in the beginning..


Okay, so this is how it starts. =)


**** **** **** ****

Scene: Red carpet entry leading to a posh artsy museum.
Time: Night. 9pm.
Attendees: Elite guests clad in black, haute couture and blings.
Background: well-known quartet playing Coldplay's Viva la Vida.


Enters moi. clears throat. twice.
"Grab a glass of champagne, enjoy the soothing bossa background music, try the hors d'oeuvres, they're fantastic. Welcome to the official ribbon cutting of my site *snip* (ribbon a-cuttin', cameras a-flashin', people a-clappin', stars a-twinklin')"


Thank you for dropping by. Join me every step of the way as I journey into achieving the impossible when you’re a 23 year old kitchen virgin – that is to become a professional chocolatier slash pastry chef slash culinary arts extraordinaire. (choose one slash choose all)

Kitchen virgin might be putting it quite too much. I’ve had my fair share of instant noodles, easy mix salads and pastas, jell-o’s and the like. Sounds tempting right? This year, 2009, I intend to level myself up and stretch – widen my “experience” (lack of it) and this is Phase One, Beta V.1, rough draft.. however you may call it.



2008 was a hard year for me, spent majority of it trying to fix my broken self (quarter life crisis and all) and was THIS close to having done all the therapies out there. Later on, I realized, I was just wasting time, money and effort in all the wrong vices. This year, I decided to fix my life, focus, and invest in the culinary world. (well, hellew!!)


it's going to be a hard battle thus i decided to log every attempt, every mishaps, and if applicable, every victory here in the www.



first stop? tiramisu =) Watch out for my next entry! Soon..
