Al Passo 2007

We tasted this bottle of wine last night (father day’s dinner). It’s an interesting bottle that requires a rather long time to decant for the taste to excel. When first open, the smell is rather insignificant. Feeling rather disappointed, I first tasted the wine about 30 minutes after decant and it is rather rough with poor stringent finishing. During the interval of dinner, i.e. 45 – 70 minutes of decant, the wine is good with dark fruits flavor, earthy chocolate flavor and complement our food (pork). After 75 minutes or so, the wine has finally blossom with both smell and taste being intense, rounded and sensational finishing, however, just when the wine reach its prime, the bottle reach its bottom. One must be wondering that they should have bought the magnum size bottle.

Fine Dinning

Our latest ‘fine dinning’ at home turns out to be impressive despite our high expectations. Great quality imported shoulder loin, combined with carefully prepared gravy source, nicely baked potatoes and fried beans. Paired with a 2006 Chateau Loborde from Lalende de Pomerol. Simply delicious. 95 points!

Baby Room

Haven’t done much in the baby room although the expected date is merely 80 plus days. Still need lighting, cupboard, drawers etc. We kind of like the bed though. I see someone is already enjoying the bed happily.

Mosquitoes Game

I have discovered a new game. Put two people inside my house’s downstairs toilet and see who can kill more mosquitoes in five minutes time. Latest results versus my spouse: 5 to 5. Winner to decide next round.

(I have no idea how and when the toilet become a mosquitoes hideout...)

Argument

A wise man once said that you may win an argument, but you lost a relationship. Therefore, one should not argue. On the contrary, my latest encounter has suggested that one should argue more as one can only gain if they fight for something they wish for. The more you argue the more you get. The more of a bad ass you become, the more you will gain. Yes you will lose some relationship, but I am sure we can afford to lose some, particular to those you have no intention to have any connection with. Wise or no wise, ultimate outcome is priority.

Shoes Problem

Both my badminton and basketball shoes breakdown within the same week. My favourite walking shoes that I have been using daily for more than a year is also coming close to end of life time. On the bright side, I have successfully purchased both the badminton and basketball shoes at the first place I shop and at a price well bargain for. Perhaps everything does end for a good reason.

Japan

With the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, our family urgently needs to reconsider on the up and coming July cruise in Japan / Korea. It has taken us more than a year to plan this whole family trip cruise therefore it would be such a waste to forgo this trip (even if we are able to get back most of the money that we have already paid), however, is the risk worth taking? To be continue…

Trilogy

My wife and I have come to the conclusion that the second part of the wedding trilogy, ie. The tea-ceremony unexpectedly appears to be the most meaningful section among the three parts. I wonder if other couples draw the same conclusion as us. It absolutely puzzles us why some would even consider forgoing this ceremony.

Its over finally

The wedding trilogy is finally over. Its far from being perfect, however, given the time frame, resources and man power available, I think I have done as much as I possibly could. Still, I miss out on some friends in invitation (which I don’t know how), I forgot to thank some friends in my speech (terrible mistake), mess up some setting which I usually won’t. It may not be as grand as some anticipated, however, we always struggle to decide if we prefer a grand wedding, a cozy wedding or a happening noisy wedding. Some claims ours are closer to the third one, which is a bit unexpected in a hotel, but perhaps it ain’t that bad either.
