Wine Connoisseur

14th May 2007, Monday

Another long dreadful week has been initiated and with the return of Mr Shitty Green Pants, the term "breathing down your neck" becomes a norm once again..sigh...
It cast BY with such chronic fear that she reported sick today..(actually just a mere fever)..
I was a buzzing bee for a bleak Monday with almost no time to slack...unlike a certain Beautiness who starts mending strained relationship with his fellow colleagues...no way in blue hell it will work with me...
Now he is planning a house-warming gig for his new love nest with his Hubby to announce to all of us (who already knew btw) that he is gay afterall...

Anyway enough about this wicked entity, I had a pretty eventful weekend once again...

I stayed home-bound on Saturday getting ready for my buddy's visit with his lass, showcasing most importantly to Mom who had seen him grown into a man as he is...
I had been meticulous with squaring up the place and ensuring the couple had a cozy time around to a state that my missus amiss and think I am treating my friends with such unprecedented priority and perhaps treating her side of friends rather indifferently...
Prejudice...she is right on the mark..
Fortunately my wife knows how to play her part to appease me and before long, the duo arrived by mid noon with impeccable timing to dodge a dodgy shower and prompt to indulge with the spread we had prepared on the dining table.
For her, her favorite Japanese beer, for him mere root beer, foamed with ice-cream just as we love it since young...he's still a wimp...
As we shared laughters with our wretched past, Mom returns with a pleasant surprise with a stalk of carnation in commemoration of the Mother's Day the next follows...
It is apparent Mom has higher opinions towards this saccharine damsel much more than some of my buddies' other halves, of course being the same enthic group helps the cause...
After some meddling of the NDS lite wi-fi connection and scarring Peiling's brain with my infamous "visual" photographs, we then decided to head home with my buddy for savory of some of his father's Italian wine...
His brand new off-peak mobile, a Subaru R2 which toiled through the highways with the combined weight of me and my wife acting at the rear, got us to Eunos in no time and the new member of the household seems to get acquitted with the things and home and start serving us with some sweet red wine which UB40 will sing about..
His parents and younger sister eventually returned and we had a rosy time playing with the fmaily dog, Happy while my missus tries to solicit the idea of introducing the tasty Italian wines to her Italian colleagues who had been finding quality wine from their homeland in vain...
Son we were been ushered home by my buddy who sent his lass to Clarke Quay, an apparent reversal of lifestyle from her own boyfriend who prefers glued in front of his game console on Saturday night.
Speaking of which, that would be exactly what well do next Saturday with our ol' wrecking crew which got me buzzing as I am typing this...

Mother's day Sunday and off I went to CSC for the second week at our booth which turns out to be pretty fruitful for all of us with eveyrone reaching a 3 digit figures by the end of the day but I could not hold on to that amount after spending a huge chunk on a mere figurine after been enticed by our friendly fellow seller, Gary as well as spending quite a bit on grocery at Cold Storage...

One of our buys was a pair of wine glasses to better consume those tasty red wines complimentary from TW's old man and we are starting to treat our wine better to bring out the best taste, as it is advisable not to warm the wine with the body temperature permeating from your hands, so wine glasses are the best choice to serve the best of the vineyard..
I even bought a costly piece of blue cheese to savour with the red wine,,gosh we are accustoming to be such wine connoisseur...hopefully not worsen into alcoholic anoymous

Last evening we caught "Priceless (Hors de prix)", the new French movie starring my favorite French actress Audrey Tatou (perhaps the only French actress I know).. This time our talented and petite Tatou portrays a gold-digger Irene who's life was vindicated to live off rich old chums before meeting a posh hotel bar-man Jean (played by a very Mr Bean-like Gad Elmaleh) who masqeraded as a wealthy man and woo Irene into bed before popping the bubble a year later.. by then he became smitten with the social escort and willing to dish all his life savings for the progressive profligate till he was forced to be a escort himself... A nice romantic comedy with the usual French quirkiness which I enjoyed..I am beginning to fancy classy European movies than brainless Hollywood blockbusters these days....
Japanese word of the day: ワイン ~wa-i-n~(wine) A little is good for health, a lot you might need to look for Pierre Png for a healthy liver
