cook now, properly. and this will be my first step in my fine dine career, no more casual dining kitchen for me anymore.

i miss fishing in penang, i miss the air there, i miss my friends there and i miss the one i love there, hope to see u.

and at last but not very least, to ivana, i'm sorry i hurt u so much, but there is always a decision to make, and i've made mine, thanks for everything you ever brought to me in my life, without you, i can't be in this shape today, i hope u can find somebody better, and it's look like u already had, i hope u live well and happy, if you are reading this, thank you.

lonely night it seem,
sat alone, hearing the midnight blues,
fishing plan cancelled in the minute last,
while indulge myself into the memories,
wishing to touch your face i am now,
wish to forget but can't,
pain do i feel, i didn't mean.

light it up, and blow it out,
heat lightened me mind to ease,
stupid it seem but good it feel,
i can't let it go without it touch the end,
once daily a few per hour,
what to do, how to stop,
lightened it feel, regrets it killed,
lesser i feel.

stand i there i carve the fruit,
layer of petals i peel it off,
magnificent it look on the table,
hits from wind, time and light,
pallor it turned,
and the bin it go.

add the rock,
hold the glass,
swirl to taste,
slip at ease,
feel the hits,
taste the sweets,
and slumber i go.

driving fast, break the wind,

leaves falls, hit the grounds,
climb the rocks, jump if needed,
reach he spot, cast my lure,
dust to dust and earth to earth,
done is done, regret i less,
one day later maybe i will,

maybe i will,

when the moon turn red.

change yourself, shall not,
blind and choose, shall not,
give up, shall not,
wait for, shall not,
wisely choose, thou shall,
random whooping, shall not,
move on, we shall,
bittersweet, it is

north and south shall meet,
when the day,
the moon is red,
the sun is blue,
the grass is yellow,
and the earth is black.

happy is easy,

sad is easy
so don't be blinded,

and look the other way round.

Convo and Onion ring?

2009-10-14T23:42:00.000-07:00

Wow, looks like it had been a long long time, i didn't get my hand on this blog, and in 30 more minutes i must bath, toilet, get ready to work, and yes go to work, and yes in TGIF it was mac n chz, but in hard rock cafe it's hand peel, hand slice, hand washed and hand breaded onion ring and tupelo chicken tender, which no matter how, looks like gonna finish everyday, even though in a single day we do 20kg of onion, ok maybe less then that, 10?

Convo is on the way, that will be the day where i can meet most of my after-college-nomorestudy-friend parents, grandpa, grandma, or brother sister. Me myself i'm bringing my dad, my grandpa and my grandma, this three person have been in my live until this very day, supporting me from the first day to school, and obviously until my college convocation.

And of course i already apply leave or 23 to 27, hmm, 4 days?? enough? and i have this pig which fly far away as far as 2000km on a plane, wish her faster come, next friday it will be, right?

and for Maynard, today only i realize your new blog, sorry, day have been busy for me to online, awhile more we have our own session of enjoyment of life with the fire.

Off day, pre opening...miao

2009-09-16T04:58:00.000-07:00

OK, sorry for no update for a long time, Maynard's blog still down, no!!!!! Maynard, activate it back please, ok and today is my off day after 9 days off no off, kinda busy for a pre opening, and most of the time due to my afternoon shift, which start from 4pm to 12am, until next thursday, finally i'm getting back to morning.

I love off day, i sleep like a cow, yes, a cow, it just feel so good when you sleep, relax, recharge for the next week, and because of some ghost story in the hotel, it getting abit more creepy while working, usually when nights fall, and where is my pig? have not been online with her for quite some times, work work work.

In here, fryer is alot easier, except they don't have the oil filter machine yet, and i'm wondering how how, because the internal filter aren't able to work too due to some, technical problems. Oil hasn't been change, or maybe i'm just lazy doing it the old school way.

Now every single day i've been watching my car petrol usage, gotta keep an eye on it, and budget my monthly usage, lesser outings, except li foong fetch, or else i will just stay at home and goyang2 myself.

Guess i'm returning to goyang2 on games, facebook and more games now, bye

Selamat Merdeka ke 52 !!!!

