i can't believe it. i was looking forward to taking part in the World Gourmet Summit since last year (despite the overly extravegant prices), and now, it's ending and i totally forgot to since up for any of the Masterclasses! There were a few this year concerning pastry, such as the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary and Patisserie Masterclass, and more importantly, the FREE Industry Workshop (Patisserie) which is over!  rawrrr.

in death brings lessons and learning. attended my uncle's wake yesterday, and will be later on as well. you can find him in the CATs classifieds obituaries section. 67 he was. Cancer is what my parents said. but we didn't think it was this far on and happened this fast. talked to a neighbour of his, about kids, education, family, siblings (all in chinese). made me think. but somehow as usual, i'm still emotionally detached. like what champagne said, the world is slowly being desensitized.

on a brighter note (amid a gathering thurderstorm), friday was a surprising day. SLA Spatial Challenge Poster Exhibition as well as Award Ceremony. FINALLY. an end to spending sundays doing the project. Our team knew how much(or little ) effort we put into this, thus the pessimism and eventually the surprise when we found out that we got 2nd place. like OMG, WOW. seriously. it totally made my friday. 

lastly, i await the hectic four days ahead of me.
