Wine tasting recomendation..

last saturday, i did a wine tasting on Shaw Vineyard Estate, in Canberra, one of Murrumbateman's most awarded wineries.



Tasted the Melot, Shiraz, Carbernet Sauvignon, Riesling and Semillion sauvignon Blanc. I my favourite is Semillion Sauvignon Blanc..Crisp tropical fruit and a well balance palate of lime citrus flavour. Pair well with a bowl of fresh salad

















Next recomedation is the Melot.. aromas of spicy berries and rounded palate of ripe plum and blackberries. Well balanced acidity with a hint of oak. Good paring with red meat and brown sauce..

cycling in the rain

Yesterday morning, my usual weekend cycling session was met with heavy downpour, strong wind, thunder and chilling weather.. while handling the rough terrain of the dirt track.. but manage to make it back home alive.. and burned 530 calories..
Need to give myself a break today because all my shoes, gloves are wet..

Noisy Kid on MRT

This morning onboard the MRT, during the rush hour.. when the train is packed and commuters walk at double pace.. Then there is this little chatty girl, was chatting so loud to her grandfather, she was trying to speak in chinese accent.. well at forist i thought she is from China, then as her speech continues.. she chinese acents slowly switch to Singlish mandarin.. Maybe should call it Singdarin.. I was wonder why this child trying to speak in Chinese accents? Is it because her mandarin teacher is from China??

SAMSUNG GALAXY S3

I am currently using Samsung Galaxy S and wanted to buy Samsung Galaxy Note or S II.. But friends are advising me to wait for Samsung Galaxy S III...

The Samsung Galaxy S3 wait is getting closer to the unveiling event set to take place in London most likely on May 3. Online speculation claims the Galaxy S3 will pack a 1.4GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, 4.6-inch HD display, Android Ice Cream Sandwich, 8MP camera and NFC technology. WOW!!

For now a glimpes of the unofficial pic of the new Samsung Galaxy S III..

MRT down again

The MRT has been down for three consecutive days..

We human need at least 6-8 hours of sleep daily, i know some of you don't.. All MRT have to end their service at midnight and have to start ferrying the first passenger at 5.30am.. Now you see how many hours these machines rest? To make things worst, train have to arrive at an interval of 2-3mins during peak hour..

These problems arise when the populations rises and transportation system is stretch to its limit..
The more maintainance to the Train and Tracks will mean increase of cost. Then who will bear the cost? Consumer if course..

We need to look into other alternative to solve this problem, like encourage population to work near home, or best work from home.. built more facitlities, industries and financial centers in every heartland area so that residents area are more self sufficient, then residents will have to travel less.. This will also reduce the traffic problems too..

  

Long night at KK

Last night i spend a longest night at KK Hospital. My infant was constantly vomiting (4 times in a row). and we have to rush her to KK Hospital (she is fine now). Last night KK A&E was super packed.. I think it is because most clinic closed early on sunday night. There are over hundred patients to our queue. We have to wait at the registeration area as the waiting area are full.

There are so many children having fever, got one swollowed a coin, another injured her arms, a boy screaming in pain at the treatment room, some even arrived by ambulance.. Out of 4 arrived in ambulance, only one look serious. During the long night i witness the great compassion of many parents.. carrying their sick child, comforting them and the worried look. We left at about 4am in the morning.

Other causes of Enzema

There are other factors that can cause eczema too..

Here are some of my discover from the net...
Family history of eczema, asthma, hay fever or any other allergy, especially if both parents have or had these conditions. (yeah, should i blame my parents?? )

Emotional stress has also been found as a contributing factor. (I need a less stress job... time to hop..)

Various irritans, such as weather (cold-dry or hot-humid), air conditioning, wool in clothes, various chemicals and paints. (Got to move into heaven...)

Other allergens: feathers, dust, pet hair, grass, pollen, cosmetics, washing powder, shampoos. (Nomore perfume, no need to wash hair... gosh.. cant sleep on pillow..)

What Food causes Enzema

For every disease known to man there is a cure known to Nature.

There are many food that could cause an allergic reaction to eczema.
Foods that are commonly associated with eczema are:

- Dairy products like cow milk, cheese, various cheese creams.

