The whole story’s pretty long but I’m gonna tell it anyway cause its so awesomely cool!
Dad quit his highly paid, highly recognised job in India to come to Singapore to find a job so that he can live with us.
Can’t quite remember the last time dad worked in Singapore. Think he flew overseas when I was still in primary school. I often cried whenever he came back to visit, and then had to leave again. But over the years, I got used to it though it wasn’t something good to get used to. :/
Anyway, for the first whole month since he quit his job and got back, he sent out resumes and letters to many different restaurants and hotels looking for a job, but to no avail. It was quite disappointing really, because logically speaking, many restaurants would rather hire a foreigner than a local no matter how much experience he’s got. I guess it sounds cooler saying “My chef’s from Hong Kong” than “My chef’s local”.
Long story short, my dad got a job all the way in Indonesia. Going there would have completely wasted the efforts and sacrifices he made to come back to Singapore. We prayed, really hard that dad would find a job before he goes to Indonesia.
True enough God answered our prayers – at the last week, just when my dad’s about to fly to Indonesia the following week, my dad received a call from Mark Lee asking to meet him for a job interview. My dad also received another call from Tunglok restaurant group for a job interview. For Mark Lee, he wants to invest in my dad and open a restaurant for him! HOW COULD IS THAT? Probably the only downside is that my dad has to hire managers, waiters and other chefs.
Today my dad went for the food tasting for Tunglok and he got the job as Executive Chinese chef! WHOO!!
GOD IS SO AWESOME!
He’s never late, never early, but always on time!
