Sugar Highper

I don't know why I'm not sleepy yet... Must be due to the highly loaded coffees I had during work yesterday. Went back home, bathed and then went off straight to class. Reaching the pastry kitchen, I realized there was noone around!



"wtf. don't tell me no class."



Just as I was gonna freak out, AhFatt sauntered down, reading newspapers. *phewww*

Then Carolyn came from the cafeteria. I don't know why, but there's always some homing device somewhere around. Like I'll come early to college, go to the smoking zone and sit down. After a few puffs, everyone starts coming from everywhere to there. It's a pretty nice feeling. :D



As I didn't have anything to eat at work - cashless, too late for ATMs, no stock for biscuits AND some idiot spilled the whole 2kg packet of Milo on the floor, and tried washing it away. Ended up with a semi-dried floor with pools of Milo in random corners. -_-

It was that bad, that someone I remotely didn't know actually offered me his meal in the break room.

Thank you, Mr. Remote Man, it was a sweet thought.



So coming to college, I was hungry, highper and in between minds.. since class started late, I decided to have eggs and bread. Ended up with a meal of 3 eggs, and 4 slices of bread. Haven't eaten anything since 7am, except for some lychees (lychee me likee!) and some cold spaghetti sauce. Am hungry. Still gian'ing PHOP like mad. Still haven't gone. Still thinking.



Anyways, in class we did our first part of sugarwork... Pulled Sugar. Dammit. It's damn nice! I think I shall start exploring this part of culinary in my free time. It is way too interesting! We all had to make a flower. Sounds simple eh? HEH. nope nope.... I know Carolyn will upload the ones she took on her cam - better than the cacated ones I took..

The pulled sugar, cut into pieces and put under the lamp, to soften for working.

The initial rose by the lecturer

Sweet and simple...

A sugar spiral... me likee!

My rose...

Working with sugar, would be dealing with temperatures as high as 150C and reheating it under the lamp, usually ends up numbing nerve endings, so the fingers are basically "senseless". It is hard, especially in our humid weather, to make something decent. Of course, I say that purely in my defense. *grin*

The sad thing about sugarwork, is that it takes a lot of thought and expensive equipment to make, as well as planning, skills and artistic flair, but it can only survive about 3 hours in our weather due to the humidity. So, in typical fashion, I'm so reluctant to let go, and am more willing to let it slowly melt away in the freezer. *sheepish smile*

So yeah now, listening to Hujan, I'm thinking of tahan'ing, so I won't get unhealthy amounts of sleep. But then, the cool bed is so welcoming. I think I shall start a little nap. Which, in my case, has plenty of overtime. :D

Ok, I'm officially retyping most of my words.. I think its TIME.
