曾几何时,你的温柔与体贴,
善良与爱笑的眼睛,
已深深地占据了我的每个角落.
如今一切都像过去式,
你的一切,我都会永远记在心里,
时间或许能治疗这一切的痛,
但时间对我来说却只是习惯这些痛.
我能做的就只有祝福你找到更好的.
<想对你说的话>
怕雷声的你,是否能躲进爱人的怀里,
不带伞的你,是否能找到好心人遮你,
爱喝酒的你,是否能控制一下你自己,
爱付钱的你,是否能节约一下你自己,
常咳嗽的你,是否能记得要多喝开水,
慢条斯理的你,该好好策划你自己,
打扮性感的你,该好好保护你自己.

Stephen Covey
"Strength lies in differences, not in similarities."

you 've chose different path,
you know the process will be different
time frame will be different,
yet in the end, the answer will be the same,
we will reach our destiny by different path.

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

矛盾

人，总是活在矛盾下。。。
理想与现实之间划成了一条界线。。。
生活或生存由自己决定。。。
我所顾虑的事情终于“实现" 了。。。
毕竟是自己所挑的路。。。没得好怨。。。
时间将是一切问题的答案。。。
我相信，奇迹将会随着时间渐渐地出现。。。

但愿奇迹将会在我朋友们的身上慢慢慢慢地出现。。。一起加油吧！！！

Wine Tasting

- NC, please help me upload some pictures of that night - :)

We went for wine tasting that night at Taman Desa, turns out pretty interesting! Let me share our experience with you guys..

The most important thing to have while tasting wine, is good company. I don't think I need to explain why..

Do you know that wines have to be served in certain temperatures? Room temperature that is. Not Malaysia room temperature of course. The room temperature as where the old world is, Europe, where wines were first produced, at 7 - 18°C. The basic temperature principals, the coller the wine is, the less it will smell and vice versa. The lower temperature will also emphasize acidity and tannins. Tannins makes your toungue "kelat"; like when u eat an unripe mango near the skin. There are 3 simple steps to taste wine Simplistically,

Optimal Wine Serving Temperatures :

White Wines: 7-10 °C

Red Wines: 10-18 °C

Rosé Wines: 7-13 °C

Sparkling Wines: 6-11 °C

Fortified Wines: 13-20 °C

YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW COLD IT WAS THAT NIGHT!

There are 3 simple steps to taste wine; Sight,Smell and Taste.

Sight
Tilt the glass about 45°, holding the stem of the glass. Put it against a white background, usually your napkin. Look at the depth of color, the base, and the hue, the light ring on the top.

White wines gets deeper in color while aging. But the dessert wines are darker in color even when they're young. Red wines on the contrary, are dark in color when young and loses color when they age.

Swirl the glass a little, you will see that there's tears trickling down the glass. This, also known as Legs, indicates the level of sugar and alcohol in the wine. The higher the content, the slower the tears drop.

Smell
Put your nose into the glass. Nosing is the most important step of all as you will be able to smell he grape variety, age, whether it's fruity or earthy and the depth and intensity of the wine. Swirl it some more for more aroma to come out from the glass. We tasted a white wine that night. Smell so nice of passion fruit. It smelled so familiar to me initially, but I wasn't able to tell what it was. And passion fruit was my favourite!

Taste
When tasting, take a small sip and gargle (not vigorously!) for the wine to cover your whole tongue so that you're able to taste it fully. Mix in some air, oh well quite hard to describe, ask us to show you! A long taste meaning that the taste stays in your mouth longer and vice versa, a shorter taste for those that taste don't remain. A dry wine is wine with much tannin contents and the opposite is a sweet wine. Sometimes wine can combine many other tastes, smooth/ buttery when eggs are used to clear the wine. Sometimes other fruits are mixed together to get the fragrance as well. A Full bodied wine has a very rich taste while a toned down taste will be described as light bodied.

There was 3 glasses of white wines to taste, from light to dark, young to aged. The lighter one was a dessert wine, has more legs 'cause it was sweeter and smelled very nice. The second has a fainter smell and the last least. The dessert wine earns its name, I like it from the first sip! The older wines tasted with more tannins and my preference is against dryer wines.

Comparatively, when given the reds to taste, I didn't like any! From this class, I've learnt how to appreciate white wine more than red wine, when traditionally we have always drank reds on any occasions.

Come, come, let's gather one day to appreciate wines! We can cook and drink..so that we don't get drunk like the previous time at NC's hse!

I am proud of you !

Hi frens ! I am back !
I am so proud of my friends !
I would love to join you guys for the Cambodia trip, but it really seems that the timing is not right :( I am so proud of you guys that you are going to visit the Children Hospital in Siem Reap. Am not sure if you guys will be doing some voluntary work there for one day or just merely pay a visit. But the intention is there ! You guys are such a batch of super kind-hearted friends.
My spirit is always with you guys, bring it along ok ! I would love to give some donations toooo whether in kind or monetary..please remind me before you guys depart for a great fun trip!

from my personal opinion, Ho Chak is sucks!

well dunno u guys know this show from 8TV
the show is hosted by a girl & a guy ( i cant remember the names but they always there)
everytime i watch it, it s just disappoint me like hell
maybe i watched too much of Jamie, Gordon, Taiwanese & China cooking/food shows
it somehow standardize my taste
until this Ho Chak coming in
these 2 hosts, like never do preparation for their show
the cook intro today dish is pepper crabs
& the guy host asked again, "is it cook with salt?" wth......can he listen properly of what the cook just said? it happens all the time!
& at the last part of the show, they will teach us how to cook
it is so obvious that they are 'trained'
they skills are trained, not natural at all, have you all seen how Gordon grab the ingredients & throw it to cooking pan? that is called, I cook the food! not the food cook me!
& after that when they are done
they will eat it 1st, jz like a kid stealing the food from the kitchen.
their description on the food & taste are rubbish!
ya, you can explain that to a 5 yr old kids, jz sour sweet bitter or spicy
pls la, the show "survive" so long edi, ur speech should be grown up also
the words you use to describe are too naive.......
pls....improve it!
