today was my last day at starbucks bugis junction. feel sad cause will miss them and the fun environment it was for me to work in. all the partners were very helpful and i learn alot from them. although at times i don't know what they are thinking, and i might not be able to joke with them. knew that i very hard joke with people de, maybe cause i don't know how far to go or when to stop or start bah. if only i was those joker type of person then maybe i will be better bah. haha. i only know how to listen to people, and advise them. think nobody can be perfect. anyway in the end i brought meiji chocolate with strawberry and chocolate with mix fruits for the partners there. hehe. hope they like it.
after that i went home to bath then go to my uncle house to make rice dumpling. hehe. the first few was horrible, my uncle have to help me do the closing of the dumpling and the tying part. it takes time to learn de, a skill you can call it. but after a while, i was okey le. =) cause i did it once last year as well. but this year i knew i was better. had to put alot of ingredients instead of rice, cause my uncle prepared alot. in the end we still left alot. haha. the ingredients contain, meat, mushroom, dried prawns, winter melon sugar. cooking the rice dumpling would take about 1 hour. i ate two rice dumplings and winter melon plus pork rib soup. as the first batch contained alot of rice, i go scoop some of the ingredients from the bowl. i was like practically eating the ingredients instead of the rice. haha. but cause nice ma. hehe. before that i ate banana, apple, pear, prawn tako pachi from bugis junction, one third of peanut butter wafer, thai coconut and jelly dessert. i ate wholemeal bread for breakfast. haha. so now while i'm typing this, i'm bloated.
drank a nice sweet white wine at my uncle's place also. i drink like 3/4 of a wine glass. haha. later i felt tired and keep yawning. my uncle's friend looked at me and laugh, say my eye swallon and i drunk le. o.O *box him* haha. after that he laugh at me afew more times. i so funny meh. but the drink was very nice! hehe. i leant more wine today. the basics, red wine for red meat, white wine for white meat. for good red wine, the taste will linger at the back of the mouth, and there will be a circling effect from your mouth to your nose. bad red wine will havve the taste linger at the tip of the tongue. served in room temperature, best if warm it up abit. that's why people will cup their glasses and swirl it to quicken the heating effect. for white wine, it does not have any taste lingering in your mouth. smooth nice feeling. serve chilled, and people would hold the glass at the thin stick area below the cup. red wine cup has a bigger surface area compared to white wine cup. cause to enhance evaporation which will improve the taste. while a campaign wine cup will be slimmer and longer. the reason for that i kind of forget le. never really concentrate on the last part. hehe. anyway my uncle ask me to pass a beer to my dad, made from germany. haha. i want to try also! realised that choya, japanese wine is actually plum drink with alcohol content. haha. interesting right, should try some time. and soy milk is actually soya bean drink! haha. i very blur. >.< is an alternative drink to those who cant take milk.
today was a bloated yet fruitful day bah. hehe.
