TASK 4

3) If i could be somebody else for a day.

Do you have an idol? When someone asks you if you could be somebody
else for a day, who will you choose? My friend has told me she wants to be King
Syed Najad who is governing in Iran. I think everyone have their own idol. I have
also an idol. An idol is very important in our lives. We will become a fantastic
person if we have a fantastic idol to look up to. If I could be somebody else for a
day, I want to be Redzuawan bin Ismail or more well-known as Chef Wan. He was
born in Singapore in 1958. He is the eldest in a family of seven children. I really
like him because he is a hilarious and has a happy appearance. He is not just
good at making great food but he also owns a unique persona and is a
gregarious person. He loves to entertain people and socialize. His favourite type
of food is Asian and Japanese food, followed closely by Thai and Provance
Cuisine.

If have a chance to be somebody else for a day, I want to be Chef Wan

because he is very intelligent in his studies and making decisions. Not many
people know the fact that this Singaporean-born cook was a qualified accountant
but due to his deep interest in cooking, he quits his accounting profession. After
that, he learned cooking and now acquired an associate degree in Professional
Chef Training and Hotel Management from the California Culinary Academy. He
also has a Ritz Escoffeir Diploma from the Ritz Hotel in Paris. He became a
creative, innovated and professional chef. I am really impressed with him. Even
though he knew his decision would disappoint his father back then, he could not
hold back his passion and was no longer willing to lie to himself. In our
community, he is a living testament of Cherish your passion, follow your heart.
If I were Chef Wan, I would not neglect my profession as an accountant but to do
both accounting and a chef at the same time. I want to make my life full with
work because I love to work. I hope I can achieve a lot of credentials like him
such as in accounting and culinary.

Moreover, our country is very indebted to him because he has made our
countrys name proud at international arena, representing Malaysia as food
ambassador in many kinds of food fiesta and tourism exhibitions around the
world such as Malaysia International Trade Board. He also has appeared in
worldwide news and programmes such as CBBC Asia, CNN, Channel News Asia

and so on. Besides that, he has successfully made numerous cookery
demonstration at many kinds of food fairs such as The World SIAL Food Expo in
Paris and The World Anuga Food in Koln, Germany. He received a standing
ovation by the participants at the end of his speech. His old style of mak-nenek
is nagging never fail to captivate people. In short, he is one amazing
prominence. If I could be Chef Wan for a day, I would like to send my proposals to
big companies. I am confident that they will take me as a part of their companies
since I have a lot of experience. They will be astonished with my experiences.
Furthermore, contrary with Chef Wan, I will ask the government to give me a
medal because I have made Malaysias name proud. Moreover, I will buy a
television especially for food programmes only.

In addition, Chef Wan has a lot of experience in cooking. It is because after

he quit his profession as an accountant, he focused on how to be a chef.
Nowadays, he holds many tags and roles as professional chef, Food Ambassador
of Malaysia, Resident Chef to the Asian Food Channel, Food Critic and others. He
is different from other chef because he is not just a chef. He is well-travelled, an
actor, a motivator and a speaker. He has cooked for many famous people which
include the Sultan of Brunei. Thus, he got a lot of skills in this profession as a
chef. Based on his experiences, if I could be him for a day, I want to open my
own restaurant. I will open my restaurants in all cities and teach my chefs to
cook with my own skills. Furthermore, I want to establish a charity and an
orphanage. I want to be their chef and to cook delicious food for them. It is
because I want them always smile and happy. Food makes people happy. No
matter how big your problems are, you still have to eat. I believe that problem
will seem bigger on an empty stomach. Thus, I have to find out a lot of
experience to make everything better.

In conclusion, an idol is very important in our life because he or she can

be our inspiration and we will try our best to be like him or her. I think Chef Wan
is the best individual example. Food has made him famous, rich and he could
travel all over the world. I hope he does not stop his profession and always in
spirit as a professional chef. I have a strong desire to be like him. Thus, I must
study hard and always be courageous in everything I do. It is to make sure that I
can be the second Chef Wan. Where theres a will theres a way.
