Confused

I got some feedback from the Diploma in IMI.

Somehow I feel doing Diploma here is not that worth it.

I compared with a few friends who did and did not do Diploma here in IMI.

My friends who used to study in Taylors College back in KL told me that Diploma was 2 years.

As I was told, Diploma in Hospitality is very much based on kitchen and service.

They were saying that back in Taylor's they learned a lot more compared to what they offer here.

They had beverage classes, Kitchen, Service.

They had the same course here but I got a feeling that they just go through things briefly where Taylor's college really get into the details.

I was comparing what I was learning here and what they learned during their first years.

In terms of service, there's a bit difference due to French fine dining & American fine dining. So we cannot really compare.

In beverage class, Taylors College provide classes where students really experience and learn to do cocktails, mock-tails for serving guest purpose.

While here, we only learned how to make Coffee such as double espresso, Cappuccino, with the machine.

Here, most of the things were done in theory. I did learn about cocktails here but only through theory. Next week we are going to visit the bar but we don't get to make cocktails ourselves.

Even in Diploma, they did not learn what my friends learned which I feel is a disadvantage in the future.

In kitchen, Taylor graduates appear to learned more than Diploma students who graduated from IMI.

They discussed about the differences with their classmates in Higher Diploma and it seems that the standard of Certificate & Diploma here is not providing enough.

Then I had another Thai friend who did Diploma in Culinary in New Zealand before joining IMI.

He also agreed that what they are teaching here are not 'up to standards'

Lately they were talking about internships. Some of my friends from Higher Diploma did not even get an interview yet but my friends who did Diploma in Taylors and in New Zealand Culinary school already had 3 interviews and still more to come for the following months. I feel that they are more competitive in terms of knowledge and experience to those who were here all along.

I feel that now I still have a choice before I continue from here.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong perspective ?

I want to be competitive. Not in terms of studies but in terms of performance and leading. Studies do play a part but experience beats everything. What should I do now ?

Touched

Today i watched a movie name "The notebook".

Its about a old guy Noah telling another old woman Allie about a love story.

Their love story.

Allie somehow lost her memory but when Noah reads her the story, her memories comes and go.

They were young couples and fell in love, but faced obstacles where the mother of the Allie did not approve the relationship, after that she had to leave the town to pursue her studies. Noah wrote letters everyday, but her mother kept all the letters away. After one year, without any reply, Noah stopped writing and decided to join the army. And Allie met another fine young man. Once again she fell in love.

Noah came back from the army and started to build a house. A house once they dreamed of. Hoping that she would come back one day. Eventually she did although she agreed to marry that man. In the end, they had a family and stayed in that house. At the end of the story, Allie remembered that it was their love story. It was written by Allie herself.

She wrote : read this to me, and i'll come back to you.

They started to dance. But after a while, the memory went away and started to push Noah away. The doctor and nurse had to help and calm Allie down. Noah was very very sad. To see the one that you love, not knowing who you are. In the end, they held hands and went on to another world.

This movie reminds me of Pei hua and myself, of all the things she done for me.

I missed her alot. Today. I recalled all the memories.

When we were in lower six, i held her hand for the first time when i taught her how to dance. The day i ran half the school building just to get her number.

The days we would text each other almost every night.

Wishing good night, good luck for exam and everything.

The day i confessed.

The day we first kissed.

We would hold our hands in the car. Listen to songs, and sing together.

The day of my birthday, we sat outside my house at the porch and chat. At that moment, i never thought they were preparing the cake inside. Although i'm very aware of there will be a cake, but then at that moment when i was with her. I felt that i can let go all my worries, even lose my awareness. She attracted all my attentions when she was in front of me. Then when we went in to the house again, there goes the surprise. Thank you all my friends who were there. Wei xiang

Thank you very much. Eugene and Vivian wasnt there if i remembered correctly. But still i received a birthday card from vivian and also a wish from my dear friend. I wanted to go home so badly. But i must stay strong.

At this point of time, i know i must cheerish what is most important to me.

In order to do that, I know what i will need to do here.

Be strong. You still have people that you need to protect. from eugene.

Therefore, be strong i will.
