Huh? Wine Investment?
August 22nd, 2006 · No Comments · I See I Write
One late evening, I have received a phone call on my home number asking if I wished to participate for a survey on Australian wine. Normally I would have politely told them that I am not interested. But wine?! Booze?! Alright, I surely have lots of inputs.

I don’t remember buying roasted meat in my life for the dinner that I cook. Well, when I was back in Hong Kong, my mother used to ask me to go downstairs and get some roasted meat but I never cook anything back in Hong Kong. Last week, ran out of idea what to cook, [...]
