Water Leaking

The Water Leaking Issue in my house is absolutely driving me crazy! I have gotten advise from five so call experts. Each has its problem.

Contractor 1: The-White-Stick. Its not the first time I employ this contractor, however, they are absolutely terrible. Telling me it is due to a burst in the main pipe and cost RM 1,700 to fix. This is absolutely the worst possible reason one can give. Probably work if the customer is 2 years old cause a three year old knows it is not possible.

Contractor 2: The-Borrow-Pee. The contractor who fix our leaking water two years ago. They basically say they don't know whats going on and will look into it next week. The following week they will say next week. And then the same the following week. Same thing happen for 3 months.

Contractor 3: The-Great-Shark. Recommended by a mutual friend, this is worst of all. Sound and look professional and 100% confident that the leaking is due to flooring and that it cost RM 4,700 to fix a small portion of toilet. Worst thing of all is they are wrong despite being 100% confident.

Contractor 4: The Honest Apprentice. A young boy who able to realise the actual problem. A small problem actually and cost much less than the previous few contractors. Problem is he wasn't as skillful to fix it in one go.

Contractor 5: The young fellow. Very similar to contractor 4. Able to identify the real problem but I didn't select him because he simply looks too young and inexperience.

Anyway, the problem persist as of today and god knows when it will be fix for good.

GOT:- John Snow is dead (or is he?)

So the George has decided to kill John Snow, probably the most interesting character in the show. Lets kill Tyrion next, follow by Daenery, then Arya. You know what, lets kill the dragon too. I know you are not going to kill Sam cause he sure does look like you :)

So is John Snow really dead? Maybe he is to be resurrected. Maybe he wargs into Ghost. Maybe he is indeed Azor Ahai or maybe he really is dead. Nobody knows which theory is real but everyone knows one thing for sure- John Snow knows nothing. :)

Wine Exhibition Part 2

Tasted more than 300 wines over three days in the Exhibition in Singapore. The following wines gave me the most impression. They may not be the most expensive, but the most unique in my mind.

Probably the best Malbec in the world (from Cahors). Extremely expensive for a Malbec. Price equavalent to some Grand Cru from Burgundy.

The little can wine is cute. The taste is surprisingly acceptable.

Wine makers are ladies. Pretty too. Vines are surrounded with flowers, lavenders. The wine is very feminine. Very floral and very unique. Smells like flower wine.

Tasted many great Piedmont wine but for some reason I just like whatever wines produced by this producer- from Barbera to Dolchetto to to Nebbiolo to Barolo.

One of the best Italian wines tasted in this trip. I even requested a sample for this wine.

I didn't get to taste some really great Burgundy White this trip. These are ok only.

I particularly like the last Burgundy Red- Chateau De Santenay Beaune Premier Cru.

A good Spanish wines from Ribera Del Duero. Can you see my reflection in the bottle?

Wine Exhibition Part 1

I have the pleasure of going to several exhibition in the last month. Wines worthy of remembrance in the first exhibition are as follow:
A 1981 White Wine from Burgundy. Still very special and distinct on the nose. Bit weaker in the mouth but it is still very special to be still drinkable in such old vintage.

All these wines are so great (particularly the Grand Crus) that it makes the Vosne Romanee Premier Cru taste like an ordinary wine. My gosh! I particularly enjoy La Grande Rue and Clos de Vouge

Turtle Soup

I always love to promote Malaysian food as opposed to Singaporean food, citing Singaporean food to be the 'clean' version of Malaysian food; therefore very similar, cleaner but less tasty and at a much higher cost.

The last meal I have in Singapore in the last trip is this Turtle Herbal Soup. With the addition of some herbal alcohol, this soup is very delicious. Its very pricey however, equivalent to RM 50 per bowl/meal therefore will never exist in Malaysia. Nonetheless, if you are going to Singapore and going to spent a lot in any meal anyway, then you should probably give this place a try.
