The restaurant is very pretty.

NOTL (Part 2) - Hillebrand Estates Winery and others
How can two wine-lovers skip the wineries when they are at the Niagara region? We randomly walked into Hillebrand for lunch, another wine-and-food pairing menu. Food wasn't bad, the restaurant itself is very nice. We should have had the lunch first before Peller's dinner. (We were too spoiled by the wonderful dinner, that nothing tasted right for the entire week.)
The restaurant is very pretty.

NOTL (Part 1) - Peller Estates Winery dinner
We went to Niagara on the Lake for a short get-away after my exams. We stayed at Shaw Club Boutique Hotel for 2 nights. The hotel was nice: courteous staff with modern and clean rooms. There was even a TV in the bathroom! (At first I was confused about why a TV is needed in the bathroom, but it was quite relaxing watching the Olympics torch relay while lying in the jet tub. :)) I also love their bar-coded style coffee machine. The Cappuccino is good. :)
On the first night, we dined at Peller Estates Winery restaurant. I have heard many great reviews. Going with high expectations, we were still super satisfied. We ordered the 5- and 7-course wine-and-food tasting menu. All dishes were great, flavours were very well balanced, and matched perfectly with the wines. It was a quiet night, and we made reservations late, so we were the only 2 at the restaurant, which made the dining experience more special. :) I highly recommend this restaurants to all wine and food lovers. (I do look forward to going back again.)

Holiday parties 2009
I haven't touched my blog for a week. This is probably the first time.
This year's holidays have been pretty crazy with a lot of getting-together's with families and friends. Although there was the holiday stress, it is very nice to be with our close friends and families during the holidays season.
Since we came back from Niagara falls on Dec 19, it's been on-going parties.
23: Got a call in the morning from Cathy inviting us over to have dinner and some Super Mario Bros with their family. How can Aunty Cowee say 'no'? They were nice enough to wait until I was done my mini food class to have dinner. It was so much fun chatting and playing games. Thanks chocho and Jasmine for the presents!
24: All-you-can-eat Lunch with work friends. What a way to start the holidays.
25: Christmas lunch with Ka's mom, then preparing for the Christmas dinner with both families + family friends. My cousin helped me got to the very last stage of World 8 forSuper Mario Bros.
26: Opened presents at my parents' on Boxing day. Party at Elia's. Elia always feed us A LOT of food even though it's supposed to be a pot luck. We pretty much just eat non-stop till 3am :P Opened our secret Santa gift. I love my new Pottery Barn bowls! Glad Tilly liked theSuper Mario Game + late harvest wine that I gave her.
27: House-warming and Christmas party at Janny's. Her place is really nice! The decor reflects her good taste. :) More eating and eating, and laughing with the UHS gang. We playedSuper Mario Bros. It was pretty amazing that after 5 hours, we got to end of World 7 from the beginning. I am sure if we weren't yawning with teary eyes, we might be able to finish the game before breakfast. :)
28: Holiday lunch with Ka's childhood friends.
At night, we invited EasTa and JG over forSuper Mario Bros and hotpot. We bought a Japanese Shochu to go with hotpot. After it was heated, it was very good. I was worried about not buying enough food, but there was still quite a bit of left over at the end of the day. :) EasTa bought a sparkling wine and a Blue Mountain coffee cake from Louis XIV which was a wonderful late night snack. (I love cakes!) I can't believe we chatted until 3am!
29: Was going to have dimsum with Ka's mom, but she made plans the last minute. So Ka and I continued sleeping happily until 1:30pm :P (I usually rarely sleep past 10am...)
30: Should have dim sum with Ka's mom tmrw.
31: Congee with my dad, count-down party at Steve's.
1: Oyster party at Joyce!!!
2: Hosting party for Ka's Pearson buddies. There will be so many big and small kids. It's going to be a wild party!
4: Took the 4th off since I needed to use up my vacation. I am glad that's the case. I will need some time to recover.
5: Dad's birthday
What a way to celebrate the holidays!

