It was drizzling but it did not damper my mood to swim.
and his mood to golf.
we are sooo confirmed weird couple..

We always bumped into Mr.Chai, our neighbour...
dunno why...always at the wrong moment....tsk tsk...
JS with his golf sets and me in my bikini.
everytime....

"oo..hi...goin for golf?"
"hi there, just came back fr golf?"
"good afternoon, heading to the course?"
"hie...back from a swim?"
"how was your swim?"

He must be thinking that we are damn free....
well which I am...hehehehehe
had baked courgettes and seafood risotto for dinner
it looks better on the plate!
goes very well with Krug Champagne
opened a small bottle 375ml...it looks so cute and petite!
okie, now compared with the normal 750ml, u can see the difference.
grapes for dessert
This got to be the best grapes I've ever eaten....
got this from the Isetan Japanese Fresh Produce Fair.
but blarddy expensive for one small bunch...RM 51.00
it's like eating berries packed with sweet wine in it....hehehehe

All filled to the brim

You can't really see what's inside...I've actually switched on the lights inside.
1st chiller
Bottom - champagnes and white wines
Upper tier - burgundies
There's two tiers with different temperature settings...
So for the champagnes I've set them at 6 degrees...as usual reds are kept at around 12 degrees.
2nd chiller
All reds and they are non-drinkable as in ready to be put to sleep for a few more years.
Wait lar...maybe on my special day...kakakaka..if I can control my cravings and wait that long.
Each chiller can accomodates only 43 bottles.
Me still admiring the sideboard until today...who wants to design sideboard come look for me...hehehe....*narcicist*
To celebrate we opened a bottle of Pensfold Shiraz 1994.
very good nose, tomato-ish.
herbaceous character....good and lasting palate.
I was surprised by its deep red colour for a 12 year-old wine.
Caramel after taste....very good with the marinara linguine dinner.

Today is Saturday, and it's weekend...
Monkey had to work!!!! *yikes*

*someone* said retail and merchandising is my passion, so he sent me for some spying assignments....
well maybe *spying* is a very strong word...so I shall use *MARKET SURVEY*
I never like "food to go" like these...
I enjoy my food to the max...
then lunched at Hatsumana BSC
Service = Poor
Food's presentation = okie lar
Food = sucks
Ambience = none
Price:
salmon sashimi (5 slices) RM 35
Squid sashimi (5 slices) RM 35
Yaki Udon (std size) RM 15

NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL.

I am not an alcoholic......

Someone commented that I am...
after reading my blog.
Just because I appreciate wines, ports, champagnes...etc..
It's APPRECIATION...not alcoholism.

Wait till you see *someone else's* wine chillers....
