This is it

Carrying out with my espresso based beverage as usual when i abruptly came out with the idea of  picture some mother nature in my beverage.

Sort of weird and insane

But every superb invention often initiate by ridiculous idea,isn't?

After visualizing the image,i make up my mind and give it a try.

A couples time of failure is inevitable

Ultimately,

success will always waiting you at the end of the path.

Here is it,

my  first creation of a flower art=)

Coffee really do affect me in a mass.

From zero knowledge to tremendous enthusiasm

Is this my path?

Is this my destiny?

Conceived deeply  and ultimately I've determined to opt for this route.

Setting a goal for myself 

Being successful when i reach 30th years old

Sharing my thoughts with my mom

surprisingly she didn't oppose my idea nor halt me.

I was so delighted that she complied with my notion

Her support is like an injection that strengthen my heart.

I ne'er forget the sentence that she uttered to me that make me out of tears

"Whenever you felt exhausted,remember  that the door of our house is always wide-open for you."

No mom..

I won't return home with my lethargic body.

Instead

i will bring back prosperous and wealth to you.

This is my promise to you.

Italy

Will be my next destination in order to upgrade my coffee skills.

I assure

I will be one of the best barista in the world!

wait me Italy!!

Path towards coffee~

It is a golden opportunity that was given to me since i am in Holiday Inn Atrium for a period of time.

The Barista training at a barista academy!

This en-kindle my emotion so much which turn out to be the root cause of my insomnia the night before the training. 

Head off toward the academy in the morning at Temple ST. It look pretty similar like others shop from the outside but once we entered, we were astonished by all the equipments and a huge variety of coffee syrup as well as coffee beans. As the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover.

After preparing all the equipments and a brief introduce of each other,we started our 1st lesson-espresso extraction.

Herm..not the 1st lesson indeed as we constantly doing this in our cafe~

Although this is not my 1st time, but yet i was able to feel my trembling hands pulling the espresso shot..

I wonder why..

Perhaps my guts was wandering at street when i was facing the pros..

Mistakes and mistakes were corrected and uncountable shots of espresso have been tasted.

The taste?

Gosh!

Sour and Bitter!

I can even smell the espresso when i breathed in the air.

Exaggerated?

I am telling the truth...

After hours of practice and practice,tasting and tasting

I knew that pulling a perfect espresso is not an easy task to accomplish.

Perhaps one can pull a perfect shot one time but keep the consistency is the most tricky part to be done.

From gliding the coffee powder to filling the basket to adjust the level of the powder to tamping the powder to fitting the basket into the machine to observe the color of the espresso shot to cut the espresso shot to cleaning the basket..

Jesus Christ..

How many steps that ought to do in the right ways yet one still unable to pull a perfect shot of espresso..

I suppose this is what we call practice make perfect..

Ultimately i was managed to pull an acceptable yet not perfect(my opinion) espresso and ended this section.

 A good shot of espresso should flow out like a mouse tail.Not too fast,not to slow.

Espresso shot should have a thick layer of crema on top of it. This look a bit similar to the guniess stout beer.

I think i have fallen in love with coffee.

Once i started the path,I know there is no turning back.

Coffee, I choose you=)
