Finally, I stepped over to the other side of the bar as a barista. Woohoo!! My first day in Starbucks! Wow, so many things to learn, so many people to know, so many things to see, observe and remember. This is the most exciting first day ever! I had my first impression (introduction to the company), filled in tonnes of forms, and got a handbook (like an inch thick) which has to be completed within 28 days. Haven't done homework or assignment in years! We did coffee tasting too - Latin American House Blend ^^ Then for the on-the-job training, I got to make 3 cold beverages - vanilla latte, mango passion fruit frap, and ice blended mocha. These names are supposed to be called systematically, which I have yet to learn. And by the way, my whipped cream looked like shit but my training coach said "Ok la!" ^^ Hopefully it wont take too many shitty looking ones until I get it right. Other than that, I had much more practical training on 'sliding' and cleaning. ...

you know shera ... you got a good touch. your craft is excellent ... that goes without saying! you're enthusiastic, you keep learning, and you present your stuff real well! you MUST open a craft shop some time in the future. i imagine you would be really creative in combining your home's native craft and your own and give it a totally unique, hip and up-market twist. collaborate with native artist or crafter ... you will definitely do well. i can feel it!
