XiYan Mid Autum Select Wine Paired Dining

I am definitely no wine expert.. apart from the very simple fact that red wine goes with red meat and white wine goes with seafood, I really don't know my wine. I used to lean towards red wine before, especially Merlot. But somehow, in recent months, especially after coming back from Tuscany, white becomes my choice. Luv it chilled! Don't like it too sweet. Probably can't spot the diff between my Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, get mixed up with my Sauvignon and Merlot... lolzz.... but most likely know it if you give me a Chablis... i much prefer the latter.
But when you paired fine cuisine with fine wine, I'm in! What more when this is enjoyed along with great company :-p
Luv the food presentation and thoroughly enjoyed the exquisite taste. They are all so nice I don't really know which is better.
So thank you Shirin for including me on this culinary experience. Bez and me thoroughly enjoyed it!

Halloween

I know it's still a long way... few more months but Bez already got me excited. He come up with this theme party for Halloween.. Musical Theme. U come dress as your favorite artiste... or anything that represents your favorite genre. He of course will be Slash. But sorry no budget for leather jacket. Any sponsor? Anyone can loan him one? Mummy is not ready to spend a fortune for a nite of fancy. Jared says he will be the Michael Jackson, the older version and Javon the young MJ. And it's unanimously agreed that Wesley be Rick Asley! Lol.... he loves to rick roll everyone. Daisy can be Dolly Parton. And myself, Dor suggested the 881 - the Papaya sister. LOL.. maybe Daisy can be Papaya sister with me... Let's drape ourselves with boa and trinklets. Alex's favorite is Engelbert Humperdick and Alvin says he will come as KISS - leather outfits, white face and lightning slash across. Yet to know what Shirin will be. PCD or Rihana? Oh this is going to be fun.. Lots of ...

Strawberry Orange Daiquiri, Anyone?

Image
2 super red, succulent strawberries and 1 orange. Cut it up and freeze it for an hour. Add aloe vera - super healthy! Add honey. Blend it and wala! Yummy delicious daiquiri is ready. Virgin thou. For those above 18 add a shot of rum and omit the honey And trust me, It's simply awesome! And what make this even more delicious is that it is prepared for me by my dear Bez! His special concoction, though i don't think he realise that it is quite like a daiquiri without the alcohol :-) I know I am bragging again, but really I think his future girlfriends will be very lucky cos he is cute, smart and he can cook! He plays the guitar too. But of course not forgetting he can be pretty boring, preferring to spend most of the time in front of the computer. And forgetful and not very organise. LOL

My Implants

Image
Dr Lynn Yeo - www.lynnyeo.com.sg Its been 11 days after the implant... I am seeing fine now. Close vision still not too good but according to Dr. Yeo, my eyes are still adjusting. That probably explained the fact that at certain time of the day I see fine and some time, a little out of focus. For near sighted reading, it helps using a reading glass. At least for now; may gets better, may not. But thats just for reading. Otherwise everything else is ok. Can check out the cute guys, no problem :-) She also given me the green light to resume work out. So I am hitting the gym tonite! Yippee! Ok, the moment I mentioned implant, everyone's eye automatically move to u know where! No I don't need that! I am proudly well endowed :-) So I have this need to clarify. Its ICL or rather in my case, Toric ICL - implantable contact lens. Lasik is something I've always wanted. But unfortunately I am not medically qualified because of my thin and irregular cornea. I was so disap...
