Wine Appreciation @ Esmirada

Wine Appreciation @ Esmirada was the first of our Lifestyle Series and was held on Saturday, 29th July for Talentpreneur Hub members. Around 20 members and guests attended this maiden event, each eager to receive tips on how to better appreciate wine.

Fellow member Soo Hoo is an experienced wine connoisseur and has hosted
numerous wine tasting and wine appreciation classes, he and his team from Hermitage Wines kicked start the Wine Appreciation Class with an introduction of various wines and its origins.

Talentpreneur Hub members learnt about the basics of wine tasting and were intrigued by the difference between red wines and white wines, the quality of wines, grapes, taste, facts and other useful tips in wine tasting.

The Esmirada Wine Bar was the perfect location to host such a class. Cosy, with dim lights and excellent service, one might easily forget they are there to attend wine appreciation class.

Members all agreed that the delicious food, coupled with good wine and a relaxing
ambience went a long way to ensure that everyone had a good time learning and interacting with each other.

Talentpreneur Hub would like to once again extend a big thank you to Hermitage Wines, Esmirada and all members and guests who helped made this event a great success!

World Cup referee Shamsul Maidin inspires students

An inspiring article I got from Yahoo Singapore, Inspiring, especially the last sentence. Enjoy reading!

Shamsul Maidin made history when he became the first ever Singaporean to officiate four World Cup soccer matches.

Singapore's only referee at the 2006 World Cup Finals received special mention at PM Lee's National Day Rally on Sunday.

Mr Shamsul was widely acknowledged as the best referee of the tournament by fans around the world, a point highlighted by the Prime Minister.

"I didn't expect to be mentioned in such a big occasion. I'm really grateful," said Mr Shamsul.

"He (PM Lee) gave us words of encouragement and I felt that is something very personalized. After the National Day Rally, he came to speak to all of us and said that we should try to do better things and achieve higher levels," added Mr Shamsul.

The referee was at Montfort Junior School on Monday to meet the young soccer fans.

Two of Mr Shamsul's sons, who attend Montfort Junior School, say they are extremely proud of their father.

So is it going to be a case of 'like father, like son'?

"No, because it's very tough and have to do a lot of training. When I grow up, I want to be an artist instead of a referee," said one of Mr Shamsul's sons.

"No, it's very tiring," said the other son.

"If they don't like to become referees, I can't stop them. But as long as they excel in other sports, it's fine for me," said Mr Shamsul.

Mr Shamsul will be going to Saudi Arabia next month for the Asian Cup qualifiers.

He has one key message for the kids: Dreams do come true
