growing wiser

had a whale of a time yesterday, savouring whole abalones, enjoying lou hei and other traditinal new year delicacies to celebrate the new year. got invited to dinner by one of the companies that is still faring well despite the downturn.

good food was aplenty and so was wine. suddnely it didn't feel as though recession has hit us. And the discovery of a premium red wine was the highlight of the dinner - a full bodied, smooth seductive wine with a silky texture was served. it didn't burn my throat even after 4 glasses! normally the cheaper ones are acidic and overly bitter. just a few sips will curb my appetite for more.

this was a memorable night to lift up my gloomy spirits. i'm almost at the point of packing up and moving on. Am i a wrong fit for a mould that was not meant for me? perhaps the initial assessment six mths back was not thorough enough. there are many hidden facts that didnt surface despite my due diligence. Wise men learn from mistakes. hopefully the next stop would be a better place where i can really see myself growing professionally in the long term.

lolx, kinda love your expression when you are drinking wine. ever thought about being a self made boss in importing and exporting red wines? Think you can have the whole farms for consumption?

Thinking of abundance :P