Off day, rainy day, gaming and staff meal

2009-08-23T04:47:00.000-07:00

For the past one week, we the cafe staffs, had been cooking staff meal, god it feel good when people say your food are good, and especially the Executive Chef himself enjoyed yet, Next week no more, and due to puasa, not good enough, too less people eating, and yet some eat also.But i get to learn how to cook kick ass curry, chicken rice and some kick ass wok frying skills, Other than that, this few days have been raining dogs and cats, which is good cause it will me chill, so nice to sleep and fresh air.

And so, today is my off day, i get to sleep like monkey finally and get to have a few round of games with Li Foong at netcity, after been puasa so long to cybercafe, finally now get to go, it feel damn good although some of the game we are losing and owned, yet it feel so relax, of course now days it's impossible seperate me from mousehunt and sometime biotronic, yup it's the facebook games.

Oh ya, and i get a free room in Hard Rock Hotel for 2 days 1 night, can't wait for it hope i get the lagoon deluxe, which i can jump to the pool direct from the balcony, which indeed good on a hot day and bad on a rainy day, and rainy day is more now days but still enjoyable. Tomorrow gotta fill up petrol, shit and there's on Rm50 in my wallet only now, But pay is coming, no worries.

And for final, congratulations to my college mates who all just finished training, all the best lagi la.

Class Class Class

2009-08-13T07:16:00.000-07:00

So Hard Rock provide me class everyday, and of course, apply tech class, like today, how to pan fry fish and how to grill chicken, OMG. Really goyang telur case, and working with gay boy people, slightly like how in TGI, just the different is they don't say I Love You, and not to be surprised, all the staff in the cafe know my name, and for sure call me whenever they see me, no matter they are guy or girl, or half, tsk tsk tsk, whats wrong with my name in the card, Cow Kok???

And the food there, even though it's free but, it's not salty enough, not sweet enough, not sour enough, imagine asam fish that are not spicy, sweet and sour, lick-my-balls style really. But free food, what to do, and next Monday and Tuesday, cafe staff will be cooking the staff meal, because the hotel kitchen staffs have some training going on, gonna have cook better standard of food, kick their ass.

Stress level is still optimum level in Hard Rock, but i believe, later, it will grow, situation gonna change once it start business, fries fries.

Hard Rock Motto :

to spread the spirit of rock and roll
by creating authentic experience
that ROCK!!

TGIF

2009-08-04T05:13:00.000-07:00

Ok so currently i'm working in Hard Rock Hotel already, one week already, nothing much except talks bout history of this and that and whats Hard Rock really about, and for this whole month it gonna be training only, it's like back to college, everyday sit down and look at powerpoint slide. Ok back to the main point, bout TGIF, i've snapped as many pictures as i can, and usually it's busy time when i wanna take pictures.

Inside the kitchen look like, in the Saute there's Sam from Sarawakian, he came in after me, learn fast and cook fast and nice to talk with, a good cook, Then Me and Yap(Ayam) Cilantro College graduate, which turn out to be one of my best friend at there, and we speak hokkien in the kitchen.

Then the extra 2 more guys is from Cilantro also, Yap mia friends, Ah Kwan the one squatting, and Ah Long the one who standing, although only spend 1 month with them but we got extremely close and often break into stupid laugh cause of their jokes. Both of them enter at July. And Ah Long get into fryer before i quit, teach him everything that i know, and he learn fast, and i like his attitude, always no problem in everything, never judge by size.

Me and Michael Jackson chinese version, and me posing in the chiller, it's cold in there but i love it.

The bangla is the first pic is Shamin, the niamahai guy, we all look cool when cap on, and the Indian lady is Punita. Always help me when i'm half dead by production, but she often have mood swing and always goreng my chicken wing. While the next pic, you can see Devan the expo fella, Sam in my left, Myo my sifu in fryer on my right, and far right is Ronnie my sifu in windows, During my times in there i have spend enough lot of times with this 2 myanmar hero. Usually closing together, and i know they sad like cock littat when know that i'm leaving.

Me and the dishwasher, Hussein and Sai, and me and the Get-the-fuck-off broiler, Ravin.

and another picture of me and Devan.

Quite alot people i din't manage to take picture with, such as all the Manager, Server, Supervisor and Hostess (Sherryna). Usually because i start taking picture at night, and most of them go back already.

