I had a most excellent serving of red wine last week. My postgrad decided to entreat us to a bottle of Margaux. Excellent and well accomplished, really! I enjoyed every bit of it, and every sublimation of tranquility in the taste. My boss told us it's mainly consisting of blackcurrant, so it's quite different from the usual red wine that i consume - Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot. So it's refreshing and tantalizing. And it's costly too. Cost my postgrad a bomb. He mentioned that every 10ml is about $1plus, so that amount to about $70+ for a 750ml bottle.
Sighh.. I miss the taste of that red wine. Much as I adhere to cocktails and beers (which is even at a rarer occasion), I realise that I enjoy much more the refinery in the taste of wine.
Ah, to wait for the second brother's much awaited opening ceremony of the Ice Wine, or should I more aptly say Eiswein. Well, for that to happen, I guess it doesn't take much understanding for his pretty girlfriend (soon to be wife; I'm waiting for that to happen too) to come to our house, and a very good reason for my belief being rooted that the wine is now currently at her place. *grinz.

bye bye NTU
that's what i've been waiting for, to announce to the whole wide world. but first i need to be sure, n i need to inform my boss first before i put anything up here. for someone who likes to google a lot, i'm not surprised if one day he lands at my site for inspection. hee... but the beans are out of the bag since Monday as i got my contract from ORI last Sat.
still, i feel somewhat sad at the prospect of leaving. kinda sad n hard to announce to ppl.. but i'd rather they hear it from me than from someone else, esp those closer friends i hv come to know here in NTU. so the ball is now set rolling n my last day of work is on 21 July.. break for the weekend before i start work at my new place on 24 July. i wonder how it wld b like there...
hmm.. a lot of question marks to be filled.
p/s: n also bye bye to my tagboard. it's somehow become heavily spammed, so now i've removed it..