- Wheat products like white bread, rolls, pretzels, crackers, muffins, etc.

- Acidic fruits like blueberries, canned or glazed fruits, cranberries, currants

- Seafood like scaly fish, lobster, crab, clams, mussels, oysters, prawns etc.

- Eggs and all the foods that contain eggs (damn egg is my favourite)

- Nuts like peanuts, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, cashews, etc.

Best way to test if your eczema is of an allergic origin is to remember what have you been eating prior to the eczema occurrence. For my case, what i love to eat.. Egg is my biggest possibility...

Singapore Un-Graciousness

Had a good time at Sentosa on Good Friday 6Apr12.. Had a good experience bring our toddler and family out. From the Vivo City, the Sentosa Express Rail staff direct all families with prams, kids, elderly and disable to a individual lane on the platform to board the rail... Every station we visit, were giving this priority.. Thanks Sentosa Management...

Then back to Seng Kang MRT, when we approach the MRT lift, a group of Indians (definately not locals), young and able adults cut throught all the families with prams and elderly with wheelchair and station themself infrom of the lift door.. once the lift door open, they rush in, leaving all the families with prams and elderly in wheelchair, staring at them.. No way we can get in..GOSH.. We have no choice but to take the escalator.. Then at the LRT Platform, i witness another similar case, a couple with a pram waiting for the lift when two indian adult, cut throught and stand infront of the lift door..

The MRT should station staffs at the lift or place signage to inform public to give priority to those who need it more. In Korea, if any able person take the lift in their Subway station, they will gets a good glare from the elderly and the disable, some might even tell you off (in Korean of course)..

Some friends are made this way...

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”    Some good friends are made this way because we have something in common...
Do you agree?

Extreme weather days

Heavy down pour every morning, strong winds with thunders and lightings.. A nice weather to sleep also... unfortunately, i need to wake up to prepare for work... Cooling climate when i leave my home.. When in office i have to put on my cardigan as the centralise aircon is freezing,  plus the cooling rainy weather outside.. you can imaging, winter in office..

Then come lunch time, GOSH... the afternoon sun is super hot and humid.. by the time i finish my lunch at the hawker center, i start sweating.. ok, then back to the freezing office again.. hmmm...

Police claim kidnapping is Untrue

After reading the news about "Spreading false kidnapping information", a statement issued by the police after much investigation.. I feel a bit of relief but at the same time, i think all citizens should be vigilant too. We cannot affort to wait till cases of kidnapping actually happen, then starts to feel regards  to investigate...  when a child is lost, it will be too late.. My child was once being aproached by a stranger and being led away right infront my very own eyes...

We cannot let down guard at all times.. What if a terrorist happen right before our eyes?
I still support so call by many as "kiasu or Kiasee" Singaporeans or netizen to keep speaking out if they found something weird that happen in our neighbourhood... We must always keep Singapore crime free and a safe place to live in...

Good samitarians...

Last night after a tiring day mending Nourish Loft's roadshow stall.. and early evening, was promoting wines to diners at one of the restaruant in Fusionpolis.. Had a great day, achieveing self impose sales target and gain lots of customers satisfactions... That day is one of the best day in my life.. Always very satsify when customers says "This wine you recomend is Great".. or "I can't wait to pair your  wine with my dishes.." or "Can i have another glass of that label, please.."Well so much for a day.. To chill down my MRT journey home was accompanish by David Sanborn's "Upfront" album..

I was waiting for the LRT at the platform, when i witness an old man pushing his obese old wife on the wheelchair.. the LRT arrive and when he reach the door, the wheelchair was stuck to the gap between the LRT and the platform..The panic old man keeps flumbling, trying to get the wheelchair onto the LRT before the door close.. To my relieve, a few commuters on the platform step forward to help him.. but the door of the LRT start to close after the door closing warning.. commuters force the door open and finally the wheelchair got on to the LRT.. Then the LRT was unable to move, as there is some default stoppage due to "forced open door"..

Then came the SBS Transit staffs, trying to figure out why the train is unable to move.. Silly staffs, i think they are not aware of what happened earlier, The old women wheelchair could have crush if not  with the help of the commuters..
