"Cooking" with Jamie Oliver.. :-)

Location: Selfridges, London
Time : 8.45 - 10am
Activity: Bertemu sifu/ Ministry of Food/ the Naked Chef (errr..I prefer not to translate this! :P)

Pagi2 buta dah tercongok kat depan Selfridges.. Bersemangat giloss..

kebetulan lak takde kelas pagi... Tujuannya adalah untuk bertemu sifu in person! Masa sampai ni, takde org pun lagi.. maklumler Selfridges nih kat Oxford Street (tempat sopping tersohor kat London), so rerasanya musti smua org lom bangun lagi kan.. takpon smua org bizi nak g kerja.. so tinggalla kami bertiga jer: yg takde kerja-tapi ada exam ni- tercongok2 menunggu kedai bukak.. :D

sementara duk tercongok2 nih, kami merangka plan.. sebabnya HANYA 100 customer pertama jer yg boleh q utk bertemu sifu! dalam hati, risau gak takut tak sempat jd the first 100 customers!

Sebenarnya sekarang nih (bulan Mei) Selfridges tgh buat 100years celebration- diorg est tahun 1909.. memang promotion gila2 gak la.. semua benda diorg kuarkan limited edition, khas utk celebration ni.. Macam2 ada, dr Blackberry, handbags, hiasan rumah, crockery hinggala botol air coke pon diorg wat limited edition bewarna kuning!!


So sebaik sahaja Selfridges bukak, kitorg terus meluru ke basement. Takut tak sempat jd the first 100 customers punya pasal.. Naza terus Q (dia dah beli mags siap2 semalam), sementara kitorg g beli buku.. and I'm the first person to buy his book from Selfridges today!!

Lepas byr buku, terus join Naza masuk Q. Kitorg org pertama yg q, tp sbb nak bg peluang kat budak kecik mat saleh amik sign dulu, saja bermurah hati tukar tempat (sambil2 boleh plan/tgk mana location strategic nak snap gambar).. so kitorg jd la org ke 4-6 dlm Q tuh.. tak sesia tercongok tunggu kedai bukak.. :D

Aku org ke 6 dlm q.


sambil q tuh, kitorg aturkan plan.. get everything ready. plan nak snap gambr dr angle mana.. etc..etc.. tanggungjawab nk amik gambar nih kitorg serahkan kat 2bijik kamera DSLR ngan sebijik kamera Lumix cikai ku..



then tunggu...



punya tunggu... ~tak lama pun, q dlm 10minit jer..



akhirnya..


Si Dia muncul! on time! tepat pukul 10pg, seperti yg dijanjikan... hehehehe masa nih makcik2 dan akak2 kat belakang kitorg dah menjerit2 excited! hehehe


My cooking Sifu! Incik JAMIE OLIVER!! :D


memula sampai tuh dia sibuk promote 3rd edition magazine dia kat reporters..

bila dah setel, then baru dia start ngan signing sessions!




Dia nih tersangatla sempoi...

sempatla dia bagi kata2 perangsang...

The Chef and The Future Chef! :P
Bila berada di sebelah celebrity, tetiba terasa cam celebrity laks! hahahahaha :P ~kamera byk sangat, tatau nak pandang kamera mana...

Actually nih la official book signing session oleh Jamie Oliver nih.. session ni pun dibuat sempena 100 years Selfridges (sebabtuh hanya 100 jer customer yg layak amik sign..) thats why kamera byk sgt+ reporters ramai giloss.. ntah2 esok masuk paper! hehehe


Gmbar nih aku suruh pekerja Selfridges ambikkan.. Thats why dapat zoom dekat.. and aku suruh gak si jamie nih posing... nak kena framekan letak kat dapur, sbg inspirasi memasak! hehehe

lepas amik sign,saja2 pusing Selfridges..
semua hiasan dibuat dgn warna KUNING!


Dah boring pusing2, kitorg terus kuar dan g melepak kat Starbucks Oxford Circus.. minum frappucino.. sambil borak2, gossiping, updating.. and planning for another book signing session! :P

owh! I'm so inspired! :D
Thanks, Sifu! I'll work harder to become a better cook!

~and he is the 1st person to officially wish us happy anniversary... :D
