Food for thought?

The month of April...F & B April to be exact....came and went....

Work is piling up this month...as they say, guess who'll cry come 1st of May...
am I really becoming BUSY (Being Under Satan's Yoke)?

am I back sliding in my faith with God?

am I mirring myself in bureaucratic mud? nailing myself into a political coffin?


What should I do now? Can I find a way?


Unappreciation. The existence of it just makes my blood boil. After being hospitable to external parties, overseas counterparts in an attempt to improve Singapore's bilateral relations in my own way...you get ticked off my others...

Providing personalized service and get a complain plus recommendation for negative reinforcement? What is this world coming to? Why do such ignorant foolish imbeciles even exist?

I can't say I am all that unfortunate...I have been blessed with a loving family, neither rich nor poor...I lack nothing...a good command of the English language...another bonus...countless and indescribable opportunities that many wouldn't be able to fathom.

In fact so many good things and smooth sailing paths have been placed before me by my Heavenly Father who holds the only power that can save this world.


I'm lost...disillusioned, lethargic...


Lord help me to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can...and wisdom to know the difference

I feel fed up today, and I don't really want to pray.
Things are hard for me and I'm too depressed to care.
I gues I'm tired & drained, I've done so much, been through so much with nothing more to give
Lord, I come to you in laziness, half heartedness and apathetic disbelief
And I praise you with my mind though my emotions aren't engaged;
With my lips though my heart is cold;
With my will though my spirit seems dead.
Pour your love afresh upon me today I pray, and accept me in my weariness.

Amen.

FHA 2008

The name says it all. The 16th installation of Asia's largest Food, Hotel and Hospitality trade show. This year was a little quieter, new faces, but many highlights still captivated and took my breath away.

I'll let the pictures do the talking perhaps.




After so many years, Temasek Polytechnic finally decided to sent a team, trained by the most renowned lecturers from the F & B industry.




The Hospitality Alliance foundation was strengthened, and F&B MA (Youth Wing) assisted in the operation of the booth.

In case you do not know, the Hospitality Alliance is made up of:

1) Singapore Chefs Association
2) Food & Beverage Managers Associations
3) Association of Room Division Executives
4) Association of Singapore Housekeepers
5) Hospitality Purchasers Association
6) Les Clefs d'or (Concierge)
7) International Bartenders Association



The proud moment for us all: Temasek Polytechnic clinched the GOLD Award for the Food & Hotel Asia Dream Team Challenge. This shows the hidden potential our students have, comparable or even exceeding global industry standards.


I'll let the pictures do the talking for now. Sit back and enjoy the culinary creations of the pastry & baking showcase. Mamma mia....so tantalizing & mesmerizing...
