Intensive Foodservice is driving me crazy!

My apologies for not being able to update for my blog for awhile. I have been busy ever since my course has embarked on the Management and Foodservice topic. Its crazy, trying to cover most of Foodservice theory in 2 weeks. Back when I was reading my diploma, about 2 semesters were spent covering this area. What's more, there's more to foodservice besides foodservice-HACCP system etc. I'm not trying to say that I know all there is to foodservice but I'm glad that when I was reading my diploma, TP taught us well. (:

Anyway, as the saying goes," All work and no play makes Joanna a very dull girl." So, during the long easter weekend which technically started on Thursday evening till Monday morning, the international students from my course plus a few others, organised a BBQ for us to relax and enjoy the unusual autumn-y weather. Being international students coming from Malaysia and Singapore with a couple from China, 1 from Hong Kong and 1 from Sri Lanka, of course, our barbie was the Singapore-Malaysia way.

So, food preparation started as early as 12nn and when we arrived at Lilian's house, the head chef was already busy at work. The preparation was about done at about close to 3pm. That is when we finally head out to Brighton Beach in 3 cars and lots of food in toll. I had a GREAT time at Brighton beach, being able to relive my childhood while playing at the playground after splashing about in the sea and of course, all the eating! We had so much food leftover that we had to pack it home for next day's lunch.

Anyway, enjoy the pics!

As Lilian puts it: We eat, go to school, sit, sleep in the same room together except bathe together!
