Do

真的累了。

有觉得，做什么都不对。每次都不够好。

菩提本无树 明镜亦非台 本来无一物 何处惹尘埃。

Maybe I should just keep going forward. Doing what I want to do. Or rather, what there is to do. Can some one tell me what to do and how to do it?

A Sweet Encounter

A Sweet Encounter. The theme for Batch 11 Air Sommelier's Graduation. Held on the 28 of January this year. Having a total of 10 newly appointed sommeliers joining the family, crossing the century mark of 101 sommeliers in Singapore Airlines now.

The graduation ceremony had a presentation on sweet wines. Being a broad topic, we had decided to have a food and wine pairing. What better way to understand than tasting the pairing, the mariage of wine and food. Just name a few, Ice Riesling from Australia and Thai Mango Sticky Rice,  Tokaiji from Hungary and Foie Gras. With feedback from the guests, it was sensational!

Our Sommeliers have to get accredited by Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) up to the advance level. And attend a gruelling but very enjoyable 10 months course, with term tests and projects all thrown in. It was not an easy journey but definitely a fruitful one.

Heartiest Congratulations to all! Keep up the passion for wine. In Vino Veritas, In Aqua Sanitas. 

Decanter Shanghai

29 of November 2014. The date of the first Decanter event in China. First time ever in Asia, all five of the Bordeaux First Growths came together for a masterclass. All the big wigs of the wine world gathered in strength in Shanghai. Peter Sisseck of Dominus Pigus, Peter Gago of Penfolds, Aurelio Montes of Montes Wines, just to name a few. With a total of 99 booths in exhibition and over 500 wines to taste!

A group of young wine enthusiasts, 9 of our very own cabin crew, got together and went to attend this inaugural event. Had the fortune to meet up with our very own Wine Connoisseurs, Jeanie Cho Lee MW and also Steven Spurrier.

Through this experience, we were able to broaden our perspective and also get to taste many wines from the various regions of the world. Able to get more information and clarity from the view of the producers and most importantly, we are able to get a better understanding of the industry outside of Singapore.

Just came back from a run up and down the AKL wharf area. refreshing. long time since I had work my legs. need to get back into shape. a round shape. haha.

Everywhere I turn, I see you in my mind's eye. Saw a giant Nutella Jar. Saw Portofino. Saw a beautiful sunset. saw the "bimbo" wine. saw the cider that you like. 到处都是你的身影。 smiling to myself the whole way.

Thought about it... We are so happy together. 有很多的舍不得。可以不要只是一个过路人吗？can I not be just a passerby in your life? 可以给我们一个机会吗？我自己也不知道可不可以给你幸福，可是我会try. 愿意take a leap of faith? 

reflections from long ago.

Long since my last post. but today i am really feeling it.

Why do I fail at so many things? looking at photos. past and present-ish. feel a kind of sourness in my heart. aching enough that I had to write it. 

Looked her profile. She is doing very well. very happy for her. a much better guy than i ever can be. 希望妳开心，快乐，幸福，健康。只可以默默的为妳加油。I am sure such a wonderful and amazing girl like you, will have a fairy tale ending. deserve better than me. :)

另一个你。谢谢妳愿意陪小小的我。谢谢你愿陪我看世界。虽然我以为我是有机会的。

妳。真的。太可爱了。又美。又能干。我喜欢，可是妳觉得妳不配。嗨。

真的好想米兰和哥本哈根。
