CNY

ok guys it's been a long long time since I've blogged,and whatever the case,HAPPY NEW YEAR!

hitched a screen with 22's kids and I not Stupid too...yeah quite a touching movie but seems a bit cliched enough.i wanna watch fearless,the jet li film which my bro watched(somewhat illegally cuz he juz had his 15th bdae and they just looked at his year on his ic and let him watch an nc16 movie).i dun believe that munich and jarhead all got m18 and lee ang's brokeback mountain at r21.it kinda seems that all the crap stuff are cut and rated pg just for the sake of cash

on the big friday it's damned lessons.yeah who's crazy idea was that?whatever there were some really luckless chaps who had no breaks till 1015 and beyond.the concert was okay la,with the absence of the choir.if you think they're bad enough,CJC has it worse cuz they had lessons right until their normal timetables...ahhhhh.so that meant going back to cchsm is never an option cuz it was deserted except for me,val,cas and chris who was sleeping in the wushu room(and the long lost FG brothers).kinda reminded me of 28 days later the movie..aahhhh!

lol cny dinner yesterday wasn't quite a blast,but being fed on 3 types of booze and still standing means i'm quite better off.old grans' rice wine was so sweet and luscious i kinda shot down the chicken infused drink and then the champagne.i've to say that Laurent Perrier does make good champagne,but dun tell this to the cops cuz almost everyone in my family shared the magnum bottle,from the patriarch of the family,to the youngest kid(he's pri 3 btw).just about the only one who didn't drink was grandma,maybe becuz she's totally addicted to her homemade rice wine n prefers that to the premium french stuff.lucky my dad was sober enough to drive(but dun try this stunt next time.i truthfully dun wanna get caught by the expressway cops)

tasting notes
colour:golden
smell:a bit like hay,intense bouquet of chardonnay predominance
taste:apart from the initial prickiness,it's quite smooth,though not so fruity as expected
finish:long and continues for 15 mins.good considering that's my 1st sip of champagne in my life
quantity drunk:222ml.that's counted as illegal drinking

menu:
oysters in meat wrap:less peppery than last time.it's drenched in sauce,so truthfully i dun wanna waste champagne.
roast pork:crisp skin,yum!time for a riesling
steamed chicken:my bro would have fumed if he saw me taking both drumsticks and a wing.but it's juicy enough for an australian chardonnay
chicken in rice wine:the alcohol's good enough,so i shot them down.best of all all the alcohol's evaporated
steamed prawns:juicy and great,so a mosel works here
fat pork in soy:more riesling...but then it's a bit tough now cuz the sauce's so strong
abacus seeds:I'm a hakka,so they love to make this gummy and springy pieces.somehow i struggle to think of a wine to go with

conclusion:i'll get a German riesling from Bacchus next reunion dinner

oh yeah that kinda brings me to the end of my post.watchin die hard later just before i have my vegetarian breakfast,so off we go!