Done!! And... for those who've asked me: Why an MBA?
I actually started writing this post before my last exam. I thought I'd be so excited about announcing my finishing of everything, but the feeling is still sinking in. (Thanks for everyone who congratulated me. :))
---
Many people asked me if I felt an MBA was worthwhile.
After spending a good amount on tuition and thousands of hours in school, do you think I will tell you no? :) Many people say MBA is impractical, and that it is no longer special because everyone has an MBA. Well, let me share with you my take.
"MBA is impractical."
If you bear the short term vision to think practical equals a big fat raise and automatic promotion, then you are probably right. (Though some companies offer different salary level for MBA grads.)
One may also argue that they could read business journals on their own, and look out for networking events to reach the same outcome. I don't doubt that. But just like many people say they will go on a diet tomorrow, many people can't discipline themselves quite that well.
An MBA program provides the platform to let us meet people from different backgrounds and with different experience. I was in groups with a gentleman who was a VP at Japanese bank with over 20 years of experience, and another executive from Hydro One. And you have the occasion weirdo whom you get the chance to learn to deal with. I am a poor "networker", but the program naturally forces you to work with people, so I have built several very good relationships.
"Everyone has an MBA (真係周街都係), it's not special."
Just because the title is not unique doesn't mean you won't bring value.
MBA isn't about teaching you the fundamentals of Finance or Economics (I admit I am still pretty horrible with Finance :P); the program involves a lot of critical thinking. It trains you to think with different frames and to be more opportunistic. (Many people disagree, but Schulich's 601 brings tremendous value, I can say that after finish it :P) Two brains can think very differently.
So do I recommend MBA to others?
Absolutely. But only if you know your reasons to pursue the degree. It depends a great deal on the person to make the MBA program worthwhile for him/herself.

"When I finish my MBA..."
For the past months, my favourite saying has been "When I finish my MBA, I'd..." Every time I say that, Ka would reply "You have so many things you want to do!" The list is still accumulating. Let me jot down some of the items before I forget...
- Buy Dettol. (Ka thought I wanted to buy Dettol to suicide... No worries, it's just for cleaning. :) I bought myself a few Method cleaning products today to celebrate handing in my last paper... Don't laugh. I see cleaning up my home is like pampering myself. :) So as I was talking to 細v about cleaning, she reminded me that Dettol is good for cleaning the bathroom. I gotta buy a bottle. :))
- Clean up junk... There must be more stuff like clothes and books that I could get rid of.
- Use up my craft supplies. If anyone would like some craft supplies such as scrapbook paper, eyelets, origami paper, ribbons, borrow some stamps and more... let me know
- Print photos from the past 6 years. This will be a HUGE tasks. Probably a bigger commitment than my MBA.
- Post MBA parties!
- Engage back into volunteer work
- Make mini food! I actually started setting up a ETSY store to try selling my mini food. Thinking to sell the mini's and donate the profits to charity organizations.
- Play badminton, and go to the gym once a week
- Sleep at midnight or even earlier. I actually slept at 11:30pm last night! (Though woke up at 8am this morning.)
- Play
Super Mario Brothers - Start leisure reading
- Start up a work-related blog. I want to keep a more professional-related journal to reflect on my experience and actions/reactions in a business setting, and see how some of the knowledge/skills I gained from the MBA program could apply.
- Take the Wine of the Old World course
- Take golfing lessons
- Take an online language lesson
- Learn 'chong kit' Chinese typing (though typing the last few Chinese blogs in pinyin only took me 20min.)
- Learn how to make one new dish per month
- Research Asia 2010 summer trip
- Help my buddy with her wedding planning in Aug 2010! Time for my dress shopping too.
- Finish writing blog from my Stockholm trip and Michigan road trip
- Create slide show of different sets of photos and videos, and learn more techniques to create more professional looking slide show
- Watch movies Ghandi and Michael Moore's Capitalism: A love story
- Pay attention to the stock market more (It's kind of fun, it's like doing mini 601's)
- Learn to use my G10 to take better photos
- Start a FB acct? Still thinking... colleagues from my last MBA class actually started a FB group... I don't want to be disconnected from the class, but worried that I would spend too much time on FB.
- Learn
how to knit (Eventually... This would be my n-th attempt. I am good with most craft, but knitting I just can't do. I told Ka I would knit him a 1inch x 1inch square one day.)

