Alas,

The holidays are here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the number of exclamation marks explains it all haha! I have been waiting for this for soooo long it feels pretty surreal now. As much as I was so sad about CP ending, I really do think that I (along with everyone else) deserve this break.

Speaking of CP, I don't think I've ever laughed and cried so much and so hard in a day (last Friday). It indeed was an appropriate farewell, and I am just so so so proud of every individual and group who won an award. Everyone has come a long long way- we have been through heaven and hell all in 4 months. The past 18 weeks in the different kitchens has shaped me in a way that it had changed the way I think and the way I do things both in and out of school, which really caused a lifestyle change. It is somewhat true that onlookers see us and think we're crazy (in a sense), but I really enjoyed it. From now I don't think I'll ever complain about having 9 am classes (on certain days in a week) anymore because that can't possibly beat waking up at 530 am every morning. Come to think of it, I think it's really mad. The good kind of mad.

During CP I have learnt so much it's truly incredible. And like Chef Gypsy said "the kitchen is a magical place"-damn right it is. It's magical coz you learn how to create a something out of a nothing. And you forge friendships that you thought could have never been possible. I really like the fact that we are just 60 but we're a strong 60. We're a hardworking, food-loving 60. And we're amazing *flips hair*

For now I can't say that I really really really really miss CP coz I'm truly enjoying my holidays. But I think I'll get to there soon enough. Meanwhile I'm off to enjoy the next two months ha! Ttfn!
