heart sunken

today i teared..

i've been blessed to be in the presence of a great cook..

someone who i regard as a mother in the kitchen..

for the past few months i started working at this korean restraunt and was put looked after by auntie wong.. she rocked all my principals of the kitchen..

a professional kitchen is a place in which one is brought to believe that they have to work their way up from the bottom. dish washing.. cleaning up.. tossing salads.. basic cutting is what newbies to restraunts do.. for her it was the other way.. shed never let us do any of the cleaning.. she had her eyes everywhere.. teaching us even the more advanced dishes.. never scolding us when we did it wrong.. always reminding us to be better cooks.. she was always smiling.. she cooked awesome lunches everyday for us hungry and roudy boys.. there was so much love in her towards the kitchen and her peers..

today was the last time she cooked us our favourite sweet and sour fish.. and cleaned up after us cause we were too busy handling orders..

i really feel so overwhelmed with emotions right now.. even my partner ata was saying he felt like tearing.. but why? people come and go..its the natural way of life..

but how many of those folks touch your hearts and share what ever knowledge with u.. who teach u to stand on your two feet.. who are selfless and put you before themselves.. how many? i'm not one of those people definately.. even as i write this i feel so much of a sinking feeling..


i'm honered to have worked with an angle in the kitchen.. a true chef who never deemed her self fit to be one.. a 55 year old with the sprit of a 25 year old.. her ways of teaching will never be forgotten.. and i know as much as i'm not like her, i wish to attain qualities like her..

she doent know how to use the internet but for the heck of it, all of us are gonna miss you.. our darling auntie wong.


wtf.. so dam gay.. ughhh
