SKILLS

On Writing

This only seems to work when I have a lot in mind and I have no one to talk to. Or make that, one of those days when I don't want to speak. And so I rant and write nonsense random stuffs, whichever comes into my mind first. Like this one.

On Cooking

There were very rare instances when I cooked for someone out of passion: that was only twice as I can remember. One was for ex boyfie where the attempt of baking failed. I ended up buying something instead and the other one was when someone came over at the house and wanted us to cook together. Talk about LOVE.

I never cooked for myself or for my parents out of necessity. There's always food somewhere else which I can buy. But cooking FOR someone is different. There's that happy feeling during the process of mixing the ingredients. I don't know when I can cook again on the criteria of passion. I buy food for survival and eat junk food if worse comes to worst. 

I believe that the skill of cooking comes with the ability to identify flavors. Yeah. I always loved coffee. I like the way how it makes my heart palpitate, FAST. Along with my love for coffee, I want to mix a good one for myself. But my attempts have failed. I have asked a few friends how they mix their own and did try it at one point in time. I've got used to the coffee taste but my palate is looking for a certain flavour. I'd actually go for the 3-in-1 Brown Coffee mix of Kopiko than the ones I had mixed so far. So sad.

The best coffee I tasted was when we visited the Archbishop's Palace. The Archbishop himself mixed the coffee for us. It was like magic. And uh, after that, I can't find any better cup of coffee.

Therefore I conclude, I can't mix a perfect coffee for my own sake, how can I even make a decent home cooked meal. Horrah!

Oh yeah, Dad's a very good cook. He's my favorite! He always cooks when he's at home. Blame him my eating skills! Weeeee~ :D

Other Skills?

When you talk about singing, dancing and art skills, nah. You can leave me out of it! I'd probably just make a huge disaster initiating those :))

On Tech

Let's say this job I have right now. It's better than anything else. I can imagine myself dealing with PC's than counting numbers. Hmmmm.. Speaking of which, I still have a lot of modules to study for my Tier 2 Certification. I don't think I'm going to pass though. But for the sake of learning, studying would be a good option. It's funny how my batchmates participate in the discussion and lab works. While I, stare at the monitor / trainer and the obvious comes out that my brain is not processing anything. On an exaggerated note, that gives one an idea. :))
