Not sure if I did the right thing but lately nothing felt right.  Is NY really where I belong? 

 

Strange thing is why I keep getting asked when I'm going back to NY. 

 

 

Today felt like war.  It was non-stop and all go from the time I got to work to the end of the night.  Everything went smooth as it could get but strangely enough I still feel a lack of advancement.  Wine dinner was exceptionally smooth given the condition it started out.  I only wish I had the opportunity to play with the 'main' items more as well as the finishing sauces.  Granted everything requires teamwork to make the dinner happen, I would feel more rewarded had I had more input into the final product.  Sigh...I guess Sunday will be a make-up day for me.  Too bad I will be ringing in lunar new year at work.  

 

I wonder what everybody will be doing?  Here and Asia....  I get this feeling as I age...I tend to lose touch with life in general.  Would love to celebrate the new year with gusto this year....(fingers crossed)

 

 

 

Damn ....  I can't believe it!  I'm missing two of my favorite culinary books, 'Art Culinare' and 'Tetsuya'.  Just when I find inspiration and ideas, the two coolest reference I posses is not around!  Ai Yah!!!

Journey?!  What is it?  Been doing a lot of thinking lately regarding my path!  Ahhhhhh...the answer is obvious but somehow somewhere deep inside me it's uncertain. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man....what a day.  Actually...what a past few weeks.  Since returning to work....with the new 26 million dollars kitchen and a new promotion, everything seems to be coming together.  My new position is consider the most exciting position available at the country club....too bad the pay doesn't reflect it.  DAMN!!  This can't be right but apparently...it is.  Or at least my first returning paycheck says so.  What the $%#*?? 

 

Anyway...for those of u who are curious...I'm the new VIP / Special Wine Dinner Chef at the ROCC.  I guess I should be excited but then again...the battle hasn't even started so I guess the bloodshed is still pending.  At least the new PM shift is great on my sleepless nights.  However, with new title comes new responsiblity.  And getting thrown in to fill other needed position sucks...cuz it means I could be working till late into the nights and have to be back at work the next morning bright and early at 5am.  Arrgg............!

 

Ok....I guess it's time to sleep.  This blah should continue another day!

I can't believe it!  IT's TRUE....TEXAS....NATIONAL CHAMPION...  WOW!  What a game.  For once..I'm proud to say I'm a LONGHORN.  Evne more so...I'm ever more proud becuz being an ex-longhorn player, to actually witness TEXAS win (finally) and to finally prove the skeptics wrong...WOW!
