MONEY = EVERYTHING??? Kalidevan say NO...MONEY juz SOMETHING..

bfore sem break start i already plan to work part time and earn some money and go 4 competition....Battle of the Chef at Penang in June...so i need around Rm500 for it...thank god i also found a part time job...1 hour Rm10...so the boss said work 8 hours per day and need to work 8 days during CNY....so i also already count the salary should be Rm640....but first day itself...the manager ask me back home juz after 6 hour i worked coz not really busy...then i juz back home and while the way i back home a bit upset and questioning god...god ah why u make me juz work 6 hour only....i want more than it ah....but i still happy and thank god at least i blessed with Rm60 than non...the second day also same....juz work 7 hours the manager ask me back home ...coz not really busy...so i juz back home and thank god at least work more one hour than yesterday....then third day again...after 6 hours the manager ask me back home...same reason again....feel abit upset....but whn i sit down and pray my heart keep on said thank god coz i really blessed with tht salary...whtever i get maybe will be enough for me...i still hav 5 days to go....so maybe will earn more than i want with blessing of god....as God's word in bible...now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to

the power that works in us...Ephesians 3:20...

i still remember those days i always think money is everything....always quarrel with my

parents becoz of money....but now i realize money will not give us everything in our life...

So the experience tht i get through working this part time job is MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING IN

OUR LIFE>>>>BUT JUZ SOMETHING....and i feel with money we cant buy everything in our

life......its juz a small chapter in my life...yuhoooooooooooo I LOVE MY LIFE SO MUCH.....

i also believe God will make a way whr there seems to be noway....he works in way we cannot

see...but he will make a way for me...

Past...Now....Future of Future Chef Kalidevan

whn i was finished my SPM exam i was working in klang while waiting 4 result and staying in my anty house.....whn i was there i start to close with one of my cousin sister and her husband....my brother in law is an petrol engineer....his education life and working life really admire me a lot whn he share his experience with me....and i dream to be like him one day....but tht time i forgot to think wht is my interest actually....just felt tht want to become like him too...but never think tht am i interest in engineering field...finally result was release and i got just an average result....not able to apply for any scholarship if i want study engineering......becoz bfore my result release i was plan to study engineering in any private college with scholarship......

so tht time the only choice is STPM......but i still thinking if i take STPM wht course i going to study after tht????wht is my interest actually is????so i realize since i was young i really love to cook and try out something new....so i felt tht it would be better if i study some field which related food industry and i start searching for college from websites and also newspaper....finally i found the only affordable and suitable course and college 4 me is Tarcollege...Diploma in Hospitality management in foodservice....and i tell my parents about this to my parents...but tht time my mum very support me but my father not support me at all....and scolded me very badly.....a big question again in my mind?????wht to do nw????tht time my mum ask me to call my brother and discuss about this with him....ask his opinion...but tht time my brother also ask me why not u take STPM...then i told him tht i found out tht local university not hav culinary art or foodservice course except UITM..and uitm only for malays....so if i study STPM also no point at the end i will dono wht to do...so my brother also agree with me and ask me to go ahead with my decision.....at the end my father also cool down and let me do wht i want...........so i also contact college and applying my course......after i did all the application and approve then only i realize tht i am the first person in my family going to study in private college.....all my cousin and brother study in local University.......
When i was enter college life i plan to work some part time job for my pocket money....i duwant my parents spend so much money on me....i know they work hard and earn money plus my family just a middle class family......i addition my brother and all my cousin studied in government University and they got loan and not ask money from parents....im the first person who study in private college...so i feel duwant ask money frm my parents also...i want indepandent as my brother and cousins....so i also start find a part time job and finally i got it....i worked at gold label cafe but just 3 or 4 days only....the first week in kampar i already start working...but cant cope with it....when i went back home after 3 day working there....i start to think its no point if i work and no ask money frm parent but didnt get a good result...i realize if i working i will just get a average result coz i will lack of time to study.....so i think and think and finally make a decision to stop from working and just focus on studies.....because i also promise my parents i will concentrate on my studeis and get a good result....plus my parents spend more money on me compare to my brother so i feel duwant to regret them....besides tht whn i plan to take this course my father also not really happy....he wants me to study engineering....so i need to study well and prove to him those who study this course also will success in future too.....will earn more than an engineer too.....

