  it is a mini brewery at Riverside point. They brew their own beer and have got different grades. Taste great, nothing like the canned ones.

  depends actually, being a microbrewery, their product isn't very constant.. had the most appaling brew there once... it was disgusting... but other times, it was refreshing.. a bit of a lottery, that place
  
  beer's nice however, too much carbohydrates especially guinness
  
  should try their lighter beer, Kilkenny.. the feel is totally different as it's nitrogen "carbonated"... that is, the bubbles are nitrogen instead of carbon dioxide.. it is lots smoother... almost creamy

  ahhh.. the harvest from the vine
  
  i love red wine it's an acquired taste... after a while, when you figure out the complexities, you'll appreciate it
  
  although i have to say i've tasted some really really appaling wines

  have yet to learn how to appreciate wine. But during the luncheon over the weekend, had the opportunity to sample some New Zealand wines which i think are great. Especially a white wine which has got traces of guava, very refreshing.

  slowly, slowly
  
  don't form an opinion on it quickly... mostly, lots of things go into appreciating red wine... firstly, you need good stuff...
  
  a good red needs some time to "breathe"... a bit of oxidising... some speed up the process by pouring it into a decanter... some swirl the wine in the glass (that's why you see the people "playing" with their wine)
  
  appreciate the stuff by having a clean palate... smell the aroma of the wine first.... take a small sip and sort of (for want of a better description) "suck the stuff through your teeth" letting the wine cover your entire mouth... enjoy the taste, aroma, the tannin, the fruity flavours... all that
  
  after some trial and error of experience, you'll kinda develop a taste for it, knowing your likes, dislikes, and what is good and bad stuff

  if all is in favour, we can actually go to the yacht club for dinner and drinks. Quite a nice place and i think the prices are lower than the pubs outside. The only drawback is tat it is pretty far, at west coast.

  serious.. just lots of useless information...
  
  strangling because sometimes, when people breathe down your neck and you cannot deliver not because you could not do it, but because someone else hasn't done theirs, is very frustrating
  
  like we say here in my section, we "pian chia pian chia" which is true