People who are not in picture, Emma, Roger, Shankar, Litton (darling guy), Nandu (Orang kaya), and a few trainees of course.

Well i love them all eventhough i'm not really happy at there, but it's my first place, and it's where i started my career. All the best to T.G.I.F Sunway Pyramid, and i really enjoy working with the General Manager, Adrian.

Bye

The Jakarta Trip

2009-07-31T09:45:00.000-07:00

Well, I've been missing for a few days, i realize that of cause, cause i go Jakarta for holiday, woohooooo. A holiday before i start work and before Ivana start work, cause after start work for sure no time for holiday, and i just back from there, what a wonderful trip i gotta say, we went to Bandung with her friends and her family, and i drive, and yes, i drive Honda Jazz, nice nice.
Not to forget 5 out of da 7 days there i ate frozen yogurt, it's damn nice, refreshing, not too sweet, yet there is sour and there is fruit and topping. Hope it will come to Malaysia soon, or please, Penang first.

Melissa, Novi, Me and Ivana, in a seafood restaurant named Bandar Djakarta at Ancol, the food is cheap and good, but waiting for table is a pain in the ass, thanks to Melissa quickly we get 1 table wit the name of Nova. Fresh seafood for you to pick and cook according the way you want it. Must visit again, and i drink 2 glass bottle of coke, you know the old school bottle of glass, it taste nicer, so i wallop 2 bottle, and with slice of lemon, superb.

The Bandung trip, drive straight for 2 hours to a place the road smaller than Jakarta but volume of car is the same with jakarta, Indeed scary and i need to break only to move my car, the car practically auto move all the time, due to the mountain up and down road.

We arrvie thr Ruman Sosis or Sausage House, a place where sell good hot dog, crispy skin, and chewy, we wallop sausage and ice cream, and buy some sausage back home.

The pic on top is Finah and her sis, our tour guide, friend of Melissa, then Teng-teng, Ivana sister, then Ivana the Pig, Yunita, Ivana mia good friend, Ratna another good friend of ivana and Melissa

Of course me, and yes, there's alot girls in this trip, and cause of my broken Bahasa, hard to speak with them, practice more is a must.

After the Sausage house, we off to drive again to this hot water park, which look like waterfall park, but just the water is hot and practically everybody at there is lepak-ing on the floor mat all over the place, family with old and young, expensive ice cream and not much choice of food, and the water is really hot, at first i dip my leg in it felt cold actually, 4 minutes later u can feel it's actually almost boiling water, luckilly not enough to cook your leg. The one in pick is Ivana mia mom.

In the green table picture, where you can see me and ivana is eating some sort of ice cream like stuff, and yes, that's the frozen yogurt, i'm really addicted to it, so nice and good and healthy, Malaysia have it too, but it's not really popular, i guess cause it doesn't taste as good in Jakarta, they have Sour Sally, Orange Plus, Heavenly Blush and Red Mango, all oso good, but there is a small different in each of the brand. But still, damn nice one. LOL

And behold, lasagna that i make at Ivana house, minced chicken, beef sausage, pork ham and tomato, 3kg gained!!

The night before i back to Malaysia, we went to this Mall with alot restaurant on the top, Sumthing Pelangi, can't remember, we dine in Bricks and Cafe i think, the food is good though, 3 mocktails, 4 Main course, 1 appertizer and 1 dessert for less then rm100. Supposingly Novi and Yunita would come along too, but one need to work OT, and another busy with boyfriend, so left Melissa. But the food is good, Tiramisu. RAWRRR...

I enjoy this trip more than the last time, must because i'm already use to Jakarta, and the food, some are really good while some ok ok, and their apam, they call it martabak, in here it's only peanut and sugar, at there they throw in alot butter to retain moist and smell, then sesame seed, peanut, sugar, condensed milk, shredded cheddar cheese and chocolate rice and for me it's total godlike. I can never forget the taste of it in my mouth, instant orgasm, LOL

That's all i guess for this trip, summarize alot already, cause i'm quick lazy also, next post will back to T.G.I. Gotta chao now, bye byeee