咁快就兩年. Has it been 2 years already?
一個冰雪聰明又細心非常的老婆又怎會忘了結婚紀念日? (哈哈. 可可又自己贊自己.)
事實是這段時間可可為了快讀完 MBA 而興奮著, 差點忘了今天就是我和老公大人的 2nd anniversary.
老公大人有禮物給我呢. 不過, 可可口快快跟他說禮物無用, 要他拿去refund. 可憐的老公大人.(心還是甜甜的, 但那cutter真的不是我需要. 我只是不想把他買給我的東西拋到一邊就算... 不過我下次不會這麼blunt的跟你說要你refund 的啦. Sorry 呀老公大人.) :P
這一年, 我覺得我老公更加了解我. 很多時不用多說他都知道我想要甚麼. 可能近朱者赤,近墨者黑. 老公越來越有心思, 而我... 我就越來越無心思... 因為時間的關係, 沒有準備到任禮物, 也沒有準備到任何特別晚餐. (不過我夜晚都有提議去Dozo吃飯架.) 今朝切了塊心型麵包給他做早餐. (充滿愛心架.)
*** 剛贊完老公, 他便拿起禮物之一的朱古力跟我說: "嘩! 每兩粒有270 calories, 9g saturated fats... 嘩. 食完肥死你呀!"
Err... 老公. 你玩野呀! 係咪要refund埋包朱古力呀.
I admit my excitement over finishing my MBA is far more exciting than a 2nd year anniversary. But wow! Has it been 2 years already?
During this past year, Ka and I got to understand each other to a deeper extent. Ka may disagree, but he seems to know what I think / how I feel most of the time. (He is really good with unscrambling my illogical thoughts / words as well. :P)
Happy 2nd anniversary hun!

塞翁失馬
前晚用我個新茶壺喝茶. 茶壺新到都未有時間影相寫blog, 就已經落地開花了. (其實是個茶壺蓋跌了在我的玻璃飯檯上... 唔知落檯開花會不會富貴榮華呢！不過好彩張玻璃飯檯無事. 也算謝天謝地.)
尋日放工喺parking lot 滑了一滑, 來個倒地葫蘆. 好彩可可依然身手非凡. 兩次在公司跌低都無太大件事. 瘀左少少. 這次人也落埋地, 可能真係會富貴了. :)
Weekend煲粥煲到瀉哂. 後來無心機煲, 留返昨晚返煲. 好彩無燒焦! 昨晚煲多一陣好快就有粥食. 真好.
今日放了日假趕 paper. 返學前在樓下 tim 記吃brunch. 一出來, 見到架貨車好大煙呀! 見到已有警察在附近, 自己又幫不上甚麼, 當然就是快快走. 心想Hwy 7 一有意外, 一定大塞車. 看怕我都有一段時間等巴士. 不過好彩, 剛有架巴士到站! 就是因為這樣雞咁腳咁走, 就剛好追到巴士了. :)
來到學校發覺我的手袋的拉鍊鉤跌了! 爹娘兩個月前才買這兩個Coach手袋給我的, 兩個月內兩個袋的拉鍊鉤都唔見了. I am not Coach fan, but I didn't expect their bags to be this fragile! Grr. 不過好彩唔係成個手袋都唔見左...
可能前兩晚睇咗成語動畫廊的塞翁失馬的成語, 這兩天有甚麼"黑仔"事件發生我都抱著 "焉知非福" 的態度去面對. 真係好彩睇咗成語動畫廊, 如果無係一定以為自己又成為了破壞王.

禮物
細v 上星期從香港回來. 很高興她有一個愉快的假期呢.
她從香港幫我帶回我訂的小碗碟之餘, 還從台灣買了一本很正的黏土書給我!! (連對我的黏土hobby沒有太大興趣的媽咪也對這本書贊不絕口.) 雖然我有一大段時間都做不出這個黏土大師水準的百分之一, 但這書一定會對我的學習有很大的幫助.
更加正的是右手邊的那個 display shelf 仔! 間直是perfect. 剛好把我的小小黏土點心, 壽司放進了去. 繼Andrew送了個 mini cake display 給我後, 又收到這麼合心水的手信, 真係開心死我. 好鐘意呀!! 謝謝細v!!!
前晚奶奶又送了條鏈給我慶祝我讀完了MBA.
昨天又跟嗲o地, 媽咪買了對boots.
嘻嘻! 這麼大個人收到禮物依然想小朋友般開心. :) :) :)

A dedicated blogger
What's better to do when I have a group project due Tues, a 20-page paper due on Thursday (which I haven't written a single word yet), and a final exam the week after?
To post a blog post, of course!
I received so many nice gifts these 2 days. So happy. :) :) :) [Will share a photo of what Vikki got me.]
I pretty have done everything that I could to avoid starting my paper: rearranged some furniture, clean the bathroom, do the laundry... I guess this would be a good time to start my paper.

