There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us.
#Don’t go for looks; they can deceive.
# Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away.
#Go for someone who makes you smile,because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
#Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human, and
enough hope to make you happy.

Well,its been a mth since I arrive here,filled wiv admiration,expectations,even great hopes that this is THE place for me to refine&lify my skills,knowledge,practically&theoretically,aspiring to work under chefs that's passionate about great,tasty food.
At least for the next 6mths,everything has turned 360degrees.
As a starter,5days of no work,leisure only due to eid mubarak,no thanks to the miscommunication betweenn hr& the rep that took us to our accomodation,oasis village.On the 3rd day,we went to abu dhabi,diplomat's raya open house,thats the furthest i went to so far^^.(pics posted on facebook)
As i commence my work on 5th,I was reassigned to khaymat al bahar,a poolside kitchen from main kItc.i must say its a full of crap.to my gut feeling,theyr practising nepotism,cronyism,hell why not,8@9 are indians,sri lankans@nepalese.only four remaining of us are all of various nationality,german,philipines,myanmar&a south african girl..kitchen operation is sooo unorganised,working wiv a bunch of chumps...pretentious,pompous,self aggrandizement prevails constantly,me being on the neutral side,along wiv christian,german guy are sometimes mistreated,taken advantage of.them being the mumbo jumbo,aggravating sth thats merely of a minute matter,just so in hence their 'concerns',voicCes are heard of.But as 30days have passed,the scenario have started to shift to my favor.^^
All of them NOW knows that im "Somebody" unlike most of them...the chefs dont come&bug me.they let me do my job,peacefully as they normally practices on daily basis.
Now ill just cling on for another 5more mths before i ask for a transfer to a fine dining restaurant,most possibly pierchic@pisces...
otherwise,ill just head back home after a year,then to australia definitely,my next destination(my top of the list actually)