Ok la, finally i have some time to update my blog now, and today is my off, currently i'm at Klang and later gotta back to Mentari for tommorow 11am shift, and a 12 to closing shift on thursday, guess i going to need some cigarettes and coffee on that day, freaking 14 hours of works, gotta be a shitload of production,coz friday, sat gonna be hell, and not to forget i think i getting 12 hours shift on friday, that means covering for lunch, tea time and dinner and fucking supper by the way fryer station now currently short of 2 permanent staff, coz 1 got transfered to nacho station another 1 got fired due to laziness, stupidness and bossness. Not to be surprise he will get fired, but what to do, the whole kitchen is happy,

So fryer left me and Myo and 2 trainee, and 1 newcomer, gotta teach and teach, gotta remind them bout the stuff in the oil, gotta ask them to fire the fries, gotta ask them get ready the bun for burger, gotta teach them prep. But the best thing is i wonder how it will be after i leave, sad for Myo, he is a good cook, he is fast, doesnt mind being dirty, and make sure every items come out from the fryer crispy and golden brown, and it's very hard to see him slam, seeing him make me feel, i want to be like him, LOL.

And sorry Jon for ffk u to bah kut teh, not hungry, next time i belanja, don't emo.

And i need to drink alot water, but hard to get water nowdays, except pipe water.

Dirty clothes need to be wash, what if the washing machine died?

Goyang-goyang!!

Can't wait for my chocolate cupcakes.

Sherryna getting fatter.

I hate my front hair pony, disturb me working.

Drinking pepsi make you work faster (sugar rush).

I miss Aniq.

I wanna eat a good nasi goreng mamak now, but grandma is having me fried chicken for dinner.

I will never get bored of deep fried cajun shrimp with chili sauce or hickory sauce.

Reading Kitchen Confidential and Humble Pie over again, line kitchen..gotta love them.

Found Ivana special Zara dress hidden under her own very nose.

Robin is the one got fired, a good cook for production, but not on the line and often doesn't care bout Managers words, guess they are forced to pull the plug.

Got shocked by electric while cleaning kitchen (instant awake)

Where's my book? You ass, to Han.

Go for a short break after busy dinner service with pepsi or sometimes cigarettes feel like in heaven.

In here i write stuff that i don't tell people.

9 - 9 and Macaroni havoc

2009-07-04T07:37:00.000-07:00

OK so, yesterday i'm back to work, and i've submitted my resignation letter, not much comment from kitchen manager other than why so sudden and stuff like that. So after that, by the way i'm in the morning shift today and yesterday, and so i just doing my work and i go check the timetable, too my biggest surprise i'm working 9-2/4-9 on that day, so it's 9-9. So i feel, nevermind la, my production sure can finish. But no!! biggest of the busy time well it's saturday. I don't have any chance to cook my marcaroni for Mac n Chez, not enough microwave to make the cheesy sauce. So i am struggling with the production till 9pm, from 9am. Got really sick of this stupid Mac n Cheese, 2kg of cheese and 2kg of marcaroni to make 1 times, and i gotta make 3 times, today i gotta make 4 times, STUPID RECIPE

And so, Sherryna apparently is sadded by my case of gonna leave the company. Ok Sherry, listen to me, deep-fried food is not healthy, Jusco mixed rice is better, ok.

And i still haven't tell Myo bout my case of leaving, and i guess Shamin will be really sad if he know this. Oh yeah, let me intro you guys Shamin, if u ever get into TGI Sunway kitchen, annd there is this bangla who shout NIA MA HAI loudly, he is Shamin, and another one who call everybody Darling, is Litton and one more who call you Orang Kaya is Nandu.

Promise you, before i leave there i gonna take alot of pictures, (Maynard, borrow camera)

And my girlfriend got a job already, in Mandarin Oriental Jakarta, So far for finally. Congratulations aaaaaaaaaa...

Interview in Penang

2009-07-01T07:57:00.000-07:00

Ok yesterday i arrive Penang around 3 something in the afternoon, cousin fetch me, back to auntie place, meet li tjun who just came back from Australia for holiday with extra misai. Spend the evening after that just by online and magic cards. Make sure enough sleep for the interview, photostat copy of cert is ready, and my pictures is ready.

And so today morning, li foong fetch me to the Hard Rock Hotel, it is FAR, it's much more further comparing from Klang to K.L, and it's jam, i didn't late for the interview, but li foong because of me late for his class, so we arrive the hotel, it looks like still constructing, asked the guard where to interview he say sana sana 2nd floor buildig, so we realize the interview for pre-opening is at another building which is not far from there, so in 5 mins we arrive the building, Eden Plaza i think.

