Burnt, Sun Burnt.

That sounded like a cheap rip-off of "Bond, James Bond"; wait, it is a cheap rip-off. Went swimming today, pool was crowded (irritating), deck chairs all taken. I guess this will happen when the sun finally decides to show itself after two days of absence. I swam a little, and i was quick to scamper out of the pool when i noticed an empty deckchair. But i only spent an hour tanning, since the Sun was very strong, and i didn't want to get too crisp.

I've finally decided to learn more about wines, an interest that i've never bothered to follow up on. Now I hope to at least know the difference between a Chardonnay and a Sauvignon. However it's an interest that will not be actively pursued in the near future; the cost of a bottle of fine wine is enough to set me back at least a week's pay(when i start working that is.) looks like i have to stick to the bargain wines for the time being.

Was at Taka, they have this wine shop in the basement, when i saw this set of silver(?) corkscrew and stopper set. It would have been cool if the head of the stoppers were nicer. The heads were literally heads of certain animals moulded out of metal. SO ugly.

I said something when we were walking around, and my fren suggested that i make it a post. So here it is:

they either hire authentic or pretty.

The story behind that remark is that we were walking around the Korean food stalls in the basement, and the food stores were being manned by Koreans. Next we passed by a stall selling Korean tea (its not that nice, as my friend put it, it taste like jam mixed with water) and the promoters were all pretty young things. So my friend commented that they are all quite pretty. And the line just came out of my mouth. Unintentional but true nontheless.

Do not tell me that looks are not important, they are; and i'm justified in trying to look better, since i do not have the smarts, i'll have to try depending on my looks. So it's not being vain, it's a form of investment.
