Wine Company & Good Company


Wine Company is the place we went for wine on Thursday at Evans Road after a long and tiring day in school. Well, good company is the crazy bunch of SMU Human Resource (Performance Management & Compensation) classmates. Julez, Li Ping, Ash, Gary, May, Qihan (the only non-HR major) and I had a blast that night. Just writing this post makes me happy to know I've found wonderful friends in my boring PMC class.


It was a night of wine tasting and cheese tasting and for me, a discovery of wine drinking. And I love it! We were given somewhat a crash course by Gary (aka the sommelier among us). I love the german white wine (which the name is a super huge mouthful of german words) he picked for us. Cause its sweet-er. Anyway, we were the youngest bunch of people in the place. Yeah, pretenders of the chi-chi lifestyle. HAHA. But we are really not because we were the only people in the entire place to laugh out loud and play stupid but seriously fun games like Black Magic, How Many Meh Meh Jump Over the Fence, Who Does this Resemble, Bang Bang Who Dies and Annie Died, Did She Die?. If you have heard of and played those abovementioned games before, you would agree that no doubt they are lame but really really hilarious games to play in a huge group of people. Thankfully, we were seated outside and had no qualms about making alot of noise. In all, the 7 of us drank 3 bottles of whites and reds. No one got drunk.

LOL. Just thinking of the old-schools games brought back memories of playing them in secondary school and JC days. For awhile, instead of being a bunch of college students, we seemed to have gone back in time. I'm not sure if its the wine that made us feel more relaxed and less uptight, but it does feel so good to just not talk about school for once and just enjoy the company and the conversations.

We are serious about enjoying our senior year. So serious that we decided that thursdays will be set aside for events like this. Next up, Cafe Iguana! Looking forward already. This time round, I will remember to bring along my camera.
