Sugar, Spice and everything nice

Hey mom!

Lets start off with my experiment with eggs :)







Introducing the legendary shrimp and egg mayo that Ziwei gave 9.9 :D. High indulgence, low in guilt.

Ingredients:
Shrimps, Hard boiled egg, Lettuce, Pepper,Oregon leaves, Classic Caesar Dressing (fat-free), Salt and Fat Free shredded Mozarella Cheese.











Introducing, the B.S. Omellette. This is something you eat when you're desperate, low on cash and late at night heh.

Ingredients: I'm not even going to talk about it :(





Lets get back to what I've got to say!
Miss you mom! Today’s my off day and I realised that just before I left for work so whew! Haha anyway yesterday was great fun at the working place. I’m being trained at the Bakery outlet in the resort, this is where all the Hot Fudge Sundae, Thaidai (how do you spell that) Cheesecake, brownies, milkshake and Chocolate Vanilla Twirls (Fat-free sugar –free) ice cream comes out. Place of lots of happiness huh!

My trainer of the day, Liz, is a white blonde lady probably in her 40s, brought me through the operations of the Bakery. Her style and “qi” reminds me a lot of sis, jie that’s right! She gives very specific instructions, patient with greenhorns, confident and experienced, a great trainer that my friend Zijian sorely misses. He sits next to me right now in a Starbucks at Orlando Premium Outlet.

Zijian, age 19, height not short, weight not heavy, used to be in NPCC and thinks that his 18 days of training in a NPCC course is just like how it’s like to live Orlando for 6 months. His life in Orlando is quite sad up till now, forgetting about having Aloysius constantly bugging him, his work schedule, location, work scope and colleagues are all really bad. He has to wake 3AM everyday to go to work and traveling time to his work place is 2 hours! He has a problem with beef so therefore, he can’t work in the F&B outlets (or rather his manager didn’t post him there) so he work as custodial for the past 4 days of work, what’s worse he has a psycho Japanese colleague who holds on to his “sweeping-territory” with pride and asks him to back off when Zijian helped him clean his table.

“Friends don’t laugh at friends, they make others laugh at you.”

I feel better about my job in Pop Century Resort now. At least I got the day free, since my traveling time to resort is only ¼ of Zijian. Funny thing is, there was once Zijian’s manager sent him back on his car, it took only 10 mins. The bus service’s loop is real big, which explains the 2 hours trip LOL. Happy 6 months Zijian!

Back to my day at training, the Bakery is fun in the sense that it’s less stressful but you also get to see the reason why Americans get fat. 3 scoops of cookies & crème ice cream with lotsa hot fudge, nuts, whip cream and a cherry on the top, time check, 11 p.m. Also it was Screw-free day # 5! No reprimands and no points deducted for the day, it was rather relaxed that I feel guilty collecting the pay. We dint get lotsa orders, work was easy, so was cleaning up and stocking goods. For work, I also got to touch the espresso machine for the first time, the pal who gave me the caffeine to study thru the night at the airport, so this is what’s inside you!

Reached home at bout 1:30AM though, cos we knocked off at 12.30 so we missed the 12:30 bus L theres only the 1AM bus, 1/2 hr bus ride so 1.30 I got home. Shared my lunchbox with my friends living downstairs since my dinner was provided by Pop, head back and pop off to bed for gym’s 10.00AM next morn!

So what did I do today? Gym, cook, do some Disney work, went to Disney Cast connection looking for cheap steals there (found none though :( ) and right now here I am, Orlando Premium Outlet mall’s Starbucks heh. I had lunch just now with 3 ladies at my place, just like the rule of nature, just like the law in a pride of lions, the ladies sit there and the guys (well only me) did the cooking.

Menu of the day
Entrée: Chicken & Egg Mayo (110 Calories)
Main Dish: Supa Nice Chicken Tenderloin with brown rice (380 Calories)
Side order: Steamed Sweet Potatoes (180 Calories)
Dessert: Assorted fruits of the day (150 Calories)

Dinner at the Premium Outlet for today, I had my first subway here. Turkey breast, lettuce, tomatoes and sweet onion sauce (fat-free of course). Rather filling but still went Starbucks to relive my life in Singapore, a cake and coffee :) Banana and nuts cake (no sugar added) and a Tall Java Chip Light Frappe (1/3 less calories and no sugar syrup). What’s with all the fat-free and calorie count? My dedication to the lifestyle I have back in Singapore that is, it’s irresponsible to borrow your son to USA and return a fat him back to you, right mom?

Alright mommy I miss youuu, buy mi jiang kueh back for breakfast when you finish sending sis to school k :)
Signin off wit love
Will
