SEA Best Sommelier Competition 2012

Wednesday afternoon, our class skipped Beverage Studies class and attended the South East Asia Best Sommelier Competition 2012 at Westin Hotel. Oh well, is still under Bev subject and under the same lecturer :P

Our class only had 10/16 attendance, when G2 and 3 had full attendance. xiasui la!

The bus was scheduled to leave uni at 1pm, but god knows what reason we only left at 1.30pm. I thought we were going to be late as Ms Jasmine told us that the competition will start at 2pm. Reached there somewhere before 2.30pm and noticed that it will only begin at 3pm. Ms Jas, you trolling us? Nevermind, had some wine testing before going in, but dint try as much as the previous time. I dont wanna get home in a drunk state.

This is the 3rd SEA Best Sommelier Competition. First one was held in Ho Chih Min, second year in Indonesia and third time in KL. This year the 3 finalist where from Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. First they had to do wine identification, then professional wine introduction, serving wine, suggesting what wine to go with what food, and another round of professional wine introduction. The Indonesian guy was so nervous throughout the whole thing. The Singaporean guy was doing good from the starting, until he asked the emcee to set up the glasses for him and got rejected. Then he started to panic and did all sorts of mistake. Wasted. Finally, the last one to come out, our Malaysia representative, Edmund Liew. He was a former Taylor's student according to our lecturers. Nice! He screwed up a little in the middle but overall it was good. Ok la, no matter what he will be good. *so bias* Guess who won this competition? Malaysia! :D we were all cheering for him after they announce the results. Runner up Indonesia, first runner up Singapore. 3 years champion for Malaysia! WOOHOO!

Just as we stepped out of the hotel, the rain started to pour. Y U NO RAIN EARLIER! Jing En and I planned to take the LRT home from KLCC. Is good to finally get a transport kaki. Now I don't have to walk to After waiting for him to finish taking photos with his classmates, we ran across to Pavillion to get to the connection bridge to KLCC. Some of our classmates thought that we were going to Pavillion for shopping. Are you guys crazy? I almost tripped and fell on the way to KLCC. Jingen y u walk so fast! Another xiasui moment when he heard the loud noise and turn back and tell me to be careful. Really no face d. Reached Masjid Jamek LRT to find my sister, but couldn't find my way out. Was heading towards Sentul Timur which I don't even know where is it. After some walking, I finally met my sister and get home. I seriously hate to walk fast and far in heels!
