Good Palette

Been a while since I posted with pics so here's some pics with updates!

Don't think I updated this last week but I was floating on air coz a stranger (lady) came up to me at the bus interchange to say I look pretty and slim. Not once, not twice but a minimum of three times. OK, I know this is a little thick skinned but it makes me happy so... Just bear with it ok? Hehe.

We had a broker event tonite -Wine tasting nite. My god.. It's brilliant!! We had so many different types of wines and I was the only one out of about 50 people to score 5/5! Perfect score!!! They had a specialist wine critic, Jeremy Oliver, who was there to talk about the wines and give his opinion. Along with a book that he wrote. He came up to me and asked for my opinion on the wines. After which, he told me I was the only who had it all correct! He said I had a fantastic palette and that I'll outshine him!!!

Wines that I had for tonite. Answer: B, B, B, A. The last 2 wine selections are not in this list.

Proud moment when he signed and wrote my name on the book!

Of coz the proudest moment was when he told everyone that I would make a marvelous apprentice with my palette!!! I swear I was damn proud at that moment coz never have I been known or told that I'm good with my wines/alcohol and my palette!! I always thought I was shit! Time to change job?? Hahahahaha! Sad to find out that Alicia has tendered her resignation (horrors!!) and she told me I was cut out for broker line (not the 1st person to tell me that.. or for Sales line for that matter).

Oh well, guess I was also extremely pleased when Sandra went around telling everyone that I was crucial on the desk coz I'm the only one who knows how everything should be done and makes sure it gets done. *blush* Many thanks to Charles who introduced me to the broker and asking me along for the third time!

It was Thai food nite for dinner yesterday and I made Rad Na, Tom Yum Goong and Stir Fried Kailan with Mushrooms. Proud of myself as dinner was actually good despite the mess in the kitchen due to the lack of time and ingredient. :) Sooooo happy!!!

Rad Na - Thai style hor fun but tastes different from local hor fun!

Stir Fried Kai Lan with Straw Mushrooms - my favorite!

Tom Yum Goong made from scratch!

Been having it good these days and I'm more than happy and thankful! Grateful and feeling blessed. ^.^ Thanks to everyone for making my day everyday!!!

walking in the woods...

i was watching a tv show just now when i heard this description of love.. "love is like walking in the woods. some people fall in love with the 1st tree that they see, but there are people who cannot decide which tree they prefer. in the end, these people walk out of the woods alone, without finding any tree that they love". i find it quite meaningful. the woods may be big, but some people do manage to find a tree that they love. some people fall in love with the 1st tree that they see and it stays that way forever. some.. walk through the whole woods but due to indecisiveness, are not able to find any tree that they love coz they have either missed the chance n it's too late to turn back or they might have given up the chance. will they regret? some people do but some people don't. there's always 2 sides to a coin, isn't it? some people might have walked into the woods, found a tree that they loved n lost but yet found another tree to stay together wit

Rumour

Went to a club at Clarke Quay last nite called Rumour with the regulars from Instinct. The club is kinda like Dragonfly but the music is not as good, the live band and singers were also not that good. The lead singer who is supposedly the most handsome has got a whiney voice when he sings. Shudders.. Think I still prefer DF anytime, any day. Reached home at 6 and slept at 6.30am.. Tiring.. I have been pubbing and clubbing 6 nites in a row.. Think I need to cut down and relax a bit. But, drinking is a form of relaxation coz I get to talk to friends and enjoy. :p Had a chat with Mingjie (another regular at Instinct) last nite. He truly impressed me by wooing the same girl for 7 years! He knew her 10 years ago, got together for 3 years, broke up and tried wooing her back for 7 years. It's truly fascinating. I'm amazed and at the same time, envious. No guy have ever wooed me for so long.. All just want me to be their gf within days or weeks. Any longer, they give up or pressure me

disappointed n jer's departure...

been a little disappointed with friends.. the term 'friends'.. what does it actually mean? someone u can talk to, someone who will be there for u? how many people can do that for a long time? i'm not very sure but i used to try n keep it contact with close friends in the past. i did all i could to stay in touch n find out what's going on in their lives so that our friendship can stay strong. however, that wasn't the case. 1 fine day, i finally decided to stop taking the initiative to remain in contact with them n the result was, they didn't bother either. what happened to the friendship between us? i'm not sure. but it takes 2 hands to clap n i don't understand y i always have to be the one who makes it happen. i've lost many friends coz of that. upset.. of coz i was. i've always treasured friendships but i don't see the point of hanging on if the friendship is so 1-sided. disappointed.. i've always believed that to be friends, we have to