無獎遊戲 Can you guess what I am making?
What do you think I am making? (I haven't added colours yet.)你猜到這個是甚麼嗎? 未油顏色. (不過油完都唔guarantee會似d.)
Random coveration from the foodcourt
I didn't mean to be nosy, but I just overheard this conversation while having dinner in the foodcourt.
Friend to guy: How old is your gf? 19?
Guy: She is 18, but many people thought she looks 19.
Friend to guy: Yah... I thought she is a lot older...
Another friend: Yah.. I thought she is A LOT older too.... like 2 years older.
I am trying hard to remember when I used to think 2 years older is "a lot" older.

珍惜
可能因為前兩天奇怪的想為甚麼我很少會夢見老公大人呢, 昨晚的夢就整晚都圍繞著他.
夢中, 我們發現了他有可能只餘下五天的生命.
雖然有時候老公也可以很激心. 但大部分時間, 感受到老公就在身旁還是很窩心很感欣.
夢中, 跟老公一起知道消息後, 百感交雜.
平時不眼淺的我很想哭. 但又不想將餘下五天的時間在眼淚中渡過.
很想在五天內跟老公做完他想做的事, 但又覺得這樣做就像等於認定了老公五天後一定會離去的事實.
很想跟奶奶商量可以如何, 但老公又不准.
難過的我竟然留低老公在醫院, 自己去了上班.
下班探老公, 心裡還是七上八落.
不知應否把我們心裡的話全說出來.
很想他離去前跟他說最後的再見, 但又很不願說這個再見.
到了他的房間, 見他居然還能開心的跟我的小表弟玩遊戲機. (夢中的老公依然是個大細路!)
突然整個人定了. 原來只要他開開心心便行.
走過走廊, 從窗內望出見到了很美很美的煙花. 跟老公一起去看. 倚傍著他.
那一殺那的我明白到, 原來 '做甚麼' 已經不重要.
只要當時跟他在一起已經足夠了. (就算老公可能心裡還是只想著打機...)
到了第五天, 看著大鐘一秒一秒的過, 我便醒過來.
醒後第一件事是告訴自己要提醒老公去做body check-up.
每次碰到老公暖暖的手, 聽著他睡著時輕微的呼氣聲, 看著他看笑片時開懷大笑, 這些所有所有我都珍惜著. 因為我們真的不知道有朝一日, 誰會先離誰而去. 而這些我們習以為常的小片段只能成為回憶.

Did Christmas come early?
May be it's because I took Friday off (and went to One-of-a-Kind-Show).May be it's because FM97.3 and 98.1 are both playing Christmas songs.
May be it's because I have been playing
Sleeping really late, waking up late. Enjoy wines and junk food, I almost felt like Christmas came earlier this year. :)
Note 1: I made Pillsbury croissants Saturday morning with HK style milk tea. Best relaxing type of breakfast, in my opinion.

Mini Hot Pot 迷你打邊爐 (1)
天氣開始冷啦, 約埋一班朋友打邊爐就最好不過. 我的最新迷你project的材料. 那些金針菇很難整哦, 雖然我喜歡吃, 也只弄了適量便算.
What else is better than having hot pot with a group of good friends when it becomes cold. My latest mini food project: hot pot. These are only partial ingredients, there will be more to come. The mushrooms in the middle are so tiny and so hard to make!

My thoughts, with 3 more weeks to go.
3 more weeks of classes + 1 exam, then I would have completed my MBA.
Although I still have over 120% of final exam and projects to hand in, during the past 2 weeks, my procrastination allowed me to live in the state as if I was done: playing DS at night, randomly browsing on the internet, doing fun stuff over the weekends...
While I thought time went by quickly while pursuing my MBA, it went by crazily faster when I took my mind off from school for just a bit, sitting around doing nothing much. It is scary to have realized the two weeks flew by.
I need to learn how to use my "free time" better. Just like this past weekend, before Joyce asked me to go for a bbt on Friday night, and another friend asked us to go for the Food and Wine show, I was feeling slightly depressed. I finally had all the well-deserved free time, felt like there were tones that I wanted to do, but then couldn't decide how to best use my time.
Of course I am not not complaining about having free time :), but I gotta need to pick some things to do, so I don't just sit around doing nothing. :)

Just like this past weekend, before Joyce asked me to go for a bbt on Friday night, and another friend asked us to go for the Food and Wine show, I was feeling slightly depressed. I finally had all the well-deserved free time, felt like there were tones that I wanted to do, but then couldn't decide how to best use my time.
Of course I am not not complaining about having free time :), but I gotta need to pick some things to do, so I don't just sit around doing nothing. :)