Went in the office is at second floor, go in, get the form, fill it up, know a malay girl from ipoh which she's applying for Receptionist. Then we went for the english test, i thought what english test, end up the ques is like ''if a guest ask your bout today lunch special, what would your reply?'' and ''if you are working in Hard Rock Cafe, how would you greet your guest?'' and alot somemore, of course i done it without sweating, then this young man come and told us that all the manager are having meeting, so can go take our breakfast first, so i went to the mamak and have a cup of milo,

Then went in back into the office, after wait a while the Kitchen Manager ask me for interview, yup, it's a one on one interview. So basically he explain what Hard Rock are, the motto, the style (you can dye your hair, put on earrings but must wear the uniform) and etc..and the pay, of course it's lesser then my current job, but i feel that working in Hard Rock would give me a better future.

So yeah, one month notice to tgi on this friday, anyone know how to write a resignation letter?

13 inch RIBS!!!

2009-06-29T07:15:00.000-07:00

Transformer and Bah Kut Teh

2009-06-25T10:06:00.000-07:00

What a off day, sleep damn nice one, go eat bah kut teh wit Jit Hu, my temple friend. Until now i still can taste the bah kut teh taste in my mouth, ZOMFG, I GOTTA HAVE IT AGAIN, the shop we visit is the Ah Foong bah kut teh near Ridzuan Condominium and i'm fucking hungry now ok.

ok la, bye

A gambling time?

2009-06-23T11:43:00.001-07:00

Well, just off work from closing, just after bath and good night message with the pig. After 3 nights of straight closing shift, i started to feel like shit already, especially today, closing alone. Myo is not there, if he's there, well everything can be done faster, closing for fryer station is not that easy, with the filtering oil and shit all. What a day i can just say.

Before i went to work today, some number called me, i know must be something, and then a guy voice ask is it Kok Man Yaw? and i say yes, and yes, he is from the HR department of Hard Rock Hotel, Penang. A new hotel that scheduled to open this year in Penang, he ask me to go for interview and i guess i'm going for it, next week. Hope this time the deal will be a better one for me, and as i know Hard Rock Cafe is a reliable place for me to further my career? Maybe?

Well it bring shivers to my spine..

Working Life

2009-06-21T11:34:00.001-07:00

I guess everybody that i know, knows where i work right? Yes i'm working at T.G.I Fridays in Sunway Pyramid, I have no discount for you if you dine in, unless i wanted to pay for your bills, but only if i am eating with you there, and most probably will be on my off day, and my off day usually i just wanted to sleep my ass off or back to Klang, sleep my ass off and eat, and goyang2 like nobody business.

The business in T.G.I is so much better compared to Italiannies and Apartment, which the 3 of them belong to 1 company, but only T.G.I is a franchise from U.S, and basically it's busy during lunch and very busy for dinner time, such good example is yesterday, where i start working frm 9am to 7.35pm, production production production, the only part i hate bout morning shift is i have to hold the line and finish up my production all alone until 2pm Myo the Burmase Hero arrive to save the day, and usually i can't finish up the production on time, and it's not that easy compare to Italiannies, and i am in the fryer station, boneless wing, buffalo wing, troublesome, how i wish the manager would put 2 person on the morning shift, sure much smoother will be.

And so yesterday is the busiest day i can see for the 1 and a half month i'm there, everybody moving, all the micros are in red color, some start to goyang already, waiter shouting for their food, expo shouting too, manager walking around handling guest, hostess bringing the guest in, dishwasher washing the moutain high crockeries, and during that time i felt, i like this place, it feel like, i am doing what i am suppose to do, compare to hotel, this kind of scene won't appear long or maybe won't. Eventhough there are some people i never enjoyed talking with on the first day i'm at work, today it's different, we talked, we joke, or just plain scolding Fuck-you or I love you for no apparent reasons, and this is the only place ever i've heard a guy calling another guy, darling.

Sorry for having no pictures, wish i could have some pictures to show you how the place look like, but my new phones is not here yet, please bear with it, sooner there will be pictures.

Bye.
