whites & checks...

yes! the moment i've been waiting for! i finally got my whites and checks today! waaahooo! for those who don't get what i'm talking about, i'm referring to a chef's uniform... white top, neckerchief and apron with checked pants. seriously, i felt a moment of enlightenment when i put on my uniform. i'm not sure how to explain it but you suddenly just become something... new :). it's not like throwing on a schoolgirl's outfit and becoming Britney Spears. it's more like... like... putting on a policeman's uniform or a fireman's coat. no, i'm not saving lives but yes, i might be putting out fires and trying to save burnt meat! you get the point. there was something proud about putting on that chef's coat. it doesn't look half bad either ;). and nothing against Britney... she did look hot in that schoolgirl's outfit.

on a totally different topic but still having to do with school, my instructor is an absolute riot! the man is at the very least, hilarious! not only does he refer to some of the guys as "cookie", he absolutely loves taking the piss out of everyone, including himself! the crack of the day was when he said something about one of the guys in the class playing with Barbie dolls. the fella replied, "no... GI Joe!" this was followed by our instructor saying, "with a kung-fu grip, right? *wink wink*... "ham sup!" ok... this may not sound that funny but if you understand cantonese, then you know what "ham sup" means! as expected, only a couple of us caught what he was saying and started cracking up! to put this into better context, our instructor is dutch! ever heard a dutchman speak cantonese?? i have! so go ask your best chinese mate what it means. or maybe if you ask nicely, i might tell ya. cracker! hahaha...
