Jealous mouth

Oh my god, class is beginning to be fun these days. Although Duncan was pissed when we were a lil' late for class. But, I have to say this is the best class since my first day in college.
We had restaurant practical the whole day, from morning till afternoon. I know it sounds boring when I write it, but I just want to tell them out. Alrite, today we learnt about table service or what Duncan said American service or plated service. It's like table services you can find in hotels or some restaurants.
We learnt different types of cutleries, but I forgotten most of them. Too many =.= Sorry...
Then we learnt how to do napkin folding. It was fun. But because I'm slow, I didn't catch the ways of folding napkin at the first try. Haha...I kept cursing during that time. Leong kept imitating me during lunch. But I managed to fold 4 types of different napkins. Not bad eh? ;p
Then, Duncan taught us how to set a table for four. That table is quite small, squarish table. And I thought table setting is easy and takes quite short time. It's more complicated than I thought. It's unlike the way we set tables at Secret Recipe, which took only 5 or 6 minutes at most. First, we have to spread the table cloth according to the angle and make sure it's in the middle of the table and equal at every side. Then we need to wipe the cutleries and water goblets with hot water. Setting the cutleries is really hard, cos we have A LOT of cutleries to be set. Haha..Then setting the BB plates and fold the napkins, place the table centrepiece and all those. By the time I finish my table, it took me 20 minutes!!!
And I know how to hold the dinner plates like Kak Erda!!! Wooohooooo!!! My pinky still hurts though. Luckily I'm a lefty and things won't be really hard for me. I hate it my hands are really small. T.T
After that, went to Secret Recipe to look for Carrie and Ah Bor. I saw Kenn and Keezul at Vedablu. Surprise surprise! I'm gonna work there tomorrow!!! Now, I'm really a part-timer. Good luck to all part-timers not only in Secret Recipe, but also Oi Jin. Hehe
Okay, that's all I got for today. And here are some pictures~Please don't judge, kay?
