The day have come for me to perform for a live paying audience...Its not that i never do it before,its just that this one was different from the rest as all eyes will be looking at my 3 recipe 1) PRAWN IN CREAMY GARLIC 2)FRITATTA WITH MIXED VEGETABLES AND 3) BREAD LASAGNE... This is being sponsored by 3 big names in SG, which is WORLD KITCHEN,TURBO AND GARDENIA BREAD..The past few weeks have been a terrible week for me as i had some personal problems and issues which makes me having bad mood and feeling terrible.I was oso feeling nervous bout the events,putting me on a stage with CHEF SITI MASTURA was like putting me on a stage with GORDON RAMSEY OR JAMIE OLIVER( the different is she is more beautiful than the other 2) I have so much respect for CHEF SITI that she is the only one i listen to most of the time cos she is so neutral in giving advice and very good in giving one too. The day starts of good and i was very nervous until it starts,Once its start, i cant fumble or makes mistakes...as its live audience and its 230 ppl around me.Just imagine how i felt and OMG i was nervous.....very in fact. The ppl makes me feel comfortable and was very supporting and encouraging,despite the late start and some hiccups from the organiser, thinks went well,BUT I GUESS I WONT BE DOING THINGS LIKE THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE...I wanna go back to my old life,life as a working chef and not a CELEBRITY CHEF.I just wanna be someone telling me that my food is really nice and not just to hear ppl say," hey ANDRI. I SAW U ON TV/PAPER THAT DAY".....I think i had enough of that and like i say before..ITS NOT THE FAME THAT I SEEK,BUT THE AWARENESS I CREATE.... I felt like at times i felt it takes too much time of my working hours to prepared all this and its just not worth all the trouble..A celebrity will fade, but a chef good food will be remembered..... I was happy that the event went well,too well and at the end of the day, i have lots of ppl taking pictures and recipe from me,at times i wish they would give the 3 chef involved a fair share of treatment and not just me, i never wanna over shadow my MENTOR CHEF SITI AND CHEF KOO cos these 2 ppl, really is the ppl i respect alot. I was truly happy with the write up they wrote in the papers and i thanks all of u who came and support me a very big thank u from the bottom of my heart..I refuse to call or name them as MY FANS.They are not a fans but they r my elderly,frens and even i love to called them my relatives.... TO TIA...DADDY IS STILL THE SAME AND NEVER FOR ONCE DADDY FELT LIKE A CELEBRITY,DADDY WILL ALWAYS LOVE U AS LONG AS DADDY LIVE.....
