New Year is Coming

PCMC Lobby Concierge

Prince Court Medical Centre, KL

New year, it come and go. As a chef, I stuck in the kitchen as we have to prepare the set menu for the diners. I only enjoyed it once in 14years since I started in this Food Industry. If I not mistaken, it was 2007 when I worked at Prince Court Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur. My wife and I went back to Manila, Philippines for holiday.

New Year Countdown in Manila

We went to the Ayala Centre, Makati where all the happening scene happened. If I not mistaken, we stayed around until 2am.

It is also my first time, I been to Philippines. It is a great memories.

Now once again, I  will be without my wife and our son as they are back in Philippines. Of course I feel sad but sometimes we sacrifice for our future. She have to take care on the business in Manila.

Yes, it will be a busy night. At the moment, the restaurant reservation nearly full. That is life as a Chef. It is all hard work, hectic, stressful and long hours. Not like what they are trying to portray in the TV show. In the show is already cut & paste, minus couple of factor that I mention above.