so i start study and motivate myself must do the best i can....during midterm exam..i didnt do well and felt tht its really not easy to get a good result in my final exam.....start to no confident....

but i still continue study as usual and went 4 final exam.....and after exam i just felt i will pass all the paper but not confident will get good result.....

after few week...result released....i got the best result among my coursemate...wow really thank God....coz i really never imagine i will got a good result as tht....tht time i was really happy and felt tht i done my promise to my family...my parents also very happy....i still remember tht time my brother send me a msg and saids tht continue study hard as nw.....n make appa and amma proud of u.....then only i realize actually i also able to study well just lazy and no confident.....and giv myself a target at least must get diploma with distriction...thts mean CGPA 3.75

after tht whn i was in sem two....i was not focus on studies....feel tht very easy only....

cincai cincai study also i got 4 A in sem one ......so start to lazy and always spend time 4 useless thing.....at the end...sem two result sucks....only 2 A....and my CGPA decease very much...frm 3.7 decrease till 3.1 something....wow...

tht time i really regret very very much.....but no point...all this happen is becoz of me....so blame myself.....then whn i was in sem 3.....i really put my maximum effort and evrytime study hard and do my best and pray to God hope i can get the best result.....i duwant do like last sem.....i want recover back my CGPA......and finally i got straight A tht sem but my CGPA...not increase much..just rose to 3.4 something...but i not really care bout tht...tht time and felt can recover back in next coming sems.....wow tht time really happy and joy...really really thank God.....whn i call back my family to inform them my result...i still remember whn i talking to them my tear also drop down.....very touching and happy and joy in my heart..............

then semester 4.....i keep on burning fire on my aim....study well and do my best.....but i didnt get the result tht i wanted......i aim to get 4 A but just got 3 A and my CGPA just 3.5 something.....its really make me upset and spoiled all my planning coz i plan to get CGPA3.6 something...if not i cant get DIPLOMA WITH DISTRICTION

then i count if the following 2 more sem if i got all A also cant get diploma with distriction....just can get merit...coz my CGPA the maximum only will get 3.72...but i want 3.75...omg...just 0.03...shitttttttttttttttttttttttttt

i really really really regret why i not study well in my sem two....but no point d.....its tooooooo late.....

besides tht, bfore i went training i plan to just study until diploma then work for few year and continue my degree.....but during training time all my managers and those educated profile ppl advice me to continue my studies till degree....they said u will regret if not continue nw....then i aslo felt tht i may regret....why not just continue my degree without working first....it will be more easier....then i told my mum and ask her opinion....wow...i never think tht she will encourage me and she straight way ask me to continue if u want.....coz i promise her last time...after i finished my diploma i willnot

depands on them anymore....i will work and continue my studies with my own money.......but nw i want depand on them again....but thank God my family finance also better nw....effort to let me continue study.......

Ponggal festival and its food

Thai Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated by Tamils in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Indian Union Territory of Puducherry and in Sri Lanka. Pongal coincides with the festival Makara Sankranthi celebrated throughout India. Pongal in Tamil means "boiling over or spill over." The boiling over of milk in the clay pot symbolizes material abundance for the household. Thai Pongal, celebrated at harvest time, is traditionally intended to thank the Sun God and farmstead livestock that helped create the material abundance.

The festival usually occurs from January 13 — 15 in the Gregorian calendar i.e. the last day of the Tamil month Maargazhi to the third day of Thai.

Pongal is traditionally dedicated to the Sun God Surya. Tamils thank the solar deity for the good harvest and consecrate the first grain to him on this 'Surya Mangalya'.

The holiday denotes the start of the Tamil month of Thai. It marks the day when the Sun purportedly shifts northwards. It signifies the commencement of Uttarayana, which represents the northward journey of Sun. The days get longer in the Tamil lands. Thai Pongal falls on Makara Sankranthi celebrated throughout India as the winter harvest. This also represents the Indic solstice when the sun purportedly enters the 10th house of the Indian zodiac i.e. Makara or Capricorn.
